  1. Quote from Yuvrajjj:

    "Some people believe that God is formless and thus cannot be seen. Does it make any sense to follow someone who has never been seen and who will never be seen?"

    It does not matter what people believe. The nature or form of God is what it is, even if no people exist.

    "The Vedic scriptures are the oldest known to man and the only scriptures that completely describe God. His history, qualities, description, how he creates and maintains and so on. "

    I would rather say that as a Christian, I completely disagree with your views. Krishna is unrelated to the Biblical YHWH/Christ. And I would further say that I do not follow nor give any credence to the Vedic scriptures. I also think most other religions would completely disagree with you. People follow what they follow.

    "That God is Lord Krishna."

    Try heading for the western provinces of Pakistan, and tell them that you have something better/superior to the Koran. I am sure you will be the guest of honor at dinnertime.

  3. ================
    Good question Rcan, & if one believes the Hebrew Holy scriptures,aka Holy Bible,Jesus is both [somewhat] misunderstood Rabbi & for sure God/Creator.

    Also Jesus God created the sun/stars;
    low probility events consisting of a mass of glowing gas.[Ever thought about that?????]
    =======================================

    Lord Jesus is personal friend of mine,
    rainmaker,in charge of climate,
    & saved me @ 7 years old, because i asked Jesus to save me. And according to Scripture filled me with joy.
    ============================================

    :cool: Thanks.

    Many prophecies foretold the coming of Jesus. He was born in bethlehem, betrayed for 30 pieces of silver, the romans threw lots for his garment, all foretold in the old testament and many more, too many to list.

  8. Yeah it was also a pagan myth thousands of years old before Jesus

    Come on kids, you got duped by a church that has enjoyed your money just a little too much

  9. Great. Then you won't mind furnishing proofs rather than opinions...

  10. The proofs are legion.. the church itself lost all it's scholastic priests when they were given the mandate of proving the bible to be history using the new German method of cross referencing

    To a man they lost their faith and left the church when it became obvious that the bible was just a collection of pagan myths that contradicted each other

    As for all the man/god's that were born of a virgin on December 25th and died only to be resurrected 3 days later.. well they are on record as existing as myth thousands of years before the Christ story.. do a little research if you dare or if your belief system can stand it
