    Deity of Jesus Christ

    . First we have to describe who God is? There is a description in the Indian tradition: sat. Sat means a self existing being. Its existence does not depend on any other being. It has no beginning and an end. Any object that has a beginning and an end is called asat. So the question is : is...

    What do you think the Good News of Jesus Christ is?

    God told Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply. This is not limited to the physical multiplication of Children. It means to manifest divine attributes of love and compassion in human relationships. We need to multiply what is necessary to the human beings. Jesus Christ did not multiply...

    Why would God create Evolution?

    God is not the author of evolution. Evolution is the work of human soul that is born of the union of the divine spark and the primordial matter that also comes from God. The purpose of evolution is to create a body,mind and self consciousness that can become the vehicles of the divine spark.

    What do you think the Good News of Jesus Christ is?

    I see there are various archetypes: Moses is an archetype who represents the Law, the Old Covenant. John the Baptist,represents an archetype, who announces the end of the Old Covenant and arrival of the New Covenant. Virgin Mary is an archetype who discontinues the God of Abraham,Isaac and Jacob...

    The Trinity

    Trinity means that God is relationship. Life is relationship. God is like the Sun,fullness of Being. This fullness radiates just as the Sun radiates.There is subtle difference between the Sun and its radiance, even though it is one Sun. This radiance which is dependent on God acts like a mirror...

    What do you think the Good News of Jesus Christ is?

    Jesus proclaimed the good news of the kingdom of God with the words: the time has come to an end. The kingdom of God is at hand, repent and believe in the goodnews. Matthew writes: repent,for the kingdom of God is at hand. The kingdom of God has many aspects: ultimately it means to transform...

    Original Sin Contradicts the Gospels

    Original sin has to be understood in two levels: unconscious original sin and conscious original sin. When children are born they are born with the original blessing. They are like a pure mirror where the divine spark is reflecting. But they are also in original sin in the sense that they are...

    Comparison of Christianity and Judaism

    For Judaism God is the creator and human beings are creatures of God. For Jesus God is not a creator but God manifests this creation. Human beings are manifestations of God and are ultimately one with God. For Judaism God is only their God.They are the chosen people of God. For Jesus God is the...

    What Happens When You Die?

    What is death? Death is discontinuity. Everything that has a beginning has an end. Our body has a beginning and when dies it goes back in the primordial matter from which it came. Our soul has a beginning and so it will have an end. What is the essence of the soul? The soul is the combination...

    Who repsonsible for the death of Jesus?

    We can look at it from different angles: the external situations, the people who are involved, Jesus' own stand. Death is something everyone has to face it whether we want or not. We need to blame someone or something. If Jesus accepted his death as the will of God for him, that was his role in...

    The "something can't come from nothing" argument

    This is an excellent argument. I would like to propose a new hypothesis: There are two creations: one that comes from God and another is the product of creation. The creation that comes from God is not created by God out of nothing but it is the radiance of God, just as the Sun radiates its...

    there is NO evidence AGAINST Evolution...

    It is my opinion that we need to accept the scientific of evolution. For me evolution which began with the big bang is not the work of God directly. God did not start the big bang. The big bang is started by the human soul which is the reflection of the spark of God in the primordial...

    If god created anything at all.

    There are two creations: one that comes from God and another that comes indirectly comes from God through the human soul propels the universe or multiverse through big bang. The creation that comes from God is like the Sun that radiates. God's creation is always happening. Does the Sun stop...
