What is God’s Judgement?
Post #1If one disagrees with the Light, then is he still in the Light? And if one disagrees with the Light by who’s judgement is that disagreement? Therefore, wouldn’t that place one in darkness?

Post #3Who or what do you define as "Light"? "Truth"? I'm guessing, (and correct me if I'm mistaken), that you mean Jesus and/or the Bible?.DPMartin wrote: If one disagrees with the Light, then is he still in the Light?

And do you equate "Light" with your interpretation of Jesus or the Bible?
Other religions and philosophies also promote "enlightenment". If someone rejects their ways, do those people walk in darkness?
Is darkness mere ignorance, or is it actual evil?
My theological positions:
-God created us in His image, not the other way around.
-The Bible is redeemed by it's good parts.
-Pure monotheism, simple repentance.
-YHVH is LORD
-The real Jesus is not God, the real YHVH is not a monster.
-Eternal life is a gift from the Living God.
-Keep the Commandments, keep your salvation.
-I have accepted YHVH as my Heavenly Father, LORD and Savior.
I am inspired by Jesus to worship none but YHVH, and to serve only Him.

Yes. Even those judged as wicked and sentenced to die by God is to preserve life. Matthew 24:22 even says that if God didn't step in with Armageddon to cut short the 'Great Tribulation' no one would survive. Take a tree for example. If a person has to remove diseased branches to save the tree's life, that is good judgement. Yet for humans we might destroy healthy parts of the limb to save the tree. God on the other hand can destroy only the parts of the limb that are diseased. That's how good He is at judging. Human...not so much. Our judgement is flawed and yes, I guess one could say human judgement eventually leads to death of 'the whole tree'. We humans sometimes judge whole races, sects, or religions to be exterminated. The holocaust comes to mind as an example of bad judgement. Mankind has the power right now to destroy itself many times over. If there was no judgement but man's, eventually a bad judgement call would kill everyone on the planet. Makes me think of the movie Crimson Tide.DPMartin wrote: therefore one could say God's Judgement is Life, correct? and any other judgement results in death.

na its as simple as your description of no gray area.
for example Adam and Eve went by their own judgement and the result is death. doesn't matter what the condemned experience while they await execution as a result of their own judgement.
God gave Life and His Judgement is Life, any other isn't life. if a soul come to the Lord Jesus to be saved it doesn't matter their past because God's Judgement is Life.
