From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead:


Judging is a Satanic agenda that originates in the beginning of the Bible as Satan's desire for us to differentiate between good and evil in the Garden of Eden.

In other words, Jesus doesn't judge, we judge ourselves only.


Before Adam and Eve experienced sin and it's effect, they had knowledge of Good, all that they had done before this was good, and agreeable, therefore they bore good fruit, they thought good things.
The bible says that we shall eat the fruit of our works. they walked with God, two can't walk together unless they agree to do so.
God told Adam not to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, otherwise Adam would die. Experience brings forth knowledge, even Einstein thought so.

Adam and Eve did experience good thoughts, they did good works but they would have to commit an evil act, disobedience in order to have knowledge of it. They were told not to not to eat of it nor even touch it. Psalm 128:2 says, You will eat the fruit of your labor. They labored/acted and ate/ experienced, therefore gained knowledge of their act and their robes of righteousness were were gone and they were naked and ashamed.

If anyone has a conscience, they can differentiate between good and evil, and their CHOICES to live either way DETERMINES which of these is more understood. Jesus understands that what you feed will grow, feed truth with more truth and it will grow, feed lies with more lies and the lies will grow. If you feed yourself with truths mixed with lies you put a fly in the ointment. Jesus said to beware of the yeast of the pharisees and saduccees because they were teaching things that were not true, and a little leaven leavens the whole lump. This is the reason that the world's religions ultimately stinks.
Jesus called our ability to reason and act upon our understanding, a light that enables us to do things the right way. Children are born without sin, babies do not know sin, Adam and Eve were not little children when they were given instructions to take care of the garden and not to mess with the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Children can either grow accustomed to doing evil, or they can be trained in the way they should go, so that when they are older they will never depart from it. In any case we are all responsible for the things we do and say, each to ourselves and to one another because we affect one another. Jesus said that we either gather hearts for Him or scatter them abroad, there is no third mode of existence for us. We will either convey the truth to one another through our lives words and actions, or we can have our conscience whither up and die to the point of sociopathy and sadism.
God, the one who created and set the standards for us, understood the difference between good and evil before he made Adam and Eve to take care of the Garden of Eden. When we speak things that are untrue, we go against the Truth. When we are decieved into believing that which is not true, ultimately we will act upon that belief, thus the propagation from the father of all lies persists. Those who do not gather for God, scatter abroad.

I cannot prove it to be true, but in the meantime, it's a pretty damn good way to live.

The idea that an individual can find God is terribly self-centered. It is like a wave thinking it can find the sea.
