Thank you for giving me this in-depth and insightful answer...I appreciate what you have said...Neil. As a woman of faith (and not religion) I will answer your question to the best of my ability and belief about Nada not knowing about Jesus and what eventually happens to her. Jesus is the son of God, but God is the mighty power and judge. Even as the judge, I believe God is kind and compassionate, and He understands not only our shortcomings, because He made us, but also our attributes and gifts. God won’t cast away anyone with a kind heart and loving soul who has treated others well, just because they don’t know who He is or who His son Jesus is. I don’t subscribe to the hellfire and damnation crap some extremists claim as truth in the name of religion. Most belief systems have faith in a higher power. They may not use the name God, but the idea is essentially the same. It’s the way a culture interprets the idea of a loving and powerful spiritual entity. God may very well be all of those various entities. What I believe is that God is love. Where there is love, there’s evidence of God. I have a diverse faith…faith in God, and also faith in Mother Earth. There is a power within the natural world that is not often recognized by common society. I think if Nada has a kind heart, and she acts with good intentions towards others, she’s going to a beautiful, loving place after she passes from this world…a place that people of faith look forward to, because it’s nothing like here…a place of intense beauty and immense love…a place where we are reunited with loved ones who have gone before us. After my boyfriend passed on, he confirmed to me the presence of an afterlife. It brought me great comfort during my time of mourning. |
