Thank you for discussing this with me @freedompoint.
I think the main topic is the end of suffering but that following in Christ's footsteps will lead a person to discover that is the most important matter at hand - not pleasure I.e. Heaven or Paradise.
I think it is good enough to speak about easing and removing suffering in and of itself, but the Bible does have pointers. One of the pointers is when Jesus 'says' that he will give you his 'new name' in Revelations.
I believe his new name is:
- I Am
The 'Jesus' in 'I Am Jesus' was removed with the 'I Am' remaining by itself.
There is more than that but I believe knowing 'I Am' and more importantly, the Great I Am when even the 'I Am' is removed, is more valuable than remembering the storyline that the pointers were framed in.
I really enjoy your company 😊
