    There's been a lot of interesting literature written about this and one of the more interesting articles I've read asserts that the idea of Hell and eternal damnation were not originally part of Christian doctrine until they were introduced by the likes of Tertullian of Carthage and Augustine of Hippo:

    How & When The Idea of Eternal Torment Invaded Church Doctrine
    https://medium.com/@BrazenChurch/ho...ately,word Aión which means “an Age” or “Eon”.

    Personally, I don't believe in Hell and eternal damnation, and I don't think the idea is consistent with Jesus' teachings. I also don't believe in a God that would torture his children and use them as firewood.

    I agree with you that what a lot of the fear mongering Christians put out would not be consistent with Jesus' teachings, but then again, looking at my children analogy, we can seen how some kids scream and cry, if you sternly say no to them, yet alone lightly smack a hand or anything else non damaging. I think it is a lot like that; being made out to be a lot worse than it really is. Assuming He'll actually exists of course.

    I've only listened to and read two minutes of this video so far but a thought jumped to mind.....

    near death experiencer Dr. Kevin Zadai reports that he was PREVENTED from taking a look at the face of the Ancient of Days the Father by Messiah Yeshua - Jesus during his near death experience.....

    His impression was that if Jesus had not blocked his view of the Father that
    his human body would not have been able to stand the level of Holy Spirit that he would have returned with and
    he would not have been able to come back into an ordinary life here as he did do.



    So... what Dr. Zadai reports would fit perfectly with the statement that once saints are fully deceased......
    then after that YES they would be able to behold the Face of the Ancient of Days the Father......



    I am trying to remember if that statement is in this video or not....
    but this is a good introduction to near death experiencer Dr. Kevin Zadai anyway.....

    Perhaps this is a lot like saying that Dr. Zadai would have hit a level of vibration where he would not be able to come back here to be with us if he had seen the Father????
