time of destruction is at hand the intellect becomes perverted."
Vridha Chan. 16:17.
TOPIC OF
DISCUSSION
Five
tests of true religion.
1. It must exist in its entirety from the beginning of creation for
all of mankind.
Oppose
- Millions
born before Moses were deprived of the “Ten commandments”. An injustice, which cannot be the work
of a Compassionate and Merciful God.
2. It must conform to (immutable) natural laws.
Oppose
- The cause of the physical body is
the reproductive element - any other method as man was created from dust is
a breach to this law.
3. It must be in harmony with reasoning.
Oppose
– Incest, which results in mental and
physical infirmities, is an immoral action and it had to be the same also
in the beginning (creation of one man and one woman).
4. It must be in harmony with science.
Oppose
- Modern science has proven creation
to be more than 6,000 years old a contradiction to the revelation of the
Torah.
5. Its truth must be confirmed by four
evidences :-
(i) Direct Cognition - Not all that is known by perception can be true.
(ii) Inferences - God is eternal therefore we can infer that there were
past creations and as well as there will be future ones.
(iii) Testimony - The testimonies of Rishis, sages and seers of the Vedas
(altruistic teachers are all in harmony with each other. (iv) History -
There are many books (Mahabharata, Valmiki's Ramayan) and source of other
civilization which speak of the past ancient Vedic (Aryan) civilization of
5,000 years ago and earlier. Let's be reasonable when it comes the most
abstruse science of God (wisdom), that the ignorant and the wise can never
achieve the same rewards.
"So the Lord sent pestilence upon
Israel and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men." 1 Chron.21:14
Can this God of Judaism ever be free
of making himself restless? On the house of Israel that He had blessed so
often and for whose welfare He had been exerting himself day and night he
sends pestilence in a fit of rage and destroyed 70,000 men. Some poet had
said, "He that is pleased in one moment and displeased in the next, in
other words, whose pleasure and displeasure are momentary, is to be feared
even when pleased." This is an absolute truth of the Jewish God.
Redemption
is a fool's passport to a fool's paradise. All theories or
facts, theological or scientific, must conform with
NATURAL
LAWS
