Failure to Notice Where Devotion to God is Supreme in Eternity

And herein is the stark distinction between recognizing a Deity that has witnesses to the true basis of a love for the Deity; and a deity that does not show compassion for those who are forced to submit without knowing true love. What is further obfuscated is what to expect when the mortal dies and entrance into the promised existence cannot be described in prideful human terms.

Mankind's image in eternity is spiritual; and mortal cravings for fleshly appetites (lasciviousness, arrogance with no respect in relationships, issues of to whom servitude is due) are not the true promise in an eternal existence where devotion to the True Deity is required in obedience to the love of the Eternal Sovereign. Pursuit of fleshly appetites of lust is not what being in eternity is about; worshipping God is.

This is what the Sh'ma is about; obedience to Hashem in His demonstrated love of the sacrifice offered through His Anointed Savior, Yeshua HaMashiach. Eternity is spent in an obedient love of God, not to be dissipated in fantasies of limited lusts with even the most captivating of the feminine objects of desire. Love is not represented in lust; lust in prideful flesh is a distraction and delusion against true service to the True Deity.
