What is Jesus holding in His Hand? Is it OUR “Book of Life” at HIS Judgment?

Is this picture showing that Jesus is reading “The Book of Life” that I have written on the screen of His ‘celestial cell phone’?

~

Question 1: “What is Jesus Reading as He sits on His Throne of Judgment?”

Answer: “He may be reading from one of a hundred billion of ‘Books of Life’ that were written by one of the souls awaiting His Judgment. Every person’s ‘Book of Life’ may show up as a ‘Heavenly Download’ on the screen of His ‘celestial cell phone’.”

~

Question 2: “Where does The Bible tell us that Jesus will read from our ‘Book of Life’ when He judges our soul?”

Answer: “Read Chapter 20, Verse 12 in The Book of Revelation. The Bible specifically tells us that Jesus reads from many ‘Books of Life’ that record each person’s words and deeds:

‘I saw the dead, both great and small, standing in front of His Throne, while The Book of Life was opened, and other books opened which were the record of of what they had done in their lives, by which the dead were judged.’

~

Question 3: “How are the ‘dead’ judged?”

Answer: “Each of us is judged by our obedience and by our disobedience. That is why Jesus warned every person on earth in John 15:14, ‘You are My friends IF you obey My commands.'”

~

Question 4: “If we love and obey God we get good points in our ‘Book of Life’. Do we get bad points if do not love our neighbor?”

Answer: “The Bible was clear about that in Leviticus 19:18 and Leviticus 19:34. Jesus repeated how important it is to love our neighbor seven more times in Matthew 19:19, Matthew 22:39, Mark 12:31, Luke 10:27, Romans 13:9, Galatians 5:14, and James 2:8.'”

~

Question 5: “What if we intentionally ‘hurt’ our neighbors?”

Answer: “All the ‘hurt’ we have done bounces back upon our soul for eternity.”

~

Question 6: “How can we avoid the awful fate of being punished in proportion to the hurt we have done to our neighbors?”

Answer: “There is one sure way! First, we plead with Jesus to forgive us. Then, we find that His Catholic priests are the only people on earth to whom He gave This Power in John 20:23! ‘Those whose sins YOU forgive on earth are forgiven in Heaven.’

Those who most meaningfully respect The Truth in Every Word of Jesus will be Catholic, get Absolution from His Catholic priests, and pray for the shortest possible pain in Purgatory to burn away the stains on our soul.

Some Catholic souls may be blessed by the Catholic Sacraments of Confession and The Last Rites to go straight into Heaven!”

~

Question 7: “What if we decide to NOT do that?”

Answer: “All of our sins are magnified by that Violation of The First Commandment! The least intelligent thing we can to is write down in our ‘Book of Life’ is that ‘I have chosen to put my opinions ‘before Him.”
