Luke 12-13

So, you shouldn't fear someone who can 'merely' kill your body, because after that they can't do anything more to hurt you (that part's true). But you should fear the one with the power to throw you in to hell, after your death. As I've said before, no part of our concious mind can survive the death of our body, so it really is pointless to promise heaven or threaten hell to make people follow your religion.

Thought thru?

You say that this scripture is only half true. May I suggest that it is all truth or no truth. If there is a here after then why fear anyone who can kill the body. We keep on living. But, if this is it then we should fear anyone who can kill this body. Once this life is gone then we are no more. we need to fight to survive. It's like the movies where the computer comes to life and will fit to keep from being unplugged.

I meant that it's true that someone who kills you can't hurt you any more once you are dead, and you should definitely fight to survive as this is indeed the one life we have. The scripture says that we shouldn't fear someone who wants to kill us and that's wrong, so it is just part right I guess.
