[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hold to the Orthodox view of original sin, i.e. the unborn inherit the consequences of sin (mortality and death) but are not considered guilty. In Christian eschatology, the immediate afterlife is just a temporary waiting place and we all await bodily resurrection at Christ's return. God is gracious and merciful; you can entrust your children to God.[/quote]

I believe in the Christian concept of Apokatastasis, the restoration and renewal of all things in the physical world. While I believe there is a temporary place of comfort immediately following death, the point isn't for your disembodied soul to be in a disembodied "heaven" for eternity. When Jesus talks about the Kingdom of Heaven, he is not talking about disembodied souls going elsewhere, but he is talking about heaven come down to earth, which commenced with the resurrection of Christ and will be completed at his future return. That is the new heaven and the new earth, and why we pray "on earth as it is in heaven." Jesus came to save us from physical death and bring us eternal life. To misunderstand heaven is to misunderstand the meaning and significance of Christ's bodily resurrection.[/quote]
