How do you differentiate between Isaiah and Jesus? IMHO, they were both messengers of God. The Old & New Testament speaks of prophets as being confused. Examples: Deuteronomy 18:20, But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded him to say, or a prophet who...

Banana, I hope that you will forgive my nosiness before I respond to your last posting. I am curious, your literary ability is like poetry in motion, are you an author? The reason I’m asking is, a little over two years ago, at age 60, I was subjected to 2 spiritual experiences that dumped a...

Banana, I apologize for my insensitive comments. I posted it after having a bad day. I asked Brian to remove any part of it that is inappropriate. I will mellow out. Namaste, Kurt

Would Voodooism & Wicca be in that category?

I am close to being in complete agreement with Abdu'l-Baha except that "prophet" was often used when the correct term should be "Messenger of God". Messengers should not be deified; the message has merit but also is open to misinterpretation by the messenger, hence we have religious divergence...

Since you don’t consider giving any credence to anyone else’s belief or religion, why then do you have interfaith dialogue. Apparently your antiquated belief in a God who meddles into the affairs of mankind is reinforced by your religious conditioning to the point where you have to write G!d...

Temporarily hold off on the stoning until it is deserved, if you please. I accept your challenge. Correct me if I'm wrong. Orthodox Jews believe God taught the Oral Torah to Moses, and he taught it to others, down to the present day. This tradition was maintained in oral form only until...

Muslim Ideology How can we change Muslim religious ideology to stop terrorism? A fanatic passion to please God has been demonstrated throughout the Ages. We have seen vast destruction and useless killings by religious zealots that have followed us into the present century whereby even...

I submit that after several thousand years of irrationality applicable to the Judeo-Christian antiquated fundamentalism their beliefs are still mostly based on superstitions and they are stuck in a inescapable chasm that is deeper than most holes. Our earth is just a tiny speck in the...

The spirit is in the subconscious and often controls what one writes and thinks. The soul and spirit are often considered identical, though the soul has also been referred to as the vessel for the spirit. The only physical effect that we can derive from the Spirit of God is by way of us...

Litany of Disillusion The Torah is the Hebrew name for the five books of Moses-the Law of Moses or the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Bible. The Torah is believed by Orthodox Jews to have been handed down to Moses on Mt. Sinai and transmitted by him to the Jews. It laid down the...

Rationality and logic should eventually eliminates all superstition. Fear of an uncertain future has been instilled in many through conditioning. Truth and logic require a foundation, the foundation being our realization that our forefathers intentions for our soul's continuity was their...

IMHO, people still have a tendency to want to see magical performances or prophecies from God when this actually is the mind's interpretation of the spirit's spiritual inteteraction with God. The mind's translation thereof is often inaccurate due to its clinging to subconscious superstitions or...

IMHO, prophecy, physical revelations & visions, & God performing magic on earth are the results of superstitions & these beliefs have mostly been or should be eliminated in our modern societies. God is spirit & only interacts with our spirit. IMHO, like myself, you should consider yourself a...

Really? Would you rather remain yoked to the illogical, irrational perception of a God of our forebears? Do we not now have chaos because of the Islamic fundamentalist belief that Allah/God will reward their efforts to promote Islam by any means possible? I prefer to be unyoked & have a...

1. Blanket condemnations of all religion? In this 21st Century, the Age of Technology, we are still plagued by religious beliefs that may be a contributing cause of terrorism, killings and wars between nations. Belief in a God who causes catastrophes, punishes people and who created the...

There is only one God but many concepts and interpretations thereof. God providing a new message is God's option, unrestrained by any specific time period. This is providing guidance through his messenger; it is up the recipient to accept or reject this message. Guiding mankind's development...

Hi Ariel, I do believe that your spirit has had intense spiritual experiences as mine has. There will always be future messengers of God as long as mankind exists. I was wondering if your mind has eliminated ALL religious conditioning and superstitions in order to clearly receive the so-called...

Art, within your words lies the rationality & logic that will eventually prevail, but not in our lifetime. Spirituality shoud be the basis of all religions rather than their own interpretations of their particular messenger. Kurt

Hi Bruce, the "battling" I was referring to was meant to be "mental confrontation". See #17. Kurt
