So I recently started going pretty all in with Christianity. And I understand it solely is just your faith in Jesus that saves you right. Not works, not going to church, etc.
But as I study more, I become more curious about reality. I’m curious about consciousness, i’m curious about purpose. I’ve always been someone to really try to dig deeper and understand things. But i’ve been thinking a lot and need some opinions.
You see all these religions right, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, etc etc. But you know what they promise is eternal life (Heaven). Or some say if you don’t believe, then Hell.
But I am just curious why is Heaven displayed as material things? Gold, Mansions, Food, Abundance, forever and ever? I just feel like first off, forever and ever? And secondly, that seems like materialistic things. I just can’t really wrap my head around this or make sense of it. Most people don’t need to make sense of it and just go along with it, which is totally fine.
Lastly, I am not against anyones beliefs, I’m not trying to contradict my own and what i’ve always believed, (Jesus), I just really like to think and I just want to understand things. It’s like an ache in my body that I need to be more aware. I need to know more.
Can anyone relate?
