Comparative Visions of the Afterlife: Heaven, Hell, and Divine Judgment - Mikhail Sergeev

Topic
Comparative Visions of the Afterlife: Heaven, Hell, and Divine Judgment
Description
The concept of an afterlife that there is an immortal future, which might either be a lamentable half-existence or a place that includes physical survival, rewards, and punishments, has been central in Western thought. By understanding different conceptions of what happens to us after we die, we explore how the culture engages in continuous conscious reflection upon ethics, identity, the nature of good and evil, repentance, and forgiveness.
In this presentation, we will explore various visions of the afterlife, starting with Ancient Egypt, India, and Greece. From there, we will move onto classical Christianity and will examine Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant doctrines about life after death. In the final part of the presentation, we will discuss modern religious movements - Mormonism, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and the Bahá’í Faith - in light of their reinterpretation of the notions of the apocalypse and posthumous existence.

It's very possible that the Wedding scene in the New Testament was Jesus's own wedding to Mary Magdalene (i'm not aware of any Baha'i writings saying that he never got married which was anyway totally unheard of for any young man of his time). See "Jesus - A New Vision" by Whitley Strieber

A better-read Baha'i than I will show you the reference in the Writings of Jesus as "He who never married".

[@balancepositivetherapy]

@@bahaigpt in OCEAN nothing Jesus related comes up with searches for "not married" or "unmarried" in the Baha'i writings

[@bahaigpt]

@@balancepositivetherapy often times Baha'i Scripture are not verbatim, I'll try to procure it for you unless a kind RUclipsr beats me to it.

[@balancepositivetherapy]
