I do also think the vision, no matter how true it might be in essence, must be read "with a pinch of salt" and with the assumption that cultural ideas and even faulty memory could be influencing parts of the story.<br /><br />With regard to the demonic torments I think the theological idea is that in a sense the devil and his demons temporarily "own" both this world and hell. Thus until the Last Judgement they are free to torment those unfortunate enough to fall into their realm. Also the Colombians do speak (as others have done) of "a body of death" (one's aura?) which can feel. Jesus surely implies as much in the story of the tormented rich man in the parable of Dives and Lazarus and talk of wailing and "gnashing of teeth" in hell. Does one literally have teeth there? Well, perhaps if you have some kind of parallel body or aura! <br /><br />Perhaps you should get in touch with the Colombians and ask them some questions yourself about things you doubt or dislike in their report. They do have a website. I have myself never told them that these two articles were published as one article in New Zealand's "Investigate" magazine and I wonder myself what they might think of my astrological conclusion. You could also have contacted me personally about all these matters (I don't gather where you are writing from - Colombia itself?) but you have written with a no-reply address so I have had to write here.Rollan McClearyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06938125139496292379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699424480186588104.post-31639461460872888032010-06-29T17:56:13.434-07:002010-06-29T17:56:13.434-07:00I read the Colombian vision a couple of years ago ...I read the Colombian vision a couple of years ago and quite frankly, it got me depressed for a number of months. A couple of things I could never reconcile about this 'vision' is the description of the torments that were there. For example, they describe some of these torments as 'flesh burning off their bones' etc. I was always under the impression that spirits do not have flesh or bones. Didn't Jesus even make that statement after his resurrection? <br />Another issue I have is why the devil is free to torment these people. After all, he is the most vile and worst sinner there is, why should he get special breaks and privileges, but the dead have to suffer now? It seems a bit screwy to me. Satan should be chained up with the rest of them.Vincenzonoreply@blogger.com
