If Christ is the judge, and He is God, I would expect his Judgment to entail some reason and not be just Pro Forma. That is what I think. Why would a busy God take time out of his day to have a show trial? Who would that impress?

We're not sure. It does say in the Bible that one has to be saved by Christ in order to go to heaven and not hell, but we don't really know exactly who that is. While we probably should because Christians are supposed to shine the love of Christ, we don't know EXACTLY who is going to hell because we don't know other people's hearts. God does, though.

I think that if there is one christian out there who is sure of who is going to burn in hell, they need to recheck themselves before anyone else. We are not to judge one another for any reason. The way we judge people here on earth is the same way that God will judge us. God is not here to impress anyone or have a show trial. Either you obey His way of Life or you don't. If you chose not to obey you will face the consequences for it. The Bible warns hell to be the punishment. The only one that knows who is going to heaven or hell is God, other than you He is the only one that knows the true condition of your heart or your intentions.

The Christ Jesus you speak of is not the judge but the appropiation GOD made by giving his only begotten son to die on the cross for our sins. Through this(HIS BLOOD) we were set free from sin and each of us had new beginning. GOD is his father, who came to the world in the flesh as the HOLY SPIRIT. At the end of time everyone will be resurrected and will have to answer to the call. GOD looks from above and searches those who believe in him. He is never too busy.

Well, we'd like to think we know, being so close to God, but I think that kind of blinds us, in a way. I'm Catholic, so if you think I'm hating on the Christians, then you're wrong. Why, even the Pope can go to hell, anyone can. Just be nice to others, turn the other check, and you should be ok, also love God, that's important too.

I'm not so sure who's going to hell. What makes you so sure that Christians in general think they know? You don't sound like you don't understand Christianity.
Why don't you ask God why there is a time of judgment when that time comes? BTW, God is timeless.

God doesn't have to prove himself to us. It is when we get to Heaven that we will see him. Are purpose on earth is to spread joy, peace and love. To acknowledge our presence on earth is limited. That we are just a fragile piece of this world. God wants us to love him and trust in him, and then all things that make us feel fragile will not be so scary.
If someone denys God and his exsistance, according to the Bible, says anyone that denys God and doesn't love him will infact go to hell. But........people shouldn't be telling anyone that their going to hell. This isn't our job. We as humans shouldn't be placing judgement. It doesn't make them correct to do that.

Really, because the God of the Bible said so. Our actions and deeds are recorded in His books.

Um... well... Without seeming to pass judgement on anyone (I'd hate to be accused of that), I'd say His Word is pretty specific about who will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.
Last I checked, Hell was reserved for those who refused Christ's gift of salvation.

The Word of God the Bible states that anyone who does not belong to God will not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.
One can have a personal relationship with God, through forgiveness of their sins, genuine repentance, and making Him the leader of one's life.
