Religion & Spirituality - 20 August 2006

I really find it interesting that Christians argue evolution, and try to use holy books from other religions which they openly condemn to prove their God is the one and only. Why is that?

I saw "Mr Nerdlinger" imply that Christianity only makes sense to someone if they have a low IQ. Here's a list of famous Christian scientists.

How low do you think their I.Q.s were?

Peace!

All the Holy Scriptures of all world-religions which were written thousands of years before Jesus was even born have foretold, taught and have prophecised about the virgin birth of the saviour of mankind. "The Christ" means "the saviour" and only one man in History has been called "Christ" and he is Jesus. Only Jesus's birth, life and death, fulfills the prophecies of these great World-religions. Jesus is the "messiah". The Vedas, the Tripitaka, the Torah and the Holy Scriptures were all written thousands of years before Jesus was born in which they fortell about the birth of the saviour (meaning The Christ) from a virgin who is the messiah. In History, till date, Only one man's birth, life and death, fufills these prophecies and that is Jesus Christ. Read the Rig Vedas, Bhagavad Gita, the Torah, the Tanakh, the Tripitaka etc. to discover Jesus.

I've watched his weekly program a few times out of sheer curiosity and have not heard a single message that is truly rooted in Christ's teachings. To me he is just a motivational speaker who sprinkles in bible versus the way I use to sprinkle barely relevant quotes into papers when I was in high school. I don't even understand why the "members" have their bibles out during the "service". Probably because they bought the bible in Joel Osteen's gift shop. Between the weak message and the constant barrage of advertisements to buy his book and the dvd of this week's "message", I'm left feeling sorry for those who consider this their way to "Keep Holy the Sabbath".

Please, set me straight if I'm wrong, but only if you have a good argument. I took many theology and philosophy classes in college and am a religious education teacher at my church, so weak arguments aren't going to work on me.
