How Christianity is RADICALLY DIFFERENT from Other Religions

We tend to think of religion or spirituality as a flight from the body in order to reach God. But think about it. Christianity represents the exact OPPOSITE movement. . . It represents God taking on a body to reach us. What does this mean?

Thank you for this profound reminder of our Catechism! You should be elevated to the Episcopate because your are a GREAT teacher of the faith! Thank you, thank you!

One difficulty here is the lack of definition of flesh/body and this problem continues to the ressurection when there is again no definition of what the body will be.

Also why at the death of the body do we say “when we die”. Christians believe we continue on. There is no death. Either we live in eternal torment or eternally with Christ. There is no death. There is a transformation of the flesh. But this is not Christian theology. Very confusing bc of the lack of definitions

Is Christianity a Western institution of religious idealism? Perhaps in general it is. From the time ancient Roman Empire took up Christianity as its religion to the present U.S. empire it can be shown that Christianity has been an idealism and institution of the changing Western empires.

Christianity is different because:

1) There is NO SEXUAL INTERCOURSE IN HEAVEN because men and women will not be married to each other in heaven (Matthew 22:30).

2) There is NO CHILDBEARING IN HEAVEN because God said that he would give the eunuchs a name and place better than sons and daughters (Isaiah 56:4-5).

And so, a lot of people reject Jesus because of these two.
