    as a hindu i dont believe that we are sinners and need jesus to save us from sins to meet god..

    it doesnt make sense to me if one says all the humanity is sinned just because adam, eve ate the forbidden apple..

    jesus was a nice human, who followed ahimsa to the best possible extent.., all the other stories were just written to falsely misguide people...

    why should god kill himself on the cross to save his own creations from his own wrath??

    one god ->father, son, holy spirit???

    i believe in karma and reincarnation..

    by the way no one knows what happens after death..!!! this is just a pointer..

    dear a c,

    religion is a path to God. Lets say,

    Both u & ur hubby wants to go to a shoppin complex. U know a route to it. And he knows a diff way to it too. Wont u both still reach the place destined?? despite the diff of route u guys will be taking... ??

    similarly religions r apparently like that.... Its the SAME GOD we all worship no matter Hindu, Christian, Muslim, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Bahai' Faith etc etc....

    Its just that the Abrahamic religion has this ego to them self that their religion is the ONLY way to God. Their respective prophets say that becoz back in those days the place where they are were filth with religion & believes that were totally wrong in the sense of rightous and dharma. So they HAD to say that to bring the people to God's path. But they r not aware that religions like Hinduism and Buddhism were in another side of the world...

    Understand this and everything will be clear.... :)

    It seems a little more clarity is required in your understanding of Doctrine of KARMA.If one does benevolent, helpful, charitable actions(Sat Karama) and not done non-conducive actions -Dush karma (Stealing,torturing(Hinsa),,not paying appropriate compensation for labourers, cheating, raping, killing etc) so far and in future also-One will POSITIVELY go to Heaven.Hindus have a lot of respect,reverence to the most Noble Soul sri.Jesus Christ, as we have for lord sri.Krishna.But we do not believe that we can go to heaven ONLY through HIM.Our Sat karma will 100% take us to Heaven.Once in Heaven we merge with Eeswara (God-).Then there is no question of "Seperate Identity"-Re-Incarnation etc

    You husband is correct, Jesus Christ is the only way. After Judgement, satan, and people who have not accepted Jesus will be destroyed in the lake of fire, while those who have believed in the Lord will live with the Lord for eternity.

    I cannot give you a reference via religion as this is a human entanglement of a belief system. This sytem is flawed and badly distorted.

    As a species, religiously speaking, humans are into sticky stuff indeed!

    I cannot speak clearly to you from a religious standpoint for the above reasons.

    So, with that in mind I will use the voice of another whom I call the teacher. People have seen the teacher time and again and call him Rabbi, Son of man, Allah, Buddah, Krishna...

    The teacher was always one and the same. He was viewed in "historic terms" as a singular personality and so identified as such by specific belief systems.

    He would say: I have come to you time and again in your different perspectives of history and cultures. It has always been me whom came to teach the way to God.

    I nor God will judge you as this is your call alone.

    God and I are one in the same; I have taught you that you and I are never separate, and you are also with God, one and the same as "ye are Gods in the making"

    In the countless lifetimes I lived I learned the way to God is not by Going, but by Growing...

    I have taught you there is but one God and it is you whom give the father so many names; the father takes no offense to any name as a child may name thier father as they wish to his delight; disturbing are those whom kill for namesake alone and what might a father do when child kills child?

    The son is the way but by this the father does not seek a religion to teach this; as the son cured a blind man to see he did not save his eyes but cured his spritual misery that made him blind...

    the son was all truth in self, all about you, who you are and how to find the father; the son was literally TRUTH ; krishna, Buddah, Muhamad all were one and the same, the son, seen from different cultural perspectives.

    Is it not clear how Moses parted the waters?

    Is it not clear how Joshua also parted the waters?

    Are the perspectives so difficult to see each was the same personality viewed and interpreted differently as "time" and culture FILTERED out what mankind did not approve of?

    Life is viewed from a viewpoint of experiences.

    Religion is a filter of experience, nothing more.

    Jesus can be viewed as any personality within any religion ever founded by man that shows a clear leader. The interpretations of what Jesus was all about, was man's alone.

    Jesus was badly distorted by Christianity. Jesus was not saying belioeve in me to find the father and if you do not you are destined to hell; this is man's game of fear, not anyone elses.

    "Going to heaven" or "hell" is a theme for Christianity; a game of fear.

    For mankind is a spirit in a physical body and not a physical body destined for the spirit. As mankind is so lost in the theme of the physical world he has forgotten his own origins of the spirit; mankind is co-creator, sons of God living in temporary ignorance of this.

    As many view Jesus as the only way to heaven how can I tell you Heaven is not "the only place" of spiritual residence?

