All these religious cults believe that their one is "the correct one". They all know they are the correct one because they all feel it with 100% certainty in their heart.

Unfortunately anyone with an ounce of common sense can quite clearly see that they cannot all be correct. Yet everyone "knows" deep deep down in their heart they have the "correct one".

Conclusion:
Knowing it in your heart you've picked the right one is clearly a totally useless indicator and has no value whatsoever.

You claimed that atheism is a religion. Now you claim that every existing religion has something correct about it, so presumably this includes any "religion of nonreligion". You must therefore admit that atheism is correct in its sole claim of no god(s).
By the way, the thing that all religions have in common is called generally "the golden rule" and it is the same as Jesus's "New Commandment" which was the core teaching of Jesus. This teaching has nothing to do with death, sin, faith, grace, ancient writings, or "saviors"; it is all about the pure intention of the soul. Jesus also said that he brought nothing new.

You have no idea what really happened to Jesus because you have only read 4 out of the 28 written gospels.

Does it somehow pain you to find that the Beloved Master did not die and rot for three days? How is it that you seem all but forced to believe he could not have lived in human format following the crucifixion and went on to do his earthly work?

A misinformed person will think that Jesus is a savior, but he never once suggested that he was your "savior"; in fact, he said that the kingdom of God is not "here or there", i.e. in Jesus, but it is within YOU. The churches have misinformed the people. There were over 28 full gospels written and known. A scholar from South Germany chose the four which were placed into your New Testament--need I say more? How can you continue to be so narrow?

The churches and church self-appointed priests keep the masses imprisoned. They do not dare even look upon other material than that which is sanctioned by the particular doctrine. Heaven might surely strike ones if they stumbled upon truth. These are the reasons that no Avatars begin or keep religious sects---they are only of God---sects are of man!

Jesus said: "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the spirit is spirit." He had come for a specific reason and it was to experience as man and therefore, he lived as man. He appeared and disappeared at will, even before His crucifixion and Resurrection. As a matter of fact, His body was so finely attuned to the spirit, that it seemed to have no substance to it whatever at times. An account of this is found in one of the most famous Gnostic Gospels: The Acts of John.

Jesus allowed His body to be crucified in an effort to again show you the body is so temporary that one should not become attached to it. Then he showed that he could utilize it or cast it aside; or appear as anything he chose. Men continually miss of the lesson's point. Ones must seek out and attach oneself to that which is permanent--the soul or spirit within. You must come to know that the aura or light that is seen around the physical body, even in Kirlian photography, is unaffected by physical pain or death and remains perfect even after the body is cut away or dropped. Note in the picturing of a leaf--cut a portion away and the energy light remains whole.

Here are some facts that I would like to share with you and to show you the world from a different perspective, because the % of people know this is quite small...

The books who are include in the Old Testament are talking about how the first (6-th) civilization was emerge for the first time. In the 5 books of Moses we can read about The Law i.e. how the first countries was created and the way they functioned. In The Law there are more then 600 laws who are used in our modern society. The other books from Abraham to David and Goliath we can see about how the history was in that time. The books of wisdom are only 4 and I am suggest you to read them. The last part of the Old Testament are the books of prophets. In those books was written to whole future that will happen in the New Era! Everything that the prophets says was come true, everything!

On the other side we have the New Testament where we have discover the story of Christ and His wisdom and power that He show to the people of ancient Egypt and Israel. Then we have the books of the Apostles where they teach the people of knowledge, wisdom and power. The last and the final chapter of the Bible is The Revelation of John.

If you able to understand the wisdom that is written in the acts of the Apostles, you will figure out what is Yoga and Meditation and how we will be change!

Here something that will blow your mind:

What you're saying essentially is that "the sun only shines on those that deserve it". The truth is my friend that it shines on everything, it has no distinguishing of whether those it shines on read a book that was written by man... To speak for the sun just displays your own errors.

Thank You,
Viz.

I didn't know if you were commenting to me or not, so I searched for the words of your quote, above, in the things we had been posting. The words, "the, on, that," and, "it," are very common words. So I left them out of my search. The results of the other words are as follows. Incidents of:
sun = 0;
only = 4;
shines = 0;
those = 6;
deserve = 0.

None of the words that were found were talking about sunshine at all. However, with regard to what the sun shines on, it doesn't shine on everything. It only shines on the surface of many things. And nothing on earth gets sunshine on it 100% of the time.

I question if you were talking to me, and what you were talking about in that post^^.

God did a special kind of spiritual "dictation" when He gave the info to the people who wrote the Bible. The gifts of God are for everyone, for a time, to give them a chance to turn to Him. When enough time has passed, all people die.

No matter the people, God gives some gifts to all. Then they die and await the resurrection where they will find out from God what His judgment will be on the way they accepted and used His gifts in the life that He had given them.

