Why does the Bible say that we will held accountable for our sins on Judgment Day?

Question

Yey God also states very clearly that he will forgive us our sins, and remember them no more. Is this not a contradiction?

Yet*..sorry for the typo.

I don't see the need to be rude about your answer. I am a Christian, and just looking for other opinions here. God bless, and Merry Christmas.

Answer 1

When you becaome a Christian, God will forgive your sins..........

If you willingly and knowingly keep committing thise sins though, you were not sincere in asking for forgiveness and those are not forgiven.
As Chrisitans we are supposed to try to live a better life and try to not committ those sins again..............We are human and we will fail from time to time.........but all that is required is that we are sorry for failing and ask for forgivenss again....and try to do better

Answer 2

God will forgive your sin if you have Jesus as your savior, and it isn't a contradiction. Remember too that what most believe are sins were made sin by man (the church clergy) to fill the coffers of the early church. What better way to make money than to make something a sin and require payment to have those sins forgiven?

Today, many pick and choose what part of the Mosaic Law they want to abide by. If you are a Christian (accept Jesus as Lord) then you are no longer under that law but are under the Law of Grace. Man, not God, has twisted the Word to fit man's desires not God's design for us all. Christians have been told so many lies about God and Jesus and sin for so long they believe them as truth. I was the same until I finally learned the truth. Believe me the truth is available but you have to look for it.

Yes there will be those who disagree with me, and that is fine that is your right, but please at least read and not go blindly into the night.

Answer 3

No- the Bible is talking ab\out those who have not asked for forgiveness.

Read a little further & you will understand, once you ask for forgiveness, accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour & repent ( turn away ) from sin, God will never bring up, nor punish you for sins. Now, that does not mean there are no consequences for our sins. Health, finances, relationships can all be ruined and or lost because of our sin.
But God, says, As far as the east to the west that is how far your sins are to me.

Answer 4

It is my opinion that you do not read the Bible. This is very important at this time as we are in the final days of this Earth Age.
Start reading for yourself and you will see soon that the answers you ask will be answered by the Holy Spirit.

Now for your question.
There are no contradictions in the Bible. This is just people talking who have never read the Bible.

a person that does not do the Will of the Father and accept His Son, His Saviour, Jesus Christ as Lord will definitely be held accountable for the sins they have committed and for every word that has come out of their mouths. Scary Huh.

Now for those that have accepted Jesus Christ and have repented of their sins and have change their ways to follow in the paths that Our Lord has set for us will be covered by the Blood of Jesus Christ and will share with Him everything. Neat Huh.><>

Answer 5

Matt.7
[1] Judge not, that ye be not judged.
[2] For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

John.5
[22] For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

John.12
[47] And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. (this is Jesus talking)

Is this a contradiction????????

John.9
[39] And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.

The bible is somewhat unclear on judgment at first glance, or even after major study of it. I think that Judgment Day is different than what most think.

It clearly says that the Father judgeth no man (John 5). So that can answer your question about God judging when he can’t . He can not because once the Son has judged rightly then the sins are gone and there is nothing to judge. So how does the Son judge, when it also says in John 12, “I came not to judge the world, but to save..”. That is because there are two separate meanings to the word “judge” in the bible. If you say it like, “ I will judge you for that so you are sent to hell”, this is the kind of judgment that man does amongst themselves. Satan is the accuser of men (Rev 12). But if judgment enters you and is used as a kind of deciphering tool, then the word is used as a sense of judgment within ourselves to decipher what we should be doing. Jesus comes into us to give us judgment and to save us from the accuser. Then once we realize what true judgment is, our sins are gone. Once we are born of God we have true judgment (Jesus comes for judgment (John 9), and we sin no more. We then truly throw away the tree of knowledge of good and evil and eat of the tree of life.

1John.3
[[9] Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

Answer 6

Judgement day is in reference to the resurrection.

John 5: 28, 29: "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment."

Throughout history, many have been ignorant of God's laws, principles and standards. They did not have the opportunity to learn these and either accept them or reject them. When the resurrection occurs, they will have the chance to do so. At this time, whatever sins they comitted in their previous life have indeed been forgotten, for "the wages sin pays is death." (Romans 6:23)

Answer 7

The Bible tells us the only category of folks who will be held accoutable for their sins are the unsaved. This is graphically demonstrated in Revelation 20:11-15. If you notice, the unjust are judged solely by their "works," and since works cannot save a person, they are found fully guilty of their sins.

Conversely, believers who have been Born Again are judged for their sins at the time they believe, but not held accountable because of Jesus' sacrifice. The judgement of believers in Heaven prior to the Second Coming judges a believer's works only. Rewards (crowns) are based on the purity and quality of a believer's unselfish works to advance the Kingdom of God. This judgement is described at 1 Cor. 3:

9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building. 10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. 11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

Peace and Merry Christmas.

Answer 8

Your ignorance is impressive. Read Just one of the Gospels and you'll get your answer. When your break a law you must face puishment. When you break God's laws you face hell. There is something you must do to have your sins forgiven otherwise you will go to hell.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6

15"The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!" Mark 1:15

"Produce fruit in keeping with repentance." Matthew 3:8

If you don't repent and believe that Jesus saved you, you go to hell.

But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." Revelation 21:8

Answer 9

You will be held accountable for the things you continue to purposely do wrong. Not for the things you asked forgiveness for. If you ask God for forgiveness and you continue to do the same thing, inside you really are not surrendering to God completely. Therefore, I think we are going to be accountable for those things.

Answer 10

So you don't think Judgement day could happen quickly, without you getting a chance to pray away your sins?

Do you find being held accountable for your actions an uncomfortable thing?
