Death - my very best guess

I have uncovered a model of theology that perfectly encompasses everything and it is based on the atomic structure, our three rings of two and the three dimensional reality structure, which thereby compete over a fourth temporal ring. And now I will attempt to explain that in english.

1) The Forward-Backward ring: This paradigm is about always moving forward, not backsliding or looking back. The associated afterlife theology is the ressurection. The opposite of a believer in God is an Atheist. To which occupies the backend of this ring, the ultimate past, nonexistence. Since they cannot acknowledge God they become as though never created.

2) The Left-Right ring: This theology tends to think time is not real, there is only one eternal now that we continue to reincarnate into. They have been turned "sideways" spiritually. To them there is the yin and yang, the dark and light, but there seen as right and left.

3) The Up-Down ring: This dimensional ring is about moving either up or down in the world, and in the afterlife, which are fanciful heavens and dreadful hells. I give this one to the various spiritual hierarchies in the world and to the demons/aliens in space working with those under the earth. As nonexistence, death would be the ultimate down for an atheist, so they often wind up in this ring moving up in the world.

Summary of the rings: for the purposes of afterlife theology they are, death until resurrection, heaven/hell, nonexistence, and reincarnation. These are really the only afterlife theologies we have.

So my best guess is this - Once, when I was swordfighting I was moving backwards until I fell into a fountain and went unconscious. I awoke instanteously in the car with a massive headache. So maybe death will just be a brief unconsciousness, though a lot of time would have past until the ressurection of the just to reign with Christ, and then the ressurection of the wicked to be cast into an eternal place of torment. And since God's people generally fit the first ring best, I tend to think it is the most likely conclusion.

But theres more...

The forward-backward ring is actually the temporal ring and the two other rings... can form a full circle on their own. The true forward and backward are temporal, not directional, and directionally speaking those are the same as sideways. We started with the one that was real, but satan pulls us sideways, down, and backwards. God only pulls the right way.

Therefore I will say the following:

"Look not towards the stars of heaven, nor the idols of the earth. Neither look to the side to your brethren, but be filled with he who is Alpha and looking forward to he that also is Omega and the salvation that lies ahead."

"Worship not the material world of the senses nor anything in it. For the world was made for man, not man for the world. Quantum mechanics has sown us that reality does not exist unless it is observed, it is God's spirit breathed into life through which all reality is created just as all that we see is but light producing a picture within our own brains. Know that he is that within you is greater then he is that within the world."

Interesting analogies and a different way to come to a spiritual conclusion.... :scratch: :idea:

From the Adventist perspective, you have the death till resurrection part down, however there won't be an eternal torment but a decisive final destruction of the wicked.

Do you have some scripture to prove a decisive final destruction of the wicked? (not looking for sarcasm, just respectful insightful communication)

To live forever, whether in heaven or hell, you would have to live forever. When Adam and Eve sinned God removed them from the garden lest they eat from the tree of life and live forever. Eternal life is a gift to those who believe unto righteousness, not the unbelieving wicked.

Mal 4:1-3
For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.


But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.

Job 21:30
That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.

Isaiah 1:28
And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.

Zech 14:1-12
1Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.

2For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
5And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
10All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses.
11And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited. 12And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

Rev 20:7-9
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
