    Soul of Christianity, Atman of Hinduism and Anatman of Buddhism -A Reconcilliation!!!

    Re: Soul of Christianity, Atman of Hinduism and Anatman of Buddhism -A Reconcilliatio Ah, just a human being then, same as Lord Caitanya was. I remember I read ACB's book 'The Science of Self-Realization' about 30 years ago and was impressed at first, but then realized he was only saying a...

    Faith: Belief vs. Knowing

    Keeping the peace is a worthwhile job, and sometimes peace can only be kept or restored by tackling the people who are disrupting it.. "The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings palaces"- Proverbs 30:28 KJV US troops near one of Saddam Hussein's abandoned palaces in Bayji,Iraq 2008

    Soul of Christianity, Atman of Hinduism and Anatman of Buddhism -A Reconcilliation!!!

    Re: Soul of Christianity, Atman of Hinduism and Anatman of Buddhism -A Reconcilliatio Says who? A holy man or guru or mystic? What was his name, and what credentials does he have to make us want to listen to him?

    Why do so many religions focus on death?

    Ah but how do we know whether our current reality is the only reality? I've seen The Matrix several times but still haven't a clue what it's about despite Morpheus's explanation- "The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your...

    Why do so many religions focus on death?

    Yes, Jesus said the same thing- "Don't worry about your life, what you'll eat or drink or wear. Life is more important than food, and the body more important than clothes. Look at the birds, they don't sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet God feeds them. You're much more valuable than...

    Reincarnation: not RIP but BRB?

    Jesus was quite specific that there's no reincarnation back to earth, no second chances, no purgatory, no escape from hell. When we die, it's 'Game Over'- Jesus said:-"Then they will go away to eternal punishment,but the righteous to eternal life" (Matt 25:46)

    Faith: Belief vs. Knowing

    Mohammed said to stone adulterers, we can see it on youtube even today, is that "enlightenment"? I think I prefer Jesus's brand of enlightenment above anybody elses..;)

    Faith: Belief vs. Knowing

    Which of those Eastern traditions provide proof that it's the correct one? I mean, they can't ALL be correct, surely? What is this 'proof' anyway? Regarding Christianity, Jesus was solid flesh and blood seen performing mind-blowing miracles by the entire nation of Israel plus the Roman...

    Can belief in a higher power be combined with Evolution

    With my sensational theory, if we imagine reality as a vast spider's web, plucking it in one spot sets the whole thing jangling. Likewise bad unchiristian vibes in one area of the world can trigger hurricanes/earthquakes/cancers etc in that same area or another area at random.

    Faith: Belief vs. Knowing

    It's all a matter of personal conscience and soul-searching, so clearly Jackson thought his cause was just, as do other soldiers in other wars since time immemorial, only God can judge.. "Raise a banner on a bare hilltop, I have summoned my warriors to carry out my wrath..they come from...

    Reincarnation: not RIP but BRB?

    If the duendes and the astral humans are like ghosts, what'll happen to them when the sun vapourizes the earth?

    Faith: Belief vs. Knowing

    You'll have to ask Jesus about military figures yourself when you meet him mate, but as for rejecting the world, it's clear enough- Jesus said:- "The world wants you to dance to its tune......God has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners...to release the oppressed" (Matt 11:16/17,Luke...

    Can belief in a higher power be combined with Evolution

    Einstein said "Reality is an illusion, but a very persistent one" On that theme, perhaps 'reality' can be manipulated and bent to create what we would call miracles, and perhaps Jesus was a master of the art. Going further, perhaps 'reality' is a tremendously fragile thing which can be disrupted...

    Soul of Christianity, Atman of Hinduism and Anatman of Buddhism -A Reconcilliation!!!

    Re: Soul of Christianity, Atman of Hinduism and Anatman of Buddhism -A Reconcilliatio Certainly Jesus said "heaven is within you", but made it absolutely clear that he alone was the 'password' we need to access it. I mean, we've probably all got it within ourselves to be great banjo players...

    Faith: Belief vs. Knowing

    I was a born rebel, so Christianity came easy to me because it's all about rejecting the world. I drifted into becoming a self-styled 'internet evangelist' to take Jesus back from the boneheads of organised religion, and the feedback I get from people indicates I'm doing alright in that respect...

    Soul of Christianity, Atman of Hinduism and Anatman of Buddhism -A Reconcilliation!!!

    Re: Soul of Christianity, Atman of Hinduism and Anatman of Buddhism -A Reconcilliatio I think we all acknowledge we're very imperfect, so surely looking within our imperfect selves for 'enlightenment' is the last place we'd want to look?

    Just walk out of the religious groups if you don't like them..:) I've lost count of the churches I've walked out of over the years because they were a disgrace. The bible actually TELLS US not to hang around with fools!

    Faith: Belief vs. Knowing

    Firstly, if you've got a beef with catholics and the other fat cats of organised religion, go tell them not me, I rejected O.R. years ago and go my own way..:) If it's any consolation to you, Jesus said that he's going to say to many people who think they're christians-"Get away from me!", and...

    Faith: Belief vs. Knowing

    Firstly, Jesus spelt out the core beliefs of Christianity- "Love God, love one another, feed the hungry, house the homeless, clothe the destitute, tend the sick, visit the prisoners, look after the poor" And billions around the world think "Hey I like that!" and become Christians. After all...

    Soul of Christianity, Atman of Hinduism and Anatman of Buddhism -A Reconcilliation!!!

    Re: Soul of Christianity, Atman of Hinduism and Anatman of Buddhism -A Reconcilliatio Hinduism and Christianity have a few points in common but are diametrically opposed in many others. For example the Caste System exists under Hinduism, where low-born people such as beggars are shunned and...