The way I used the word "dictation," was in quotes. This means that the word does not have the exact dictionary definition of the word, but that it is similar.

However, God is a dictator in the sense that He owns everything, because He made it all, and controls it all in the way He wants. In His method of control He offers much freedom to people.


Since God is alive, and since He has the ability to think and comprehend much better than people do, your analogy is false. God is proactive way beyond anything we can comprehend. He doesn't simply sit there like the sun, and shine on things.

My post at https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/737322.msg13023742#msg13023742 shows you not only that God exists, but also that he is a much greater thinker than we are. Of course, it won't jump right out at you. You will need to think about it a bit to understand it.

Before people fell into sin, the commands for doing what was right and what was wrong were built into their hearts and minds. They did them automatically.

The commands that God has given to people after they fell into sin, are commands for the benefit of the people, if the people adhere to the commands, because they have forgotten much of the pre-sin commands. A great part of the commands exists to show the people that, since they fell into sin, they can't obey the commands perfectly, and that they will be destroyed by their inability. God also shows the people that He has provided a Savior for them, One who will save them from death, ultimately. This Savior is His Son, Jesus, the Christ.



You don't go far enough back in your idea of "nurturance." Ahead of the nurturance is God, supplying it and holding it in place, through nature and the universe He has made. God's idea wasn't to destroy the universe or people. If that was the case, He wouldn't have made it all in the first place. Destruction was the devil's idea. Mankind picked up the devil's idea and ran with it. God, however, is showing both the devil and people that He is stronger. And, yet, he will give them the thing that they have asked for - destruction of this universe. But, He will do it in His own time, and His own way.

Science at its base is simply the gathering and examining of information. There is so extremely much information in this universe, that people are having a difficult time in gathering it, and an even more difficult time in understanding it. In addition, it seems that there is universe science that people cannot find out. That's part of the reason they have turned science into an informal religion, making all kinds of theories that they can't prove, and probably will never be able to prove.

Do you mow your lawn? If you do, you are a terrorist. But it is okay, because you own that lawn.

Do you eat beef? The meat packers slaughter beef by the thousands for people to eat. Yet they have the right, because they own the beef.

God made and owns all people. But what good are people who don't live up to the purposes that He created them for? Yet God is merciful, giving rain in its day, and crops for food, air to breathe, sunlight and joy.

Then when the people go about to destroy themselves by disobeying their laws of life, God goes so far that He prepared His own Son to take death for them. After God raised His Son from the dead, both the Father and the Son offer people the eternal life back that they threw away the first time around. But the people throw this chance away, as well.

What can God do when people are out there to genocide themselves? All they do is complain that God doesn't give them life. Yet when they are offered life by God, they don't accept it.

It isn't God's fault. It is your own fault.

Play with Yoga all you want. Learn all the knowledge of the secrets of the universe that you can find. But in you learning, remember to rely on the things of the Bible, or you will lose everything.

Mate, I have a question for you... Did you read and analyze the whole Bible?

Because, if you did it I am sure that you will not wrote this things about Yoga. Everything that is mentioned in the Yoga you can find in the Bible. In the New Testament, when Christ rose from the dead he send the apostles in the different area of the world to spread The Holy Scripture. Do you know which apostle was send in India?

How many chakras are in the body? How many commandments there are? How many apostles are? The answer of the three question is 12! Everything that is is mention in the Bible is always connected with the number 12! Do you think that there isn't some logic here?

I am sure that any person who will first read about the Yoga and then start to read the Bible (New Testament) will understand the acts of the apostles.

How would you know what yoga teaches if you have not even read a single book on yoga?

And moreover, how would you know what Jesus taught if you have only read 4 of 28 gospels?  

And what is a Christian?
The action that makes one a Christian also make one a member of Christ's church.
What is that action? My conclusion, which may be different from yours, is that it is found in Luke 13:3
"And you will perish, too, unless you repent of your sins and turn to God."

Therefore, the way to goodness and life comes through repentance and obedience to God. Nowhere in the Bible does Jesus say that the way to goodness and life is "through me, Jesus". In fact, he says that "God's Kingdom is not here (i.e. within Jesus), and it is not there (i.e. somewhere else); GOD'S KINGDOM IS WITHIN YOU". So repentance and forgiveness must begin within self, for that is where God resides--within YOU!

Repentance is done by people all the time. If someone is walking down the sidewalk in one direction, and he repents, that means that he turns around and goes the other way.

The only repentance that keeps a person from perishing in finality is, the repentance of unbelief in Jesus God as Savior. If you want to be saved, repent and believe... that is, repent from not believing to believing. In what should you believe? In the salvation offered by Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

Formerly you didn't believe in Jesus salvation. Then you repented. You repented by becoming a believer in Jesus salvation. Then you repented from evil works and did good deeds.

Since you like to play with the Bible so much, why don't you repent by becoming a believer of it?
