Doctrine and Dogma arising from misunderstanding of Revelation is that sinners burn forever in a hell of fire and brimstone; this is a lie arising from both Catholic and Protestant clergy, one of whose mission is to keep their respective flock within the fold of their respective churches.
Rather brimstone symbolizes cleansing, and the fire represents the refinement of the soul, cleansed of sin, which is redeemed when it returns to the Godhead. Indeed, this implies the goal of purity for which Revelations is the metaphor.
Yet few Christians are taught how to use Scripture, not to occult truth, but to reveal the truth relevant in their daily lives, due to the old-school doctrine schooling them into becoming "sheeple" fearful of doubting the word of a priest or other "man of God".
Much of what constituted modern thought in the Common Era was omitted from the Bible so as to prevent confusion over the early Church's admission that reincarnation is a one-time reward for remaining pure and free of sin.
For what are the born again but incarnations of their pure souls by the grace of God? This however is not guaranteed after baptism but after death, according to Revelations.
All of Revelations is thus metaphorical, and totally occluded of truth in the minds of the literally inclined. Why? Because the literal interpretation of Revelations has led to the doctrine of an eternity of hell as fire and brimstone when in the original Greek, it was accepted as a temporary abode from which the living made offerings to their priest to help ensure that the souls are released from Purgatory and ascend to Heaven, and given a prayer to snatch those souls from the depths of Hell.
How else do you explain the use of candles and memorial prayers for the dead both in the Church and in Protestant churches who adhere to the Catholic model? Such a cult of the dead is proven by the tabu regarding the dead amongst Christians.
Those who have brains, please use them.
