Joshian Problems with Christianity Written by Dr Kedar Joshi, PBSSI, MRI
A: 1. Jesus Christ claimed himself to be son of God. 2. It’s also said that God sent his only son (Jesus) to earth for... 3. On other hand, Jesus himself is believed to be God.Points 1 and 2 clearly suggest that God and Jesus are both conceptually and ontologically different entities. Thus point 3 is in contradiction with points 1 and 2. This contradiction could be resolved if term God is meant to denote a form of species like term Man. However, term God is not at all meant to be a Species but rather a unique almighty entity, over and above everything in universe. B: Where are heaven and hell located ? Up ? If yes, then after few hours they will be down, as earth is spherical and revolves around itself. C: What’s nature of mind, according to Christianity ? Is it spatial or non-spatial ? D: What's mechanism or way one goes to heaven / hell after death ?
| | Spring into God's LoveWritten by Paul Griffitts
Spring is springing here in Pacific Northwest plants and trees are blooming. We are fast approaching Christian celebration of Easter Sunday and if my Catholic is correct we should be in Lent right now.Lent is a Catholic season of soul-searching and repentance. Lent is a time for reflection and taking a good look at what our lives are all about. By observing forty days of Lent, individual Catholic imitates Jesus' withdrawal into wilderness for forty days. This would account for gesture of, "Giving up something for Lent". I was Catholic when I was growing up in New York City, back then giving up something for Lent which started forty days before Easter Sunday, kicked off by Ash Wednesday, (which is a whole other story in itself) I tried my hardest to give up something I really liked, something like RC Cola. It never worked and mainly because I didn't understand why I was giving something up. Today I understand it and in some twisted way symbolic gesture of giving up something we like between days of passion and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ seems like a good idea since our Heavenly Father gave up His only begotten Son for our sins least we can do is take a break from Starbucks Lattes or something like that.
