A Metaphysical, Spirtual World?

[kuwaizair]

Because the "signs from God" topic is careening into a different direction, it is high time for a more fit topic.

I have saved people from the "off topic demon" by leaving this open to all faiths and saving people from being boxed into the topic of particular religions or a "is there a Heaven and does Jehovah want me there?"

Here is where you can debate spirits, angels, damnation, reincarnation, Summerland and what not.

Living spirits, Vengfull ghosts, and anything that pertains to it. Evidence for and against such and comparing and contrasting faiths and how alike one's god will be to another's.

Have fun, keep it clean and watch out for misinformation! (wikipedia I am looking at you!)

I've had an interesting thought going around my head for a little while now. This isn't necessarily my belief, it's only a postulation.

This is Christian based.

Granted that God is outside of, or has control over, time couldn't it be possible that when you die He transports you through time to the rapture. It mentions in Revelations that the graves will open up and the sea will spit out the dead, which gives support to this theory.

There are things we dont understand in this world. I am not a religious person at all, but howewer, i am a bit a man of faith, i like to think things happen according to something. The opposite would be too chaotic and random. Things do follow a pattern, in my opinion (very abstractly said), but if it is due to a superior being, a God, ETS, just evolution, etc is something that should be answered the day we die (at least if there is something after death), but honest, I am not in a hurry to know :*laugh*:

i look at it rather dismally. any chance of proving metaphysical existence will never happen in my lifetime. granted if there is and i die and something happens to my metaphysical existence then i'd have no need for physical proof at that point.

basically i don't care if there is or isnt, since i'll never know until it's too late.

I am confused. Really. Although I believe in God and I am Christian. After death is kind of perplexing for me. In Christian beliefs, people said that good people will join God in heaven. There will only be happiness in heaven. While bad people go to the fires of hell.

I don't know if it is a Christian belief but some people say that there is a life cycle. All living things reincarnates after their death. It might take thousand of years because of the population. Some people might get reincarnated into animals and vice versa.

About, Deja Vu. Some say Deja Vu is a repeated experience that heppened in our life or past life. I had this experience once. I think that experience was the reason of my being claustrophobic. I was getting cornered by my male classmates. Of course, they weren't really going to do something to me but their eyes looked really aroused. It seems they wanted to rape me. When I again looked at their eyes, deja vu occured to me. There were guys of number just like my classmates cornering me. Their eyes was just like my classmates' eyes. The different thing was the guys in the deja vu were naked. I was so scared so I shrieked. My classmates asked me why I shrieked even I knew they weren't going to something to me.

That deja vu never happened in my whole life. It wasn't an imagination. I'm sure of that. I think it's my past life. After that event, I always get so scared whenever I'm cornered by chairs, tables, people and other stuff. I just hate it.

Of course, I still have faith in God. I believe that he will still lead us to heaven. But I was always thinking of my deja vu happenings. It perplexes me. I'm not in a hurry to know. But if we had a past life, did we even have the chance to know what happened to us? What if we won't really know what will happen after death? Hmmm.

The Christian belief in 'comming out of your graves' is not about being a zombie. Using Christ's rise from the dead as an example, when people raise from the dead they will recieve a new 'resurected' body. That's why Christ was able to walk through walls. You might say that He was God and so He could do what He wanted; however, He chose to be bound by human limits when He was born of the Virgin Mary. Which in turn is justified when He gave the Great Commison and said "greater things than me", meaning that signs and miracles would be performed that would be greater than those that Jesus did and are recorded in the Bible.
