  • It is not only the Christian Worldview that claims exclusively to be the truth, as is commonly (and erroneously) thought. Rather, all major world religions and worldviews claim to be exclusively true in their perspective on reality. Atheism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Polytheism, etc all claim to be the sole possessors of truth.
    How then can we know which one is correct (if any)? By subjecting them to WORLDVIEW TESTS in which we investigate how they answer the questions of Origin, Meaning, Morality, and Destiny.
    Other worldview test will include internal consistency, experiential relevancy, and scientific adequacy.
    Of all the Worldviews, philosophies, and world religions that exist/have existed, which one best explains the known features of our reality with the most COMPREHENSIVE and INTELLECTUALLY SATISFYING ?? The classical Christian Theistic Worldview.

    The 100% accuracy of Bible prophecy, including those for the end time, is how I know Christianity is true, and Jesus Christ is the Savior. There's a reason why the Bible is the #1 best selling and most distributed Book of all-time... and that is to fulfill the Great Commission which Jesus had prophesied,"Go into every nation with the My gospel".

      @@abhmd4481 the fact that there are multiple interpretations of “the perfect word of God” is proof that 1 or more of 3 things are true of an omniscient and omnipotent Yahweh:
      1. He is not omniscient. An omniscient God would know exactly how that message would be received.
      2. He is not omnipotent. A maximally powerful God that is able to perfectly achieve anything he desires would be able to word a message such that it cannot be misinterpreted.
      3. If 1 & 2 are true, he is a liar or vile. If an all-knowing all-powerful God purposefully sends a message knowing full well it will be interpreted incorrectly, such as being used to justify slave trades a few hundred years ago, then he willingly sent them an untrue message. Unless you are willing to contend that he MEANT for them to interpret it as “Slave trade is ok” then he is an absolutely vile God that should not be worshipped.

      We could never a life worthy of God on our own. So Jesus lived a life without sin on our behalf. And then he died the painful death our sins deserve. John 3:17 says, “God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.” By sacrificing himself for us on the cross, he took the punishment for all of our sins at once. This made him the ultimate sacrifice -once and for all satisfying the demands God’s justice required. That is why we call Jesus “Lamb of God.”

      Others do not need to claim that. In Norse pagan belief, there is no need of a savior. In Judeo-Christian teachings we are all condemned to hell for the original sin of mankind when Adam and Eve at the fruit. Only to be redeemed by a belief and acceptance of Jesus Christ who died for us. So then by that set of rules, a young child of 3 months who dies is damned to hell. If you want to deny that, show me the scripture, but I’ve read it. If that God, Yahweh, does exist then I do not hold him to be a God worthy of veneration, that he would damn a 3 month old child for the sins of his original ancestors.
      From a Norse heiðinn perspective, I contend that the child’s soul and mind are at rest in Helheim, under the protection and care of Hel, goddess of the dead appointed by Óðinn. (Not to be conflated with Lucifer’s Hell in the Judeo-Christian tradition) This child is with his ancestors and his orlogg now contributes to his parent and older brothers that survive him. No need for acceptance of a savior because a 3 month old child is not responsible for anything nor capable of accepting any oaths or beliefs.

      Origin: we were created by the Gods, specifically Óðinn, Vili, and Ve.
      Meaning: we are to live our life with honor and courage until the day we are fated to die. Our life culminates in the legacy we leave for our sons, daughters, relatives, and those we have adopted into our frith web through ties of friendship and love.
      Morality: We take care of those that care for us. We build frith bonds with those around us, in our village (however widespread that may be, even digitally) and we honor our ancestors who have guided us to where we are today; or in some cases deny the path of those ancestors who have lead their legacy down a broken path and instead forge a new one for our legacy.
      Destiny: our hugr (soul) and fylgja (mind) go to rest in Helheim (NOT Hell) under the care of Hel, the Goddess of the dead appointed by Óðinn, where they watch over and offer spiritual aid to their legacy. Our hamr (body) returns to the earth. Lastly, our hamingja (luck) is added to the ancestral luck of those that survive us.
      Other religions can answer all of those and claim that Gods exist and the universe exists.

    Mark, the oldest of the Gospels, was written at least 30 years after Christ's death, and the newest of them might have been written more than 200 years after his death. These texts have been amended, translated, and re-translated so often that it's extremely difficult to gauge the accuracy of current editions-even aside from the matter of the accuracy of texts written decades or centuries after the death of their subject. This is such a problem that the Jesus Seminar, a colloquium of over 200 Protestant Gospel scholars mostly employed at religious colleges and seminaries, undertook in 1985 a multi-year investigation into the historicity of the statements and deeds attributed to Jesus in the New Testament. They concluded that only 18% of the statements and 16% of the deeds attributed to Jesus had a high likelihood of being historically accurate. So, in a very real sense fundamentalists-who claim to believe in the literal truth of the Bible-are not followers of Jesus Christ; rather, they are followers of those who, decades or centuries later, put words in his mouth.

