Can I meet your God in person?

If not,why not?

EstherRose

One day you will meet God. (Revelation)

Nic Hautamaki

any christian I know will say "sure you can, just be a good christian, and then die, and you'll get to meet God"

Revelation 20
11Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. ...12And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. .... The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. ...each person was judged according to what he had done. ... The lake of fire is the second death. 15If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

You'll get to see Jesus/God just before eternal separation and being thrown into the lake of fire/hell

Rhaedas

So according to Revelation, you're judged on deeds, not belief? Then I guess it depends on which chapter in the bible is more accurate as to whether atheists are damned or saveable.

As for meeting god...do we get like a last question/answer session? You know, like a last request thing? Seems only fair, since we'll be eternally damned afterward. I'd have a lot of questions for him...

Or would he see any remark at all a contempt of court, and make our punishment worse?

(Mat 24:34 NRSV) Truly I tell you, *this generation will not pass away* until all these things have taken place.

(do not try to explain away the word generation,I checked my concordence and as we understand the word generation.This word generation is the best and closest translation to the original text)

(Their generation did pass away, but the world didn't end)

I do not think so unless those things already happened and jesus is already here.

I would think God would make an appearance at the "get aquainted" social just before final judgement begins...

NOBODY expects the Infidel Inquisition! Our question Christians can't answer is "what evidence is there for god"! "What evidence" and "Can I meet him?" Our two questions Christians can't answer are "What evidence?", "Can I meet him?," and "Why not?". Oh, um, our three questions are "What evidence?", "Can I meet him?", "Why not?" and "Why is there such a fanatical devotion to the church?" Ok, our four.. no, among our many questions.. yes, that's it! Among our many questions... I'll come in again.

Magus55

You are judged based on your deeds, which determines your rewards in Heaven ( and possibily the level of punishment in Hell), but you are saved by faith, or condemned with it. In other words, if you aren't saved, and reject Jesus - you will be judged by your deeds and sent to the Lake of Fire, if you are saved, you will be judged and that will determine rewards (Crowns) in Heaven.

Yeah, I know I need a GOLD road(what is it with TBN and gold btw?) instead of silver roads...And what more punishment can you get than hell? Handstands while suffering? SUCH A LOVING DEITY.
