I think they will be manifestations of God's beauty and glory, and their holy souls, being pure, is emphasized to be pure, precisely because relationship to such pure beings is spiritual.
Quote:(Also, are the women who die also promised a bunch of virgin men? Just curious.)It is silent over it. It didn't say they won't, it didn't they say they will. So I have to remain silent over it as well.
Thanks for answering.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
