A:

Your question assunes reincarnation and the saving of your soul through works and proper living.

Christianity says that we are saved by grace and not by works. We live only once and then the judgement. Look into it and learn that reincarnation is a philosophy invented by man.

Aren't beliefs "invented by man" are all invented by God and man?!?

As of grace vs. works, I have to confess that I feel uncertain about what ou mean. ... I sure hope you don't mean that God loves only the beautiful! ... As for Piety, it is a virtue according to any well-reqognized religion.

I happen to believe in revelation, namely that God revealed Himself in the Old Testament, and completely in The New Testament by His Son. Of course you may say that I invented my belief.

Sorry you misunderstood what I meant by "grace". I meant it in the sense of an undeserved gift.

Yes, piety is a virtue, and I respect that no matter what religion the person accepts.

Peace

Yes, Peace.

Grace as an undeserved gift from God does imply aGodly rule by subjectivity. I believe that is what differsmost from the Hindu and Buddist (and so on) religions where the mightiest God rules more by objectivity.

What I would like is if wewere capableofcombining subjective and objective views!
