Thanks for sharing this. I’m a Christian, I’m 71, and my Mom was the person I’d go to first with any questions or doubts I had. Not long ago, obviously before she died, I was lying next to her in her bed, and I asked Mom, “What if someone who has been struggling with salvation dies?” She said, and I’ll never forget, that to us, going from life into death is a split second. But to Jesus, time is irrelevant. Right then He can meet and commune with that person, and of course, being Jesus Christ, Jesus knows him(her) intimately. So, during that encounter, who knows what miracle of salvation could occur?

I have no doubt that’s true. Mom didn’t have slavish faith, she had knowing faith.

We are born again Christians, not Catholic or Protestant or the other decades long established groups. Just believers in Our Lord Jesus.

"Comfort is a universal value among creatures with intelligence."

I think it depends more on if it's a social animal or not, not intelligence. It's an evolutionary biological mechanism for survival.

You can find highly intelligent animals that are solitary, and do not value "comfort" in the way social animals do.
