Бессмертие души

Machine translation from the original · Show original
Before people were illuminated by the light of Christianity, they had the most crude and false ideas about the immortality of the soul; the greatest sages of paganism only inferred and guessed about it. However, the heart of fallen man, no matter how dark and dull it was, constantly felt, so to speak, its eternity. All idolatrous beliefs serve as proof of this: they all promise a person an afterlife - a life either happy or unhappy, according to earthly merits. We, short-term wanderers on earth, need to know our destiny in eternity. If, during a short wandering here, our concerns are focused on eliminating everything sad from ourselves and surrounding ourselves with everything pleasant, all the more should we be concerned about our fate in eternity. What does death do to us? What awaits the soul beyond the limits of materiality? Is there really no retribution for the good and evil committed by people on earth arbitrarily and involuntarily? Is there really no such reward, while evil on earth for the most part prospers and triumphs, and good is persecuted and suffers? It is necessary, it is necessary for us to reveal the mystery of death and see the future of man beyond the grave, invisible with bodily eyes. You might be interested in:
