I think because there is NO judgment for those who belong to him, who believe in him and call on him, because they have crossed over from death to life. Christ is the resurrection and the life - and there is no second death or death at all, for those who are alive in spirit.
Awfully convenient for people born in a nation full of Christians...

Tee hee hee.
Nations are nations.
Any other suggestions?

Read Luke chapter 12 verrrrry carefully.
Noteably that chapter says that Jesus is not an arbiter and to not worry. Is there something else you had in mind?

Ok, then the Lamb is actually a baby sheep and it wrote a REALLY big book the size of a house with all people's names in it that are going to live.

I think we are asking. Who are they?
Notably verses 47 and 48 of Luke 12: To whom is given more, more will be asked back.
Sab, now you're acting all Watchtowerish.
By your reasoning, the 7 congregation aren't really congregations.
Common sense can be most helpful at times, you know.

I think NVL's question is very much along the lines of common sense.
My common sense in me tells me you haven't answered his question. Who are the nations?

Perhaps... but do remember that those who belong to Christ are those who serve others in love and truth; who are not raised above their fellow man and lord it over their heads... mind you, there are also very many 'Christians' who are not sincere in their living by the teachings of Christ, or that even have the love of Christ in their hearts.
What did Jesus think of such hypocrites in his day, again?

I believe the nations are those 3/4 of whom you were most concerned in your opening post.
ALL the families of the earth who are to bless themselves by means of Abraham's Seed.
Hallelujah!
