While I appreciate your sincerity, you completely miss the point of my post, which was directed to a Catholic.
The traditional Catholic teaching is that the final end of man is a "spiritual" paradise and that the material universe G-d created in the beginning will be annihilated. This is related to their belief in a purely "spiritual messiah" (a contradiction in terms) and their rejection of a literal King Messiah who presides over a literal messianic kingdom on this earth, which will at some future point be rejuvenated into "the world to come."
My question was purely rhetorical, demanding a defense of this "spiritualism," not because I was soliciting advice on what to believe.
Thank you for your kindness.
Tracking back, I do see I missed the sense of your post #15.
I’ll try to keep up.
