The Souls of God

Don't know what you're talking about.

You need to pay attention to what was said. Go back and reread it. Or, just read it. You saw the word homosexuality and jumped like a frog on hot rock.

I read it. Again you don't know what you are talking about

Just read the verses I gave and then my comment.

You are hard hearted based on not understanding Jesus. Per Jesus

 

[Jainarayan]

Not when He addressed eternal life or death. And certainly not when He cast out demons and confronted the devil and demons.

Jesus was not a Gandhi type.

That’s what “Christianity” has done to Jesus. Totally misrepresents him. Pity.

Sorry but you have it just backwards. We present and declare the real Jesus Christ. You and the rest of the world make him in your fashion.

In Orthodox Christianity,
when someone dies, they immediately are experiencing the holy fire of God. The virtuous feel well in the holy fire and they join God in heaven. The wicked are tortured by the fire, and they vanish, like they didn't exist at all. Satan accuses the sinners and does nothing else. There isn't eternal torment. Just annihilation.

This might be "orthodox Christianity" but it isn't in the bible.
Orthodox Christianity is in the business of writing its own bibles.

I don’t make him anything. I’m not Christian, I’m a disinterested 3rd party. So I see him as I see any other teacher teaching dharma.

True, there isn't eternal torment. The context is "death" takes what god doesn't want.

Annihilation suits me just fine. **** God.

What's the difference?

Fire is not a spiritual concept so how would you burn in a afterlife?

Who knows and declares the real Jesus but only the father who sent him?

I can’t make any sense of that post.
I didn’t mention fire or an afterlife.

 

[Howard Is]

That’s a uniquely Christian perspective. You won’t find anything remotely resembling that in Hinduism, Buddhism, Paganism and other indigenous religious traditions.

It’s my observation that Christianity has an unhealthy obsession and association with sin, judgement, punishment, fire, devils and demons. It’s a shame because Jesus never spent so much time on the subject.

Weirdly enough, there are buddhists who believe that kind of stuff.
I once lived in a Tibetan Buddhist community which was primarily gelugpa, and some of them believed stuff like ‘if you insult a bodhisattva you will have 500 rebirths as a dog’ and similar nonsense.

What's the difference between burning for eternity or just being annihilated?

Afterlife: ones state after death.

Burning is an experience. Annihilation isn’t.

So annihilation isn’t ‘one’s state after death’.
Annihilation is no state whatsoever.

Burning is an experience on earth. When you die, there is no "nerve endings" to experience the type of burning and fire we are familiar with.

That's why I ask, why one over the other?

I read this on another site.

"Satan doesn’t kill anyone. He only takes care of the souls God don’t want to keep with him."

Things that make you go hm.

The soul comes from God. Why would God not want Himself?

 

[Unveiled Artist]

The soul comes from god or is the soul god himself?

Edit. The context is "death" takes what god doesn't want.

People who think Satan exists are possessed by Satan.
