hmm. i had not understood this from you before. (i have not viewed your link.) you do not believe in the Holy Trinity? .. there have been threads on this, alone. some strongly disagree with the Holy Trinity, esp citing, “trinity,” as a word, is not found in scriptures.

(As evidenced by sly implying that I'm damned for hell)
who is not speaking one by one?
i’m not seeing a conspiracy of even loose description. maybe i’m missing something.

The immortal soul will go to heaven or to hell -after the body dies- and remain there for eternity.
Not, I would add, because a soul must be naturally or inherently immortal apart from God; for God sustains all things, nothing could exist without him.
Agreed.
when i arrived on MD, this is how i believed. our bodies die; according to God’s judgment, our spirits may live with Him in eternity.
however, there was a thread in which discussions of our physical bodies being resurrected and healed in eternity that caused me to reconsider.
not to mention, after my husband passed, one nght, i had a vibrant “visitation” dream, in which he appeared, in full health, restored, healed, “in the prime of his life,” that certainly made me wonder about how things will be .. since i read of these different understandings, i have wondered further.
the dream was brief, he did not speak. the message seemed to be, “i am healed, i am fine,”
then he was gone. in the dream, i felt the sad loss a second time, “i “knew” he would not return.
his illness had completely decimated his body, to see him restored was more than i can describe.
it was unlike any dream i’ve ever had. i don’t put much value on dreams. this one caught my attention. funny, it would have been his nature to let me know he was ok. what a memory!
i had not thought about the resurrection of our bodies before .. (i’m describing my experience, my questions, not trying to convince or make a case.) i do not claim to know. the topic has my attention.
we do not understand in full, and we are not meant to.
we are given what we need. not all we might want.
