I was philosofizing with my brother at Harvard and i think i may have made a decison about religon, what do yo

Question

think?
I belive that first abraham was sent down to make a religon which they called Judiasm. Then because man was stupid they did not do everything he wanted. So he sent down Jesus who then tried to correct this. However, because humans are stupid, they created a new religon. So the God sent down Muhammed who then tried to fix the problems. However, when he was sent down, Humans were stupid and created a third religon. THis seems very plausible as all three religons are very simialr. However, minute differences change them.

Answer 1

You are a baeautiful person

Answer 2

Hmmm, never thought of that! Does that relate to Baha'i in any way? Yes, very logical, yes, makes a lot of sense. That is some good thinking... It's ironic that Jesus and other Bible characters are portrayed as Caucasion, when they could more possibly be Middle Eastern or Black. Even more ironic that the Catholic church has discriminated Jews even though that is where Christianity, Cathcolism, etc. originated from. *sigh* Odd that all theses religions are so similar. Wierd. Religion is so complicated, it even drives people mad.

And by the way...

How did so many generations (in the Bible) become if the world had only started out with Adam and Eve, with there two sons?

If Adam and Eve only had to sons, how does one son run away and marry. Marry who? Adam, Eve, and there two sons are the only people on Earth. (as the Bible states) The only way the sons could have had children would have to be... well you know.

I do, firmly believe in God for my only personal reasons, but that doesn't necessarily that I don't doubt the Bible.

Philosophy is truly something that we should think about. Once again, good thinking my friend.

Answer 3

I disagree. For instance, there are VERY large differences between Judaism and Chrstianity. Judaism can hardly be called a "parent" religion anymore, the two are so different. The latter completely abolished the laws given to the Jews, and in fact directly contradict them with the coming of JC. I can see what you are saying, but logically, I do not think it makes sense to me. For instance, in the Jewish Bible it specifically says what the Messiah is supposed to do. It also is very clear when it says that human sacrifices are not acceptable, and that no man can atone for another man's since. However, Chrstianity is built on these claims, that JC was a sacrifice for the sins of mankind and that he atoned for the sins of the world. If the changes between the religions WERE minute, I could agree with you, but they changes are very broad due to many things such as mistranslations of the script, and changes over the centuries due to falsehood, that the religions are not close together at all anymore, though they may have started that way.

Answer 4

I believe that Jesus is the son of God, and that God sent Him to save us from our sin because since God created us, He knew that we needed some help. I don't believe in Muhammed. As for Abraham, he was a Godly man who obeyed God. Yes, he did make some mistakes, but that is because he is only human. Jesus on the other hand was perfect, because He is God.
You seem to be very smart, but just curious as to whether you have read the Bible or not? God Bless

Answer 5

Abraham had a pack with God and his people became God's chosen people, the Jews. Jesus was Jewish and the Messiah but the Jews did not recognize this, and the Christian religion was born. Islam is a combination of both of the other two plus the law of Hammurabi, Muhammad was influence by ideas from both the Jewish and Christian religions and put all three of these things together.

Answer 6

You are on the right track but not there yet. You need to look into it more deeply and actually read a bit of the sources yourself rather than "philosofizing" based on nothing.

There is One God, the One who created the heavens and the Earth. He made Adam and Eve and sent them to Earth. He gave them instructions on how to live their lives.

People forgot over time.

So God sent more Prophets from time to time to remind them of the true message. Man has been around a long time and we like to disobey God often, so there are many Prophets.

Jesus was sent to the Israelites. Quran says he was a man. How? A big separate debate, but take a look through Bible. Jesus wasn't the only one who called God his Father. The term "Lord" got transalted a few times before it became "Father".

Apart from Bible, read the little known gospels, like the Gospel of Barnabes which was accepted by Christians until banned in 325 A.D. Read it here: http://www.sacred-texts.com/isl/gbar/index.htm

Muhammad was sent them to once again remind people of the true message. By this time, mankind had evolved enough that God, in His wisdom, decided that it is time to finalize the message. You can take a read through Quran here: http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/

God bless.

Answer 7

and what about the Gods of the Norse? or the Ancient Greeks? or the Romans? the Gauls? the Egyptians? the Chinese? Japanese? Cantonese? Indians? Maya? Inkas? Native Americans? list goes on forever....
Some of theses religions were ancient before the Hebrew actually had a cultural identity, let alone a religion... I guess you guys should philosophise a bit more....

Answer 8

Do i think of WWE Made a great Mistake while they released Umaga? for sure, as a count number of reality, a great mistake. Umaga, regardless of weighing in at 350 or so pounds, had an surprising volume of athleticism. After his feud with CM Punk, I truthfully concept he could feud with a returning Undertaker or have a decesnt with with John Morrison. yet Im improper. fairly, he gets slapped interior the face with humiliation and won a observe from the WWE that he has been released! Thats only poor. i in my opinion do experience undesirable for the two Kennedy and Umaga.... It grew to become right into a huge Mistake. Umaga could have been a "back-Up" heel in case side or Chris Jericho could have been injured, you realize what I advise? yet noo Vince together with his pot desperate to launch Umaga. Umaga could have become a important Eventer, thats what i think of. He could have been a international Champion besides, and that i does no longer be shocked if he confronted Undertaker at Wrestlemania, yet back, Vince desperate to allow bypass of Umaga. i'm looking forward to a F'n excuse as to why he grew to become into released.... yet back, it somewhat is WWE in recent times. skill To sell Merchendise + Pop from the gang = fulfillment.. BQ: truthfully, sure and he ought to.

Answer 9

Harvard? Is that Harvard Tennessee? God is the end result of a failed search for truth by a very shallow mind. There are no such things as gods.

Answer 10

Wrong. Jesus didn't CREATE a religion; He fulfilled the prophesies of the OT Messiah, and established Salvation for the sins of Mankind!

muhammed doesn't figure in there ANYWHERE. sorry.

Harvard, huh?

Answer 11

I think the bible is so full of contradictions, such as god being so perfect, yet he has even admitted to making mistakes to himself, such as right before the flood when he felt wrong for creating man in the first place. If god isn't perfect, and keeps having to correct himself, what makes him 'god'?
