When God resurects the dead, they will be judged on what their 'heart' condition is after that point. When a person is brought back to life, he/she will know that they had died, and that their continued existience will depend on whether they choose to obey God from that time foward. btw: Hell literally translated means the common grave of mankind. Any other teaching comes from false religious beliefs, and should be viewed as such.

To be taken into account for their deeds. On judgement day, the book/scroll will be opened. Those angels accompanying you every where record every word you say, every intention you have and act you do. Every soul is given an appointed time to live and God's mercy (not Jesus's mercy as he can give none to anyone) can be sought until the day of death. Then all souls will be raised at an appointed time. We then stand in front of the scales and good and bad deeds be weighed as we were given life and now it's time to take account. You will be asked what you did with your youth, how you earned your livelihood, what you spent it on, what knowledge you gained and what you did with it. On that day, mouths will be sealed and your own body will witness against you. The reason we are not simply left in dust is to see who is worthy of everlasting life and who deserves eternal punishment. If there's no accountability for what we have been given (life) what's the use of living?

So we are all judged equally.. even though in this life today people seem to think they are better than everybody else, superior, higher because of $$ or work statues, relationships or religion, in death we are all the same, we will all die therefore God sees everybody on an equal level, thus is why we will be judged on judgment day... nobody before, no body after.

Because he said he would and he does not lie. People have herd the truth and have been warned. The reason God raised them back to life is thus. He has prepared them a new body which will last for as long as hell is. And he will give them the new body for hell right after the judgement. There punishment shall be to spend there eternity with satan and his demons. They loved and worshiped him on earth. He is going to give them there lord for ever. And all that comes with it.
We on the other hand will be spending our time in heaven.

it sounds like you dont know what is going on in that whole situation. When you die you get judged by your faith which willl determine if you go to heaven or hell. Then you get judged again based on how you lived your life which determines how good you will have it in heaven or how bad you will have it in hell. You cant earn your way to heaven. You can only get there by reconizing your a sinner and trusting the lord Jesus Christ as your savior. Beleving that he died on the cross and rose on the thrid day to pay for our sins.

No! Wrong! God is not an old man in the sky!...it is not supernatural. Are little minds just cant understand things so vast. God is the source in which all in the universe comes from. God is everything. God is in the space between us. God is in the table in front of you. God is everything and everywhere and everyone. The 'self' is illusion. No one knows tru meaning science or organized religion

If you are convicted of a crime. Do you not first go to jail, and then later have court hearing to find out if you are innocent of guilty?

Ask Him.
Isn't there some passage about not being able to know the mind of God? So why ask us?
