This is my first post here.
I was reading a site about Christianity when I got this information. The site says that Lord Jesus Christ promised eternal existence in heaven if a person sacrificed himself for others and held on to Jesus Christ's ideals. What I want to know is that there is no proof of afterlife or heaven. In those times, any man could have said that he was the son of God and would provide entry into heaven. There was and is no reason to believe in heaven. Only faith. I know that many say faith is enough but decisions cannot be made on the basis of faith just like a church's construction cannot be on the basis of faith. You cannot build a religious structure hapharzadly thinking that some divine power will hold it up if you have faith in it. So how can one know whether there is a heaven or not?
P.S.:- Many say that the fact that Christ performed many miracles is proof of his divinity. But there is know historical record and these stories of miracles could well have been conjured up.
Please correct me if I have been wrong in any of the facts above.