    Buddha was not a real Arya, but part Mleccha who also followed Vedic system but were not ethical and morally as strong and so initially had not been allowed inside Aryavart, officially. After Mahabharat things changed and many started to invade or migrate. Buddha is known as Sakya Muni and belonged to the Saka clans. They all admired the Arya was and wanted to be like that which is why he went to meditate etc. What he was teaching people was not anything knew but what he had learnt and assimilated. He had probably joined a gurukul. Most people like Ravi do not know what are the actual implications of meditating, what preparations are required etc. If people read all that they will know that it cannot be done without a real guru (unlike many today), one has to do rigorous studies, practices etc. after which one may qualify to go solo.
    Buddha had taken on the task of teaching the Mleccha migrants about Vedic, Sanatan Dharma as practiced by the local Arya descendants. He wanted them to be peaceful and not cruel like Ashoka (who was not the only cruel non-Arya king in those days.) Such people had obviously become his enemies since he was challenging their lifestyles and many had tried to kill him.
    In later years, his followers (once again) started to forget the actual teachings and were more into copy-cat behaviour which is harmful. Just the way one may be warned not to do a circus act at home. So then, concerned people like Shankracharyaji had to go on a mission to teach people how to do things correctly rather than just blindly copying. Also, the mlecchas mainly spole Praktrit which is a distorted way of speaking Sanskrit. This was ruining many of the original meanings of the Vedic teachings. Maya is like a voice operated computer system and saying the correct word correctly is important.( For example, if you say fan instead of tan, it is going to change the meaning.) And yet they did manage to preserve a lot of the knowledge in writing and stored it in monastries in modern day Tibet. From there a lot was stolen by Hitler and from their by the Allied forces. They are still trying to figure out the meanings which they know hold a lot of power. Even though they may not admit it, everyone wants a piece of that pie, no matter what they may say to people's faces.

      Caste system came into India with the dawn of the age of Kaliyuga which is the current time (read about this and you will understand the predictions given in hinduism which are now true), caste system which is actually called varna ashrama was a distinction of people based on their karma, that means if you are in any ruling position like kings, politicians, bureaucrats,etc are called kshatriya, priests are called Brahmins, service based workers as Shudras and traders as Vaishyas, this caste of a person is decided by what he does in life not by hereditary, that means your caste is not decided until you decide in life what is your calling/karma, if you chose to be a soldier then you are a kshatriya, if you chose to be a businessman then you are a Vaishya and so on. but after the dawn of this evil era, Brahmins and Kshatriyas got evil and started enforcing their laws onto the shudras to gain control over their kingdoms, Kshatriyas would obey to brahmins bcoz they were priests and so the shudras were the ones persecuted, nowhere in the vedas or bhagvad gita it is written that the caste of a person is decided by his birth, and nowhere is it written in the vedas that one caste is greater than the other, in fact they say the Karma is what decides the fate of a human being. Christian Missionaries started spreading lies about hinduism, in fact caste system is the only best thing that they could find to criticize hinduism but when you look at christianity and islam they both are filled with the blood of innocent people, islam is doing it as we speak, you will not find that every in hindu scriptures, and India is the most pluralistic society in the world even before america, do you know the first mosque was built in medina and then next mosque was built in India in the southern part, do you know how that is possible, because Hindus welcome all the faiths and hinduism allows it in their scriptures, in fact during the holocaust some jews migrated to India they were welcomed and protected, India is the only country which never discriminated against any religion, go and ask jews and also the zorastrians whose coutry iran is now completely islamic, you can find them in only India, all this because hinduism is an open religion, if you ask any hindu to accompany you to church or a mosque he will come with you unlike you guys or muslims who foul-mouth hindu gods and godesses, and another misconception hinduism believes in one god. One last thing according to hindu scriptures christians or muslims or gays or other homosexuals will not go to hell just because they don't believe in hindu gods, in fact if they do their karma then they will meet the hindus who do good karma in heaven. peace!!!!

      I am not referring to the misunderstandings that may have entered or the popular notions in the minds of people. But fact is, Varnashram is NOT the same as caste system. Varnashram in general is based on karma both past and present. Caste is an 'invention' of the British who had many in their country such as the lords and the serfs. They have always had battles between different faiths such as Protestant and Catholic. Realistically speaking it is wrong to say that India was open to all faiths. Although they did accept asylum seekers the way many countries do today and allowed them to practice their faith provided they followed the laws of the land. Since British and Mughals before them were not actually asylum seekers but invaders, they had no real intention of being peaceful migrants. This is why there were numerous wars the most famous ones being those with Sivaji and Rana Pratap. But since these guys were relentless and forced, co-erced, manipulated people into conversions mainly by killing and raping, their offspring, being Indian citizens, had to be tolerated, which brings us to the confusion of modern Indian. In the ancient days, people were fiercely protective of Sanatan dharma because its the one and only truth about this Maya system that we live in. Many people have dedicated their lives for the protection of this, for example Sri Shankracharyaji etc. And FYI please do not assume I am a Christian just because my name sounds like one.
      Thank You.

