For me, I'm putting my bet on Jesus. I think he's proven himself to be the Messiah spoken of. But better yet, he lived and commanded us to live the most Godly way I've ever heard of: to love God and love other people. I don't think there's any better way to live your life, so I'm betting my life wholly on this Messiah fellow.
That was actually one of the commands of Moses in Deuteronomy. Jesus called it the greatest commandment.

blogYes, that's right! Both 2 laws he mentioned are from the Torah. In fact, the first law he mentions (the one about loving God) is something that is recited daily by us Jews. I'm convinced Jesus didn't come to start a new religion, but only was continuing on in the original plan all along. Instead of creating a whole new set of religion rules, He took the rules God had already setup, and put them in their proper place. He said in one piece, "You all know of the law that goes, 'Do not commit adultery', but I'm telling you that even if you look at a woman and lust after her in your heart, you've committed adultery in your heart." The Messiah took the Law code and applied it to hearts, instead of just outward appearances as the Jewish leaders were doing at the time. This falls right in line with what Jeremiah predicted[^]. :cool:

it is a mistake to equal legality with morality and ethics
I'm well aware that morality and legality are different and in most cases should remain so. Efforts to legislate morality usually fall flat on their faces. Ethics on the other hand are the basis of the legal system. How do civilized people of differing moralities coexist peacefully. It isn't by trying to legislate one group's morality down other's throats.

While god-law may be important to you, there are quite a few people who get along just fine without it. The evolution of the human genome is too important to be left to chance.

If God-law boils down to loving other people, I'm not so sure we'd get along just fine without it.

There are many. I don't have it readily available, but I asked if he condemned suicide bombers. His response (after a week of dodging) was that he condemns suicide bombers...because they target Muslims in mosques. He had a long drawn out explanation as to how the Quran states that it's OK to kill over "corruption in the land" yada yada yada that justified terrorism.
are you being a moron?you didnt need to navigate much to answer your question directly and you are saying that i didnt answer you?tsk tsk get a life!!

authorites from christianity islam and judaism are keep in touch and trying to understand each other's faith and also discovering similarties between all abrahamic faith so i have no worries that these 3 mentioned religions are not compatible
There is no way that these three religions can be compatible. Jesus is the son of god, or He isn't. People who want to achieve compatibility can only do so by abandoning their own faith. The mistake is to confuse compatibility with understanding. I think you're wrong ( sorry :-) ), but that doesn't mean I hate you, or deny you the right to your beliefs. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Metal Musings - Rex and my new metal blog
by compatible doesnt mean any sort of merger.What i mean compatibility here is the God itself and Jesus(AS) and others who came before Him like Jacob,David etc etc.I assume all of mentioned people are considered respectable in both christianity and judaism and I already mentioned that every prophet from Adam to Jesus before MUhammad is respectable for us.As i said only dispute is status of Jesus in different religions but not His own persoonality.Same goes with other prophets as well.So if all religions just start respecting these people then things could go well without hitting each others faith.

But I want to ask, before commenting on Hinduism , have you studied any of the religions in full? Have you read GITA , Hindu's religious book and understood its meaning? I guess everyone heere is just commenting based on their observations, news and feelings . no one has gone to core. May be since childhood all are busy with studies (not religious). Just think how this whole big band occured, how the first life existed. let there be water , oxygen , carbon.. but how that first cell come to life.. which powered self, run its own machine.. just think howww. there must be something. humans are olnly animals too.. just with bigger brains.. There is no religion. But God is certainly there. we are not the trillionest part of this whole thing. Stop fighting. and enjoy life. have lot lot of fun. pathak

There may be occasions but its not spread that much, They are very mild, welcoming. dont want to be religious here.. but if one wants.. Just come to our real nice temples, you will have that peace, freshness. what does one want more.. somethign spiritual. churches and mosques dont offer that.

The child's life and soul is in God's hands, not yours. The murderer's life and soul is in God's hands, not yours. To kill someone to save a life is a sum of zero. To kill someone to save a life implies that YOU are judging the worthiness of their souls, that YOU are judging which soul is ready to meet the Father and which is not. YOU are not the judge of that. To be honest, it seems like you are searching to be told that killing someone would be OK, given some arbitrary circumstance. This is not what Jesus wants of us. - F

I think you don't understand. If you belive something, then that means that contrary beliefs, are to you, wrong. That is what belief means. But, that does not mean we cannot respect each other and allow each other to live our lives as we please.

