No need to relive it, I feel it now and have changed. Sop no need for a special future where we feel it again. God gave us the ability to feel it now and ... repent.
Yes we can deal with it now or deal with it later. I suspect everyone will have at least something to deal with later. Some more than others.
As you wish . . . but I think having to relive and experience everything you "dished out" (either knowingly or unknowingly) to everyone you hurt in life might be a VERY tedious "regret" class. As you become enlightened and truly feel the righteousness and power of pure agape love .. . and then contrast it with your life and attitudes while learning what it feels like to be on the receiving end . . . you might not be so dismissive of it as a consequence (weeping and gnashing of teeth).

I agree . . . but not everyone does it! That is the relevance of reaping what we sow.
Mystic, I don't think people truly understand the ramifications of reaping what you sow. Thus it is brushed off as some sort of "regret class".
In many minds the only punishment that would do is eternal burning, because that is fair.

But they are not living with it while in their human mind . . . not knowing and completely understanding through the eyes of God and pure agape love. Of course, while still in the corrupt state of mind they have no basis of comparison and are oblivious. There will be no such obliviousness after death and no human excuses and rationalizations to rely on. Shame will be absolute.

It is true that my psychological profession did contribute to my extrapolation from what the Bible DOES say under the guidance of the Holy Spirit (Comforter), Finn. I know that Sola Scriptura folk frown on using any knowledge more advanced than the 1st century to interpret the Bible. We can just agree to disagree, brother. Peace.

All believers read the Bible under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, so there must be other reasons why you see things so differently.

Yes . . . it is called education and for Sola Scriptura folk it means using the dreaded "wisdom of man" along with what is "written in our hearts." The other reason is a lack of bias and open sincerity. We take NO "precepts and doctrines of men" with us when we query our heart. We don't want to tell ourselves what we SHOULD find there according to dogma.
