Simple , the last judgment is deferred until after we die, because while we are alive, we have the free will to repent our sins, and turn our lives around. Are you really that anxious to be judged that you can't wait?

Hey thats a good question. God is going to Judge us true indeed and I believe he will know those who are good and evil. But don't you think we would want to know what we are judged with and I believe God will tell us when that day comes. And reward us according to what we have done.
"Happy are those who wash their robes clean and so have the right to eat the fruit from the tree of life, and to go through the gates into the city. But outside the city are the perverts and those who practice magic, the immoral and the murderers, those who worship idols, and those who are liars, both in words and deeds,"

Many philosophers say this: That human unfastened will and God's ability of Omnipotence are under no circumstances like minded and the two can not exist interior the comparable universe. If unfastened Will is incredibly unfastened our possibilities can no longer have already been desperate via destiny. The destiny of the universe is for this reason as much as us, and not probably predictable even via god. Philosophers have discovered a sprint bit a loophole in this, albeit a wierd one. -- it is that if for each choise we make 2 (or greater) universes are created, one for if we had made on selection, one for if we had made the different. One universe for in case you had desperate to have a drunken taking photos spree interior the Vatican, one for in case you desperate to sit down down at abode and watch television. God can understand all of those universes and we are able to nonetheless have unfastened will - in a fashion. If ... on the different hand God is conscious each and every thing and we've not got unfastened will there is yet another bugger of a difficulty - it is that judgement is probably no longer achieveable. think of roughly it this way... in case you bypass on a taking photos spree on the Vatican on Tuesday (whilst teenagers, nuns and pregnant women human beings get in unfastened) yet you DONT have unfastened will then replaced into it your fault? how are you able to blame an act one somebody in the event that they have not got unfastened will? it incredibly is like calling a rockslide evil for crushing some autos. in case you have been fated to do something YOU did no longer do it - your undesirable upbringing, drug intake, manic depressive chemical ideas imbalance would properly be blamed yet no longer YOU. you do not have unfastened will and for that reason do issues basically because of the fact outdoors forces are pushing and pulling you. yerr. So... except god can get around logic by some ability - which via the way the pope says he can no longer - NO! he can no longer choose us on the day whilst the ineffective upward push toddler! - additionally - conundrum creaps me out. whew.

Well, there is no place in the bible that says, “God knows everything you are going to do.” In fact if you read the story about Cain and Abel:
“In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. But Abel brought the fat, fatlings, or milk as Josephus has it (the possible renderings of the consonantal Hebrew) from the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast. Then the Lord said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it." Now Cain said to his brother Abel, "Let's go out to the field." And while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him." - Genesis 4:3-8
The story continues with God approaching Cain asking about Abel's whereabouts. In a response that has become a well-known saying, Cain answers, "Am I my brother's keeper?"
Finally, seeing through Cain's deception, as "the voice of [Abel's] blood is screaming to [God] from the ground", God curses Cain to wander the earth. Cain is overwhelmed by this and appeals in fear of being killed by other men, and so God places a mark on Cain so that he would not be killed.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abel
We see that God did not know about Abel’s murder until he questioned Cain and heard Abel’s blood calling out to him.
That is the sin of free will. God has a plan but he does not know the builders, the actors, or the players until it happens. Christ knew that he was going to be betrayed but not by whom until its passing.

God knows the future, we don't. So His judgment isn't for Him to know but for us to know where our eternal future will be.
