The essence of all the religions is one and the same The essence of all the religions is one and the same since the Universal God gives it. The religions are different from each other because the religious leaders who are the human beings create the material that surrounds the essence. The skeleton is one and the same and there is no difference in the skeletons of the human beings. The difference lies only in the external materials covering the skeletons, which are flesh, skin etc., in these external materials differences arose due to deficiencies. Suppose there are two students. One is weak in physics and the other is weak in chemistry. Each student mocks the other for the deficiency. Therefore, the deficiency is the root of difference and quarrels in the religions. The reason for the deficiency is the human brain that developed the external body of the spiritual knowledge. Therefore, the spiritual knowledge is the skeleton and the religion is its body. The deficiency in a religion can be removed by taking the merits of the other religions. Every religion has deficiency and the rectification of that deficiency should be from other religion without any ego and jealousy. Do not think that you are without defects. Do not think that your parents have no defects. Do not think that your teachers and preachers do not have defects. Therefore, observe others and take the merits from anybody without prejudice. The blind thinking that your nation, your state, your district, your town or village, your caste, your family, your parents, etc., is the best or highest should be eradicated from your brain. Always base your self on your analysis and commonsense that is observed from the examples in the world. Your elders might have polluted the scriptures but this world is the best scripture written by God. This world-scripture is Universal without any color of any religion. You can develop the entire spiritual knowledge by observing this world and the scientific knowledge existing in the various examples or items of the world. Any human being cannot pollute these. You must be scientific and analytical in your belief. The ignorant and clever religious elders always exploit blind belief.

Dattaswami, in another site, I asked you to explain what the Upanishads said about the great sacrifice. You disappeared and all of a sudden, you are back again here. I will post this again.You do not know what you are writing. How is it that a Deficiency in one religion can be rectified by learning other religions. Here is a challenge for you. Hinduism is not a religion. It is a Socioeconomic political system intermingled with Mythology.What is your explanation? Is this the reason you want your readers to follow Christianity? | ||

DATTASWAMI: Here is a challenge for you. Who is this sacrifice? It is very unfortunate and tragic that people are searching for the truth in all the wrong places. After throwing away lots of money and time, they are still lost. SANSKRIT SCRIPTURES written 4000 years ago describe a perfect sacrifice. Who is this? 9 characteristics of the Prajapati Sacrifice are: 1. The Sacrificial animal must be blameless Rgvedic Purusasukta 10:90, 1-15 2. A creeping plant of the forest must be weaved and put on its head.(Vedic rituals) 3. It should be closely tied up to the sacrificial pillar(Sayanacarya's Commentary on Purusasukta. Rgveda 10:90:1-15) 4. Its four legs must be nailed and blood should be shed (Vedic Rituals) 5. The cloth which covers the animal should be shared by 4 priests 6. Its bones should not be broken 7. It should be given some wine 8. After the sacrifice, irt should be returned to life (Rgveda 10:90; 1-15) 9. Its meat should be eaten(Sathapathabrahmana 5.1.1.2) According to the Vedas, Prajapati means the Supreme God. Prajapati Sacrifice means the Sacrifice of God himself. Out of all those 330 million gods, who is this? | ||

Greetings in the Name of the Unknown God. He is the Lord Jesus Christ. I was reading this post and was struck by the fact that only one person wants man to believe that all paths lead to god. Because if you fall for this fable you are ready for the Great Deceiver to lead you into the region he is headed for. For a very good under standing of the many paths theory read Hysop's Book "The Two Babylons." It contains the origins of almost all false doctrine. After Satan tricked Eve and Adam sinned With promise that they would become gods. Even today you can, if you listen, still hear the Hiss of the Serpent Counterfits abound to miss lead humans fro the True and Living Way. Read John 3:16. A blood bought one looking for His Redemer who is coming soon. etrop | ||

M(r)(s). etrop Quoting: "Counterfits abound to miss lead humans fro the True and Living Way. Read John 3:16." End quote. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 (KJV) OK. I read it. Now what? | ||

Now you either believe and follow Christ or you reject Him as the Son of God. Two paths have been set before you and you are the only one who can choose. The path that follows Christ leads to life.The other path leads to death.(seperation from God) No one can force you for it is with your free will that you must choose which path you will take. Here is what is next if you choose to believe in Jesus the Christ. Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. It is now up to you and you alone to decide what your choice will be. It is now between you and the Lord. The question you must ask yourself is , "do I believe that Jesus died to redeem me and wants to have a personal relationship with me?" } | ||

"The question you must ask yourself is , "do I believe that Jesus died to redeem me and wants to have a personal relationship with me?" Which creates the need for those that do not believe the bible is the word of god to ask other questions. Do I need redemptions? Redemption from what? How does one have a personal relationship with someone who is not alive? | ||

Of course your questions are most likely rhetorical, but they have answers. Yes, you, like all of us need redemption. You are in need of redemption for sin, because the wages of sin is death, and someone had to pay that price to redeem you so you didn't have to pay it. The essense of Christianity, at least, is not faith in the death of Jesus and His bearing our sins, but having faith in the ressurection. Jesus is alive. But you know all of that well already, of course, and have your own opinions as to the validity of the Christian faith. Without some level of faith in a God you can not see, these simplistic answers I present only pose more questions. I won't question you're humility or ability to excersise faith, because you seem like a fair minded person usually and sometimes I almost get the sense you'ld actually like to get a good answer for some of the legitimate questions. I'll just say that Jesus said no one comes to the Father unless He draws them, and somewhere in this mix of faith and debating and trying to convince, is the sometimes unfathomable sovreignty of God in these things. I guess I believe there has to be some measure of God revealing that these things are true because it's hard to logically prove faith oriented aspects of Christianity. Probably impossible. | ||

Good point about faith Xman3. We are told in scripture that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.Heb 11:1. So it is faith that brings light into our lives so that we can see. May the Lord draw you who do not yet have that faith. } | ||

Well over five hundred people saw Christ after He arose from the dead. Eye witness accounts. } |
