Afterlife in the Abrahamic religions

>>2741148

The afterlife is quite complicated at least in Christianity. In Christianity, we die and are sent to the divine realm, those who believe are taken to heaven to abide with God, while those who disbelieve are put into Hades(?). Though when Jesus comes back, the bodies of the dead shall be raised up, the natural body was buried and the spiritual body raised instead, in which God will judge us, either to be with him in a new Heaven and Earth while those who rejected him are sent to Hell to be tormented (depending on which Christian scholars, it can be for eternity or they could be annihilated)

It's not specifficaly about being reunited with one's family. It's about being united/in communion with God and ALL other people in heaven, while Hell is being isolated from God, spending eternity without love.

You're tortured and laughed at for believing liars even tough you could derive from their priests and followers that they are evil people, then if you are lucky, you reincarnate and try again.

I can only really speak to Judaism, but beliefs in the Afterlife are contradictory withinit anyway, so there's no one answer. The two most common views, at least within Orthodoxy, are a semi-Christian idea where you die, your soul is judged, and you're given an eternal sentence. The only major distinctions with Christianity are the basis of judgment (it's based on actual deeds, not faith in Jesus), and there's a view that "hell", eternal punishment, is something that's reserved for the very worst of sinners, not a normal sentence at all; most get condemned to a kind of purgatory until the soul is sufficiently cleansed to enter heaven.

The second view is less judgmental and more automatic. The belief goes that you die, your soul leaves your body, and attempts to adjust to an existence where you no longer have a body or a brain to filter experience through. Life on earth is primarily an attempt to train people to adjust to this sort of existence, which is easier or harder depending on how you were as a person.

How did they get people who worshipped their own ancestors to convert to a belief that states their ancestors went to hades for lacking Jesus?

Probably why there are not many Japanese Christians.

Right then I knew you had no idea what you were going to say.

Revelation 20

The Great White Throne Judgment

Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.

Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

1%, and a lot of those are Catholics that are twice as as lost as the Shintoists.

1% is a lot when you start at zero. Imagine you're in a room of 100 random nationals, then you can be sure at least one is a christian.
