“It is more difficult to change after you leave your physical body. Not impossible, but difficult.”
So they won’t necessarily burn in torment forever. That’s going to disappoint some people here:)
There is quite a bit that I am purposely leaving out to not rile up the legalistic believers here who think they have all the answers.
There are three stages to spiritual development if the soul and rigid legalism is the lowest.
The second is a spiritual ego that thinks it is God..
The third is the transcended person who has a direct experiential relationship with God and lives to serve God’s will.
The soul’s consciousness changes substantially with each level.
