All religions are the same
- sandra rinckposted 15 years ago
0I like to get waist deep into the study of religions, I even often times get swept up in certain aspects of some and then sound a trumpet like a fanatic... it happens, what can I say.
But what bothers me about most of them... Monotheistic ones is that they all say:
This is the true religion and Jesus is going to crush all the false religions and our religion is the anointed or true religion.
One religion imparticular says some pretty interesting things about the establishment of religious/political "organizations" being the established kingdom of Satan yet when you say...
"your religion or organization is not different" they refuse to listen to their own teachings and principals.
While some religions are much nicer then others, they all have a way of making your feel like a disobedient child of God who will not inherit the kingdom of heaven or Earth for the refusal to be part of their "organization".
I am fully inclined and interested in studying every aspect there is to be understood but it just gets me right in the heart about their "authority".
While, still I believe in "G" in my own way I will still test it out, see what really happens. I mean after all the good book says that you know God's Kingdom by the fruits it produces and so I take it as a rule of thumb and so far, as sad as it is to say.
No religion is right when all of them are still separating branches from the root and all have but forgot the seed.
Irony: most do have some particular truths to them, yet when involved in them as "active" members of their "elite" forces, you basically just sold your soul to Satan's establishment of religion/political organizations.
Please don't take this the wrong way. Attending a church and listening to a sermon or a discourse is different than leading one...this is what I am getting at.
Religions (all of them) establish a political system that governs the way the religion is run. They have hierarchies, accounting, book keeping, record keeping, reprimand for disobedient behavior, a requirement to attend, a requirement to take an oath to their establishment and it goes on in every political fashion but is called a religion because all also believe that God or Jesus is their established top law official.
Everyone who chooses to not take part in that sort of religious hypocrisy is declared as being deceived by Satan, a heretic for
believing in the bible, or bible principals or some other way of understanding it... other then that particular groups outlook or understanding.
It is exactly what it looks like. Sorry to offend anyone. Again I will say attending these things for personal spiritual fulfillment and such is far different from being a leader.
The greatest leaders lead from behind.
Welcome to the dark side - again.
Thank you. It was a pretty treacherous journey there for a little while, luckily I remember to pack my golden fleece just in case they tried to hold me captive. LOL.
I noticed. Good to have you thinking for yourself again.
Turns out you were right all along. Using scripture to get the point across doesn't do anything but add to the problem, it all falls on deaf ears I suppose.
But I just about sh*t a magical turd when I learned about certain religions giving out "God licenses". OMG, I love my friend but that was just too much. Not quite as bad as the magical underpants. but on a more serious note, it sorta makes me really sad.

to see what there about, to understand people, to help me be a better person to find a compromise, to understand culture, history, "social problems", structural systems of the human interactions, how relative faith is, why people believe in God even in a number of different ways, what fuel humans to want to understand and be better people, how laws are violated, why some humans feel that it is necessary to govern humanity etc...
How politics arrived into the human consciousness, what fear does to people, why a beliefs are shattered by opposition, by shattered, I mean both sides play the role and ultimately end being what they "fought" to not become.
I could go on.
Love ya, My Goddess, welcome back! :*

Oh Brenda, I think you missed the point of what I am saying... the structures of religion are the same they are all political whether building social caste system into their societies, or appointing people to dictate etc...
But yes, you are warm, you can learn a lot from religion... If it wasn't for the love that I do find in people when understanding them and how/why they believe what they do, I don't think I would care to even understand any religion.
I am fine Your Majesty
Pretty busy, but fine, thanks for asking

I see no reply. zoink
god = self
=True
Well it is spelled as Hindu. Anyway my truth or my God is the only way or truth has been a cause of many unnecessary wars in the past human history. And even among Christianity why my particular sect of Christianity is the only "right" version is equally perplexing. I have seen in the past too where Mormons/Jehovah's Witnesses also being called as "non believers". As if folks who believe in any other sect or religion are wrong/"non believers" except mine. I read a long time back about Mormons and here is the link for some folks about them: http://hubpages.com/hub/LdsNana---HOW-C … -CHRISTIAN
At last - we agree. Let's leave it there.

It's a free gift offered to those who believe and accept what He did-
I didn't believe in god or Jesus and found god , gained salvation for myself and not though anyone.
As far as prophets...its all been said and done through Jesus. There is no need for anymore prophets.
It has been said by whom? Tell him I called him or her an idiot.
There is a desperate need for more prophets who will show humanity the oneness of all religions and prophets and stop these ugly wars going on in the name of god.If all was fine he would not have the need to come back and this planet( something he has to do to make things right) would not see the likes of the great Muhammad, Guru Nank, Baha'ullah, Sai Baba, Paramhansa Yogananda to name a few.
Why else would the Son of God leave His place, forsake all He had to humble Himself and take on the flesh of a lowly human body?
Me and every human does this.
As far as Buddha and Muhammad...they are dead and cannot be seated anywhere except in their respective graves. Only Christ is alive and seated at the right hand of God the Father.
Usmanali this is for you.I hope know you can see the rubbish you are saying when you say Muhammad is the greatest prophet stuff, its as crazy as Born Again 05 saying Jesus is it and no one else can be compared to him.
God has to send more prophets to correct this mess. How many more will depend on him.
- "If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. -
Sandra's translation. The Serpent is not part of the world, he comes from an unknown origin.
-Salvation is a free gift offered to all who will accept it. Other religions (some of them Christian) base their salvation on works or earning their way into Heaven.-
Sandra's translation. Salvation is absolutely not free, it comes at the cost of blood. It's always kill or be killed, that is the highest price to pay, with blood.
It's pretty clear that you would rather let the world go on killing each other for his name sake then do anything to stop it, right? There is seriously something wrong here, when you figure it out it will shake your foundation to the ground.
-Also consider this; Buddha's bones are in his grave...Muhammod's bones are in his grave...Jesus Christ's tomb is empty! He is alive and seated at the right hand of God the Father! Now that's something to believe in.
Sandra's translation. Yet you cannot see the problem with this. If God is good, then what could be not good?
Thanks for the giggles BA05
I would add" it takes a master to appreciate a master, a fool will call master a fool."
So, are you trying to call me a fool, albeit slightly indirectly? Don't have enough nerve and skill to actually discuss the issue? Understandable, and very Christian of you.
Just for your information, it is called personal attack, and it is a violation of the forum rules.
Yes and No. Lucky for me I got to choose, my parents were not forceful... strict but not religiously forceful and not overbearing just good folks who let me sort through life because they always believed that I have a good heart.
I chose no religion except for the one called Love. I chose the best way for me regarding my beliefs is just that, for me and no one else.
Wish some would take not of it and do the same instead of killing people because of it, instead of making people feel bad for not 'buying' into it, instead of perpetuating the already nauseating circumstances, mind manipulating, self suppressant, fear based dictatorships that "cause" people to not only disbelieve in what they already knew in their hearts but also trade those in for... well let's just say, "a one way ticket to a cloud of tears".
I think so
Alrighty then
SIMPLY AWESOME

It is all based on individual perception from experience and knowledge. There are foundation stones of who and what is God and why that is important to humanity. But because we are unique individuals who have lived our own life, not someone else's, we need what we need a any particular point in time.
So religions can be helpful guides to any one, but when it gets to the point of that individual relationship with God, that is up to us.
Like I always have said to my children, God is not the problem, it's human interpretation of God and the human ego's need to be right, that are the problem.- \Brenda Scullyposted 15 years ago0
