you see, now that right there tells me you know NOTHING about Christianity and what it means to be saved. No true christian is waiting around waiting to be saved from physical death of the body, so that has no implication of "shelving themselves from reality". Being saved or born again is a one step process of believing Jesus is Lord and God raised him from the dead on the third day, For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. no christian is "waiting to be saved", they already are in spirit, nothing is promised while on earth. You better wake up and quit with the gnostic garbage youre spewing and be born again a new creature in Christ of water and spirit to be in the world not of it.
