...but then people would have to implement rationality & think for themselves instead of thinking and believing what they have been conditioned to think. Righteous living, not whether one believes in God, will bring the soul to its destiny. Do you believe that you have a spirit or soul?

I suppose one can remain in a cocoon in Britain and live a life of quiet contentment while religious differences in the rest of the world are the causes of strife and killings. Why do you think radical Muslim clerics promote Islamic controlled governments? Ask your Muslim friends whether they...

Agreed. All religions that teach peace, love and compassion for others are basically correct & the souls of those who abide thereby & live righteously will reap their rewards...this however does not preclude the necessity to bring rationality into religions. We have improved our living...

...and I suppose that you arrived at your conclusion from my above statements: "The goal is to equally credit the messengers of God rather than to have each religion claim, "Our messenger of God is more correct than yours". The goals of ALL religions are the same; a deserved, appropriate...

Perception, dear Brian, is the key point. Sometimes one must look beyond what is written to see the truth. The goal is to equally credit the messengers of God rather than to have each religion claim, "Our messenger of God is more correct than yours". The Scenario The souls of a Rabbi, a...

Many prophets and messengers of God in the “Holy Books” claimed to have received instructions from God to convey to mankind. In my spiritual experiences (see my signature site below) I received no instructions from God, yet it was crystal clear what my delegated task was to be. My spirit felt...

Sorry, but ALLAH does not state anything in the Qur’an and Muhammad was NOT the last messenger of Allah. If you want to call Muhammad the last prophet, so be it; mankind has no need for any more prophets. Prophecies are the illusions of man. ALL writings in the “Holy Books” (Torah, Bible Qur’an)...

A misunderstanding. I assumed the term, "for you are a stiff-necked people” was applicable to Transcendentalists…it may not be a groundbreaking new idea now, but religious rationality will be a reality as soon as man eliminates superstitions…sheesh? How about mensch? Aren’t all Jews descendants...

Absolutely. "Google" - Transcendentalism Today, Kurt Kawohl, Kawohl & kkawohl an you will see the results of 2 years. Also in my writings at http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Culture/Showcase/Stories2/kawohl1_transcendentalism1_novel.html notice my lenghty communication with Jonathan at the Judaism site.

Yes we are a stiff-necked people who will pursue a designated cause until our demise. The Moshiach will be a descendant of the Davidic line (like yourself?) who will deliver Israel from foreign bondage. Ask yourself what position Israel is in now & what can you do to change that? The answer is...

If God meddled in the affairs of mankind then we would be born believing in God, but God never has and never will interfere with anything in the physical universe. God is spirit.

As long as the world exists there will always be new messengers of Allah/God. The spirit, when the mind is in mental stasis, can at times connect with the Supreme Spirit, as evidenced by messengers. (Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, Ahmad, Bahaulla, etc.) The mind's ability to interpret this...

IMHO, the spirit or soul exists in the collective mental processes of the subconscious the subconscious part of the mind and is also where the mental processes of creativity originate. The conscience adds to and stores life experiences into the subconscious of the mind which is the spirit or...

Truthfulness and rationality in religions are truths that can be substantiated by science or those that can not be proven to be wrong. Spiritual interaction is only possible between spirits. Claims of supernatural acts performed by physical or spiritual beings in the physical universe are not...

God's powers are limited to the spiritual dimension. God needs nothing from us & will NOT sentence anyone to hell or an eternity of suffering. No one needs to submit, pray to or believe in God. Righteous living will reap its rewards. Human fallibility and misconceptions have labeled God for the...

I agree that Buddhism has become an elaborate system of techniques, intellectual/philosophical ponderings, and ritual. Today Buddhists perform many rituals and practices that have little to do with what Gautama the Buddha taught. He traveled to preach the dharma (sacred truth) and was recognized...

Which Dharma are you referring to? DHARMA - Before we are born we have two choices as to how we will live our lives. Karma or Dharma. Dharma is also known as a state of grace by the Church or Christ Consciousness in New Age literature. On this path you choose your avenues in life because you...

The Ultimate Truth is indecipherable by the human mind and can only be divulged to the spirit which also often misinterprets its meaning, hence we have various religions and beliefs. Namaste, Kurt

Lao-Tzu was one of the great teachers of China who appeared and taught some little time before Confucius began his career. Tradition has it that there was a meeting between Confucius and Lao-Tzu, and that the former referred to the latter as a dragon, an ancient mode of referring to a master of...

God is spirit, not a tangible substance. Evidence is proof, something that shows what is true. Truth is established by testifying, bearing witness, attesting, declaring under oath that what is testified to, is actuality. In a court of law, as in civil action, evidence is presented and the...
