Hi again! On the spec it also says in the bullet points: whether or not heaven is the transformation and perfection of all creation. What does this mean? what would one write on an essay for this? Is it just heaven being a literal place or not?

I dont see anything on the ocr spec on reserection. How come a question could come up just on this?

If we were to get a question tomorrow about judgement happening straight away would we juts compare heaven/hell with purgatory using relevant stories and quotes?? also thank you for all of your videos and livestreams they've really helped me :)

would you need to discuss Dante when assessing belief in afterlife!?

[micheal_cera_lover]

Hi, I was looking at the specification and there is a question on whether or not God's judgement takes place after death or at the end of time. How would you suggest approaching this? Thanks

Do we need to revise the discussion questions separately also? Thanks :)

Hi Amy, just had a thought… does Calvin philosophy of the ‘elect’ and not knowing that you are the ‘elect’ tie in with Kant? If Calvin believes that it’s best to be a good christian, work hard etc, and then in the end you will know if you’re judged; is this like Kant’s ‘treat as means not ends’ in a way? As Kant would also think [if he was arguing for this] that we have to follow our duty [as Christians] and keep in line with our duty so as to not treat people as means (and the whole universalisability thing of if everyone did this…). I’m not sure if I can link this, but I just thought it might be a… thought. [I sent this on your membership website, but I wasn't really sure how to see if there was any replies- or if it got to you...)

Hello, how would you recommend answering whether heaven, hell and/or purgatory are physical or not?

[eliseperkins-cf]

can you make a synoptic link with the parable of the rich man and Lazarus by signifying aquinas natural law and how it is above human therefore he would possibly believe in survival of the fittest 'dog eat dog' and furthermore counter with divine law being the highest so in actuality behave like christ in preparation for judgement.?

For the renewed spiritual body you could talk about the body Jesus resurrected with, all his scars and cuts were healed it was just the holes of the nail thst was Left in his palms and his feet, you could then say that this shows the significance of the cross and the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross inordere to allow other Christian’s to have a renewed ‘ spiritual body’
