Survival

InChrist

If as the biblical scriptures say Jesus will return to judge sin and evil on the earth who will be able to survive?


And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders,the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!
For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?” Revelation 6:15-17

Don't worry, I've never heard of this happening but if it's like the rapture or anything it's not going to happen :D

I don't cower. Doesn't matter to me if it costs me my life. I expect to die anyway. Might as well die with dignity.

I agree.
I believe the angels won't allow a bent knee anyway.

Judgment happens. Heaven is a place of peace and that peace is guarded.
If you say well enough and do so ...fine....good....you may follow.

If your word and deed are less than suitable they will leave you wherever you fell.

Attempt to pursue would be met by the sword.

So I suspect.

As for that bent knee.....before the Creator....only.

Well to me, the concept of judging sin and evil is diametrically opposed to the concept of judging people, or souls.

I see such a concept as a point in which "sin" and "evil" are separated from the person, where all fault and human error are left by the way-side -- and only the authentic self remains.

This post is all just my personal opinion.

I do not look at this "event" as meaning that some people will be chosen, and others are not. I look at it as a point where what is false in us (not really real, like ego-stuff)
drops away.

So, I see it as impending doom for all the stuff we made up about ourselves and others, all the stuff whether it was what we did or what was done to us that we may have mistakenly used as a false identity, as though what happens to or through us actually changes the underlying essence of who we are -- doom for the "false selves" portion in each of us -- not doom for souls that wish to be in the presence of "God", but got the details wrong somehow, or didn't believe someone else's interpretation of what God wants or expects from people.

Some would say hell's burning flames are really just the denial of the ultimate love in us.
It's not the love that burns us. It's us that burns us.


Some wouldn't say that.
