HERE because it's true.
Think with the mind of Christ, relying on the Holy Spirit. Not with your own mind and the minds of those humans who want you to believe as they do.
Look at what the Bible is actually saying:
Love | Forgiveness | Belief
John 3
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
17 For
God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him.
Perish: G622 ἀπόλλυμι apollumi from 575 and the base of 3639;
to destroy fully (reflexively, to perish, or lose), literally or figuratively:--destroy, die, lose, mar, perish.
Condemned: G2919 κρίνω krino properly, to distinguish, i.e. decide (mentally or judicially); by implication, to try, condemn, punish:--avenge, conclude, condemn, damn, decree, determine, esteem, judge, go to (sue at the) law, ordain, call in question, sentence to, think.
Judged | condemned
John 3
18 He who believes on Him is not condemned, but
he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds were evil.
Matthew 26
28 For
this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Romans 1
17 For the law came through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
The law = the old covenant. The old covenant = the law. It was based on the law. It passed when Jesus died on the cross and the veil in the temple was torn in two.
Compare:
2 Corinthians 5
17 So that
if any one is in Christ, that one is a new creature; old things have passed away; behold,
all things have become new.
and:
John 3
18 He who believes on Him
is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.
Romans 3
10 As it is written,
There is none righteous, no, not one:
11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
20 Therefore
by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for
by the law is the knowledge of sin.
Romans 3
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
Romans 5
12 As by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed
upon all men, for that all have sinned.
Atonement:
Romans 5
10 When we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
by whom we have now received the atonement.
The death of Jesus:
Mark 15
37 And letting out a loud voice, Jesus expired.
38
And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
The veil:
19 Therefore, my brothers,
having boldness to enter into the Holy of Holies by the blood of Jesus,
20 by a new and living way
which He has consecrated for us through the veil, that is to say, His flesh.
THE HOUR THE OLD COVENANT PASSED AND THE NEW COVENANT CAME
John 12
27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father,
save me from this hour: but
for this cause came I unto this hour.
28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
31
Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
33 This he said,
signifying what death he should die.
John 3
18 He who believes on Him
is not condemned, but he who does not believe
is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.
The New had come - the old had passed:
Matthew
26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread and blessed it, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat, this is My body.
27 And He took the cup and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink all of it.
28 For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
The hour in which the Old Covenant passed away and the new covenant came is the hour the world was judged for its sins when Jesus died on the cross for the sins of the world. The Jews are not judged differently to the rest of mankind.
Romans 1
17 For the law came through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Final judgment IS JUDGMENT FOR ALL. Judged by works:
Revelation 20
11 And I saw
a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God;
and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and
the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books,
according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them:
and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And
whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Judged by their works when Jesus returns - the law (old covenant) was given to mankind through the Jews because by the law is the knowledge of sin (Romans 3:20).
Romans 1
17 For the law came through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Preterist and Part Preterists must stop contradicting God by asserting that the old covenant remained intact until AD70 and that the judgment of the Jews who rejected Christ came at that time. God does not contradict Himself. ALL WHO REJECT CHRIST ARE ALREADY CONDEMNED. When Christ returns, only then will there be a final judgment of the living and the dead.
