Re: Hell (is) on Earth - and the Dark Void is a bazzillion catrillion miles from Heaven
It's okay if you're irritated with me, Alan. The spirit of irritation is just merely one of your attachments here on Earth. I got a million of 'em.
Now, then - you thinking that Earth is not hell is merely based on your Christian perspective.
So, of course, you NDE would be from a Christian perspective - because that is what your perception on Earth has been.
As to the particular Jewish references you made, they too, - as with any negative thought, have nothing to do with Heaven.
My point: I am not saying that Christianity is the only "religion" that mispercieves the truth of God=Love. There are MANY religions that misperceive the truth of what is God=Love.
Remember: It was those of the Old Testament who worshipped a god that allowed Moses to have molten gold poured down the throats of women and children...and it was the Old Testament god who turned one nation against the other in war.
And it wasn't until Jesus was sent by God=Love that the world was introduced to the truth of LOVE.
Unfortunately, the "Church" became involved - and created "Christianity" (which is a word that is not even in the Bible anyhere) - and the Church placed themselves in the center - and knocked the God of Love to the side.
And remember, too, it was the Catholic Christian Church that has been responsible for some of the most horrendous crimes of murder that goes beyond anything that Hitler ever did in the Holocust.
