Would it stand to reason that that if someone was a Murderer etc, and was resurrected, he/ she cannot be Judged on what they did BEFORE they died??

Mark, you ranting. I am asking whether you will be held accountable for your Sine BEFORE you died. As I read it, you Cannot therefore what is this " Judgement from God about, since you could say you a " New" person should you be resurrected.

First, it is always wise to take a verse in context. This passage starts back in the end of chapter 5 and continues to verse 14 of chapter 6.

What this passage is about is an argument against people who were beginning to believe that, because the grace and forgiveness of God increases to be sufficient for our sins, we should sin more to experience more forgiveness.

When Paul speaks of dyeing in this chapter he speaks of dyeing to our old selves and being given new life with Christ.

He is saying that this change is permanent and no one who has undergone this change will have a desire to continue in a lifestyle of willful sin.

There were people then, just like now who viewed "salvation" as fire insurance. Paul is saying, if your heart has not been changed, than it is likely you are not yet saved.

edit-- You are missing the point of this passage. It is not speaking of physical death at all. It is speaking of the death of the the sin nature that occurs when we accept the atonement of Christ for our sins. This death, burial and resurrection is symbolized by our baptism into the body.

According to Roman 6:7.. one cannot be Judged on passed Sins, so what is this " Judgement from God all about?
( Rom 6:7)..For he who has died has been acquitted from [his] sin.
Answer: Your statement is false.
Romans 6
1What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

2God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

3Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

4Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

5For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

7For he that is dead is freed from sin.

8Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

9Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

10For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

Would it stand to reason that that if someone was a Murderer etc, and was resurrected, he/ she cannot be Judged on what they did BEFORE they died??
Answer:No. When you are Born again Spiritually and Believe that Jesus Christ died for your sins and accept the gift of Salvation Paid for by the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ Your sins are forgiven. If you are saved before the physical death, you die in your sins and are Judged at the Great White Throng Judgement.

Our past, (as well as present and even future), sins have been paid for by the blood of Jesus.
For a believer, there will come a time when our "works" will be judge however.
These are the things we did with God in mind, things we did to serve Him, as well as those times in life where our nature said to do one thing, but the Holy Spirit was telling you do t something else and you went with God instead of listening to yourself.
These things will pass through a kind of fire that will burn away all the pretenses and phoniness and leave only what was done with a pure motive. These things will translate into our "rewards".
Heaven is NOT our reward for serving God, that He does our of pure love and care for us.

That passage is talking about when a man believes and repents. He is explaining being born again as spoken of by Jesus. When you repent and are baptised then the old sinner man dies and all you sins are covered. When Christains are judged our sins will be blotted out and we will be Judged for our works for Christ. The unbeleiver will ne resurrected to be judged by his sins

There are two different judgements.
The first is for those who have given their lives to Christ and been forgiven.
They will be taken into Heaven and be judged on their works here on earth so they can be rewarded accordingly.
The other judgement is for those who heard the word of God but spurned it.

Not everybody repents of passed sins. And if someone commits murder, then says he is sorry, would you let him get away with it? Oh, thats OK, just dont do it again... A little lie is much easier to forgive. But God is the judge, not us.

Well I'm really not sure but i think its about one person cannot be judged on sins he did in the passed that he had prayed for forgiveness and was forgiven.

Yes, once a person is in Christ, he does not have to answer for his sin, since Christ took them on himself. God's judgement is reserved for those who are ungodly, who are not in Christ. Their final judgement is the Great White Throne judgement.

Your miss quoting Scripture... What that verse is saying is. People who are already DEAD have already been judged, so he that is dead has no sin, because he cannot sin anymore.
