    For the Christians (Abrahamic only)

    Sorry Roger, I should have said LAW, not covenant. No one could fullfill the Law because we are "seed of Adam," Jesus was and was not. He was able to keep ALL the commandments as set forth by The Father. By doing this, and becoming the perfect sacrifice we can be free of sin itself, but only...

    Christians Only: Jesus Transfiguration

    Well the OT is very clear about the appearamces of both Moses and Elija, not so much of how they looked, but moreso how they dressed, or objects they carried. Moses wore robes, had a long full beard and was always noted with carrying a staff, while Elija wore little more than an animal hide with...

    For the Christians (Abrahamic only)

    To your first question... Jesus did fullfill the Law. As He hanged upon the cross, He uttered "It is finished." When He died the Bible records tha the Earth shook and that the great curtain in the Temple was torn in two re-establishing our freedom to relate to God directly as it was before...

    Christians..."Trinity"?

    God capable of sinning???? The only way for God to sin would be for Him to go against His nature.. which is impossible because to do such a thing He would have to stop being God.

    am i going to hell

    Fair enough about the intent of works... In Christianity if you sin, but didnt intend to, your covered. If you sin with the intent to do evil, you invite the wicked one (satan) into your life to further fowl things up for you in the attempt to make you doubt .. although you can repent and attone...

    Christians..."Trinity"?

    "He makes foolish the wisdom of this world" cant remeber the location of the verse that states this, but its there. Oh BTW... all those body parts, are well.. the body, and none of them are to be found in the bible when concerning Salvation.. the ones I mentioned are however mind= heart, body=...

    am i going to hell

    Thanks for the detailed accounting of your belief. It was both informative and articulate. Best answer Ive seen yet. So rather than a Heaven, and hell, (and purgetory for Catholics), you believe that there are six ascending, or decending realms where one can be reborn to, depending on their...

    Christians..."Trinity"?

    Actually yes it can be explained by an analogy, and very simply I might add. You.. or I, or anyone for that matter is a living breathing analogy of the Trinity. Mind, body, and spirit. These three things we all have which is like a lesser trinity in itself, we were created in His image likeness...

    am i going to hell

    So your telling me that this universal energy may or may not be an entity... that you may or may not pay for sin.. that you may or may not reincarnate, and that nibbana is mearly a state of mind that you may or may not achieve. Sounds like when Socrates said "The only true wisdom comes from...

    am i going to hell

    Apologies.. your answers were.. well they seemed very contradictory on several levels. Sounded more like you were into some new age type of belief to be honest. Again, my apologies.

    Christians..."Trinity"?

    Very well.. you dont like the water imagery, then how about this.... Look at an orange, many different sections, each one has the same scent and taste as all the other sections of the orange. You and I could both be enjoying the same orange even though we may be nowhere close to one another. The...

    am i going to hell

    No offence but I was kind of hoped that an actual Buddahist would answer me. I just want to be clear on their belief. Please understand Im not trying to devalue your personal belief.... yet:p

    am i going to hell

    As I understand Buddahism, you attribute no self awareness to the universe (that which I call God) and when you die, you can either be reincarnated here on Earth again to atone for sins in past lives or progress to nirvana if you are righteous enough.. is this correct?

    Christians..."Trinity"?

    Ive been looking over your posts and you seem to find the Trinity illogical for some reason... H2O can be liquid, a gas or a solid.. and its one of the easiest elements in existance to configure.. even we figured it out.. So ask yourself "How much greater is God than water?" "For there are...

    INDISPUTABLE Rational Proof That God Exists (Or Existed)

    In human understanding.... According to physics energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only changed by an outside force. This means that all the energy in the universe has always been and always will be. Some like the Buddahist attribute no personality or consciousness to this energy...
