I have often heard Psalm 103:12 quoted to describe how God deals with our sins once forgiven:
as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
Yet Romans 14 says:
10 You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister[a]? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.
11 It is written:
“‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord,
‘every knee will bow before me;
every tongue will acknowledge God.’"
12 So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.
So, if I get this right, God has forgiven us our transgressions and removed them from us as far as the east is from the west, but we will now need to recall them all and give an account? Even though Jesus has been alleged to have paid for them?
What am I missing?
Thanks!
You're not missing anything. What you're seeing is an inconsistency. The Bible is filled with them.

It it's wood, hay or stubble... puff... and it's like it was never there.
