I mean, most Christians agree on the same basic stuff.
-
The Bible declares that God “has set a day in
which he purposes to judge the inhabited
earth.” ( Acts 17:31)
This day of judgment, also known as the
Final Judgment, is when Jesus, the Son of
God, will judge "the living and the dead"
before destroying the old heaven and earth,
which are corrupted of sin.
Sin can be defined as anything that opposes
God’s will and law. To engage in sin is to
disobey or abuse His laws. Because the urge
to sin resides in human nature, mankind is
corrupted and somewhat driven by the
immoral inclinations that live in all people.
This is a consequence of the fall into sin in
the garden of Eden. Before creating His new
heaven and earth, God must do away with
anything that could produce or bear sin into
His new creation.
Jesus Christ will act as the justice of the last
judgment, as the Bible states "Moreover, the
Father judges no one, but has entrusted all
judgment to the Son," ( John 5:22). All
skeptics will be judged by Christ at the
“great white throne,” and they will face
punishment in accordance with the acts
they have done. The Bible is very definite
that skeptics are collecting up vengeance
against themselves and that God will “give
to each person according to what he has
done” ( Romans 2:5-6). At the final judgment,
the destiny of the wicked and nonbelievers
will be in the control of the almighty God
who will assess everyone according to their
soul’s status.
Furthermore, let's look at the notable biblical
references about Judgment Day to get a
better understanding of God's last
judgment.
Bible Verses about Judgment Day, Our Final
Judgment
Therefore judge nothing before the
appointed time; wait until the Lord comes.
He will bring to light what is hidden in
darkness and will expose the motives of
the heart. At that time each will receive
their praise from God. 1 Corinthians 4:5
“For we must all appear before the
judgment seat of Christ, that each one may
receive the things done in the body,
according to what he has done, whether
good or bad." 2 Corinthians 5:10
But I tell you that everyone will have to
give account on the day of judgment for
every empty word they have spoken. For
by your words you will be acquitted, and
by your words you will be
condemned.” Matthew 12:36-37
I solemnly charge you before God and
Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and
the dead, and by his manifestation and his
Kingdom 2 Timothy 4:1
“Then I saw a great white throne and Him
who sat on it, from whose face the earth
and the heaven fled away. And there was
found no place for them. And I saw the
dead, small and great, standing before
God and books were opened. And another
book was opened, which is the Book of
Life. And the dead were judged according
to their works, by the things which were
written in the books.” Revelation 20:11-15
The image above is an art piece by
Michelangelo, an Italian Renaissance painter,
called The Last Judgment which covers the
entire altar wall of the Sistine Chapel in
Vatican City. It was created as a
representation of the Second Coming of
Christ and the final and eternal judgment by
God of all humanity.
How Will We Be Judged on Judgment Day?
According to Charles Stanley, Scripture
declares that Jesus Christ will judge every
person who has ever lived ( Acts 10:42).
Those who reject His offer of salvation face
the white throne judgment—the
unbelievers’ last stop before an eternity of
exile from God’s presence. Believers will also
stand before Jesus, at which time they’ll
finally come to a full comprehension of His
extravagant grace.
In 1 Corinthians 4:5, Paul says that Jesus will
disclose the motives hidden in believers’
hearts. Some people have gotten the
misguided idea that all their sins will be
displayed for everyone to see, but the Bible
in no way supports that notion.
Jesus will expose the true nature of a
believer’s heart to him or her. Every
rebellious act, wrong attitude, and cutting
word will be reviewed. When the Bible says
that Jesus will wipe the tears from our eyes,
it is referring to this time ( Isaiah 25:8). We’ll
be standing in the holy Savior’s presence,
grieving over how undeserving we are of
His sacrifice. But the sorrow will last only a
moment. On its heels comes the tremendous
joy of having received forgiveness and lived
a life pleasing to Him. Christ’s judgment is
not a punishment; it is a reminder that we
are pardoned. At last, we will fully realize the
depth and breadth of His grace.
Believers need not cower or hang their
heads during the judgment. Nor are we to
repent—the time for that is past. We will
stand before the Lord, clothed in Christ’s
righteousness and forgiven of every single
sin. And we will, at last, comprehend how
great is the love of our God for us. -

Exactly. A debate thread, not a sermon thread.

I’m personally a pagan, and so I do not believe in the Christian god. I’m a Celtic pagan specifically, though I do also worship and work with the goddess Demeter. Because of my faith, and I do not really believe in the bible, as a lot of the bible stories have directly stolen parts from my culture, as well as others.
So to answer the main question, I worship most of the Irish pantheon, but I particularly worship and work with The Dagda, who is the Irish chief of the Tuatha Dé Danann.
He is a god of many things, such as life and death, Time, the seasons, agriculture and also the god of Druids.
I consider myself a modern Druid, as I have been researching and working towards that title for a while now.
