The question is not "after judgment" it was "at the judgement" as you can see in the title above. Stop goofing off. friend.
Well, then apparently you forgot to read Romans 14. If you have read and still believe this nonsense that people are going to have a chance to be saved at judgement, then you must believe everyone will be saved...which is totally false!

Romans 14
10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

At judgement, every knee will bow and confess to God. They will still be judged.

There is no getting around that. Stop spreading false hope or you could be the cause of people being misled. It is a dangerous lie from the devil.

Since we do not have those books to read.....the point is mute.
Only book y'all need to be reading is the Bible. It plainly answers your question....you can like it or not...but it is clear!

Why would a loving, just, merciful God not accept the loving prayers of Jews, Hindus, Muslims, or Buddhist, and instead wipe them out?
It's simple...the only way to God is through Jesus Christ...God gives everyone a chance to accept Him...whosoever believes in him will be saved...but whosoever don't will be damned.

Who are you to question God's judgement?

He is a loving God and his judgements are just.

I mean...it is what it is!

To my knowledge the person never claimed to be a JW. If they are a born again Christian --- in that case you would be calling them names that are not true, thus an insult.
That's your opinion.
You are welcome to it.
Now here is the reality..
What a person Believes, regarding their understanding of the NT, or lack of it, along with the Denomination that has created their theology is who they are, as a "type" of Believer.
So, if you are a Catholic, or a Baptist, or a JW or a Mormon, this is because you BELIEVE what this denomination teaches.
This defines your theology, which defines your religious type.
So, the insult is not to be defined, the insult is if what you believe insults the Cross or NT Doctrine., as THERE is the problem found.

read to here, I guess no one has a solid case to intelligently respond to my question. thanks for trying.
I love how you rebuke people for "name calling",
then you essentially call everyone an idiot.
Brilliant!
Ignore list.

lol...You didn't even get the point I was making? I never said you were judging anyone:unsure:

Yeah, the scripture is telling us not to judge others. But it also states the fact that everyone is going to kneel and confess to God on Judgement day. If your theory that people will have a chance to repent on judgment day was correct then that would mean EVERYONE would be saved.

We know everyone is not going to be saved, though.

Thanks, I am not calling anyone an idiot or anything else. I am simply pointing out that I have not seen a good answer as of yet.

4 At that time you will begin to sing this song about the king of Babylon:

The king was cruel when he ruled us,

5 The Lord breaks the scepter of evil rulers;
he takes away their power.
6 In anger, the king of Babylon beat the people.
He never stopped beating them.
He was an evil ruler who ruled in anger.
He never stopped hurting people.
7 But now, the whole country rests and is quiet.
Now the people begin to celebrate.
8 You were an evil king,
and now you are finished.
Even the pine trees are happy.
The cedar trees of Lebanon rejoice.
They say, “The king chopped us down,
but now the king has fallen,
and he will never stand again.”
9 The place of death is excited
that you are coming.
Sheol is waking the spirits
of all the leaders of the earth for you.
Sheol is making the kings stand up
from their thrones to meet you.
10 They will make fun of you, saying,
“Now you are as dead as we are.
Now you are just like us.”
11 Your pride has been sent down to Sheol.
The music from your harps announces the coming of your proud spirit.
Maggots will be the bed you lie on,
and other worms will cover your body like a blanket.
