My answer is based on the Christian worldview, but I don't claim
to know everything...
I think this is said in reference to those who died before
Christ's ascension. Every person that has accepted Christ will have
his soul saved, and death would not matter. Those who died before
Christ's ascension did not get the chance to accept Jesus as their
personal saviour, hence, the need to resurrect the dead in order
for them to be accepted into heaven.
faith healers, in my opinion are really faith healers. not con man
or such, i believe that when you have faith in your belief,
miracles happen. as such is it really God healing the
sick?
There are people who believe that all faith healers are conmen,
and there are faith healers proven to be conmen. Mere believe in
something does not necessarily make it true. If faith healing is
true, there must be a higher power (note that I did not say
positive or good), because faith healing enters the realm of the
supernatural - ie doing something beyond the natural confines of
the human body and it's capabilities.
NOTE: no where in my reply am I inferring that all "Christian"
healing is true, or "non-Christian " healing is false.
all those countries who have not been reached by Christianity, are
they all doom to hell? what about in the past, we know China's
religion was Buddhism. does that mean all of those who do not
accept Christianity be doom to hell?
Strictly speaking? Yes. In your example, China's religion is
wasn't exactly Buddhism. It's a mix of Taoism as well Confusionism
plus some dosage of some other philosophy. Having said that, I
believe that it is mentioned in the Bible that God judges a man's
heart - for those who did not get the opportunity to hear the
Gospel of Christ. Therefore, the true answer to this question is -
it's up to God.
another thing is, i believe in all religions, yet i stick to my
religion as a buddhist because i believe in loyalty to your
religion, and also because i am the only male heir in my family. i
dont know if there is reincarnation, nor if the afterlife is really
hell or heaven, but what happens in this sense? since i believe in
all religion, or to say i believe in God, a superior being, that we
humans have no way of understanding.
Whatever that makes you happy, dude....
I am also the only son in my family. My parents is a mix of
buddhism and taoism. They are not overly concern over what I
believe. Over the years, they have become aware that some of the
stereotypes of christianity do not exist, eg, visiting the
ancestors grave during Cheng Meng - I insist on doing it. My
personal view on this? We choose what we believe in, independent of
our family members and our traditions. Again, whatever that makes
you happy.
also Christians are Christians, why the different branches of
churches? why so many?
Logically, there is only ONE church. However, due to human
weaknesses and the imperfect world, some denominations emerged
because of differences. Others are just a natural course of events
and should not be translated as conflict within the church (but
there are some that happened because of conflict). An example of
this is Methodism.... this is really an off-shot of Anglican. The
name Methodists is derived from John Wesley's (who died as an
Anglican) methods of Bible study and discipleship.
There! I've said my peace.... icey can fill up anything that I may
have missed
