can anybody here say they are comdemned by God, By Christ, or do we only find this out after we die?

Answer 1

It's clear in the Bible who is condemned and who isn't.

Answer 2

We condemn ourselves and we close our own probation.
Romans 6:23
23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Answer 3

truth be told, God said he planted eternity in the hearts of men. We are judged based on what is available, and what we know. If the truth is available to you, then you're expected to use and follow it. If in the remote Indonesia forest, then you don't have access to what we know as our guide system (the Bible) and maybe never heard of it. But by your conscience you're judged. Even in those remote tribes, if a man steals, it's considered wrong. No one has to tell you the basics of good living, it's on our hearts. When we go against what we KNOW we should do, we condemn ourselves. So, we can only live in expectation of what we've consciencely done. If God/Jesus forgives us thereafter, it's purely grace.

Answer 4

16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[f] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.[g] 19This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."[h]

Answer 5

You find out after you die. But you can be justified.

Answer 6

No one on earth at this time can make that judgement only God!@~

Answer 7

That's a lie straight from Hell.

SATAN condemns you for the very thing he talked you into doing wrong.

God convicts you, stirring your heart to repentance.

Answer 8

if we do not follow christ we are condemned

Answer 9

Actually, you never do find it out. When you die, your dead and in the earth, as Christ Jesus was for 3 days. Do you really think he went to a burning Hell? SERIOUSLY? He was without sin! Yet he ONLY went to Heaven AFTER his resurrection and the Bible says: He was the FIRST IN ALL THINGS. This means that all those who died BEFORE HIM, from Adam on DOWN to Christ were still in the GRAVE. THEY HAD TO BE OR THE BIBLE LIED ABOUT CHRIST BEING THE FIRST TO BE RESURRECTED. I'm not trying to funny or smart, just scientific in my process of elimination.

I do believe Christ was raised from the Dead after 3 days and ascended to Heaven some weeks after. After visiting with his apostles, etc. HOWEVER, that begs the question, if he was the FIRST, the where were the rest?

When you die, you die, i.e., Jesus Christ died and went to Hell for 3 days and was resurrected, however he was DEAD, he was not burning in eternal fires. Christ Jesus also promised his followers a resurrection, and this is ALSO WHERE everyone who DIED BEFORE CHRIST is resting, waiting for their resurrections. Read below: For one thing, the scriptures speak of 4 hells, plus the “Lake of Fire” in Rev. 20:14.

Occurrences of Hell in the Bible

#1. Hades mentioned in the Bible 10X by Name
#2. Gehenna mentioned in the Bible 12X by Name
#3. Sheol mentioned in the Bible 66X by Name
#4. Tartarus mentioned in the Bible 1X by Name
#5. The Lake of Fire


#1 HADES
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/hades

The unseen world, translated hell in A.V., Matt. 11:23; 16:18; Luke 10:15; 16:23; Acts 2:27,31; Rev. 1:18; 6:8; 20:13,14. See Hell. Eventually, came to designate the abode of the dead.


#2 GEHENNA
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/gehenna

Gehenna' is a word tracing to Greek, ultimately from Hebrew: Gêhinnôm also Gei ben-Hinnom (Hebrew: גיא בן הינום) meaning the Valley of Hinnom. The valley, which forms the southern border of ancient Jerusalem, is first mentioned in Joshua 15:8. Originally it referred to a garbage dump in a deep narrow valley right outside the walls of Jerusalem (in modern-day Israel) where fires were kept burning to consume the refuse and keep down the stench. It is also the location where bodies of executed criminals, or individuals denied a proper burial, would be dumped. Today, "Gehenna" is often used as a synonym for Hell.


#3. SHEOL
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/sheol

Sheol (שאול) is the Hebrew language word denoting the "abode of the dead"; the "underworld", "the common grave of mankind" or "pit". It is also transliterated Sheh-ole, in Strong's Hebrew and Greek Dictionaries and Strong's Concordances. In the Hebrew Bible it is portrayed as a comfortless place beneath the earth, beyond gates, where both the bad and the good, slave and king, pious and wicked must go after death to sleep in silence and oblivion in the dust. In some sources, for example in Deuteronomy 32:22, Sheol seems to be synonymous with the "depths of the earth". Sheol is sometimes compared to the gloomy, twilight afterlife of Hades or Tartarus from Greek mythology. Sheol is the common destination of both the righteous and the unrighteous dead; the righteous Job sees it as his destination (Job 3). In the Book of Job, while Satan is portrayed as tormenting and testing the living, he does not appear to have any particular presidency over Sheol, or to dwell in Sheol.


#4 TARTARUS
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/tartarus

Christianity's Tartarus: In the Bible, 2 Peter 2:4, Tartarus is designated as a section of Hades that the fallen angels who had produced the Nephilim of Genesis 6 were cast into to await judgment by God. It does not figure promeninently into the doctrines of Christianity; many translations of the Bible insert Hell in the place of Tartarus. No other specific use of the word Tartarus is in the Bible, however, Jude 6 describes the abode of the same fallen angels mentioned in 2 Peter as 'total darkness'.


#5 THE LAKE OF FIRE (which means the 2nd death, the lake of fire)

See (The Book of Revelation 20:14) and also Acts Ch. 5, the story of Ananias & Sapphira sinning against the Holy Spirit.

Here we see in The Book of Revelation Ch. 20:14 where "Death & Hades" or both DEATH AND HELL are thrown into the Lake of Fire, THE 2ND DEATH, to be destroyed eternally it says HERE! So, we see that the Lake of Fire is Symbolic for ETERNAL DESTRUCTION. Much the same way Gehenna was for the destruction it caused! Nothing that goes in comes out. Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5 are both eternally destroyed for sinning against the "holy ghost/spirit" for lying to it. So, much like before they were born, they are now, neither knowing anything nor suffering.


There IS NO ETERNAL BURNING HELL. This is YET ANOTHER (OF MANY, MANY) apostasies brought INTO THE EARLY Christian church from pagan origins. As many have wondered, God is NOT so unkind to make someone suffer eternally for "simply" not accepting him or his son's sacrifice. Sooner or later anyone's sins would have been paid in that kind of hell according to a "righteous" God.

Answer 10

If you don't believe, you're condemned.
