Are Men Judged at Death?

1. How far back in this world’s history do we find the judgment spoken of?

“Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the Lord, because He cometh to judge the earth,” I Chronicles 16:33.

2. Is there a time to judge the righteous and the wicked?

“ I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work,” Ecclesiastes 3:17.

3. Has God appointed a day in which to judge the world?

“Because He [God] hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness,” Acts 17:31.

4. Was the judgment yet future in Paul’s day, A. D. 60?

“And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come,” Acts 24:25.

5. Since the judgment was future in Paul’s day, at what time will it be?

“I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, Who shall judge the quick (living) and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom,” II Timothy 4:1.

NOTE: This is a plain statement, testifying to the fact, that the judgment takes place at Christ’s second coming, and not at death, as is commonly taught by modern teachers. As all know, that Christ’s second coming is in the future, so all should know that the judgment is also future. Another fact is, that, “the living know that they shall die, but the dead know not any thing,” Ecclesiastes 9:5. So it would be impossible for them to have been judged at death and come on down to this time, not knowing anything about it.

6. Was the revelator given a glimpse of the coming judgment?

“And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books,” Revelation 20:12.

7. At this time, how complete will the resurrection be?

“And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell [margin, the grave] delivered up the dead which were in them,” Revelation 20:13.

8. After the sea and the grave give up their dead, then what takes place?
“And they were judged every man according to their works,” Revelation 20:13

9. How old is the doctrine of Christ’s coming, and the judgment?

“And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment upon all,” Jude 14, 15.

10. Who must appear in the judgment?

“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that everyone may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad,” II Corinthians 5:10.

11. How does the Apostle Peter speak of the judgment?

“The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished,” II Peter 2:9.

12. What condition will be in the world at the judgment day?

“And the nations were angry, and Thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged,” Revelation 11:18.

13. When will the separation of righteous and wicked take place?

“When the Son of man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory: and before Him shall be gathered all nations: And He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats,” Matthew 25:31, 32.

14. In this judgment, what work will be brought up?

“For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil,” Ecclesiastes 12:14.

Terms & Conditions

Introduction: Each group member that joins agrees to abide by and defend the guiding principles shared below. We do this in order to make everyone feel welcome, but in particular, to level the playing field. When the playing field is uneven, the road tends to be bumpy and steep. The group was created specifically to create an environment where everyone can be free to

a) Debate spiritual issues of concern,
b) Share own knowledge
c) Learn from others.

We do this fully aware that some of us do not have such opportunities in the churches or congregations they come from. In fact most churches or congregations avoid teaching the Scriptures and worse, some teach wrong doctrines.

In short, here are the core principles by which members are expected to abide, defend and to promote:
1. Members join in their individual and private capacity, i.e. no one may represent their church or assembly.

2. No member may use his/her title to intimidate/bully or impose views on others – the idea is to share knowledge, not to tell others what to know or think.

3. None of the members claim to be experts on religious or any topic discussed on this platform. We aim to share the little we know for the mutual benefit of everyone.

4. All members are expected to participate actively so that there is joint ownership of the outcomes of the discussions.

5. No member may discriminate against any other member on any grounds, including race, gender, age, religion, nationality, etc.

6. Members have the right to propose a topic or ask questions. However, questions must be relevant to the topic being discussed at the time. New topics should only be proposed when the current topic is formally closed or has become stagnant.

7. Members accept to be addressed as brother or sister without any intention to disrespect anyone. Mutual respect is expected and implied in all interactions in this platform.

8. Membership in this group is open to everyone irrespective of the denomination, race, gender, age, nationality, title, etc.

9. Members accept that, from time-to-time, we may need to call one another to order should members digress from the topic or create other problems. This is necessary so that we maintain order and ensure progress in line with the mandate of the group.

10. Members who deliberately undermine the group principles and show no repentance after attempts to correct them maybe sanctioned by the group administrator by way of suspension or permanent expulsion from the group.

11. Given that this is an international platform, members are requested to use and stick to English as language for the purposes of discussions and questions.

12. From Friday evening until Monday evening, the group takes a break from discussing formal topics. In this time, members are free to share none topical issues of common interest, e.g. messages, warnings, information of common interest, etc.

13. No internal issues that are specific to a particular church or congregation may be shared, e.g. members from a particular church or congregation discussing issues that are not of common interest to the group unless it’s an open invite to everyone the group in general. Otherwise, such issues should be handled offline between the individuals involved.

14. Although not desirable for the group, members are free to peacefully exit the group at any point in time when they feel like doing so.

15. The group principles are subject to review from time-to-time through the group administrator.
