today I learned that Hinduism is a Messianic faith (not in the Christian understanding of course, but still, this is interesting)

 

[graciesings]

^ Interesting. How exactly is that?

I was trying to learn Japanese..still might try. It's so hard

Messianic refers to the idea of a person coming and making everything perfect

For Christians, it is the second coming of Jesus
for Jews it is an as yet unnamed Messiah
Muslims believe that before Judgment Day there will be a ruler who comes

even King Arthur can be seen as a Messianic figure, he is supposed to return when England is in the most need

anyways, back to Hinduism
they believe that the god Vishnu has had 9 avatars or incarnations, and the 10th avatar is a warrior on a white horse who will wipe away evil and bring the world into a New Age

I never knew this was a Hindu belief before


also, John Frum in the Cargo Cult religion is super interesting
Messianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yes, I can see a certain Messianic element in there.

In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna (one of the various names they
have for God) says:

"Whenever righteousness wanes and unrighteousness
increases I send myself forth. For the protection of the good
and for the destruction of evil, and for the establishment of
righteousness, I come into being age after age." (BG 4:7–8)​

I think there are even some in Hinduism who include Jesus among the
avatars that have done this.

It's almost like this world has a Divine thermostat-setting—when it heats
up too much, God intervenes, in physical form, to cool it back down again.

The pic's URL looks like it's your computer's hard-drive, so that's why it's
not appearing. However, if you click on the paper-clip icon in the
post-editor (next to the text-color icon), you can upload it that way, as an
attachment. It'll appear in thumbnail-size, but clicking on the image will
bring up it's full-size.

I've attached a pic, below, as an example of how it will look. To enlarge it,
just click on it.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Chaela, so is something wrong with my hard drive? I'm still trying to figure things out. I can surf the web fine but don't know how to do pics and vids and all that. I think you helped out now I just need to take some time and figure it out.

To post an image on your hard drive (excluding one you made yourself), copy and paste images.google.com into your browser --> click in the search bar, and click on the camera icon (Search By Image) that appears next to the Search button --> Click the Upload an image tab --> Click Browse, and select the image on your hard drive --> Click on the preferred size of the image for Google to display (All Sizes, Small, Medium, Large) --> Click on the desired picture and click View Image --> Right click on the picture and hit Copy Image Location OR simply copy the url in the address bar --> Go to the CF page where you wish to post the image and hit the

button, and paste in the url --> Click OK.

For images already online, simply copy/paste the image url into the same place on CF.

Posting youTube videos is as simple as copying and pasting the YouTube url into the body of your post.

Easy as.
