I honestly have no f#ckin idea where I'm going in the afterlife. I've committed many sins but I confess my sins and try to make up for it with good deeds. My sins and my good deeds balance each other out so would God let me plead my case if it came to that?

Good deeds dont save you;Faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour will save you.
And you can try and plead your case all you want;but God know every thing you've done,said,and havnt done or said;so might as well save your breathe.
Accept Christ as Lord and Saviour and you'll be alright.

Er, I dont know if you are talking about the right thing...
When the world comes to an end and Jesus comes down to "judge" everyone - he will seperate the people into two groups - the people who did good deeds and helped out the poor, the sick, and so on... and the people who didnt. - that is somewhat of what is supposed to go on when the world ends. God will look at your deeds - what you have already done
If you are talking about being judged by God - then you are asking a totally different question. It depends on what you believe exactly - If you believe in an all-forgiving God - then repentence and good deeds - according to catholicism - is enough to save you - if you are truely sorry. Then again, the other christian religions - I believe Lutheranism - do not believe that you can be saved by good deeds - it is your faith alone that will save you. It all depends on what you believe because so much of our faith is [I dont want to say "made up"...but I can think of a better word] made up based on what people think
I dont believe that it will "balance out" exactly - if you are truely sorry and you do repent you should be forgiven - depending on what you believe in - I dont think that sin and repentance can be balanced....

Yes, i believe i would. I mean, everyone commits sin's at some point. even people who claim not to, actually do. remember that people who do not tolerate people of other religions or ways of life do not follow the command 'love your neighbour as you love yourself' (which a lot of religious people seem to do). also, when someone says something like 'you're going to hell' or 'i condemn you to hell', well i think that's a sin. i do not believe any Human has the power or the right to condemn another to hell. as long as you try to live a good, honest life, which i try to (everyone makes mistakes), then i think god will forgive any sins you committed that you feel bad about.

By that time, your case had already been pleaded, as God knows what is in your heart. You cannot argue against your own nature. You will be informed of the judgment, just as the fallen angels were. Then you will simply cease to exist, even in the minds of those who live.

I would assume that God will give everyone a chance to defend themselves...but somethings youve done you may not be able to defend with any sense...
in the event that you killed a man in anger lets say...an innocent man at that..
what will your defense be? Oh I had to do it cause he made me so mad? He just insulted me and I couldnt help myself?
and God will ask you: did you have no choice? couldnt you have controlled yourself?
what will you say but remain silent...
so you can pretty much judge the basic ruling on your actions by using some common sense...and trust your gut insticts at it.

My biggest take on christianity is that it's so not just , how can a murderer who just believe in jesus pbuh go to heaven, while a good man like you who cares about doing good deeds are EQUAL.
God is much more Just, God require us to work and do good, not just through meaningless words of believe ...
NOTHING is freeeeee

That dot is a troll in conceal he/she basically is calling for ability to insult. Zubayr you will possibly be able to desire to be conscious of greater beneficial useful, i actually thought you learnt fairly from me. it fairly is largely so incorrect. @ Elda, it fairly is gloomy that you obtain harm, i be conscious of many harsh subjects have been reported, yet truthfully you're none of them astounding...? So Insha'Allah do now not enable it drag you down. i'm now not in a position to have confidence how some human beings %. to bypass with their desires fairly than adhering to what Allah (swt) has reported, with the aid of employing that i propose leaving unfavourable speech and striving for righteousness. might desire to Allah (swt) be with you (ameen).

if you haven't believed in Christ as your savior, then no, you can't plead your case. no amount of good deeds will get you to heaven. that's what makes grace so cool. wer don't have to make it to heaven on good deeds.

absolutely not. Your understanding of salvation is misunderstood. Try to read leviticus to understand the process of confession and atonement.
