With respect Blazn, it's okay for you to think like that, but unless you are in possession of some superior spiritual vision in comparison to other people, I don't see why it has to apply to everyone else? Logically I see no problem in communicating with saints via prayer, as long as your...

"There Is No Way To The Father Except Through The Son" Are those who follow God's instructions not also to be counted amongst His Sons? With this understanding, the meaning would be - "if you want to approach God, then first approach someone who knows about Him (i.e who is His Son), so that...

Re: Theosophy: Can we agree that tormenting people for all time is wrong no matter w Hi Thomas, ditto for the beliefs of my tradition... what you say above is in-line with Vaishnavism. ... Neemai :)

Re: Theosophy: Can we agree that tormenting people for all time is wrong no matter w Originally Posted by Nick the Pilot Buddhism and Theosophy see suffering as a key part of being a human. Isn't this simply a statement of fact? Each of us has to suffer to some extent during this human...

After some searches on internet, I found these links useful in giving the Catholic perspective: http://www.catholic.com/library/Praying_to_the_Saints.asp http://bfhu.wordpress.com/2007/04/21/why-do-catholics-pray-to-mary/ I don't wish to spark off some kind of on-going argument on this. Just...

So Jesus's mother is dead in your opinion? No eternal life in Heaven for her untill resurrection day? Not that I'm a Christian, but that seems a strange thought to me. I'm trying to get my head around the different perspectives. With prayer being primarily defined as a form of communication...

Isn't this just a difference between Catholic and Protestant approaches? I assume that many Christians of a Catholic persuasion will pray to Mother Mary, or great Saints to ask for their blessings or help in serving God. As long as you did not mistake these persons as being God, then where would...

According to the Bhagavata Purana the world becomes like a ball of burning cow-dung! I thought that was a nicely put! SB 12.4.6: O King, upon the annihilation of the material elements, the universal egg, comprising the elemental amalgamation of creation, is confronted with destruction. SB...

According to Krishna in the Bhagavad-Gita death is simply a change - as you mention above. Specifically He says it is a change of body. Death is the termination of bodily function only - our true self being eternal: "As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth...

For criticism of part 1 see: jesus_similarities "Zeitgeist" Online Movie: Part One Refuted IMHO the innacuracy of certain statements in Part 1 undermines the later two episodes. There may be some truth in it, but they are not helping themselves by sometimes relying on unreliable sources...

I'm unable to view the video as sound doesn't work on this PC, however, a quick perusal of Ergun's website came up with this link in resources: http://www.erguncaner.com/home/resources/images/Jehovah_vs-_Allah.pdf I personally disagree with his approach in this instance, it reads as a very...

Hope no-one minds me posting, but this was always my favourite from reading the bible many years ago: Mark 12:29-31 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments [is], Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with...

It's interesting how life appeared almost 'on cue' such a short (geological) time after it became available for habitation? That could be a thread itself maybe? Although I've read that some people give later figures of around 2.5 Billion years ago - and there seems to be some contention on the...

Hello IAF - interesting post. Personally I would agree, as so many times things which I have seen as major problems or difficulties, have ended up turning around to be spiritually beneficial in the long-run. I don't think this means that all such experiences are going to turn out like this, but...

Having watched a number of my nephews, neices and cousins growing up I would agree that their general personality was observable, even from a very early age. As one who believes that we are all eternal souls I wouldn't put this all down to genetics.;) I have also witnessed people who have gone...

From the East side: "in a humble state of mind, thinking oneself lower than the straw in the street; one should be more tolerant than a tree, devoid of all sense of false prestige and should be ready to offer all respect to others. In such a state of mind one can chant the holy name of the...

Re: -----====ooo000ooo====----- There's some more pictures here on Graham Hancock's website: The Official Graham Hancock Website: Gallery It was his show on C4 in England where I first heard of them. There's rumours of a city off the North-West coast of India also, which many believe to be...
