One of the dangers of this new revelation is that after a period of time the powers of the world will conspire to take it back.
This is what happened to the Church of Jesus Christ.
When Christianity became the state religion of Rome it was modified to suit the purposes of the state - i.e. to keep everyone under control.
Thus it was that the unconditional love and forgiveness which Jesus taught was replaced by a system of rewards and punishments in the life to come - about which no one could know anything for certain.
And so heaven and hell were born.
Hell has always been out of character for a loving God.
But there just might be a heaven.