    The Christian heaven awaites those whom leave the physical body with a belief system giving them this expectation; for transitional purposes they shall have thier expectations met 100% and soon therafter will be educatated in the true nature of relality; many Muslims and many Christians have met their expectations and I wish I had toime to tell you each of these events.

    In short, as a co-creator, upon the physical "death" you are "born again" and does this sound a familiar tune? :)

    Christians turned this tune into "their song" with Distortion as born again was translated into "believe in Jesus as son of God or go to hell" and this distortion place Jesus alone in a corner where he never asked to be...

    Jesus (or whomever Religious figure you elect to chose) was the first of man to "find God" ; Jesus taught all how to follow him; it is that simple.

    Many a cleric or cleric follower will jump now to proclaim "death" to those whom do not believe...and I say onto you not one will be lost...

    There is much to learn for the clerics whom claim thier narrowed version of reality is the truth for they live in darkness each day they preach damnation...

    Personality is never lost upon the physcal death/spritual birth as you are always you, and more! As each has a higher self of a higher awareness you join with that self to exchange experiences; you are still you and gain the knowledge the higher self held while you visited the physical realm of Earth; ask any question of the higher self and you not only gain the answer, but the background to fulley interpret and understand the the subject matter...nothing is ever lost.

    I can go on and on to tell of what I have learned but whomever has two ears had better listen! :) A quote from an old friend...

    If one looks at the true reality of your Universe you may notice many simalarities in "religion" and non-religious-spritual issues; my point? Again, interpretaions.

    There were 12 Diciples

    There are 12 signs in the Zodiac

    This has to do with spritual issues as there are higher realms each "borrows" tools from to gain experiences desired in this physical Earth; it is all probabilities of free will and the alignments of the Zodiac are about gaining such experience by way of ulitizing certain skills, triats of the self and so on within the physical realm we agree on is physical.

    We often hear of our living in the 3rd demension, the physical world

    Earth is the third planet ; a clue as plantets represent traits of the human experience...

    All of it can be looked at as separate non-related issues or can be looked at as "connected" and by interpretations, distorted.

    Sin is man passing Judgment on man, nothing more, call it guilt and guilt has no place with God.

    Some can ask, how can Jesus Love Hitler ?; Jesus would tell you he knows Hitler and why Hitler did what he did.

    For those of you whom scream in the facade of injury to such a proclamation I would say this is your distance from God, a true mesure of yourself. Yet, Jesus understands this also.

    The physical body also has the Astral body; this is the body that makes up your triats; it is the body that gathers the emotional issues binding them to the self; in life the Astarl body builds the scar tissue of the spritualy damaged self; as you ehter the physical life pure your Astral body takes on all the heat, like armor it tasks the brunt of damage all around you that is inflicted upon you by man alone; Earth is a very Negative place to be; as the Astral body becomes damaged it can in fact "leak"; many whom have been emotionaly truamatized have a leaky Astral body; upon the physical death and spritual re-birth you raise to the higher vibration of higher realms "above" yours now; this Vibration detroys the Astral body and your "free" again to be as you were absent the negative feelings you had on Earth; your still "you" always will be...

    You are made up of your energy (soul) your Astral body (tool gathering sunstance for the physical realm) and the physical self you feel now in this moment you agree to as "time".

    Many cannot image what awaites them at "death"; and I tell you that you are more dead now than ever.

    The heavens that await each are endless. The experiences endless. For those weary of the physical life rest awaits each in the heaven you wish, you may change "heavens" at will as there is no gatekeeper for those like yourself.

    Some may ask how can one rest between reincarnations if one must reincarnate?

    Time is the facade you face each day as this is your expectation and agreements made prior to Earth Birth. Time in any afterlife does not exist. One can spend 1 day or ten thousand years in these realms and it would make no difference at all to you physical status as you may "pop" back into the physical self at will, in any time, in any country of your agreements.

    RELIGIONS ARE THE BELIEFS OF INSTITUTIONS AND NOT TRUTH IN REALITY.

    Learn from them, but do not buy into any one of them for absolute truth as it will evade you.

    Take some time to look at each religion, notice that each has characters that almost parallell characters in religions thousands of years apart; yes, Joshua and Moses did part the waters; both were different characters in different times but each was the same personality teachig the same lesson! How blind can one be! :)

    Was is a fluke that Krishna was nailed to a tree and Jesus to a cross or was it interpretations of the same events?

    :)

    Depsite religions, faith, beliefs, nothing changes truth.

    In truth each will find God and "heaven".

    And as a creator your reality's form as you wish and this is something you have hardly taken the time to undertstand.
