BroInChrist SG

hmm things that i have experience which cannot be seen and felt? off hand cant think of any... care to enlighten?

Things like love, fear, jealousy etc. Even the laws of logic would count as such. You can't touch or feel these with your five senses, but nevertheless you do not dispute them.

er... things like love fear jealousy can be felt wad... emotions can be felt cant they. Logic can be understood ma... but if we mention about afterlife, i must say i can't comprehend much about it and aint too interested to know about it. The focus shld still be current life and not afterlife for me lo... well... diff ppl diff focus so everyone can choose what to focus on.

BroInChrist SG

I was referring to the five senses, what we can see, touch, and feel physically. You were referring to physically seeing the afterlife, ya? But by definition that can only be experienced when you are dead, but by then you won't be alive to tell anyone about it.

[imdestinyz] SG

ya so becos no1 would be alive to tell it mah... so whether there really is afterlife anot to me is just a question mark. No one knows and cant be proven mah... then why bother focus so much on it. Focus on current life is better.

[imdestinyz] SG

if u can feel it emotionally, it can be proven to be existant also ma... i cant feel afterlife emotionally.

BroInChrist SG

if u can feel it emotionally, it can be proven to be existant also ma... i cant feel afterlife emotionally.

Emotions are personal to holder, subjective experiences which no one can verify empirically but only you can say is happening to you. But then when you are asking for proof you are not asking for subjective personal experiences, ya?

Bhw33 SG

People, there is an afterlife. We are made up of three elements - body, soul and spirit. The soul gives life to the body. It is the soul that we use to communicate to one another. I am writing to u know thru my soul. For unbelievers in Christ, the spirit is dead. Once a person repents of his sins and accepts Christ, his spirit is made alive. It is the spirit that currently goes to hell or death when a person dies. In the future, the resurrection of believers will unite all body, soul and spirit without corruption, then we will be like Jesus bec we shall see him as he is.

BroInChrist SG

No one...except Jesus who taught about heaven and hell, who backed up His words by His resurrection from the dead.

[imdestinyz] SG

but aint his resurrection from the dead already in questioned by some? he might have seen it loh... but i din... so i dun believe.

[imdestinyz] SG

"Once a person repents of his sins and accepts Christ, his spirit is made alive" so it means if ppl dun believe in christ, then his spirit dies? then he mus repent his sins and accepts christ? that means not accepting christ is a sin? er... me dun quite get it wor..

despondent SG

it means our spirit are already dead when we were born and needs resurrecting...in some religions, its called getting spiritually aware aka waking up the spirit inside u tat has been unaware all along...

[imdestinyz] SG

oh... so it means that the spirit was dead to begin with lo. so it is more of a waking up of it rather than the dying of the spirit arh.

despondent SG

yes...u need to recall the fact tat the spirit in man died when adam sinned...so until the original sin of adam is forgiven, the spirit in man remains dead towards God...

BroInChrist SG

but aint his resurrection from the dead already in questioned by some? he might have seen it loh... but i din... so i dun believe.

As in seeing is believing? Do you live by this criteria all the time?

[imdestinyz] SG

As in seeing is believing? Do you live by this criteria all the time?

nope... but for something as intangible as afterlife, i wld choose the seeing is believing rather than devoting my life to believing in something that is way to intangible.

BroInChrist SG

nope... but for something as intangible as afterlife, i wld choose the seeing is believing rather than devoting my life to believing in something that is way to intangible.

Since you conceded that it is intangible, why would you insist on seeing it in order to believe?

TrueSon SG

Demon Bane SG

I do believe that there's life after death....

despondent SG

To demon bane

When u say afterlife, u r referring to reincarnation rite? Cos I dun tink u consider nirvana as afterlife?

despondent SG

To BIC

He means tat he believes in personal evidence. Someone like tat would require tat personal divine touch from God to "convince" him.
