150th Post Special - Interactive

I don't have anything that special to say, actually. In light of some recent musings around my personal spirituality and it's effect with others, I've been thinking a lot about the link that has been separated between the spiritual and the physical. There are other terms known as 'natural' and 'supernatural', or such ridiculous removals from the real world. The main idea that is communicated in this modernistic world, with clear objections from post-modernism yet silence from Christianity, is that we have life, and this world, and that's about it. When you die you're dead. Christianity has this extra bit, when you die, you're probably not dead. Of course I'm not talking about True Christianity, but about Traditional Christianity. The kind that when you say it there stirs a certain recoiling, and you think that it's a bad thing.

True Christianity has the opposite opinion of the world. Most people are dead, yet breathing. This has been coined as spiritually dead, but I want to take it further. If, when people meet Jesus they become born again, and new creations, then it's not enough to think that it's a work that is seperate from the body. The line cannot be drawn between spiritual and non-spiritual. The term natural, as I think about the Christian world view, cannot be separated from spiritual, because spirituality is natural, as is eating. It is more natural, in fact, for people to experience God personally, than for them to never have a life without at least one experience that doesn't fit with the physical laws laid out in science. I don't deny these laws, but I don't find them sufficient to account for answers that are being and have been searched for millenia. They answer the perceivable world (by the 5 traditional senses) and all it's questions. They don't answer origin, or justice, or imagination, or creativity. They don't answer the why questions, when we look at the human race. Why was fire so important to discover? Why was the wheel? Why do people need to invent things to do things that could be done by other things already?

I haven't communicated my conclusions very well because they're not there yet, but I would ask that there be some discussion. Help me to clarify things in my head by involving yourself in a discussion about spirituality and life.

Of course you could just lie in wait for an unsuspecting simpleton to say something you can jump on. But I'm hoping if discussion begins, you will be courteous.
