Eternal life in spiritualism

According to the Spiritist Doctrine , the man has a spirit that survives the eternal death of the physical body and evolves towards ever greater perfection. The spirit embodied in a physical body as many times as necessary to reach a level that will then allow him to remain eternally in a spiritual world Eternal life, the dogma of the Catholic Church

This theme of eternal life is one of the four themes of the creed (the others being the Trinity Church and the forgiveness of sins).

The "creed" ("I believe" in Latin) is a text that sets out the Catholic faith ("Catholic" = universal in Greek) from the beginning as the Apostles' Creed and the form of the Creed of the Council of Nicaea -Constantinople (AD 385).

"I believe in eternal life" is an article of the creed in the form of the original Apostles' Creed, prolonging the article "I believe in the resurrection of the flesh", hence the term "flesh" refers to man in his condition weakness and death, redeemed by the "Word made flesh."

The creed according to the Nicene-Constantinopolitan professes himself the "Resurrection of the Dead" and "the life of the world to come."

This means that the final state of man is not only the spiritual soul from the body, but that the mortal bodies will be asked to come back to life, the last day, incorruptible .

However, "eternal life" begins before the final resurrection of the body: "Life is eternal life that begins immediately after death" for the immortal soul which is separated from the body, it falls into corruption.

"The life of the world to come" refers to the fact of life after death. Beyond the question of life after death exists mainly the issue of individual judgments and conditions of this life: purgatory, hell, paradise.
