No we have not mentioned God yet....what I wanted to know is if grace and mercy would be

believe that God's grace is not so complete it does not take care of all sins and something
else needs done after judgment day.
Why does God have to take care of anyones sins?

You want to go immediately down the route - yes, there is grace, but God is limited with dispensing it because if somebody does not willingly receive it then God's hands are tied and even if he wants to he is prohibited and limited from forgiving somebody who does not want to be forgiven...... or some such reasoning.
My point is that THAT conclusion is a huge jump in logic that cannot be made before the various elements that I have listed, such as
- debt
- grace & mercy
- laws & consequences
- etc
are individually analised, since they are words we all understand.
There is no point in applying these concepts to spiritual matters BEFORE we have agree what they mean.
But you jump immediately into Christianese, and that is what I specifically said I do not want to do.
So I guess you have also decided, like sonship, that you would rather NOT participate in such a conversation, and I respect your decision.
Adieu.

low hopes you'd follow through. I want to discuss the topics at hand, maybe not the same
way you do. I'm trying to get you to talk about God's grace and mercy after judgment day,
since after judgment day is when the God's wrath is going to be poured out as well.
If we cannot even talk about what I thought we agreed on, I doubt we will ever be able to
come to terms and understanding on what we may not agree on.
So if grace and mercy is to much, we can stop now save ourselves some time.

Im pretty sure that you can phrases the question a bit clearer. Why dont you give it a shot.
God's grace to us will cover all sins?
God's mercy to us will be complete?
Will we see any judgment, condemnation mixed into either His grace or mercy then?
Basically, what is it you think it will be like and why?
