add.
Only if one were senile or lapsed into some form of mental disorder or such like and thereby could no longer remember that one were a child of God. Obviously, if one were merely religiously Christian, in a nominal sense and not elect, then such forgetfulness might be a blessing. For to be self-deluded into a place of apparent safety and to enter the afterlife would be most terrible indeed but to have forgotten what one never really had would be the correct state to go from this world into the next.

I wonder then if one might be greeted with one's complete self as it were in all it's glorious religious foolishness, in the afterlife ? Having lost one's senility therefore, would only offer comfort in this life and not the one to come.

I guess I should cast these cares upon the Lord and not bring my miserable blues to bear down on this forum. Sorry fellas, I guess I should cut back on the caffeine and stop reading so much of 'Heaven and Hell' by Emmanuel Swedenborg. Right ?
