I saw Mr. Cheese in another post say Gnostics generally don't believe in an afterlife. What is your take on this saying from the Gospel of Mary?
Peter asked him: "Teacher, will matter be destroyed or not?" Jesus answered him: "All forms will be dissolved to their original state."
You stated, Mr. Cheese, that suggests no afterlife to you. How do you know this wasn't Jesus saying that when everything is dissolved to it's original state, it will all be God? You know, the idea of God within all things. Is there another way one could view this?
