My response to the video "What happens after I die?"

The following notes are written in response to the video on "What happens after I die?"

When we die, our body returns to the ground and our spirit goes back to be with God. (Eccleciastes 12:7)

Heaven and hell are metaphorical, because Jesus said the kingdom of heaven is in each of us.

The word “hell” is actually not in the original languages of the Bible. The Hebrew word is “sheol”, meaning “grave”.
The Greek words are “Gehenna”, “tartarus” or “hades”.
These words are used in the context of the end of the Jewish old covenant age in AD70.
Neither of them refers to the afterlife.

Bottomline: Jesus did not die to save us from a so-called “hell” and go to “heaven”. He came to save us from the illusion of separation and show us we are already one with God.

God is love, and love keeps no records of wrongs, and love never fails. This is the foundation of our gospel (good news) of grace and peace.

"Be still and know I am God"

God is Love and we are God.

Love is who we are.
