I do not think Eastern religion and Christianity are similar at all. One seems to be saying man can raise himself to be like God or be God through his own work or understanding. One says that God is a separate being and that he created us. Instead of us perfecting ourselves through our own power we must strive to love God and do Gods will so that he can come into our lives. If you believe in the God of Abraham and the bible then you know that the whole point of the old testament is that he made his convenant with Abraham so that you may know him though his promises to Abrahams people. If you see he kept his promises to Abraham you should know he is the one true God. So you have one true God or the exact opposite. To me that is not very similar.
A person bragging about his scientific education appealing to the supernatural. Where did you get your education? Bob Jones university? "if conclusions contradict the word of God, the conclusions are wrong no matter how many scientific facts may appear to back them."biology textbook printed by conservative Christian publisher Bob Jones University Press
Well thats lovely for you, but i have experienced, personally, events that prove multi dimensional timespace. Or is it linear timespace........confusing shit. I dont even know the jargon, and i cant describe it per se. You dont know, what you think you know, thats all i can say.
That is a fair comment. I have only reviewed it. I have not really studied it. Care to elaborate on the Godhead and how humans may find themselves in their highest state?
Father >> Son Spirit-Mind >> Spirit-Mind Mind of Son wanders, seems to split, stops communicating. Father >> Holy Spirit >> Son's wandering mind >> Son Father creates Holy Spirit to mediate communication between Father and Son's wandering mind, to bring it back into communion. The mind imagines life opposite to life with/as God. His impression of himself becomes... "God">>Time >> Space >> Form >> Man ...not to mention many other confusing ideas. All the ideas are to obscure the truth: Father >> Son In between is placed the imagined: Father>>"God">>Time >> Space >> Form >> Man>>Son This is irreconcilable. Truth and illusion do not mix. Renounce the illusions obstructing communication by making them meaningless. Find yourself back in your highest state: Father >> Son But as a result of this excursion, you will find a brother to welcome you home: Father >> Son >> Holy Spirit This is the parable of the "prodigal Son" restated. In the meantime, the Son wandered East, West, North, and South. It was all a dream in which he nearly destroyed himself. His Brother helped him out of it. His Brother was created just as the mind was embarking on its useless journey. In this way, the Father saved the Son before time and space intervened. So the journey was useless and meaningless. But every loving thought along the way has been purified and saved for eternity. Is this Eastern? Is this Western? It is the truth. Jesus
This is what the scribes and Pharisees said to me when they heard about my parable of the "prodigal Son". They could not find that anywhere in their Bibles! Jesus
