How is Christianity wrong?
Q. Everything I say is meant to be as open-minded as possible: I have a deep history of general New Age spiritualism, so I come from a similar background of most truth seekers. But the way I see it, what makes Christianity stand out is the facts behind the main man of the faith: Jesus Christ. He made the bold claim that he was the Son of God Himself in a land where that claim was of the highest blasphemy. But the amazing part is that he proves it: Miraculous conception, fulfils many specific prophesies, performs tons of healings and other miricals, shows pure sinlessness, speaks many truths, and in the end rises from the dead. All this with more documentation than many past wars. So I want to make sure, do I have my religion right this… [cont.]

A. First, it's so much more than RELIGION. It's about a relationship with the ruler and creator of all. I believe in Jesus Christ and that's what I seek after, a relationship, which in turn effects how I live (religion). "Christians" do and have had their problems. Not everybody who calls on His name is truly of Jesus. But you have to look at everything in a perspective that makes sense. The ruler and creator of all (God) is perfect and has no equal, therefore that which He created has turned out to be imperfect. We, (His creation) can not be perfect, if we were, it would give the indication that we are equal to God, which we are not. Everything has glitches and failures, computers malfunction, cars depreciate and TVs blowout. People kill,… [cont.]

When will the Atheists and the Religious People (esp. Christianity) ever wake up to the fact that they are ..?
Q. both in the same boat ? I don't see any difference between them - The pot calling the kettle black ? Except , of course a few sincere believers lost in the midst of Christianity and some sincere seekers of truth in the Atheist's camp as well. But I can assure you they are the Eagles or seemingly the ugly ducklings living amongst the earth (Or is it Hell) bound atheists and carnal Christian ducks.? Can you see it - now that I have spelled it out in no uncertain term, Atheists and religious people? What say you all?

Does God reject the seekers who die prematurely?
Q. What if a former Atheist is trying to learn and understand Christianity and then he dies "before he figures it out"? Does he get damned to hell for this failure? Do you think God will say: "Well...you were on the right path, so close, but not close enough. Get lost, Buh-bye!" ? If yes, what can this seeker do to avoid going insane while still alive now that he knows your answer? That sounds like the ultimate frustration.

A. The doors are always open to all who seek to enter. Through our many corporeal existences we have unlimited chances to choose the correct path of moral and intellectual evolution. The present status-quo of attributing God human qualities such as limited forgiveness, wrath and injustice, is false. There is nothing to fear in death. We are created to evolve to our highest, purest form, and in doing that, we are granted eternity to learn. You cannot teach a child in one day, everything he/she needs to learn to be an adult, as in our spiritual evolution, we cannot learn everything we need to evolve in one fleeting corporeal life on this planet when compared to the vastness of eternity.

Is modern Christianity (salvation theology) discouraging people from becoming real Christians?
Q. Christ preached: Seek ye first, the Kingdom of God," and encouraged people to "worship in Spirit." So just put the two phrases together and you get "Spiritual Seeker." He definitely wanted people to go after the light of God and become "Children ot the light." Click on my avatar for the references. But these days people are taught salvation theology, in which a person is "saved" at a particular point in time. You now believe you are saved by the blood and so you are saved. The problem?

Jehovah s Witnesses & Christians: Do you ever wish we could focus more on the Bible?
Q. In my experience in Christianity ( Christendom ), it s mostly 50-50, but that has changed over the years. The trend is to study the Bible a lot less and focus more on topical books or videos. For example, in my small-group study we have focused on the Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman and the Bait of Satan by John Bevere. The trouble with focusing on books is that oftentimes, I don t completely agree with the doctrinal positions or it s really superficial stuff.

A. I do agree that people have begun to depend on secondary sources too much. It's okay to read these things in order to see the view points of others, but this is not an excuse to neglect the Bible itself. My personal favorite for a study guide is Our Daily Bread. You can find it at www.rbc.org. It gives a short story lesson each day, but also gives you a certain amount of chapters/verses to read directly from your Bible each day. So not only are you studying the view points of others, you're also studying your Bible by itself.

Q. In my experience in Christianity ( Christendom ), it s mostly 50-50, but that has changed over the years. The trend is to study the Bible a lot less and focus more on topical books or videos. For example, in my small-group study we have focused on the Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman and the Bait of Satan by John Bevere. The trouble with focusing on books is that oftentimes, I don t completely agree with the doctrinal positions or it s really superficial stuff.

A. Well, I certainly wouldn't recommend Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan, that would be like jumping from the frying pan into the fire. However, in order to apply for asylum in another country, first you have to actually be there. You can't apply for asylum from your home country. So, figure out where you can get to before worrying about what country you want to apply in.

If God exists...?

And while we are all God's children, we each have our individual path: it may just be that, for whatever reason, or through whatever combination of circumstances, or progression of events in your life path, that the revelation of the existence of God, and some sense of what that should mean for the way you live your life has become pressing and explicit to you.

Q. Hello. Blessings and Peace. Can the following systems/faith systems be sucessfully united together under a single doctrine, church and God: 1: Islam 2: Judaism 2: Manichaeanism or Nazoreanism 3: Christianity, including Catholics 4: Zoroastrians The above include all branches of a system. I am in need of a fuller more complete picture and inclusive monotheism will do just that. I will not use the Bible but also the Qur'an, The Gospel of Thomas and the Venidad and the Garthas. I am seeker after the truth, faith, gnosis (personal mystical experience of the truth, and of wisdom. What do you think??? Seeker of God Most High A Nazorean Gnostic Hosanna in the Highest

Do you think Messianic Judiasm is teaching the Truth of Jesus Christ?
Q. Rather than Traditional Christianity is? Many articles on this subject: The Jewish Messiah known to a few Jews as Yeshua is definitely a different Messiah compared to the Hellenistic anti-semitic Jesus Christ that the Church proclaims. Yeshua is a Torah observant Jew observing the Shabbat (sabbath) and commandments of Moses, teaching that those who teach against Torah are lawless (without law) and not His followers.

The Phrase "messianic Judaism" is completely false, Judaism is only used to describe the religion, and "messianic Judaism" is not in any way shape or form a part of the religion of Judaism. To call it such is in effect a lie that insults the Jews who know it's not Judaism, and the christians who know it is christianity.
