Document Summary

Eschatology: study of the end times with regards to christian ideology. Christianity is very concerned with the end times, from the beginning of time: in christianity, there is no dual presence. We believe that good and evil do not exist in harmony or in a sort of balance, but rather because god lets it exist. In hell, satan is not in charge: the afterlife is divided into the following categories, heaven: Very few go here; primarily saints: purgatory: Those that have made mistakes and repent through time. You suffer according to your sins and work to get yourself out of hell. (this is not an actual christian doctrine, nor biblical. Was invented for the purposes of keeping people within the church despite fear of hell. ) Almost everyone goes through purgatory to have a spiritual cleansing and revival to get to. God once you are ready to be with him.
