Answers about judgment
You also say: Why did God allow the Gibeonites to put to death seven of Saul’s sons? Were they participants in killing the Gibeonites? Also David seems to have only spared Mephibosheth only because he made an oath, and not for the fact that he was only five years old and did not participate in [...]
The simple answer is we don’t know. Consider this verse from Mark 16:16: “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned” It is clear what will happen to those who believe and are baptised. It is also clear what will happen to those who don’t believe, whether [...]

You say: A non-Christian who is retarded incompetent incapable to do his job well, yet awarded with many awards such as star awards; and he lives in areas such as Kings Cross in Sydney or perhaps visited the brothel in Thailand, whenever he visited a country.

On judgment day, there will not be problems for the faithful. It will be a time of joy and happiness — the time of the resurrection when the faithful will be given the gift of eternal life. Isaiah 35:4 Say to those who have an anxious heart, “Be strong; fear not! Behold, your God will come [...]
Jud 1:22-23 And have mercy on those who doubt; (23) save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh.