My children have free-will, but many times I block their will to save them from unnecessary pain and grief. Only the law of Karma van begin to address this issue with some degree of coherence...it doesn't address it perfectly, but it addresses the issue of human suffering much better than Christianity seems too; btw, I consider myself to be a Christian...a disillusioned Christian, but a Christian.

      John Yohannan how do you know that God doesnt block / guide you away sometimes from doing bad stuff? Just for a experiment, suppose that you where God for a couple of weeks and able to block what you see as evil. Would you do a better job? And how do you discern what is evil? This is not an easy question. I read a while ago that a well known atheist in australia became christian after he became very sick, i think he got a stroke. This is very common, suffering and pain lead people to a relationship with God. Because when everything was nice and dandy, they didnt think about deeper questions. So when is evil bad? How do we know the end result?

      No free will, no love. Simple. Yes there is pain and suffering, but God offers an answer that is greater than all the suffering in the world. His peace. God definitely is holding back some of the evil in the world. I have no doubt if God allowed all hearts to harden, the world would be a much worse place to live.

Either God doesn't exist, or He doesn't care, or He is not all powerful. I will let you Christians decide. Any theological twisting and turning you do is impotent in my eyes.

      @@johnyohannan203 bad things happened because mankind was cursed by God to die. Adam and Eve knew what would happen and still chose to disobey. Because they had free will. Because if God created man without free will, we would be mindless robots. It would not be just and it would not be loving. This is the underline fact. From here: suffering and pain. Death. Eternal death. But the good news is, we don’t have to be a part of that. We will still suffer things such as pain and sickness and death as a part of our curse. But wickedness and cruelty like torture or all the horrible things people do, that is from man or from demonic influence, not from God. God didn’t have to come and die for us. He could’ve left us to rot for our own choices. But he did. Because he doesn’t want that for us. BECAUSE God is just and perfect, he must hate sin and evil. BECAUSE God is righteous, he must condemn sinners. because God is loving he gave us a way to escape, with his own blood. God has done what he said he would do since the very start, without lie. So to answer the why do bad things happen: God sees. It grieves him to see us suffering. But if he intervened in every single way to stop those things, which he has the ability to do, then this life would be pain free and like heaven. That’s what was promised to man but we lost it. And it’s still promised, in the next life. But for now we live in a fallen state. Thank you Jesus for your mercy because none of us deserves what he did to save us from that death, for OUR sins. For my sins, and yours. I hope you find the truth, I love you.

      Actually Hindus are not interested in converting anyone unless they live in India and are a threat to India, examples are Christians and Muslims, I personally want buddhism to be an individual religion, which it is, I am just stating facts here, that there are some budhhist temple which have a demon protecting them as a statue, which is supposed to be Ravana who asked for that position before dying and Rama(incarnation of VIshnu) said in Kaliyuga he would come, which was Budhha, now this is the mythology from Hindu and some Budhhist perspective, BTW I am an atheist.

    Nonsense , these people find ways to insult or supress other belief , praise their own religion , These people think they are following Jesus just because they follow bible and church , yet still they praise Yahweh which is Judaic god. Bible is full of misinterpretation of teaching of Jesus, Gospels were incorporated into bible to form useless religion so called extension of Judaism so called Christianity. Teaching of Jesus has nothing to do with belief or faith , Only through self realisation one will attain his salvation, Jesus makes it very clear the “ You are the light” , you have come from the light , you shall return there”.
    God is light which means light is taken as a metaphor for spirit , God is spirit
    Which has come into being on its own (the one without a second), It’s is the origin of all / everything, hence Jesus calls the light : the spirit as the father, All things came into being through him, Apart from him nothing came into being, which has come into being “
    What is spirit? It’s nothing but the consciousness and it’s holy by itself, “you’re body is the temple of Holy Spirit” , you are that , is it not the same consciousness within you , trees, plants, animals and every single being on earth, this consciousness : spirit is the subtle essence of the entire universe , like the saltiness in water which cannot be seen yet still it exists, you. Are that too “You are the salt of the earth”, what if this saltiness is gone”.
    Being like this how can Jesus be different from the father, & how come you and I are different from It that’s why Jesus said “ love others as you love yourself “
    “We all live in him , move in him , and have our being.”
    Kingdom of God is nothing but this manifestation, which has manifested in the lotus of your heart , is very subtle than a mustard seed , yet it is greatest of all heavens and earths.”
    Consciousness is the only truth , what’s meaning of truth ? An entity which can not be denied that doesn’t exist at all the time , ie which alway exists without a beginning and end this light /consciousness/spirit is the only truth, that is why Jesus called himself as the truth.
    We humans are intellectually vary when compared to other being on earth , hence we understand this manifestation of God , hence why jesus said, you are worthy than thousand sparrows”.
    There’s no religious context in what Jesus spoke , it’s core spiritual, so wake up and follow Jesus and live in reality, don’t fall prey for deceptive doctrine thought by the church, fools like him
