I have not read this whole thread but I just wanted to add the idea that maybe Jesus was answering the question more directly. You see, in Buddhism, the idea that the reason for being born in improvished place or, being born with some kind of misfortune is a result of past karma in a past life...

First of all, I take a Michael Tsarion, Jordan Maxwell, and probably William Bramley's perspective of the Adam&Eve story and Eden. What Jews call Anakim or Nephilim I simply take a Zacharia Sitchin's perspective of what the Sumerians call Annunaki, (Those from heaven to earth came). To me, the...

I am attempting to make sense of things in a way I find reasonable by examination. I want get a very basic understanding of the the three Abrahamic traditions , Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, about the nature of God, How to attain salvation, and Jesus. Beginning: So far I understand your...

Was anybody executed after the Bible was authorized? Were people still allowed to practice different religion without being persecuted? If I wanted to stick with Gospels that did not make it into the Bible back then, would I be in trouble of getting killed? What was the Spanish inquisition...

While we are at it, are there gospels that are not Gnostic? Or, are all the competing Gospels that did not make into the canonized Bible just from Gnostics?

There is a complex out there attacking Christianity as being credible. I have it that they're just saying that Christianity or who Jesus was, was diverse. Many scriptures in circulation. Then Paul came onto the scene and the romans at nicene creed, and basically decided what was Christianity...

I have not even began to search Wikipedia just to get an idea of things so, if my questions here are wasting your time I am sorry. Is there a Hebrew or a view of Revelation from a Jewish perspective? Does it differ in any sense from the Christian one?

I am certainly no kung fu scholar on Christianity but I have the impression that the Christians explain that Jesus had fulfilled many prophecies of the Jewish texts (If you'll let me call "it" that). This is to give proof or more credit that Jesus is the Messiah. However, I have this...

I think it is safe to say that doubt is part of the spiritual life. It is one of the five hindrances. No need to make a big deal. Practice over belief. However, as I was looking up Mother Theresa on youtube I came across some guys, "Popular Mechanics", who seemed to say that she hardly ever...

Of all the websites I have come across regarding religion and spirituality, this was one that at first started to speak to me. It set aside a bit of the Religious church I don't agree with, has some Buddhism, Christianity, some Gnosticism flavor, and just seems good but, one thing turns me off...

(Please share your thoughts regarding the following.) In life, Mother Teresa was an icon, for believers, of God's work on Earth. Her ministry to the poor of Calcutta was a world-renowned symbol of religious compassion. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. In a rare interview in 1986...

From Practicing Buddhism and going to a Buddhist center I have experienced from time to time some pretty overwhelming spiritual experiences oh my gosh. It is really awesome at how kind, compassionate, and generous people can be. And how helpful they can be spiritually. It is just too much...

Is that something you really want?

I see, so when a Christian goes around saying, I have taken a my modern New testament and read it and compared it to the Dead Sea Scrolls, they're just full none sense because the Dead Sea Scrolls are almost entirely concerned with the Old Testament and not the New Testament. Alright, I got ya.

I heard someone mention that there some of the dead sea scrolls that have been translated and that they are writings of what Jesus wrote. The scrolls contradict some of what the church is doing currently. is there any truth to this? Are there really some of the dead sea scrolls that people...

What happens after we die? What is the final Goal in Christianity and what is it like. Please describe it. Is it heaven? If so, what is it like?

Does Islam consider that verse as heretical or has a different view of that verse that is other than Jesus dying for the forgiveness of sins so everybody has to believe in Jesus to go to heave or God and what not? What is the Islamic perspective? I ask because, this is something that is...

Everyone now and then I have had encounters with people who consider themselves Christian and will ask me the question, "If you were to die right now, do you know where you will go?" I remember my Christian friend telling me that a person can never know where they are going to go after they...
