Re: a question for monists

After death we are going to receive a perfect sinless body. If monism is
true there are no disembodied spirits. So what bodies do non-believers get?
If they get the same sinless body as believers, how can a just God send them
to eternal torment? If they get bodies that are corrupted by sin, how is
that universe any different than this one? Sin exists in both.

So, it seems that the most likely scenario, if monism is true, is that
everyone gets a perfect sinless body, or, only believers get one, and
non-believers cease to exist.
