hell. Then they tell you that when Jesus makes his second coming he will judge the living and the DEAD. Does this mean that those who have already been judged at death and comitted to hell will get a second chance?

There are a lot of statements that do not make sense, but remember Jesus' mission was not to just heal bodies, but to raise consciousness to the apprehension and understanding that leads into all truth. This is the way I see it. The first coming of Jesus is when thought hears of Christ, and turns to it to find what it needs. The second coming is the understanding of Christ, even before this age is finished. Judgment comes hourly, and need not wait until the death seems to be real.
Life is eternal, but so long as evil seems real and the love of sin remain, so also death comes for the sinner. When the sinner is silenced, and there is no more witness of evil, then the final judgment will come, eternal life, never to be touched by lies again.

It doesn't make sense. How could the dead be judged any differently the second time? It's not like they could make up for their sins in hell.

1. Christians have passed from this judgment. See Romans 8:1 onward.
2. The dead will be resurrected to life and judged. Not much detail is given, and much is speculation.

"So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad." 2 Corinthians 5:9-10
"According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep." 1 Thessalonians 4:15

Jesus said " I judge no man" He also said "my judgment is just"
Jesus has authority over all SPIRITS, the just and unjust. Believing in Jesus is to do all the things he commanded us to do. He does not want "lip service"

No, sorry. After you die it's too late to accept Christ the only acception to that is possibly people who were born before Christ was born.

Wrong! There are two 'books', one judges your actions, and the other judges if you accepted the Messiah, Christ for payment of your sins.

What "Christians" are YOU listening to?
PLEASE! Read your Bible.
Sin was taken care of on the cross of Jesus.
The real question is whether your life is hidden in Him, or if you are just out there on your own.

When someone dies, it's either Heaven or Hell.
There are no second chances after death.
What path will you choose?
