I'm an atheist, so of course I don't think that day will ever come. But since YOU think it will come, this should be considered a valid question.
Do you think god is going to fall for your spin, or does he already know exactly what he meant and how you twist it to suit your desires?

if god existed in the way that people seem to think, there's no point in trying to explain anything. Isn't he All Knowing or something?

I truthfully can - John 3:sixteen starts via asserting that God so enjoyed the international that......, and then there's a situation quickly on the story end...whosoever will.... worry with unconditional doctrine is that Scripture has to grow to be twisted as a manner to place across the concept. that's comparable with 'God loves each and every person', properly how approximately God hating Esau? (Romans 9:13). Then there is the annihilation of the depraved the two interior the previous (Deuteronomy 7:24-26), and interior the destiny (Revelation 14:19,20) - of direction some could like to call that act of God unconditional love! Refusal to settle for what perchance we don't locate comfortable approximately God isn't something in need of silly. Why could we ask your self that the heathen rages, and has no worry of God, neither whilst they curse Him, His Son, or blaspheme Holy Spirit, or rant at, falsely accuse, and persecute God's infants (via the way, a individual in priestly apparel does not make him/her one in all God's infants - their visual allure in simple terms says that to the gang. The fruit determines which tree that's from.

Let me get this straight . . . you don't believe in God, but ask about the judgment you don't believe will happen?
You don't believe the scriptures, but believe people twist and spin the scriptures you don't believe.
Logically, there is no real response to your 'question.' A sincere response can only be met with scorn, because you don't believe the basis of the reasoning behind the response.
A response you might accept, and agree with, will probably not believe the scriptures either, and will therefore not accurately be a response to how you framed the question.
Bravo, you frame a 'question' within the context of a bias, and a judgment, and eliminate the prospect of a sincere response.
You ought to be working in the White House.

At Judgment God already knows what man did with His word.
No explaining will be heard. There is something about being before God that we see everything wrong with us and there is plenty. God reveals who we are just by being in His presence. The presence of God speeds up the purifying and refining process of the saved and lays out what must still be dealt with right in front of us. In God's presence we change.
Psalm 17, is a prayer of David but helps to explain that God already knows and no explaining is necessary.

God may not care what our spin was. He cares only that we repented and put our faith in Him. Now Christians will have to be accountable for what they did from that point. They will have to be accountable for all those they led astray and turned from when they were looking for help. They won't be turned from heaven, but God has promised rewards in Heaven, for all those who served Him here. Me personally I don't want to be shown the room full of His gifts that I won't receive because I didn't follow Him and HIS WILL. That is why it doesn't matter what church you go to, only that your eyes and ears are on His will. Non believers should learn about Christ and follow him not churches. People are imperfect and always think they know what is Gods will and most of them don't even bother to spend enough time learning about Christ or spending time with Him they just follow some other persons view of it.

If I twisted it to suit my desires, am afraid I wouldn't be living as a Christian. God knows my heart, and if I am erring, He gently nudges me back and points out my shortcomings and believe it or not, provides me with scripture to back it. It is an on-going learning process. Of one thing I'm sure; He loves all of us and wants what is best for all mankind. Believe it if you dare, and I do!

the christian do indeed spin the information.... It is quite similar to George W Bush... saying that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction, yet the proof does not exist... That the US has free speech, yet look at the example of the Dixie Chicks and the level of censorship that arises in news in music... it's not violence they seek to censor, it's actual free speech... ex: Elvis the Beatles their music called the devil's music... then we see that christians are usually if not always behind censorship... look at the laws. those are always heavily influenced by christianity.... they still swear on a bible in court... that's like swearing on a pack of lies that they will not lie... Even here on Yahoo... we are constantly censored, violation notices and they stalk us till our accounts are suspended... Here are a couple of warnings the christians like to conveniently forget...
Live by the law die by the law... Judge not lest ye be judged... as Nature and Earth become more balanced what the christians did to the pagans shall be done to them... and through out history they annialated the pagans into extinction... also there is no life after death so they will be no more.
Armageddon is the end of religion on earth... that should be good news but they project it as bad news...
The bible does condemn religion, yet they all practice one.
The bible also says satan will call himself god of earth... only in religions do they call on god...
religons are spiritual abuse... when we leave religions and our spirit heals and links to life on earth and nature... because this is a huge spirit it gets us thinking god again... and then we slip on back into religion...
Also, what is called satan cannot exist without blind faith...that is why religions is his only power.. I don't know if you ever noticed but christians are trying to catagorize even Atheist as a religion, they do that with everyone... Atheist by it's definition is one not beleiving in god or religion so that shows the patterns of the past of any human getting free of religion and being shoved into another version of religion... You are right the christians spin... but truth endures beyond the human race.

Good thing I don't have a "spin" on it since I have the teaching, tradition, and authority of the Catholic Church behind my interpretation of Scripture.
I'm interested to see how the Protestants will explain the fact that they can all read the Bible and all come up with different "spins" absent of any authority.

Yes there are alot of misconceptions concerning the way the Bible is translated. However as a spiritual Christian I know there is only one true way to interpret the Bible and that is through the Holy Spirit. Any other way is guaranteed to lead to huge misconceptions and confusion.

When I stand before GOD, I have only one explanation for everything. Jesus finished work on the cross. If that is not enough then whatever I have done or said will surely fall short of that.

I am studying Hebrew and Greek in order to properly understand it as it was written. I will talk to God for thousands of years about the greatness of His scriptures.
