Default Re: Last Question From Me Regarding Religions

My religion is Christianity (Roman Catholic).

1. Yes

2. Assuming they aren’t similar to animals here (which, I don’t think have the same import to God as humans), then yes.

3. Yes, of course.

4. No, Jesus didn’t appear to me either. The other thing about Christianity that you seem to always disregard: Jesus, in our belief system, was not simply a person who did miracles and hung out and taught a new philosophy. To the believer, He is God incarnate. Perhaps, He would incarnate Himself there differently. But, it would not be necessary to incarnate Himself there at all (indeed, if He did, we have to regroup our theology -wouldn't change the basics, though.). Again, sending another John the Baptist-type isn’t the same thing. It wasn’t enough here. So, either they would have to rely on Jesus who came to earth or if God chose, He might (re)incarnate over yonder. Hey, maybe Jesus was the second or xth time God incarnated Himself. His reason for doing so would, of course, remain the same.

Now, getting into incarnating Himself more often gets into many complications relative to our religion. Namely Three Persons in One God thing, the Eucharist, etc. But, that doesn't mean that if we have new information, we couldn't try to figure out the theology relative to the new found data.
