Is the death of the body a prerequisite for entry into the Kingdom of Christ, then?

Luke splits up the Sermon and draws the attention of the faithful to the central point in each part. Today, the reference point is how to live love. Faith and the essence of Christian ethics find their recognition. The criterion for veracity is love. In the previous ...
