Heaven and Hell
From Aryez
Book 41 of the Marfat
41: Heaven and Hell
1. Why would God make both a heaven
2. and a hell when He made all souls
3. equal? Hell is a place of evil, a corruption
4. of Good, to which no soul would go
5. willingly or rationally. Only the slaves
6. of the Devil would go there [if it existed]. All souls,
7. being made of the stuff of heaven [term for the place of afterlife]
8. are naturally drawn back to it. In heaven,
9. all souls will, after serving time for their
10. sins, find eternal peace and comfort.
11. There is no hell [it doesn’t exist], for a permanent punishment
12. is absolute, and only the Devil and his
13. followers deal in absolutes. Even though the
14. Law of God is absolute [a good kind of absolute], it bends to His
15. love and mercy. Hell is the domain of the
16. Devil [a state of mind in which his followers are trapped]. Heaven is everything beyond the
17. Universe, the timeless halls from the
18. firmament to the abyss, where all souls
19. come to the presence of God. If they
20. have committed evil deeds, surely they will
21. suffer, but not cruelly nor eternally. After a period
22. of suffering, they will be made whole and
23. admitted into the glory of God’s kingdom [the pleasant parts of heaven].
24. Even the good must atone for their sins [in a mild fashion], for nobody is totally free of sin [the suffering will fit the sin and the intentions].
25. The kingdom of God has no doors nor locks,
26. for all shall enter into its glory one day, and none shall leave,
27. even the Devil after he is defeated on
28. the day of judgment.
Commentary: The ideas expressed in this book are covered fully in other books. However, one of the most important ideas in this book is the existence of only one afterlife. For as all humans were made as one species, the species will share a common fate as God did not make any human soul superior or inferior to any other human soul.
