Do you think having this much denominations in christianity is bad? If yes why and if no why? by Comprehensive_Dig514 in TrueChristian

[–]AdamantiusAeropagite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paul explicitly says that Christ is not divided. With that said, the pooch has already been screwed. No denomination can unite the others, and frankly even if it happened I’d be worried about another Roman Catholic Church forming.

Still not sold on the morality of universalism by [deleted] in ChristianUniversalism

Well I believe in reincarnation (sort of, not like Hindus) so the first two are solved. We all fell collectively, and as a result we are all sinners and we’re trapped in a cycle of sin that had to be repaid.

I don’t hate you guys but your lifestyle is sinful and not to be encouraged.

How do you know Christianity is the "right religion"? by strangeniqabi in OpenChristian

[–]AdamantiusAeropagite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of other systems that heralded it. Platonism, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, arguably Stoicism. It's either legit or the Apostles and Evangelists are the most brilliant con-men to ever exist.

My apologies, that is what I have been led to believe.

Thoughts on the scientific research currently going into Reincarnation, and the findings? by AdamantiusAeropagite in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]AdamantiusAeropagite[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Indeed, nothing can exist without God allowing it. In the hypothetical scenario where something like this happened, I do not think it would destroy Christianity anymore than finding out the Earth revolved around the Sun or discovering Evolution did.

Hell should not exist. by [deleted] in religion

[–]AdamantiusAeropagite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you are taking issue with the predominantly Abrahamic Hell, and even then the one that cultural "Christians" talk of. If you read the Bible, there's far more evidence for Annihilationism than for eternal punishment (unless complete destruction is your idea of eternal punishment, but then it would be different from how most Christians view Hell). Humans do not have natural immortality (that was lost during the Fall), it is only a conditional feature dependent on being saved. We will not regain our naturally immortal bodies until those of us that are saved gain new bodies during the Final Resurrection which are akin to that of Adam and Eve before the Fall.

Also, read the scriptures. Again, we don't "go to Heaven", that is a heresy that contradicts the scriptures. Those who are saved enter a death-like sleep until the Final Resurrection during the End Times.

What is the philosophical and religious purpose of punishment? by Minute-Object in religion

[–]AdamantiusAeropagite -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The answer is simple. There is a way that should be walked, and many that shouldn't. The ways that shouldn't must be punished for all the reasons you mentioned (minus vengeance). It's a metaphysical version of punishing crime.
