“If They Be Filthy ... They Cannot Dwell in the Kingdom of God”

George Reynolds, Janne M. Sjodahl

The judgment of God is not the arbitrary dictum of an Autocrat; it is rather a careful selection, a classification and an assignment of each soul, to the place and condition for which he is best fitted, on the evidence of his own thoughts, words and acts in this life. It is an eminently just judgment. "Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments." (Rev. 16:7)

"Does not the soul, then, when in this state, depart to that which resembles itself, the invisible, the divine, immortal, and wise? And on its arrival there, is it not its lot to be happy, free from error, ignorance, fears and the wild passions and all the other evils to which human nature is subject?" (Plato)
