God, Jesus and Christianity
Submitted by K Prabhakar Rao on Thu, 08/07/2008 - 11:46. Balarama bible Christianity compassion Forgiveness Devaki faith god Holy spirit Jews john Judas Kamsa krishna Kunti love Mathura Nanda Pandava Pilate romans Trinity VasudevaAll the Christians believe in the God. God exists outside the universe that he created. Humans are made in the image of god. God has no variations while humans are varied in appearance, conduct and thinking. God is spiritual while humans are in possession of physical existence. Humans can think and decide what is good and bad and are capable of taking decisions accordingly. All world religions believe in God in some way or other. In certain religions, God is seen as entirely independent while others view God and world as one. These two are the two extreme assumptions and beliefs.
WHY PAY TO SEE GOD?
Submitted by K Prabhakar Rao on Thu, 07/31/2008 - 08:53. arrogance discrimination faith fees god pomp and show show of power TempleTemples are the centers of religion in India where from centuries temples played great role in preserving belief in God and scriptures. The bye-gone kings and emperors apart from important nobles and rich people constructed most of the Hindu temples in India. The kings also granted endowments and lands to the temple for the maintenance and preservation and conduct of various religious rituals. Every person has the right to see the God. However the caste system in India in past played havoc in society and the untouchables were denied entry into temples in the past till recently. This was most cruel and insulting. But the practice continued in spite of many reformist movements in the country. Only after gaining independence such practices were abolished and was also made an offense. Yet at many places the practice goes on and regular reports in newspapers are found to that effect.

And almost as potent: defining God or gods separates adherents of one religion from another. That is: Theology is perhaps the most divisive undertaking in human history—next to war, anyway. Kinda seems backward, doesn't it?

Half of the families were convinced that the English version of the Bible that they used was literally true. All of it. I even suspected that some of them thought that Jesus had existed, for the personal benefit of their trifling sins, and spoke English.
