Talk:Particular judgment

message: Today I almost wrote this lead paragraph over the current one.
In Christian eschatology, particular judgment is the doctrine that immediately after death the eternal destiny of each separated soul is decided by the just judgment of God. In Eastern Orthodox dictrine, the judged soul awaits the Resurrection either in blissful anticipation or dread. In Catholicism, the soul goes immediately to Heaven, Hell, Purgatory and then Heaven, or possibly Limbo. In Protestantism, the soul goes to Heaven or Hell. Particular judgment is the common belief of most Christians, as opposed to the belief that none are judged before the General Judgment, and that the soul is unconscious or that there is no separate spiritual soul that survives death.
I'm trying to incorporate the Eastern Orthodox view into the page so it can be about Christian doctrine instead of about Western Christian doctrine. Here's the tough nut. Is "particular judgment" the belief that one is judged immediately after death, or that one goes to hell/heaven/purgatory immediately after death? The Eastern Orthodox have judgment immediately after death, but you don't go to hell or wherever until the resurrection. Is that particular judgment? Is there a name for the "go to hell now" doctrine or for the "waiting" doctrine? Jonathan Tweet 15:10, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

message: This article seems to be pretty POV in statements about how the doctrine of Particular Judgment isn't supported by the Bible.  It should lay out what the belief is, not set out to disprove it.   A large part of this article seems to contrast Particular with General Judgment.  I tagged the article as POV.

message: Dear editors,
It somewhat disturbed me that the image used to describe Roman Catholic understanding of the topic discussed involved the notion of Limbo.  Limbo was never officially adopted into Church dogma, and was recently declared a void theory by an authoritative theological council.  Thank you for your concern,
Sincerely,

replies: text: I added that fact. Of course, the picture remains unchanged and anyways the theory of limbo must be covered to, but maybe the picture caption should explain that as well. Str1977 (talk) 00:54, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
