Christians: How is God going to judge the nations at Judgment day?

Question

WHen he judges America will I be punished too? I dont really understand.

Answer 1

Read Matthew chapter 25:31 and following.

But you should be more concerned with your individual meeting with Jesus. Is He friend or foe?

Decide now, while there's still time.
After your last breath, your decision is sealed.
He will either say "Welcome Home" or "Depart from Me"

It's true.

Answer 2

There are two separate judgments. Believers are judged at the Judgment Seat of Christ (Romans 14:10-12). This judgment does not determine salvation, but rather is when believers must give an account of their lives to Christ. Believers are rewarded based on how faithfully they served Christ (1 Corinthians 9:4-27; 2 Timothy 2:5). The things we will likely be judged on is how well we obeyed the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20), how victorious we were over sin (Romans 6:1-4), how well we controlled our tongue (James 3:1-9), etc. We will have to give an account for our actions, Romans 14:12 declares, “So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.” Unbelievers are judged at the Great White Throne Judgment (Revelation 20:11-15). This judgment does not determine salvation either. Everyone at the Great White Throne is an unbeliever and is therefore already doomed to the lake of fire.

Answer 3

We will each be judged person by person because that's what's fair. We will be judged by what our status or station in life was and what we did with what we had, which is also fair. So if I live as a poor person in some "third world" country, or if I live the life of a person in America. I will be judged by the assets I had as a person that got to live the life I lived and how I used those assets for good or evil. I will also be judged based on what I accepted within my own country's general standards, and if I stood up for things my country represented herself as for good within the world. And if I rejected the things my country stood for (in general) in the world if it was something bad. But like others are saying, we will be mostly judged on our relationships with other people and God Himself. For example, if we live in a "Christian" nation and I choose to fill all my freedom with pornography or some other moral abuse, it's like throwing the gift of freedom back in God's face. When some people in other countries would die just to be able to sit in a country without a veil on and not fearing death. In other words, we'll be judged fairly according to whatever freedoms and whatever limits we had imposed on us in this life. Including those that happened by living in whatever country we lived in. As far as when God judges America will you be punished, too? No, not necessarily. What I mean is, righteousness escapes the need for "punishment'. God is always FAIR. If you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear. If you've done some things wrong, you will be punished fairly. But God isn't into senseless punishing that you don't deserve. So you won't be punished because of what your government did. But you'd be punished if you chose to do nothing if you knew about something unjust happening. But only to a degree that's fair. Even if a nation suffers a national disaster or even a war we should remember that death ISN'T a punishment. It is a doorway to eternity, where our trials are over. So sometimes innocent people die, but God is there with heaven waiting for them. And we should never fear as long as we have tried within our means to live a decent, fair life. Even if we've made mistakes as long as we've kept trying, we'll find that we have the most EVEN, FAIR, KIND JUDGE in all the Universe! Don't worry!

Answer 4

That is a good question. We will be judged on an individual basis, yet as a nation as well. Perhaps how we voted as a nation will reflect on our own judgment. Did we agree with abandoning Israel? Did we vote to watch over her?
However, first we must realize that judgment on whether someone goes into Gehenna or not is a black and white issue. Either you are in the Book of Life, or you are not. Now there is hints in the Bible that there are degrees of hell based on a number of factors. So this is a toughy in which I see no clear answers. Good question.

Answer 5

There is nothing to understand. Does God really care what the F#CK country you live in?

Judgment day will be how future generations judge us and our actions. God isn't going to show up, so let's take care of ourselves eh?

Answer 6

All will be accountable for every idle word that comes out of their mouths. We're all going to be held accountable for every word we say and every deed we do. He won't judge "America" as a country but He'll judge each individual according to their actions, deeds, thoughts, and words.

Answer 7

It's impossible to say for certain, as revelations, the book that speaks most about judgment day, is full of symbology and metaphors.
Personally though, I believe judgment day occurs for us every time we make a decision... mini-armageddons... those choices define us and our spiritual direction.

Answer 8

He will judge whether you have Acceped His son or not. He will judge all the nations.
