Death

[fr0d0]

I know, I wanted you to start preaching, at least then I can understand what you actually believe.

However, the heaven thing does seem a bit odd. I've heard Christians talk about heaven beginning right here right now, but they still believe that it will continue after death. So if death is the last thing to you, do you believe in the immortality of the soul? Or do you think the soul dies when your body dies, since there is no heaven to accommodate it?

I didn't say there was no Heaven, just that it was this life, not after life.

I accept the concept of the soul. I don't understand the implications of it being immortal. It's part of God so has the attributes of God I suppose.

I'm prepared to accept that I'm not correct on the complete definition of Heaven. What I do know though is that it's insignificant to the point of non existent in the motivation of Christians.

And as I said to you before that makes your beliefs not mainstream Christian.

Like I think I replied before, I've heard it preached by the leaders of church leaders, to very large multi denominational groups. I have never heard recently anyone suggest that the afterlife as the prime motivation for Christians. It's always a supplemental, take it or leave it bolt on that's just 'nice'. Nothing more.