Why cannot there be multiple paths to a god (or gods)? Why go by the "my belief is the only true belief" theory?
That is just another beief! And you are welcome to it. There are many beliefs, you have to pick one. And your belief, that everyone is right, is just another belief. In other words, you can belive the world is flat or round. You have to pick one. But this does not give the 2 groups the right to kill each other. My mom told me once that "while we all don't speak the same language, everyone in the world undestands an asskicking"

Yep - I understand that this is so. When Christians say god, and when Hindus say god - they are talking about two different things.
Judah Himango wrote:
If I have this knowledge, and I am honest in believing that this Jesus is the person he claimed to be, how could I ever say "all paths lead to God", when they clearly don't?
The same theory can be used with equal effect by a Muslim or a Hindu - they could also say "only my path leads to god". But then, that's what's happening today in the world. If a god did exist, I'd be tremendously surprised if he or she or it treated people based on whether they believed in him or not. That'd make it an egoistic god - which kinda goes against the "nice guy god" people think about.

No, some people are wrong and some people are on a downward spiral. That's why I'm saying these things; to give a hand to those on the downward spirals.
But to the god-believing billions who don't believe in Jesus, your way is the downward spiral, just as theirs is to you. Also, while you are not intentionally attempting to sound insulting, saying that non-Jesus-followers are on a downward spiral can be pretty rude :-) Regards, Nish

I don't think of God as a nice God or a mean God. That's childish. I respectuflly disagree God is egoistic if he enjoys people that do good and believe in Him. If God exists and he didn't care how you lived your life, where's the fabric of good and evil? In reality, then, there would be no real good and no real evil, just human speculation.
Nishant Sivakumar wrote:

I'm not here to please everybody; I'll leave that to the PC folks. The downward spiral I'm talking about isn't necessarily non-Jesus believers. I have other thoughts about those people. The people I was referring to are those that live like I had for awhile: do whatever you feel like doing, whatever's right in your own eyes. You know, if it feels good, it's ok to do. That kind of living can ruin a life. What it comes down to, Nish, is someone is right in all this. Maybe there's some truth spread around, sure, but in the end, not everyone is right. That's a utopian, unrealistic view of the world. That's why I can't seriously say, "all paths lead to God", because we know certainly not all paths lead to God. On the contrary, most paths naturally lead to things humans enjoy doing; this forum is a testament to that, with people mocking other people, bashing other religions or all religions, hateful speech, to name a few. It doesn't stop there, of course. If some of us in this forum had enough power, we'd take our hateful speeches, our religion bashing, our desires for power, or conquest, our lusts, and bring them to their physical conclusions, ruining our lives and maybe others' in the process.

What i was told by my belief that God prefers Human rights first over Godly rights;to worship God.Quran contains merely 30%(not accurate) to worship Him and rest of the portion deals with people by various means.The reason for this that Human hardly forgive his oponent where God doesnt wait a moment to forgive those who disobeyed him.

If I was born to Christian parents who strongly instilled Christian beliefs in me as a child, I may have taken it. But (luckily I think) I was born to moderate Hindu parents, who allowed me to have my atheist views about life, and so I actually could choose what I wanted to believe. I understand what you are saying though. Know this because I have a few Christian friends, normally very good people, but at times, just a tad hyper-religious. Regards, Nish

I am irrelevent since you are seeking a christian point of view but Islam says that those disbelivers who do good deeds and help humanity are rewared fully in this world but no after death(which athiest dont believe at all).They get rewards like good family,wealth,peace and serenity etc etc.

So what happens if a Muslim decides to convert to Christianity? According to Muslims in Afghanistan, he should be killed. What do you think about that?
there are apostates in Islam as well and there are clear guidelines about them which is absolutely not killing.If something happened in afghanistan or some X islamic country doesnt mean that its according to Islam. its like some one justifies hitler's massacre according to bible which is untrue.
