Belief in GOD
by Testing Life on Jul 30, 2008 06:26 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Scenario 1: More than 1 GOD..??

- Can two DRIVERS drive the same BUS at the same Time?
- That mean you were created by X-GOD and your brother created by Y-GOD ??
- Who you have to follow, when both the GODs instruct you different things
- One GOD says "Eat X", the other GOD says " DOnt Eat X", who will you follow?

Scenario 2: Which GOD has to be worshipped?

- Who is the greatest of the TWO God?
- If the GODs both are equal in evertyhing, WHY dont you worship only one GOD?
- If Both the GOD's are not equal in Power, Then why dont you worship the SUPREME powered One?
- If someone says you can Worship anything, my Question, ..who gave you the authority to ask everyone to worship everthing (idols, humans, saints, imams)?
- Do you have the Proof that GOD commanded you to worship him in everything (Idols, pictures, humans.??), if so, show me the proof...


(No, not the proof written by Humans, it should be from GOD).. DO you have the PROOF??
Yes, i HAVE THE proof that GOD commanded MANKIND ONLY TO WORHIP HIM (ALONE).


THE TRUTH:

- There is ONLY ONE GOD, who has created you and me, who has to be Worshipped
- God Has commanded Mankind only to worship him.
- God says whoever worships him will be sent to Heaven finally(after temporary punishment for his misdeeds)
- God warns that Whoever worshipped anything Besides GOD will be sent to Hellfire FOREVER..

And GOD says that there is no compulsion (or force) for Belief in GOD..
OTHERS FOR H

Idol Worship is prohibited in Hinduism:

i. Idol worship, which is very common amongst the Hindus, is prohibited in Hinduism. It is mentioned in Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7 verse 20:

“Those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires they worship demigods i.e. idols.(Bhagavad Gita 7:20)

It is mentioned in:

ii. Svetashvatara Upanishad chapter 4 verse 19


As well as in:

iii. Yajurved Chapter 32 Verse 3

“There is no image of Him”
(Svetashvatara Upanishad 4:19, Yajurved 32:3)


iv. It is also mentioned in

Yajurveda Chapter 40 verse 9

“They enter darkness those who worship natural things (for e.g. air, water, fire, etc.). They sink deeper in darkness those who worship sambhuti i.e. created things (for e.g. table, chair, car, idol etc.)
(Yajurved 40:9)

Only you have to explain the 'divine thoughts' that are generated during the worship an entity that has a Elephant head and travels on Rat.

In Egypt they have Human face and Lion body GOD(Spinx),in Greece they had Cat faced human God.
Every facet of such portryal is a grave insult to the splendour and beauty of GOD,the creator of the universe.

These kind of fantasises are always part of many civilzations rooted in paganism, against which many Prophets of GOD fought against.

It is not prohibited. It says if you can imagine god in your mind, worship it. But if imagination becomes difficult for you, make an idol worship it and later you will reach the stage of idolless "Nirakar" worship. Hindu religion provides flexibility to you without enforcing things unnecessarily.

Dude... this is exactly why your freaking religion is junk.

Your faiths say "There is only one God" whereas Hinduism says "There is only God". Every damn thing is God - so you better respect the other person because he is God and so are you. This is the essence of Vedanta and the Advaita philosophy. It requires a certain maturity in thinking to follow the REAL hindu philosophy. Unfortunately the whites branded our religion as polytheistic when it is really "omnitheistic".

#2. In Hinduism we encourage raising questions. You take any of our scriptures - be it Bhagavad Gita or the Upanishads. They are all in a Q&A format. So a disciple is encouraged to ask questions to his master and defy the accepted norm. Now the onus is on the master to explain to the disciple the philosophy underlying various norms and practices. Now if the disciple isn't convinced he can quit this school of thinking and either join another or propose his own philosophy of things which of course may or may not find followers.

So ours is a religion and culture which have a variety of paths to choose from and abide by.

After all one embraces a religion to guide him/her to lead an organized and fruitful life.

Unlike the other "monotheistic" religions, we don't order anything. We give people the freedom of choice.

What more do you want?

what goes by the name hinduism is just a mixture of pagan belifes put together.You will not find one single common ground between two hindus just a village apart.The only thing that unites is caste and some meaning less rituals.

You only deceive yourself by calling this self contradictions as flexibility.
