What's more, all you're saying here is that A is correct so B is wrong, but you've provided no evidence that A is correct other than to state that it is so.
I have no desire to give you evidence that A is wrong. That's too much work and I'm busy. I've already found these things out for myself. If you wish to know them, do your homework.
I'm not trying to be terse with you. I simply am being matter-of-fact because I believe you may have had too little of it (truth) in your life and consequently you grew up to be a touchy-feely socialist, and your belief system is the very one that will lead us into Armageddon; And all the way there, you -- and those sharing your belief system -- will blame religion.
It's truly ironic.
Each of you may be convinced that your beliefs are correct but you should at least come clean and accept that they are beliefs because empiricism has no place at the moment in proving them right or wrong. I have seen people honestly admit this.
This is the line in the sand that you are simply unwilling to cross.
The fact is, there are mountains of evidence supporting the Bible, Christianity, Christ, and the Creation account - properly interpreted.
The ONLY reason people don't know this is because they don't want to, and the reason they don't want to is because they have been conditioned to believe that Christianity takes away their fun, that is, their idols, and they have been taught that they are free yet they don't even know what freedom is.
What an irony.
The evidence you see in the Bible is the evidence others see in the Koran, the Bhagavad Gita, the writings of Buddha.
No it's not. Not even close.
I've heard and seen the "evidences" for the Koran, Buddha, and many others, and they are not evidences at all. They are the result of minds that cannot deal with logic and reason any longer because they are so desirous that these things are true, and because of this, their reasoning is plainly illogical. Their ability to reason is lost.
In short, it is not scientific. It's not even reasonable.
So, no, you are way off base and clearly uneducated about this subject because you have not studied the differences between how the Bible is evidenced and the way religions are massaged into being.
There is no comparison. None at all.
The Bible is packed full of revealed (now known) prophecy, symbolic numerology, and archeological evidences that are provable. No religion can accurately say this. None.
Those who don't know these things about the Bible don't know it because they don't want to because they've been conditioned to believe false things about the Bible. These false things are the very things that you claim here, and are clearly the result of soviet-style indoctrination in a corrupt escapist-socialistic system.
The fact that you yourself accept one and reject the others (whether you have actual knowledge of them or not) simply means that you have made a personal choice, while others have made different choices,
This is the rhetoric you will hear in the propagandist school systems, but it is simply not true.
The fact that you still believe it - is evidence that you blindly accept what you are told (you are a good little socialist) and you don't examine these things for yourself.
IMO all of these scriptures contain truths and we are free to accept those while making our own choices about how to live our lives.
Any good lie is 90% truth, so yes, you will find truth in these other false belief systems, but the 10% deception will lead you to eternal loss, which is it's ultimate purpose.
And yes, you are free to pick and choose which "truths" you want to "believe", but you will accept the consequences just as you would walking blindfolded onto a highway.
I would highly advise taking time to get your own prejudices (idols) out of the way ("get yourself out of the way") and study these things. If you do these things, you will learn what we already know.
Maybe those in power started them, but religion was the fuel.
A statement like this is such a generalization that it has moved into the realm of untruth. You always let semantics blind you.
The fuel used in wars are lies. Some of those lies are based on religions, but let me give you an example of what happens in the real world.
The super-rich of the world are hindered in their conspiracy to create a new world order because of (1) the Bible, and because (2) Muslims continue to complain about the land they've lost to Israel.
So they devise a plan to get rid of both. They will start a war between their two enemies and let them destroy each other.
The super rich bomb the twin towers on 9-11. They blame it on Muslims. They then provoke Muslims by continually killing Palestinians using "Christian-backed" Israel.
Now there is animosity between the two, and a false war can be justified by both "publics", each side cheering on all the killing and bloodshed.
This is the way it really works.
If people would stop listening to the lying propaganda they are taught in school (this means you too) and study (instead of blindly believe what they're told), they will learn that the conspiratorialists are correct in this world view and that the real enemy is not each other, but rather those who set us against each other through lies and deception and false-flag attacks.
What is so astonishing is that just a few men literally control the world, and mainstream media is their Wizard of Oz.
It is the men behind the curtain who start and conduct wars, and it is the ignorant masses who cheer them on, all the while blaming "religion".I love people, and I don't think the value of a person is dependent on their intelligence, however, knowledge of the true nature of the Wizard is hindered by the coveting of the masses, and the Wizard knows this and therefore keeps the masses occupied with all manner of coveting, idolatry, materialism, competitive pride, and all the vain things that are the root of rebellion; And through this incessant occupying and coveting, the Wizard keeps the masses in ignorance.
The fact is, they know you better than you know yourself.You've heard of the crusades?
The crusades were the result of the powers behind the catholic church not allowing the common people to have the Bible in their hands.
And why would they want to keep the Bible out the hands of the common people?
The same reason the new world order wants the Bible gone today:
Because the Bible teaches personal rights granted by God, and this wisdom makes it particularly hard to oppressively tax and rule the masses.
In short, the Bible returns power and personal responsibility to people, and does not allow others -- including governments -- to interfere with the lives of the people.
The crusades were not religious in nature. They were the same family of powerbrokers fighting to reclaim power they lost to the printing press.
The same thing is happening today with the internet. They have lost power because of this new ability to share and distribute information, and thereby comes the soon-approaching new-crusades.
Again, not religious, but powerbrokers fighting for control all all costs, or rather, turning man against man for their own profit and power: Divide and conquer.
You are aware of the persecutions in my own country when people belonged to the opposite religion as that of the reigning king or queen?
Open your eyes Linda.
What is the "religion" of the king/queen?
It's the same as it was during the crusades (although they call it by a different name actually claiming it to be the opposite of what it is). It's all a different part of the same thing Linda.
Don't be so simple-minded as to look at this dirty word "religion" as the cause. "Religion" is only the object of blame to synthesize a "God-less" world: One where all the power is in the hands of the corrupt few. Business as usual.
Jews and Muslims don't get on very well in Israel.
And again Linda, why is this?
Because the powerbrokers took land from the Palestinians to form Israel after the war. And why did they do this?
Because they (the powerbrokers) will have their own king enter the temple and proclaim himself God, or prophet, and will rule the world. Again, it's the same group of people at work. Nothing different, and always for the same purpose:
Power.
Again, don't be so simple-minded as to blame that dirty word: "religion". You're being played Linda.
There would be more peace in the world if fewer people said, "Your god is not my god and you are infidels."
Again, this is a horribly naive belief, but it is synthesized in you by the propagandists who are shaping your world view to make you fit into their new world; The world they rule absolutely and with an iron fist.
The real problem here is ignorance, which comes from rebellion.
If people were willing to do real research and humble themselves and be willing realize that they may have been wrong about what they believed in the past, they would realize that the Bible is accurate and other "holy" books are deceptions.
If the whole world realized this about the Bible, then the powerbrokers would not be able to use anyone against anyone else to fight their profitable wars.
So the real enemy is ignorance rooted in rebellion.
Want to save the world from destruction? Then listen to the One who knows when He says "Repent!" (don't be rebellious).
When people do this, ignorance disappears and peace ensues.
IMO Hinduism is tolerant in this respect because it accepts figures from other religions as avatars of the divine.
Hinduism is replete with lies and deception. The word "tolerant" is simply a modern-day propagandists tool that really means:
Accept lies and deceit so you don't hurt the feelings of others.
The great irony is that Hinduism will deceive you into believing what the Bible calls "doctrines of demons", and these doctrines will lead you straight to personal destruction.
Tolerance of evil is evil.
Intolerance of intolerance is still intolerance.
The more evil you tolerate, the more evil you will endure.
