Re: Heaven and Hell

if so, that sucks BIGGIE-time for him.

This thread reminds me of the Megadeth song "Dread and the Fugitive Mind" ....in it he says :
"What if I do get caught? What if there is no judgement?
If I'm right I lose nothing, If you're right I lose it all.
I ought to get caught, because I'm doing something wicked.
I'm guilty, haunted by my fears and the only consequences are Dread and the Fugitive Mind."

What I see in this, is evidence to the theory of "Heaven and Hell are right here on earth" Regardless of his eternal resting place, the person in this song is in agony over what they've done. They know full well that their evil actions demand an accounting. They are paying for their sins now, and will for all eternity.
In reality, its far worse. On God's scales of absolute justice, if you break any part of the law, you are as guilty as breaking all of it. The law was not given to save us, but to show us that we need a savior. The hypothetical "good person that is wrongfully sent to hell" scenario is just that....hypothetical. Our measure of a good person is far more forgiving than God's. We would no doubt be willing to overlook certain mistakes, personality traits and attitudes in light of the "bigger picture". On God's scales of absolute justice, if you break any part of the law, you are as guilty as breaking all of it.

Now, if anyone chooses to accept the sacrifice that Jesus Christ made for him, he can be free from the guilt and fear. Knowing that Christ's payment for sin covers all transgressions past, present and future. I believe that freedom and peace right-here-right-now is a far more relevant point of discussion than eternity.
