You'll be new to your surroundings and people around you.
I think that "you're" still alive.
I think the lady said the condition was permanent. Therefore, the old person is dead. Let's say that person accepted Jesus as their saviour and loved him with all their heart. But those memories are gone.
Now this new person that developes, doesn't know Jesus from Jack and becomes a critical thinker and is impossible to convert. In fact, becomes just like me, a hard core atheist that firmly belives the Christian god to be a monster and lunatic.
So, after a few years, the person dies the physical death.
1. Does this person who died twice go to heaven despising god or go to hell despising god?
2. Where's the equity in all this?
And so it is with me. I was born an atheist. In my youth I accepted Jesus as my savior, loved him with all heart, soul, mind and strength. Then I woke up and realized the truth. So, I abandoned Jesus in favor of better values and a critical thinking mind. A mind that despises the monster lunatic you call god. So, one could say the old me died and I was spiritually born again, again. In a few years, I'll die. Where will I go?
I'll only say that if I go to heaven, there's going to be one very miserable god there.
