Repentance After Death?

[rjohnson741]

"And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely" Revelation 22:17. The book of Revelation is a book about the past, present, and future. The Spirit of course is Jesus Christ, and the bride is the church in the present, and the glorified church in the future. Revelation 22:17 is an invitation to come to Christ now and in the future. There is no expiration date on this invitation, because the water of life is inside New Jerusalem, and the gates of this city are always open(Revelation 21:25) just like the doors of the church are always open today. Also the word of God endures always(1Peter 1:23-25). Now who is this invitation for? It's not for the church, because the Spirit and the bride(the church who are believers) are proclaiming this invitation together. And the church(believers) are inside the city and have already taken the water of life. So the invitation must be for those on the "outside" of the city. And whose on the "outside" of the city?---The unbelievers(Revelation 21:8; Revelation 22:15). Since there is no expiration date on this invitation, the invitation will continue for as long as there is someone in need of the water of life. So praise God---UNBELIEVERS CAN REPENT AND COME TO CHRIST AFTER DEATH!!! Jesus Christ truly is the Savior of the world. Blessings.

Leaves for healing of the nations....

The timing is of importance too. It happens after Jesus returned with New Jerusalem.
Does that help in the UR/ET debate?
Not really because teh offer stands until death."
After death comes judgement....

One view is, that is already after death/resurrection, as it's in the next age...

Your comment "Not really because the offer stand until death. After death comes judgment". Where does it say anywhere in Revelation or the Bible that the offer stands until death? Are you saying death voids the invitation of Revelation 22:17? I can't find any scriptures that say that. Besides, the gates of New Jerusalem are always open(Revelation 21:25), therefore there is no "until death" or expiration date on the invitation. Also judgment works in harmony with the invitation of Revelation 22:17---"For when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness" Isaiah 26:9.  Blessings to you.

"For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:  By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.  The like figure whereunto [even] baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:  Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him." (1 Peter 3^18-22 KJV)

"For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit." (1 Peter 4⁶ KJV)

This seems to clearly teach word that quickens the spirit to life can come forth and affect those whose flesh has died but yet are existing as spirits in hades.  Certainly in the Lazarus and the rich man parabolic story the rich man went though a change of mind and heart to be so concerned for his brothers.  (We really need to give more heed to how we can relieve the suffering of others we come into contact with on our path.  We have good works preordained for us to do in our assigned path.)

[reFORMer]

In the 2nd chapter of Jonah (according to the KJV) Jonah died and went to hell for ever.  Then it was he remembered the Lord, changed his mind, agreeing to do what he had vowed.  The recognition of this chapter in the Bible can change people's view on the salvation of all.  I think I met one who was so affected.  It certainly causes many of the average church-goers to fall silent.  Some "leaders" have an argument around it, that Jonah didn't actually die.  He only thought he did.  Only that makes Jonah a liar and a false prophet.  It also has a sort of obvious complication that should tip off those sensitized to the truth:  men telling us what God meant to say.  (Many don't seem to see how incompetent their tradition makes out God to be.)

[1] Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly, [2] And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, [and] thou heardest my voice. [3] For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me. [4] Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple. [5] The waters compassed me about, [even] to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head. [6] I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars [was] about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God. [7] When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple. [8] They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy. [9] But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay [that] that I have vowed. Salvation [is] of the LORD. [10] And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land]. (Jon 2:1-10 KJV)

For me, the verse in Revelations about the gate always being open was some of the strongest evidence that there is indeed repentance after death.  I must say the thought of serving, counseling, loving those outside of the gates into the gates is very appealing to me. 

[jugghead]

IMO, as long as we continue to translate the word as judgment rather than "a decision, for or against", people can't see how it is possible, if the word is just translated as is, it reads "after death comes decision" our decision to repent or not, some may not, simply because they do not even understand repentance (which is to think differently) but again we know that all will come to the knowledge of the truth and that is done by God drawing them unto himself.

   I believe that's a huge part of the elect being saved now.  One "obscure" definition I read one time of ekklesia was, "set aside, for a purpose"!

A definition of "judgement" that was given to me is: "Setting things right."  David prayed, "Judge me, O God."

When we look at that statement by David, are we both seeing it as "set me right, O God"? That it is not us who decides what is truth, it is a matter of God reveals the truth to us and we agree with it, setting us right from our own way of thinking (our old self) into His way of thinking (the new self, that of becoming like Christ). And it is not a new way of thinking for God, but it is for us since we have only understood our own (our own truth, by what we understand) up to the point of it (His truth) being revealed to us by God and He not only understands His truth, He "KNOWS" it to be truth.

I ask did David die as well?  I don' believe so.

Molly, I really thought you were smarter than that, but I guess not. We, you and I, have great failure to communicate, so in the words of Forest Gump, "That's all I have to say about that."

Here is another aspect of this; Thy will be done on earth "AS" it is in heaven" What is the will of God? His will is that none perish. How is His will accomplished (done)? Through the renewing of the mind (repentance; thinking differently).

And when we understand that God wants His will accomplished (done) on earth "AS" it is in heaven, we understand that His will "IS" accomplished in heaven through the renewing of the mind (repentance; thinking differently) and He wants it accomplished on earth in the same way, with love, forgiveness and compassion towards those who lack this understanding (who are blind to this understanding).

Even if we cannot do anything about getting people to think differently, the Father will, because I do not believe that judgment will come from the Father or Christ, it will come from ourselves towards ourselves when He reveals the truth in all the things that we thought were righteous by our standards but were not righteous by His standards.

Judgment does not have to come from the Father, all He has to do is reveal the truth to us and we become our own judge against ourselves.

My two cents and of course this is my opinion.

The dead are to be resurrected to face judgment(John 5:28-29; Revelation 20:12).

HaHa! That is so painfully true

[Molly]

14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
 
15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
