You will not have your earthly mind then.
You will be perfected, so that if I were the one to have a greater
reward you would be happy for me.
I hope I'm expressing that correctly.
Theo, you really test me at times as I do not have a 'ready-reckoner

Every person of age should follow a Moral Developmental Approach to
Procreation, such as an article I wrote in 1980, and was reprimanded
by a senior person in the NSW Education Departments who said I was
trying to impose my views onto others.
Didn't matter about those who were trying to impose their ideas on me!

What about the resurrection that comes at the end of this age;
the righteous to eternal life and the unrighteous to hell.

You are again using an earthy situation;
that does not work for Eternal realities.
Jesus Christ is the only mediator between us and God.
I can trust Him -
the second person of the Triune God (one God Almighty).
What does the Bible teach about the Trinity?
