BetteTheRed ----Your Quote -----What is sort of interesting here is that I was blessed with a mystical vision that told me that I needn't worry about life after death. It was wyrdly detailed, and only relevant to my memory/history. It was inexplicable, unanticipated, uninvited. And ever since then, I've known, in my heart of hearts, in a way that one cannot prove, that after death, "everything is okay". I adore the analogy of a raindrop returning to the ocean; other people have different comforting images. For me, it absolutely is speculative, and completely "outside" of the life I feel called to live on this Earth today and the historical person of Jesus who might prod me in some right directions for living.

unsafe says ----Good Luck with your mystical vision -----cause God says there is Life after Death There are 2 Realms ---The Resurrection of Jesus was witnessed by people ----So now you prove that Jesus didn't defeat Death and there were no witnesses present to testify to this fact ---
There is not only the death of the body for the unsaved person there is the 2nd Death -----So Just because your speculation says there is no life after death doesn't make it truth -----So good luck on that as well
Your Quote -----the historical person of Jesus who might prod me in some right directions for living.
unsafe says ----The human person Jesus is no longer here to prod you ----and the Spiritual Jesus requires you to receive Him As your Lord and Saviour to have Him prod you today so unless you have the Holy Spirit indwelling in you God makes it very clear the sin keeps Him away from us -----Satan is the god of this world ----So Satan would be the unbelievers prod for living on this earth today not Jesus --Satan doesn't want people flocking to Jesus and will keep people in the dark about the afterlife -----He Loves Duping people ----
He laughs all the way to His Soul Bank -----
unsafe says ----IF Jesus wasn't raised from the dead ---Then Hell is for all of us cause we are all sinners and there is no place in Heaven for sinners ---only Saints get into Heaven -----so were all doomed if the word is not truth -----
unsafe says and posted scripture
So BetteTheRed ---if you want to argue with this scripture ---Talk to God --He Wrote It ------And He says His Word Is Truth ---Read the whole Chapter in Context for yourself ------I provided the link ----
Bible Gateway passage: 1 Corinthians 15 - Easy-to-Read Version
1 Corinthians 15:12-33 (ERV)
We Will Be Raised From Death
12 We tell everyone that Christ was raised from death.
So why do some of you say that people will not be raised from death? 13 If no one will ever be raised from death, then Christ has never been raised. 14 And if Christ has never been raised, then the message we tell is worth nothing. And your faith is worth nothing. 15 And we will also be guilty of lying about God, because we have told people about him, saying that he raised Christ from death. And if no one is raised from death, then God never raised Christ from death. 16 If those who have died are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either.
17 And if Christ has not been raised from death, then your faith is for nothing; you are still guilty of your sins. 18 And those in Christ who have already died are lost. 19 If our hope in Christ is only for this life here on earth, then people should feel more sorry for us than for anyone else.
20 But Christ really has been raised from death—the first one of all those who will be raised. 21 Death comes to people because of what one man did. But now there is resurrection from death because of another man. 22 I mean that in Adam all of us die. And in the same way, in Christ all of us will be made alive again. 23 But everyone will be raised to life in the right order. Christ was first to be raised. Then, when Christ comes again, those who belong to him will be raised to life.24 Then the end will come. Christ will destroy all rulers, authorities, and powers. Then he will give the kingdom to God the Father.
25 Christ must rule until God puts all enemies under his control. The last enemy to be destroyed will be death. 27 As the Scriptures say, “God put everything under his control. When it says that “everything” is put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself. God is the one putting everything under Christ’s control. 28 After everything has been put under Christ, then the Son himself will be put under God. God is the one who put everything under Christ. And Christ will be put under God so that God will be the complete ruler over everything.
29 If no one will ever be raised from death, then what will the people do who are baptized for those who have died? If the dead are never raised, then why are people baptized for them?
30 And what about us? Why do we put ourselves in danger every hour? 31 I face death every day. That is true, brothers and sisters, just as it is true that I am proud of what you are because of Christ Jesus our Lord. 32 I fought wild animals in Ephesus. If I did that only for human reasons, then I have gained nothing. If we are not raised from death, “Let us eat and drink, because tomorrow we die --33 Don’t be fooled: “Bad friends will ruin good habits.”
