RE: You cannot escape the physical reality and this is actually a very good news!
I'm in full agreement with your analysis of all the escape route people try to invent in order to escape reality, except for suffering/Christianity.
I want to clear the notion that the evidence of Christianity is suffering, it is not, that notion is a lie from the pitch of hell. It is those that either do not understand Christianity or trying to use it as a cover for their failure in life that portray Christianity that way.
Christianity is indeed the religion of reality, it is a religion of true love which you later mentioned as the only way to enjoy the reality.
Can I now say, Christianity is the only escape route since it revolves love... God is love, remember
If their is one thing that should be paramount with Christianity, it should be love and not suffering. Whether you are a Christian or not, if you fail to do what you ought to do, you are inviting suffering, been a Christian does not stop one from doing the needful. Failure to do the needful would definitely make one to suffer
I am a Christian, and I find fulfilment in my work with God, it has helped me to love myself more which I can now express on others. Loving myself and others is now too natural to me. Love is my understanding of Christianity and not suffering.
I talked about been addicted to certain things in my previous comments under your post, I'm now completely free from them as a result of my faith in Christ, isn't that beautiful about Christianity?
Those who suffer for religion chooses suffering deliberately....
Love is the only way out....
Christianity has beautiful concepts and has saved many souls.
Now it's archaic and no longer relevant.
Isn't the dogma of Christianity saying that humans are sinners and they should turn to Jesus to be saved, Jesus who saves the sinful humans from their sins?!
Now I understand what you are trying to proof, but their is absolute nothing old about Christianity, I speaking of something I know, something I have experienced and something I am still experiencing. The concept has never changed from what it used to be, yet it is still relevant, that should proof a point to us all.
Christianity is not a doctrine but a relationship, don't miss a church goers for a Christian, you can proof Christianity, you can test it, you can question it until you know it. Jesus indeed came to save the sinners and he is still in the business of saving them because the world has not been totally purged of sins.
Look at all the killings around us, every evil practiced by people all over the world, do you think Jesus business is over while all those acts continue.. The natural man is polluted, he needs the wash of God through the blood of Jesus to be whole. No matter how I try to explain this to you, you can't understand it as long as you have the same mindset about Christianity. But I pray the word I'm speaking becomes illuminated in your heart.
I'm not defending Christianity as a religion or a doctrine, I'm talking about Christian as a relationship, ask anyone who has grown their faith to the level of relating with God, they will tell you their is more to Christianity than just a religion.... Ordinary church goers can never understand this because they chose not to.
This is the root of our different opinions.
Man is good at heart, man is beautiful at his/her core self, man is not a sinner.
Any religion (Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hindu etc) who claims otherwise lose my sympathy.
I welcome plain and simple notions; I despise institutionalised structures that mostly care for their survival and power.
No need for argument...lol
Whether you welcome it or not, always have it in mind that Jesus loves you, He loves you so much.
His words exactly last time we met👍
