Precisely, specifically.
Man completely united with God as one is expressed in history on this earth in the Person of Jesus Christ. Mere man not united with God is not altogether bad but not as glorious as man united with God.
So the real gift is for the created natural life to be united with the uncreated and eternal Person.
Much worse than good man yet not united is a fallen man infested with God's enemy Satan.
IN order of inferiority to superiority then:
1.) Man illegally joined with Satan - the lowest level ending in death, and under the wrath of God.
2.) Man not united with Satan but natural - better, and even possibly everlasting. Better but not yet the TOP blessing.
3.) Man mingled and united with God, organically one and blended with the uncreated Divine Person - the TOP blessing, best of all.

Nothing much in his criticism about my statements on

Originally posted by @sonshipDo you believe your God placed a longing for "natural life eternity" in the hearts of Muslims and Hindus according to the religions they profess too? Presumably, you do. Those religions offer answers to that supposedly divinely "placed" longing, as you know. Seems like a bit of a sadistic 'joke' that your ideology sees them getting hung out burning on chains forever when they die for not having the same religion [i.e. answer to the longing] as you, don't you?
To those who have natural life eternity is something of a longing which God has placed in their hearts.

Originally posted by @sonshipYou are a propagandist for your religion, sonship. Religions - like yours - are a construct that people like you need to make sense of the world. They are the product of psychology and anthropology.
"Religions" is sociological construct you need to make sense of the world from your point of view.
Originally posted by @sonshipSo you believe ~ according to your ideology ~ that your god figure placed the longing for an afterlife in the hearts of Muslims and Hindus, whose religions promote the notion of an afterlife that corresponds to that longing, and then your god figure plans to hang Muslims and Hindus out burning on chains forever and ever for being Muslims and Hindus? Blimey.
[b]And Muslims and Hindus are human being too. So what was put into the hearts of all human beings was also put into the hearts of Muslims and Hindus and Atheists. /b]
