Do you believe in retribution in the afterlife?

[Bumperstump Cummerbund]

I (we) don't - 'The wages sin pays is death' Romans 6:23. Then you have Acts 24:15 which says, in part, 'there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.'

So we believe in a resurrection that takes place after Armaggeddon, not an afterlife that happens as soon as someone dies. This comes from Ecclesiastes 9:5 - 'For the living are conscious that they will die, but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, for the rememberance of them has been forgotten.'

Enough scriptures for you? That's it in a nutshell, happy to discuss further though, as always!

Oh you have intrigued me again Keike! So, no afterlife at all?


As for me, I don't believe in retribution after death. I believe that your rebirth is on to a path where you have lessons still to be learned. So, your behaviour in this life reflects the lessons you have not learnt, or still need to learn, and thus you are destined to follow a path to learn them. It isn't about retribution, it is a learning curve, and some of us have learned different things to others. So if you are a jackass in this life, your next will be to teach you how not to be. How those lessons are taught, though, is another point entirely.
