“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”), experienced the hellish state as humanity (wanting to be solidary with us to the end in everything, even to descending into hell) to the greatest extent, which no one among humans had ever experienced (there is no state in which a person could not find the Lord: You are in hell?! – And at the very bottom of it, the Lord is there!). The Lord also accomplished salvation in II f., as He Himself testified: “It is finished.”. And III f. – the revelation of the fullness of God’s Love.
Thus, the Lord, having incarnated, restored the unity of God and humanity in His hypostasis, uniting them forever: indivisibly, unchangeably, inseparably, and undividedly. The Lord saved us, making our essence once again Spirit-bearing. “By death He conquered death” – that is, by His life in the body, in “leather tunics” (having passed through all its death-births) the Lord absolutely and forever deified (seated at the right hand of the Father) human essence. Death as a falling away from God is destroyed – there is no longer any possibility of falling away from God (this path of departure from God is destroyed forever). That is, the path of falling away from God no longer exists! We can no longer fall away from God, no matter how hard we might try to do so. Therefore, the most fundamental death (in the literal sense of the word) is destroyed – no one can ever die by it (fall away from God) again. The last enemy – spiritual death – is destroyed! The enemy, which separated us from God, – is conquered; hell – has become paradise! Therefore, the only obstacle that separated us from Happiness – is destroyed!
A few words remain to be said about the last obstacle on the path to Happiness – death as a desire to fall away from God, which tries to realize itself in the commission of sin. Since this desire (to fall away from God – consciously or unconsciously, it does not matter) will never be realized, to destroy this death of sins, it is enough to repent (to stop sinning – doing senseless, unnatural acts, and to turn back to the Lord). Repent (and if you have not yet been baptized – be baptized in the name of the Holy Trinity) and be like God – live Happily! Repent! Stop banging your head against the wall of nonexistence, turn around, return to the Lord and Live!
Let’s say something about “eternal torments.” If I was healthy in I f. of existence, then I am born into II f. of existence potentially happy, and a proper life according to the commandments guarantees me happiness in the flesh. Proper, righteous life in II f. of existence creates conditions in III f. of existence for an even more blissful life. But if I am sick in one form of existence, then I am born (unless I cure the disease, wounds, sins) into the next also sick, but the pain increases proportionally to the perfection of the form of existence. (For example, if some disease torments an infant in the womb, then in this (II f.) form of existence, as this form is more perfect than I f., the pain and torments from the same disease increase: with the increase in self-awareness, mental torments are added to physical ones; similarly, we reason about III f. of existence). That is, in each subsequent form of existence, pain and suffering increase. Therefore, we say that beyond the grave, unrepentant sinners (who have not healed their sinful wounds, passions) await torment. Because they are sickly (in a sinful, illusory state) they transition into III f. of existence, where their sufferings (pain from unrepented sins) multiply infinitely, i.e., increase. But for the righteous: movement from joy to joy, from bliss to bliss.
The more perfect a person becomes (with the transition to the next form of existence, which is more perfect than the previous one), the more they feel hell (similarly: pain in each form of existence intensifies and suffering accordingly increases). Until the Nativity of Christ (more precisely, the Incarnation) hell objectively existed in all forms of existence and people felt it differently. Now objectively hell no longer exists, people create it for themselves. Therefore, hell will not begin after the grave, it will only open anew for us, if we do not repent and stop creating it again and again (it is a vain endeavor to build what God has destroyed; but there are creatures who still want to engage in this empty business). What God has destroyed, no one will ever rebuild! (What great joy!).
Hell is destroyed, death is destroyed (killed) – humanity is already deified, seated at the right hand of the Father in the Glory of the Holy Spirit. Hell now “exists” only as long as a person tries to rebuild it for themselves! Repent – and there is no hell! Repent – and there is no death caused by sin – and Live Happily!
The devil taught people (and they themselves are very “creative” in this area) to fear what does not depend on them – the transition to another form of existence (from II to III, – this will happen sooner or later – so it depends on us only to postpone this event, of course with one purpose – for repentance, but certainly not to avoid it, because God is Love). And what really depends on us – being baptized into the Death and Resurrection of Christ – not to sin, but to live Eternally by faith (hypostatically) (“He who believes in Me and lives, will never see death”) – we do not fear this. The devil and his children have reversed and continue to reverse everything. Instead of fearing to fall away from God – this depends on us: to choose sin or to fight for life in God by zealously fulfilling Christ’s commandments, we fear God’s providence of Love and “save ourselves” from Him by committing sin!?.
