I see. Im Buddhist, but I know some Christian beliefs.

Very nice

I enjoy philosophy, I can see some aspects of faith as limiting when followed blindly. I was taught to question things, even faith.

That's good , we believe that too

Atheists annoy me due to the fact that they think "Oh, well nothing can be known thus your faith is false, lol XD!"

It's a cringy and shaky foundation to build your house.

they only use their human mind and perceptions, they believe they are their body. but the body is a vessel, the human spirit is our human aspects, and the soul is us

mybe christian is a bit different but could be some parallels

Their points go against themselves since none of that science is solid proof

It's just fancy word theories

yep, but like Crazed said , it just explains this plane/world

Which is fine to study, but its not everything

I believe we are descendants of a divine being, a heavenly father, and were given bodies so that we could learn to see the universe from a veiled perspective so that we could appreciate the works of our father. When we pass, we await our bodies and spirits to reunite for all eternity, to have both perspectives and achieve a pure and complete soul.

One life?

However, as we grow on this earth, we can become tainted by sin and the greed of man. If we choose to partake of sin, we lose the appreaciation we have for our divine creation thus losing the ability to be whole again. This world is temporary but our existence is eternal. Depending on how we live in this one, we will influence how our eternal lives are.

Depends on how you define life @Solid Sar

Ah I see. My religion doesnt believe in eternal Hell. Meaning there is always chance to work up to the next plane of existence.

I just meant lik you are only born once here and one chance, in CHristianity?

We were "born" millions of years ago when our father conceived us, but our bodies were born here on earth.

The afterlife as I see it is broken into two separate parts, which can be divided further.

The first part we experience is without our bodies, as spirits. This can be divided into paradise and prison.

is the pre-earthly existence the same as the afterlife? or a different plane?

Similar, but not the exact same

think of a child, innocent and pure. Can they appreciate the world for what it is or are they somewhat ignorant?

We are destined for this life much like school, so we are taught and matured through our experiences. When we die, it is like stepping out of college into the wide new world waiting for us.

@Solid Sar this is a better way of explaining it.

sorry i ws AFK, ima read it now

is this all christians belief or a particular sect?

What trash is that

I think he’s just saying a whole lot of gobbledygook @Solid Sar

are you christian too or something else?

@Deleted User ok can you prove it

@Crazed Shotgun no atheist ive ever met says that

Ive mostly seen theists play that card

@Solid Sar just my sect.

We just have more doctrine than most Christian sects, which is why my personal belief is that The New Law (New testament) overrides the Old Law (Old testament) unless otherwise specified or spoken about by Christ.

Your personal belief is like, mainstream christian

Lol

I'm not a Christian either

@Shalopy while some may find it mainstream, it was a belief I came to from my study of scripture and prayerful thought.
