You didn't mention your mind and spirit.
I assume those are terminal?
No afterlife for you?
Would you please do us all the courtesy of reading and responding to the OP if you might?
I have no interest nor concern in either validating your faith, nor dispelling your own.
I believe existence is terminal, yes. If youd care to provide (not pious/insistent claims
but natural, physical, existent and tangible evidences subject to the objective rigors of scientific examination and repeatedly testable and independently verifiable results) of
anything that has existed since the origin of the cosmos without termination to this very moment, Id be intrigued enough to give it my full attentions.
If you assert there is an afterlife, you are again invited to lend answer to the OP as presented
If God is a spirit and if Man is made in God's image then man might be spirit too and these vessels of flesh are housing the spirit. Maybe man's thinking ability has been PUT INTO bodies like valuable things are put into boxes.
s2a have you ever considered maybe the spirit came first, and next the body?
I don't know, I'm just saying.
Wow
so, its the chicken or the egg conundrum you offer?
What purpose does religious adherence to any faith-based belief provide if it can not/will not/ does not provide answers of irrefutable certainty? Would you care to share your understanding of what is revealed to you as the "correct" answer?
Science can not offer (nor is structured to provide) such desires/wishes of unequivocal and absolute certitude regarding any existentially philosophical musings
but, as you concede, you do not know
and thats ok
Or do you?
Actually, the crowds look to sin and do what is right in their own eyes. Heaven is freedom from sin.
Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. Matt. 7:13-14
Well, so
thats what so great about a Christian Heaven? Freedom from sin? That should earn many converts to seek salvation and redemption, no doubt
*ahem*
Just wondering
a little
Might we tender a premise that a redeemed, forgiven, and saved Christian simply lock themselves in a sealed room (avoiding all contact with other sinners), engaged only in daily conversations and prayer with God
and with more than adequate provisions of food and water enough to last at minimum 200 years
, then essentially placed themselves within a realm free of sin, thusly having achieved Heaven as you suggest/define?
Or is there actually a bit more
especially within the context of the presented OP itself?
LOL! That is correct.
I know that my god has been good to me. That is all I know. (For sure)
Bully for you. sincerely.
Care to proselytize your good fortune now to folks not so blessed?
You know, to the thousands of children that die everyday from preventable water borne illness, disease, famine, abuse, and forcible rape? If they question what a Christian Heaven may offer them as alternative to the realties they face everyday, what do you offer as killer sales pitch? What will or should they expect in that realm to last for billions upon trillions of years?
Hmmmm?
