Pope Benedict sent Limbo into Limbo and declared it didn't have enough support.
So let's take limbo off the table.
Christians fellowship and worship as if in heaven in a sense though Christ.
Hebrews 12:21-22 21The sight was so terrifying that Moses said, "I am trembling with fear." 22But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly,

None of the above. I'm living on earth.

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Depends on how the day is going.
so you're stating their is a fourth state of spirituality? is it somewhere between heaven and hell?
did god create this earth separate from heaven? so separate from god?

This is your first mention of any specific "states of spirituality." I'm actually living in Salt Lake City, which is in Utah, which is in the United States of America, which is in the Western Hemisphere and also the Northern Hemisphere, so I guess that means, according to your logic, that there are at least nine "states of spirituality."
Yes and yes.
I only believe in 2 states of mind. God created heaven and Earth together. Mankind created hell in it's dualistic thinking.
You're claiming 9?

That's an interesting perspective. Thanks for sharing it.
As I said, you never mentioned any "states of spirituality" in your OP, and it was to your OP that I responded. I'm not "claiming 9"; Don't put words in my mouth. I'm using your logic to come up with that number.
the definition of state from the oxford english dictionary is:
the particular condition that someone or something is in at a specific time.
i used that understanding in the OP given what i know about western religions.
you listed more than 3. it shows how the mind/spirit works in distancing itself from inclusion of possibility. instead of coming closer to god you mentioned "yourself" in respect to increased division. i did not.
the OP was not meant to be personal in it's inquiry. i think you doth protest to much. in fact, you are the person who went further with your own logic.

Wrong. Not surprisingly, either. You and I seem to have a really hard time communicating. Perhaps we'd be better off not trying.
i'm not attempting to be disrespectful or personal.
i did not state more, or less, than the original OP of three. You added a fourth and then ensued to add even more. That isn't my logic. That was your assumption and statement.
I asked a question. A question is not a statement.
you made a statement and continue to do so.
i made a statement that "of how the mind/spirit works in distancing itself from inclusion of possibility. instead of coming closer to god you mentioned "yourself" in respect to increased division. i did not."

I believe I am living on earth during a cycle when evil is permitted.

I believe God is everywhere so we are never separated from Him. Earth is in heaven but is not in Heaven. Spiritually I am in the Kingdom of God.

I believe Hell is not a state of mind or spirit but is simply a place.
