Another Bible verse that enforces the idea of triumph over death in this poem is “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die” (John 11:25-26, New International Version). These are just a few examples of why his Poem has Christian influences. The Dream of the Rood also has Paganistic elements as well. There is a talking tree, which is similar to how Pagans have talking elements or spirits.
However, John 3:16 clearly states “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life”. (New International Version Bible, 2014) With that being said, I feel that belief is the only way to heaven, or should I say your gateway into heaven. You have to believe that Jesus died for your sins; you have to believe that Jesus rose from the dead, lastly and most importantly you have
Religious/Non-Religious Reasons for Belief In The Afterlife Belief in the afterlife has spread across many centuries and has played on human’s minds since time began. No matter what religion you are there is an in-definite theme of what will happen to you after your death. Many religions use belief in life after death as the core of their beliefs i.e. in Christianity you are taught that if you live a good life, you will be rewarded by going to heaven after your soul leaves your physical body. No matter what religion you are part of, many people have a strong belief that this isn’t the only life we will lead, and this is only the beginning.
This day is, according to religious teachings, everyone will be resurrected and judged by God. Problems are already raised from the mentioning of resurrection through a spiritual body or physical body. This being that with resurrection through the physical body, would the soul be resurrected into the same body that had been previously lived in or would it be an entirely new physical form. This would cause problems with the loss of individual identity and raise the question of whether a person who lived a life of physical impairment, would they be resurrected in the same form? Christianity claims that evidence of afterlife specifically resurrection can be found in the New Testament in regards to the resurrection

Many believers do not count the cost of following Christ. One is told to accept the free gift of eternal life, repent of sins, join a church, and then learn to do the best one can concerning all the rest. One is usually not told about the cost of being a Christ-follower, nor does one have much of an idea of what God expects of them now that they are saved. Stewardship is entirely based on the first commandment, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind” (Holy Bible, NIV, Mat 22:37). Stewardship is the product of one’s new worldview that is brought about by one’s conversion.
According to Christians, Jesus Christ is known as the Savior of the world, and the Son of God. He came down from Heaven to free the people from their sins. Gandhi was a leader of India, who was an extreme activist that wanted to make the world a peaceful place to live. Because of my strong Catholic faith, I choose to follow Jesus Christ. However, this in no way means that I do not believe in everything Gandhi stood for.
When I think about Christianity, the passage of scripture in Hebrews 11 vs 1 comes to mind” Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” Christianity is made up of true believers who has that Faith to know that Jesus Christ is the son of the living God . He died and rose again and according to the book of Revelation he is coming back for us to take us to Heaven to live with him eternally. The word Christian comes from the Holy name of Jesus Christ. In Hebrews 11 vs 26, they were first called Christians in Antioch.. As Christians we are guided by the Bible which is the word of God.

They regard the Bible as their word of God and beliefs in continuing revelation is why this book of scriptures is accepted as official doctrine. One thing that caught my eye was this unique belief of sealing powers of the priesthood can be together forever. What this means is that those family ties that are established while on earth, will continue into the afterlife. They believe apostates, which are if they had a testimony; they will be cast into outer darkness. The others, who leave Mormonism, must never get a testimony.
Confucianism is not only a viable alternative to Christianity, but can be combined with and work in harmony with its religious aspects. The founding aspects of both religions are completely different. Christianity centers around the worship of a single, all-powerful God and the study and guidance of the Bible, the inspired word of God.
