Three scientists\u2014Papaia, Banani, Ravioli\u2014and their assistant Igor, after a series of mishaps, finally arrive at the renowned Dark Matter Conference, but Ravioli, disobeying a plumber at work, uses an out-of-service restroom, causing a flooding in the conference center and canceling the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the return flight, the scientists are discussing theology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Hey, Ravioli, finish explaining the mission of Jesus to us! We had gotten to the final judgment and the book of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: Right. Basically, on the last day, all the people who have ever lived will be resurrected. Those not found written in the book of life will end up in the lake of fire, where they will suffer eternal punishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: So, the key question is: how does someone\u2019s name end up in this book of life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: And that\u2019s where Jesus comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Oh, really? How? Does he decide?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: And on what basis? Based on our actions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: If it depended on our actions, no one would be saved. We\u2019ve already said that all have sinned, that no one can see God in His glory and remain alive, and that we are separated from Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Well\u2026 maybe God could simply forgive us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: But that would be unjust, wouldn\u2019t it? God is just and must apply His justice in the judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Maybe He could just give us a certain number of years in hell to pay for our punishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: That\u2019s not possible, because the Bible talks about the end of time. After the judgment, time ends. There will be no more \u201cyears\u201d in the future, just an eternal and unchanging dimension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: So it\u2019s a definitive crossroads: either heaven or hell. And forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: So, if the judgment is based on the moral law and we\u2019re all guilty\u2026 is our fate the same for everyone?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: Exactly. The verdict would inevitably be hell, with no way out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Igor: According to the moral law, everyone deserves punishment… like a stay at the Sunflowerr Hotel or, for the worst cases, a trip organized by Papaia!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
