Eschatology Flashcards
Beatific vision
Arrived at through grace
Capacity to relate to God
Does not cease to exist with the body because it has nothing to do with the organs
Human soul
Rationality of the Will comes from the rationality of the intellect
Death
Separation of soul from the body. Judgement is immediately upon death
Particular judgment
Confronted with our sinfulness with our guilt and evil that we have done and its effect on us and others, which then we are purified
all souls who go to purgatory will go to heaven, but all souls in heaven didn’t all go to purgatory first
At the end of time
We will be reunited with our bodies but they will be different, incorrupt
Damned bodies vs. Blessed bodies
Damned bodies are capable of suffering
Blessed bodies are not
New creation
Occurs after resurrection. Everything good is re-created, new heaven and new earth
Intermediate state
Time between dead and rise from the dead
Immediately upon death you are judged and then heaven or hell
Resurrection
Re-creation of our souls
Time
Measure of change
Purgatory
Confrontation with Christ the judge. The purification of the soul before heaven
You can’t go to hell from purgatory
Hell
Deprivation of the beatific vision and the remorse of the conscious. The pain of sin
Eschatology
Study death, judgement, purgatory, heaven, he’ll, resurrection, new creation
Can’t sense anything without
A body to sense it
