Attorney to present ‘God’s Courtroom’ at White Oak Conference Center

“You will one day stand trial in God’s courtroom. Are you prepared?”

Attorney Bruce Kugler will be speaking on that topic at the Southeast Arabic Christian Conference at White Oak Conference Center near Winnsboro, S.C., Sept. 4-7. The conference is expected to draw people from South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia and Florida.

As a lawyer for more than 25 years, Kugler read and studied the Bible, and several legal terms and concepts began to catch his attention. He noticed that the Bible presented God as the Supreme Judge of the world and that everyone will one day appear before Him in His heavenly courtroom. He discovered that the Bible provides extensive information on this event which is an inevitable part of every person’s future.

“I basically explain the Gospel from a legal perspective,” Kugler said. He rejects the notion that good people go to heaven and bad people go to hell. According to Kugler, when people are tried in God’s courtroom, the standard for “not guilty” is absolute perfection. This is a standard no one can achieve. “If that is the standard, I would definitely be found guilty. There are no good defenses.”

Kugler suggests that the only reason a person can enter heaven after they die is on the legal principle that Jesus Christ paid the death penalty on the person’s behalf. The person enters a plea agreement with God and accepts a pardon. “Only the guilty need a pardon, not the innocent,” says Kugler.

Kugler has spoken numerous times at churches and conferences. His presentation was also the basis of a documentary film that has been aired nationally several times on major Christian television networks. The film has also aired internationally. Copies of the Arabic version of the film are being distributed by the Palestinian Bible Society in the West Bank and Israel.

The Arabic version of “God’s Courtroom” is also scheduled to air on the Aramaic Broadcasting Network in September. ABN was the first Arabic Christian channel to be launched in North America to reach people in the Arabic language.

The film can be viewed in its entirety at www.godscourtroom.org. Individuals and churches can also request a free DVD of the English or Arabic version of the film by contacting Pastor Zohair “Steve” Hanna at (864) 907-8414 or stevezhanna@yahoo.com.
