The alleged (UNPROVEN) ACCIDENT of our temporal physical reality is fully exonerated in their progressive "New Age" thinking productions and one of his recurring themes and religious mantras was "We are Star Dust."

It's obvious to me that MOST of the scientific world who never cracked open the UNMODIFIED Hebrew Scriptures to have a look-see at a DIFFERENT explaination for the greater cosmology and content of our physical universe; would be unaware that a very SIMILAR statement is made by the GOOD, Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Sentient Creator Deity whom it is believed sponsored those writings. (From Dust You Came And Unto Dust You Shall Return)

And while many millennia have passed from when these WORDS of YHWH were spoken and later recorded, the Adversary of Man & YHWH has busied themselves with injecting half-truths & paganism; which includes Babylonian, Persian, Norse, Greek & Roman Pantheons and Mythologies among MANY others; into common consciousness to CREATE and spread the false doctrines of HELL.

The favored proclamation of a Satanist might be "Better to RULE in Hell than to SERVE in Heaven" which of course tricks many people into believing that there is some form of SENTIENCE beyond death whereby the Adversary could direct any TORMENTED subjects within that realm of their supposed influence.

THIS false doctrine which of course negletcs to remind it's adherents of The GOOD News! which identifies the CHOSEN few who follow AFTER the Lamb (Who later returns as a LION) as being fully REDEEMED, TRAINED and EQUIPPED to LEAD in the New Earth supported by the NEW Heaven as Priest Kings of the Most High, Great Watcher & Lord of HOSTS.

They also forget to include the scriptural information that ONLY those whose names are NOT written in the Book of Life, are CAST into Gehenna (Lake of Fire) (NOT SHEOL) AFTER the Adversary, BEAST & False Prophet are, then later "Death" and "Sheol" (Hades) ALSO.  Revelation DOESN'T mean HIDDEN

SO....how do you reign in a place which is DESTROYED and your subjects ANNHILATED?

FYI - The word "Hell" is actually GERMANIC in origin supplied by LATER scribes and it carried with it in the minds of its hearers all the pagan ideas attached to it at that time, AND on into the popular consciousness of today; but this hides the fact that the writers were actually referring to the Hebrew concept of "SHEOL," and the basic meaning of that word is "A Dark Shadowy Place" or more concretely - THE GRAVE.  

Since any original New Covenant writings which may have been written in the Hebrew language are all but lost to archeology at present, the GREEK translations and writings to the Greek educated GENTILE converts unfortunately ALSO depended upon a common use word to convey the idea of death and the grave, namely the Greek word "HADES."  

NOW you may begin to grasp where the notions of TEMPORAL application of any eternal torment in a world inhabited by pitchfork wielding demons actually comes from.  There exists but ONE OBJECT Lesson parable of the Son of Man (That I know of) strangely juxtaposed after certain "LAW Expanding Points" attributed to Iesous The Anointed One of Nazareth, which leans toward the possibility of any "sentience" of the dead at any moment of their deserved punishment which is disclosed in the story of The Rich Man and Lazarus the Beggar. (Luke 16)

The greater understanding of and scriptural representative DOCTRINE of any TEMPORAL death is that it is an unconscious REST.  Since there is NO naturally occurring eternal SPIRIT of human beings, other THAN the limited consciousness they were once gifted with which does RETURN from whence it came to be held in UNCONSCIOUS reserve until such time as their BODY is resurrected to judgement at ANY time as needed for said JUDGEMENT to be implemented.

But to put that idea into the proper perspective one must realize that whenever one "Falls Asleep" in the temporal realm and are later "WOKEN' to temporal reality, they have absolutely NO idea how long they were asleep UNTIL they glance at a clock. THAT is what temporal death is and it naturally leads to one of two eternal positions: More Life or More Death.

Scripturally speaking there is but ONE being who can shed ANY more light upon that subject and UNLESS you read the "words in red" you may NEVER get to the point where the FEAR of YHWH is greater than any fear of temporal death.

BTW, "SOME" as it is written, will one day attend the resurrection of life, and some to the resurrection of damnation (Separation from the Eternal Consciousness).  The exact number on either side of that fence is relatively unknowable but those who are given "WHITE ROBES" and inherit eternal life are said to be "many multitudes which were impossible to count." (Revelation Does NOT Mean Hidden)

This leads us to the point where we must FIRMLY establish that there is NO inherent ETERNAL component of ANY carnal human being which are NOT "changed in a twinkling of an eye" into the substance of ETERNITY; that would actually allow an ETERNAL torment of that person by the GOOD, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Sentient Creator Deity which might exist, EXCEPT their FREE WILL consciousness or "breath of life" which is only reported as being eternally EXTINGUISHED by being cast into the Lake of Fire at the second death.

And So....there MAY be moments where the convicted consciousness of any person resurrected before the FINAL court of eternity which has jurisdiction over their FATE; does feel the torment of their lifelong refusal to REPENT of their deeds AND the full weight of that FREE WILL choice bearing down upon them; and those moments may be what is being described as those filled with "weeping and gnashing of teeth."(Conscious Understanding of LOSS)

IMHO, Spiritism is yet another thinly veiled attempt by our Adversary to fool carnal human minds into believing they have ANY hope of "life after death" without an intimate knowledge of and GRACED familial relationship WITH the GOOD, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Sentient Creator Deity. Any deluded person may reason within themselves to their destruction, "Who needs a saving deity if I can just come back as a ghost and HAUNT everybody left alive?"

Those who claim to have ANY personal communication with or POWER to "channel" the spirits of the dead or of other parallel universes, etc., are necessarily "in bed" with Adversarial spirits who have "been around long enough to KNOW everybody" as Bill Murray quips about the obvious abilities of "God" in the movie "Groundhog Day."

There IS but one reported instance where YHWH allowed the BEING of a dead Hebrew prophet named Samuel to appear before Saul, the first anointed King of Israel who strayed badly from the path and received the TEMPORAL punishment for his behavior after consulting with the Witch of Endor. (You Get What You Pay For)

SO....From DUST you CAME and unto DUST you shall return.....UNLESS....hearing the GOOD NEWS! prompts you to not only intellectually believe; but spiritually and with heart filled determination to believe UNTO repentance; THEN to DO as your Messiah did, and to continually, steadfastly and purposefully CALL upon the name whereby we MUST be saved.

Believe it or not.

Till then,

Shalom!
