@Nudhul @Ash_Kvetchum @Xenophon @xuya @Frondeur @Gab_Refugee @Reluctanceherd @justnormalkorean Paraphrasing a lecture sermon I heard from Matt Walsh (of all people), before he signed with (((Daily Wire)))...
>When we stand before God at Judgement, He will ask us "What do you want?" and our soul will answer Him. "I want to be with You and dwell in your presence and glory!" or "Leave me alone I want nothing to do with You!" and God will grant our request.

@Nudhul @Ash_Kvetchum @Xenophon @xuya @Frondeur @Gab_Refugee @Reluctanceherd @justnormalkorean Answered by our immortal soul. We will answer it when asked, perhaps involuntarily like the way our heart beats or lungs breathe.

@BowsacNoodle @Ash_Kvetchum @Xenophon @xuya @Frondeur @Gab_Refugee @Reluctanceherd @justnormalkorean so its a binary question that will be answered to by...a seperate entity that witnessed our mortal actions?

Brother, you're asking hows when we have the what and why.
We don't know how gravity works, let alone the minute detail of how the soul develops.
But I know if I go see my wife right now in nine months a soul (the what) will be there because I got her pregnant (the why) and want to be fruitful and multiply.
Same for the step-by-step of how we'll be judged. We don't have that. We are told *by what standard* (the what) we'll be judged.
By how the sheep were treated.
The sheep will be judged by how they treated the sheep (Matthew 25:31-46).
It's the same thought as "Love thy neighbor as thyself ["neighbor" is not the Greek word for geological neighbor; it is the word for one "near you"]. (Point of the Good Samaritan parable--literally answering a lawyer asking "Who is my neighbor?" in Luke.)
(Also note that "Love you enemies" is not "Love God's enemies," who should be our enemies.)

Basically the premise of "The Great Divorce" by CS Lewis.
(He noted that it was a "supposition" rather than an allegory.)
