And you go before the throne to be Judged. And he asks you,
Why didn't you keep MY laws and MY commandments and statutes ALL of them?
What will you say?

This idea of a Second coming is a misunderstanding of scripture.
Jesus has no intention of returning as a living human. He already did that.
This time Jesus is returning in the hearts of those who have accepted his message and try to live their lives to emulate his teachings. Few actually do this. It requires a radically different interpretation of love from the one understood by most so-called believers. Most people see love as something that you keep in reserve only for those you have judged worthy of it.
This is not love at all. This is only judgment. Judgment is the exact opposite of what Jesus was teaching. Remember judge not lest ye be judged. Jesus asks us to love our neighbor. Notice that there is no accept for in this statement. Every one is intended to be included in this love Jesus ask us to have for our fellow man. This type of universal application of love requires no judgment on our part because Jesus’' intent was that no one be left out of it.
This is a difficult pill to swallow for any religion that thinks of it's self as being the one true and only correct way to God. This idea of exclusivity is the exact opposite of the message of inclusively that Jesus gave us.
Attaining the goals that Jesus set for us may be difficult within the constraints most religions impose. This is why many who seriously try to emulate the true teachings of Jesus in their lives do not ascribe to any particular religious following. They follow the truth in their hearts where Jesus has taken up residence.
Love and blessings.

I don't plan on being in that line. I would have already been separated. Matt13:30, Luke 3:17...
But honestly, what can a person say standing alone before a holy and righteous God in guilt? Knowing that they heard a little of the gospel, but refused it. OR seeing the face of that person who came to them in love wishing to tell them about Jesus but they cursed them. Its not that they weren't told about it, which makes it even worse. I pray that God have mercy. His kingdom is for those who are redeemed and live their life according to the word. Doers of the word instead of just hearers of it.
What about you friend? Are you a doer of the word? Or are you just someone who rains fire and brimstone down on people who have not yet had the scales lifted from their eyes? You are required to fulfill the great commission and you know how you do that? By sharing your testimony which is a witness to God...thats it. Plant the seed and let God do the rest. Asking questions like this is "foolishness to those who do not believe". So, its pointless. This is not witnessing.
Christs blessings to you!

I will say....But Father God, I'm a
Seventh-Day Adventist, and we keep all of your commandments.
Even the forth that says "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it Holy". We worship on the true Saturday Sabbath as you have commanded....And we read and teach strictly from your Holy Bible and hold it as our only Creed........what will you say ?
Have a Blessed New Year!
And thanks for the great question !

I will say,Lord ,because I was saved by your shed blood,and believed that you died and rose again ,nailing all those commandments to the cross as Collosians 2 says.The just shall live by faith,not the law.You died to redeem us from the curse of the law.Now ,because as Galatians says ,I am led by the Spirit ,I walk by the Spirit.
It is by Grace ye are saved ,through faith and not by works.It is the GIFT of God lest any man boast,says St. Paul.

I will say:
"Who are you to question or judge me? You are the origin of all that exists, Good and Evil. You are the one who created me, knowing full well the course I would take throughout my life. You judge me yet you are ultimately responsible for everything I have done. You are not worthy or fit to sit on the throne, and I am far more worthy to sit in judgement over you than you are to sit in judgement over me. Keep your Heaven, my morals mean more to me than any deity ever can, and I'd rather burn in hell for being a good and righteous person than celebrate in Heaven by kissing your hypocritical butt and by such action abandon all good morality."

Your question assumes a point not proven, namely the final judgment. You can't prove the existence of God, the inspiration of the Bible, nor the final judgment by simply claiming that they are so.

Everyone has sinned and he died for our sins and we have been forgiven. Oh and Don do you believe in preterism? and....I don't think He will ask us that...we will give an account of what we did while on earth.

Because they're yours, obviously. Wouldn't do to go around stealing from the son of god.

How can one stand before an imaginary being? For that matter, how can an imaginary being ask questions?
