Concerning the destiny of the human race, Christianity creates a false dichotomy between heaven and hell. "Either you go to heaven or hell after you die," they say. And yet the Scriptural dichotomy (the two destiny options) are not heaven or hell at all, but life or death.
Next comes the time issue. Christianity insists that the billowy clouds of heaven or the raging fires of hell will be "for eternity." And yet Scripture speaks nothing of eternity, but rather eons.
The key truth Christianity is blinded to is
the fact that all humanity will, at the end of the eonian times, enjoy immortality with God. This is true regardless of faith. When it comes to faith, the issue is never eternity, but rather time, that is, the eons. The faithless do not live for the eons (or for parts of them), while the faithful do. So whenever Scripture presents faith issues, it is ONLY in relation to time. In relation to so-called eternity, faith is not the issue at all, but rather descendancy from Adam.
Thanks to Nathan Tittle for the question that led to these great revelations.
