I myself have pointed to two fundamental facts [according to the Judeo-Christian canonical scriptures] on some occasions: The story of Adam and Eve tells the listening Hebrews that the wages of Eve and Adam's sin (the disobedience of the divine prohibition to eat the forbidden fruit) were disease, toil, and death. Well, as far as I know, no theologian has dared to tell what this presupposes: humans were created as things that do not undego decay, would last forever (hence they were made up of some astral substance, like that of people and things in dreams), could tend the farm or deliver babies without toils, and so forth. At the same time bodies needed nourishment and could enter into generative intercourse. In effect, sin changed the ontological constitution of humans and perhaps more. Saul of Tarsus (who called himself a Jew of Jews -- a Jew par excellence) invented a Jesus who atoned for man's (original) sin. Thus, the man who is purified by the Spirit is restored to the stage of innocence; the inherited sin is annulled. Unfortunately, the new man has not thereby become immortal and exempt from disease and pain. These benefits are postponed till after the end of the world and the establishment of the kingdom of God. So, this kingdom is in effect Eden/Paradise restored. This means that men will be like ghosts or dream-people, with an astral nature of what others called the "shades" of the dead. Physical reality will be transformed into phantom-like reality. Saul/Paul made it a point that when Jesus died, his body was not subjected to decay, and then he flew to heaven in his incorruptible body. He prefigures things to come. The men who accept him will gain immortality (incorruptibility) after the apocalyptic end. Things will not be deleted, as you seem to suggest; they will be transformed into quintessential matter [which Aristotle attributed to the visible but eternal planets]: astral things. The angels and archangels in the Total Bible, who conduct their business in our waking or sleeping hours, are astral in nature. (The ones who were met by the men of Sodom were highly desirable for their good looks.) The gods themselves {the Elohim; Yahweh} are certain astral in nature; they are immortal and invisible, but they operate in the world, speak to people, etc. They created the world in their own ontological image, but then Eve spoiled the soup and was responsible for the onset of corruptible matter. (You have to watch your words: when you say that there will be only energy and space left, you are granting too much, since energy is what can arrange itself into bulky bodies, which are disintegretable, corruptible. A magic transformation has to occur.) Your post has been virtually stamped, "Condemned", since it is too close to revealing unorthodox truths. (In the old days, there was the INDEX of Forbidden Books, for the books which had escaped burning.) This is the uniquely Jewish theological/mythic theory of reality: Before and after sin, it is dream-like or astral in nature. (The ancient view that there are mortal [physical] and immortal [astral] things is, of course, not indigenous to the Total Bible. It is only in the Judaean religion that materiality is, so to speak, the fallen state of nature; astrality is the norm. And matter, for the Creationists and Designists, is impotent and unable to give rise to the so-called living things.) The theology in question is called escatological theology -- concerning first and last things. |

What's your theory or belief on the wicked?
My theory or belief on the wicked is this: They like to feel, in the astral plane or spirit world, the disgust or uncomfortableness or rage from other ppl caused by themself or someone other. A living inspiration of what I never want to be. Sick ass beings. But there's no rest for the wicked! Like the Godsmack song goes. The wicked mind is seperated from the dead human body and transferred into the full astral spirit form and then is thrown into everlasting fire staring within the sun. The sun is glorious! And it is the throne of the Sun of Man. The Sun of Man has great commanding control over the astral world because the Sun of Man is as the astral world though the wicked dont realize this until it's too late. And there is nothing the wicked can do, but go away into everlasting punishment that the holy angels take them to. The Sun of man is in control of the holy angels (or rather the holy energy). Everything hidden will become known. Count on it! The Sheep and the Goats "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left." "Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world." "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:" "And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.." |
