Which Religion is the One True Religion?

We have all noticed that the only response available to Intrepid is "You got all that from a 12 word sentence?" What a fraud; attacking the messenger, but fails to respond to the facts outlined by Set.

The only comeback they have available are ad hominems. They are very sad humans living a lie they can't even defend.

So now you speak for the masses? You don't have an original thought to produce on your own and only follow those who actually have the ability to formulate an intelligent thought as you ride on their coatails and look to them to come to your defence when you say something that is laughable. My response was specifically to Setanta and he answered it quite well on his own. That should have been the end of it. How you see everything as an attack, I will never know. Perhaps it is because you have done it so much you can't tell a rational thought when you see it. You always refer to THEY as if there is some invisible enemy that only you see. Do the voices come to you in the same way?

If the shoe fits, learn to wear it.

BTW, I don't need any defense when your offense is so weak and frail.

Re: Which Religion is the One True Religion?


yours.

So Brahmin,
Are you saying a person's beliefs are right as long as he is satisfted? Sounds fair. Reminds me of a line from the Bible. "Ye shall be saved by your beliefs"....As much as I criticize people for accepting the bible as holy and perfect, I do find a lot of wisdom in it. as with other religions, and philosophies.

There you go again... the lack of sense is in your own mind...

Sorry, Rex. Your posts contain much conjecture not supported by scripture.

My latest writing endeavor...

I will be adding more soon... this is a product of the last three nights writing.

Again, the plot to this story came to me in a rather vivid dream.

I already know the ending and how the silver cross fits in but you will have to wait till I reveal it

Just like God, I know the end before the rest of the world... hehe

I am posting the chapters as I write them, in Letty's WA2K post.

But I will also update them in the link above.

I am hoping there is a whole book in this one and that I will not have to stop at some point and go back and re-write in a few details...

You mean scripture as you know them...

Everything...

yes thats what i am saying.


if mickey mouse comics satisfied my spiritual, philosophical, exentential and other questions and could suggest me a way in which to live my life which i am comfortable with, then i'll stick to mickey mouse.


ultimately its the person's call. he has to know what to throw away and what to keep.

someone here said at the beginning of the thread "there are many spokes from rim to axle" (or something down tjhose lines) - thats what i say too - that which ever spoke takes you from rim to axle is the right religion FOR YOU. whatever floats YOUR boat.

Brahmin,

Do you think there exists Absolute Truth? From your statement it would appear you do not think so, but I want to confirm.

there's just one thing thats absolute/non-negotiable in this world, common to everyone.


that we came naked, we will go naked.


and thats irrespective of which "spoke" we follow from rim to axle.

brahmin, I've been a few funerals in my time, and most of them had nice suits on.

However, your statement "...we came naked, we will go naked..." is about as absolute as we can get. Witty and to the point.

No. As it is written.

"No. As it is written." ROFLMAO

INTRODUCTION
It is a central dogma of all fundamental Christians that the Bible is without error. They teach this conclusion by "reasoning" that god cannot be the author of false meaning and he cannot lie. Is this true? If written by a perfect being, then it must not contradict itself, as a collection of books written by different men at different times over many centuries would be expected to contradict each other.

With this in mind, let us have a look at the Bible on several subjects.





ON THE SABBATH DAY
"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy." -- Exodus 20:8

"One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind." -- Romans 14:5




ON THE PERMANENCY OF THE EARTH
"... the earth abideth for ever." -- Ecclesiastes 1:4

"... the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up." -- 2Peter 3:10




ON SEEING GOD
"... I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved." -- Genesis 32:30

"No man hath seen God at any time..."-- John 1:18




ON HUMAN SACRIFICE
"... Thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God..." -- Leviticus 18:21

[In Judges, though, the tale of Jephthah, who led the Israelites against the Ammonoites, is being told. Being fearful of defeat, this good religious man sought to guarantee victory by getting god firmly on his side. So he prayed to god] "... If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands, Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering" (Judges 11:30-31).

[The terms were acceptable to god -- remember, he is supposed to be omniscient and know the future -- so he gave victory to Jephthah, and the first whatsoever that greeted him upon his glorious return was his daughter, as god surely knew would happen, if god is god. True to his vow, the general made a human sacrifice of his only child to god!] -- Judges 11:29-34




ON THE POWER OF GOD
"... with God all things are possible." -- Matthew 19:26

"...The LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron." -- Judges 1:19




ON DEALING WITH PERSONAL INJURY
"...thou shalt give life for life, Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. " -- Exodus 21:23-25

"...ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on the right cheek, turn to him the other also." -- Matthew 5:39




ON CIRCUMCISION
"This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised." -- Genesis 17:10

"...if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing." -- Galatians 5:2




ON INCEST
"Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of this mother..." -- Deuteronomy 27:22

"And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter...it is a wicked thing...." -- Leviticus 20:17

[But what was god's reaction to Abraham, who married his sister -- his father's daughter?] See Genesis 20:11-12

"And God said unto Abraham, As for Sara thy wife...I bless her, and give thee a son also of her..." -- Genesis 17:15-16




ON TRUSTING GOD
"A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD..." -- Proverbs 12:2

Now consider the case of Job. After commissioning Satan to ruin Job financially and to slaughter his shepherds and children to win a petty bet with Satan. God asked Satan: "Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause." -- Job 2:3

CI,
What is the source that you cut this from and what is your point?

Points you wouldn't understand. What source? The bible, ofcoarse! LOL
