Where do you think you would go. JOHN 3:3 SAYS " You must be born again or you can't even see the Kingdom of God." With that being the basic premess would that cause one to think ?" Since we are to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling."

Being born again,to me means to me puttin away the old and accepting Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.Each time I think about the horrible death on the cross,I know without a doubt, about my salvation.The thief who said We deserve our fate,but this Man has done nothing. Jesus answered This day you will be in Paradise. To those who nailed Him to the cross,Father forgive them for they know not what they do.

Yes, this should cause one to think! Don't listen to a word "melty blood" says. He won't be "spending the first few days mingling with his buddies" that's for sure. He'll be tortured in a real hell where there will be an actual burning and the smell will be as terrible as the burning. He will be tortured night and day by demons that we can't even comprehend. I hope he changes his mind. One will not have another chance of redemption once there.
Since I know that I have the salvation of Jesus Christ, I know that when I face the one true Judge I will not be condemned to hell but rather a mansion in heaven that He is preparing for me. Are you ready too?

Yep. I know I'll face Him on my Judgment Day.
By the way...read a little further in John 3...like verses 16 and 17:
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that wosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
"For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world, through Him might be saved"
Hardly are we to "work out our own salvation".
Oh. The verses are quoted from the old-fashioned King James Version.

Cool! Right now!?! I'm a coming Daddy!
Fear doesn't mean what it used to when they first translated the Good Book. It meant Awe. For example: So awestruck that they shook with excitement. Quakers got their name because during worship they were so overcome with awe that they would shake/quake/tremble. You may have seen some Christians with their hands raised and pretty soon their hands start to shake. No? How about a puppy that was to glad to see it's master that it shook all over. OK, bad example, He thinks of us as His children, NOT His pets.
He loves us soooo much that He gave His life for us. He doesn't want us to hide with fear and trembling like some captured enemy thrown in a prison, working out their salvation through slave labor. He wants us to come to Him with love and excitement, so overcome with awe that we tremble. That Joy in His presence is our salvation from darkness.
Matthew 19:14 - Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
But then you knew that. Sorry, I failed to see the Joy of the Lord in your question. Nehemiah 8:10 ...the joy of the LORD is your strength.

Ok whoever said God did a crappy job well you are just saying that you are a horrible thing did you ever think about that. And if the judgment day were to come right now then i would be judged by Yahweh he would ask me about all my sins Jesus would step in and tel Him that its ok and that He died for me and i accepted his forgiveness then i would spend the rest of eternity with God cant get much better that that

seriously, did you ever think that the people who wrote that were wondering about it like anyone else and came up with that line? Does it seem like something that couldn't be thought of by a human? Not to me.
That being said, it's funny that the only convincing case for christianity is that it would be really scary to face the christian god without having chosen to believe what he dictated through people a long time ago. That just doesn't add up to Universal Truth to me.
Fear-Monger.

to be born again requires unlearning things like hatred and anger and vindictive behavior in general . go to the store and buy a pack of gum and you will be judged by people , that is the kind of judgment you are speaking of . when god judges you he shows you what HE sees , and that is beyond our current comprehension level . we are still trying to see who can have the biggest numbers in our own bank account , the way we judge ourselves and each other can be pretty ridiculous .

you have taken purely between the achievable purposes of the unique Greek word that replaced into rendered as "with" by the translators... and your reason seems to be the comparable as adherents of "trinity" gobbledygook - attempting to stretch the word to seem to describe 2 "persons" dealing with one yet another. that could be a FAILURE, by using fact:~ a million.. God does not have a "face" ... he's Spirit without variety. 2.. "word" is the English rendering of the Greek "trademarks".. and trademarks skill: the suggestions / plan / reason of God. ... suggestions, plan, and reason have not have been given any "face" the two. God's plan, and destiny reason, replaced into to return to us incarnate. and this fulfilled Psalm 2:7~ "the LORD has reported to me, you're my Son, in the present day I even have begotten you." The bible evidently states (in John a million:14) that the "word" (or trademarks = suggestions/plan/reason of God) grew to grow to be flesh and dwelt between us... pertaining to the delivery of Jesus. This replaced into while the Son began - parallel to Galatians 4:4 "..while the fullness of the time had come, God despatched forth His Son, born of a woman, born below the regulation." (not beforehand THE regulation) This replaced right into a destiny experience on the time while the LORD made a covenant with King David (2 Samuel 12-17) ... "while your days are fulfilled and you relax along with your fathers, i will set up your seed once you, who will come out of your physique, and that i will set up His kingdom ... i would be His Father, and He would be my Son ..." The fulfillment of those prophecies shown in Hebrews a million:5 The concept of God's Son pre-present day the introduction in nonsense. He replaced into BEGOTTEN .... of one Father and one mom, Mary, who's excluded in the fake doctrine of a pre-present day Son.

The real God judges no one.
The made up God would if it existed but luck for us it doesn't.

Why do people assume that all will be revealed when we die? If god choose to play hide-and-seek in this life, why not in the next one? Who EVER has given ANY reason to think that he stops when we are dead? And yet it something one keeps hearing all the time. It makes NO sense.
