AFTER FOREVER (Black Sabbath)
Written by Geezer Butler - Black Sabbath, bass player
Lyrics
Have you ever thought, about your soul, can it be saved?
Or perhaps you think, that when you’re dead, you just stay in your grave.
Is God just a thought, within your head, or is he a part of you?
Is Christ just a name, you read in a book, when you were in school?
When you think, about death, do you lose your breath?
---
When you think about death, do you lose your breath, or do you keep your cool?
Would you like to see the pope, on the end of a rope, or do you think he’s cool?
Well I have seen the truth, I've seen the light, and I've changed my ways.
I'll be prepared, when you're lonely and scared, at the End of Days.
When you think, about death, do you lose your breath?
— Solo
Could you be afraid of what your friends might say, if they knew you believed.
They should realize, before they criticize, that God is the Way.
Is your mind so small, that you have to go, wherever they run.
Will you still sneer, when death is near, and worship the sun?
When you think about death, do you lose your breath?

Here’s a summary of the core ideas in "New Man Bible Theology" by James Slobodzien:
Core Ideas of New Man Bible Theology
The “New Man” Concept: Rooted in Pauline epistles (Ephesians 4:22–24, Colossians 3:9–10), the book emphasizes spiritual renewal—putting off the “old self” and embracing a new identity in Christ. GOD has created you as a NEW Creature in-Christ. Your Old Self is dead.
The Body as Temple: Slobodzien proposes a “Cosmic Paradigm Shift” where Jesus’ body replaces the physical temple, and believers themselves become the living temple of God through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Your Body is a cell in the Spiritual Body of Christ. Your Mind and body contain a reflection of GOD's Holy of Holies.
Salvation by Grace: The book reaffirms salvation through faith in Christ’s blood, challenging traditional religious structures and rituals. The blood of Jesus, confirms his complete and perfect sacrifice for our sins, and is one of the main focal points of the Bible. His central role in God's plan to redeem humans was foretold in the Garden of Eden and represents Scripture's first recorded prophecy (Genesis 3:15).
Psychological Integration: Drawing from his background in clinical psychology, Slobodzien introduces concepts like the “Batman Effect”—encouraging believers to adopt a heroic alter ego, the “Higher-Christ-Self,” to enhance spiritual confidence and transformation.

Universal Spiritual Principles: While grounded in Christian theology, the book acknowledges truths like the Golden Rule across world religions, promoting unity and love beyond doctrinal boundaries.
Faith Reconstruction: It serves as a guide for those disillusioned with institutional religion, encouraging a personal relationship with the “Living Word of God” rather than external observance.
