"These messengers have included Abrahamic figures - Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, as well as Dharmic ones - Krishna, Buddha, and others"

That sounds like throw all religions in a blender. It seems an attempt to unity all religions into one.

Yeah but I'm not Baha'i so don't ask me to defend it

It is a trash. High school kids can do that.

Me: Expert on one, good on two more, general on the other two.
You: ? (may be less then one in general understanding?). Tell me which one you are good at, and I will challenge you on that.

"The other two". Right.

I thought there were 4200 religions and not 5?

I refuse your challenge.

Ok so again I ask, if all religions require faith without evidence, why have faith in Christianity instead of another religion?

because Jesus Christ is the only Lord Who saves all humans directly to abundant and everlasting life in His Heavenly Father preaching the faith of overall love and participation in the mission of overall salvation, while the other lords protract and foil the true salvation by introducing and leading the people to a misleading path of self-interested or privately interested spiritual realization and bringing desecration/defilements of disorder to the world, or who else among the lords has ever saved every perished human that he ever met by casting out the devilish spirits of the possessed, healing the sick, recovering the invalid, resurrecting the dead, and preaching the Word that is not unfavorable/harmful to any person?!

Blessings

Not at all. You got the logic wrong.

In what way?

I proposed four deities, one for each of the fundamental forces. You suggested that these deities were superfluous; that we need not invoke the magical intervention of supernatural agents in order to explain these forces. That sounds pretty atheistic to me.

The problem is on how you say things precisely.

While we do not know the origin of these forces, we do can define and describe these forces. What are you going to "explain" about them? We do not need to invoke God to "explain" every physics problem.

I only know major religions. I think the other 4100+ religions are either copycats or very shallow. If you like challenge (obvious not), you can name an odd one, and we can take a look of it. In fact, I am pretty interested to have a chance to do it. Like the Bara... one, it only takes a few minutes to be dismissed.

in what way is this proof of Christianity's accuracy?

also, many other religions have theologies surrounding salvation.

Again, that sounds like atheistic thinking to me, juvenissun. ;) You are suggesting that it is superfluous to posit deities as an answer to every problem we encounter.

Not to every problem.

Just like to teach geology in Creationism. One chapter for creation, 15 chapters for rigorous geological science. I can tell you the facts of good and bad about vitamin pills. You need to ask God on whether you should take it.

Do not argue for the sake of argument. You need to LEARN. If you do not learn anything by talking to me, then quit the talking.

Which problems specifically? I might argue that the fundamental forces are still poorly understood, and that they can never be understood, except by invoking the four gods that guide them.

I was hoping that you would learn something from the exchange as well, particularly given the interesting role reversal that occurred when you were posed with the Gods of the Four Fundamental Forces.

it is not about religion, but faith, moreover right faith, while the religion could be vain, because when it comes to effective full salvation and life's provision, then there should be no compromise in quality, but the human religion and spirituality was quite inclined to make compromises in that regard, however, the purpose is not to be caused evil to any person either by villainy or judgment, but the evil to be overcome with good

the Bible is the only original spiritual writing(s) that reveal(s) the entirely good treatment towards the neighbors(cohabitants) so that no one might suffer/perish

Saying that it's based on faith only supports my proposition that there is no reason to believe one religion over another.

That doesn't make Christianity true, nor is that statement objectively true. Have you actually read the scriptures of every other religion? Can you provide evidence to support that statement?

I particularly like the passages about beating your slaves half-dead, not sparing the rod with your kids and eradicating entire populations. Also Isaac´s fake execution. There some more nuggets of spiritual advice concerning the entirely good treatment of your neighbour with no one suffering. :thumbsup:

Christian God gives a lot teaching to human. That is functional.

What does the Weak Force god teach human about the Weak Force? If nothing, then why do we need this god? Why is this Weak Force god not redundant?
