Judgment

From time to time, I hear people say that only God can/will judge them. According to Scripture, there will come a time when we will ALL be judged for our actions, whether they be good or evil. John 5:22 tells us that God the Father will not judge anyone but that He has committed all judgment to His Son, Jesus Christ (which also tells us that they are separate Beings).
John 5:22
"For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:"

With Christ being in charge of the Judgment, we also know that He has delegated the responisibility to others. Included as judges are the Twelve Apostles (although Judas Iscariot has likely lost his seat).
Matthew 19:28
"And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."
Luke 22:29–30
"I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel."

Additionally, in the Book of Mormon, we find that the Book of Mormon apostles will judge the Nephite and Lamanite people.
Mormon 3:18–19
"Yea, behold, I write unto all the ends of the earth; yea, unto you, twelve tribes of Israel, who shall be judged according to your works by the twleve whom Jesus chose to be his disciples in the land of Jerusalem. And I write also unto the remnant of this people, who shall also be judged by the twelve whom Jesus chose in this land; and they shall be judged by the other twelve whom Jesus chose in the land of Jerusalem."

LDS President John Taylor said the First Presidency and the Twelve Apostles of our own dispensation will judge us (see The Mediation and Atonement, P. 157). Even more interesting is the words of the Apostle Paul to the Corinthians. He says that the saints of the Church shall judge.
1 Corinthians 6:2–3
"Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?"

Although there will be many, many judges, it is apparent that Christ will be the Chief Judge. Ultimately, judgment is His.

Introduction

For my first post, I suppose it would only be polite to introduce myself. My name is Christopher Mills. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I have family scattered across the USA. I have moved around from place to place but I have found a home in Utah.

I love Utah for many reasons other than that much of the population here is LDS. I love the mountains. It's a great place to snowboard or ski, whichever you prefer. Personally, I prefer boarding. This is probably because I skateboarded as a teenager. I tried snow skiing once and landed face down with my feet pointing in opposite directions. My knee did not appreciate that very much so I opted for the familiar comfort of a board. I have many other hobbies that time does not always allow for. I usually end up spending what little free time I have with my family. My wife and I have two young boys that are very time demanding. Of course, we love em' to death.

I love to spend time studying religious topics. I am interested in beliefs of all religions but I spend most of my study striving for a deeper understanding of my own beliefs. I have a firm testimony of Jesus Christ and my conversion to His gospel but I believe that there is always more to learn. As the Apostle Paul states, in Romans 15:4, "For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope."

Through my patient study of the Scriptures, I have written on a number of topics; some of which will be future posts on this blog. I look forward to meeting new friends and sharing with one another our knowledge and understanding of the gospel. Due to my responsibilities, I may not post as frequently as I would like. Please do not give up on me if some time goes by without a posting. I will try to make this blog as fresh and interesting as I am physically, mentally and spiritually able.
