Welcome back Packajos000 mon brave pax vobiscum, I trust thou hast journeyed wide and fruitfully across the middle sea of the firmament.

I am reminded in the theme of thy prose of my wanderings amongst the writings of Athenagoras circa 177AD. A Father of the Church, an Ante-Nicene Christian apologist who lived during the second half of the 2nd century. Little about of him is known for certain, other than he was an Athenian, a philosopher, and a convert to Christianity.

Indeed the question of whether death should be regarded as an extinction was considered and rejected by virtually all early church fathers.

'Hereafter, that the Judgment Passed Upon Him May Be Just. For either death is the entire extinction of life, the soul being dissolved and corrupted along with the body, or the soul remains by itself, incapable of dissolution, of dispersion, of corruption, whilst the body is corrupted and dissolved, retaining no longer any remembrance of past actions, nor sense of what it experienced in connection with the soul.'

Athenagoras, Chapter 20: Man Must Be Possessed Both of a Body and Soul)
