Divine power?? Mine derives from "stillness". Call it "Union with God" if you like, its a calm, blissful, conscious and yet out of this world experience.

if the folks go pray for numbers from the divine and heng heng tio beh pio.
lidat can consider encounter with the divine power?
Sorry but that falls under probability
Does this mean that King David was born in the wrong time? If he was brought before Jesus, Jesus would have said to King David and Bathsheba, "Go and sin no more" thus denying justice to Uriah?
For the resurrection power of Christ made all things new with the past forgiven. Therefore Jesus' doctrine of grace denies justice to the innocent?
I do not understand how the New Testament "effectively abrogates" this practice using the Parable of the Talents.
and where does christ story originates from?? the bible.....and how do you know if its true? word of god....where does god come from??? the bible....and who wrote the bible?? 22 men with editing, cut and paste...and etc...
and the cycle goes on and on and on and on..............

Doctrine is an interesting subject, don't you think so?You need to apply that to every religion, every autobiography and every newspaper. How do you know that a reported fact is true? Could it not be distorted by the owners?
How do we know that you wrote those words, for that matter?
I resolved those uncertainties by adopting certain assumptions so I can conclude you wrote them.
Possibly. They may slant it to their owners' beliefs. But luckily they are not all we have to give us guidance. Our brains and hearts help to make sense of them.
So trust your brain and heart. If all religion is made up, then where is that truth that your brain and heart is pointing you to?
At a stage in my life I did a lot of questionings and asking the same questions over and over again to different people. Today I can handle a lot of questions from others. But my answers may not satisfy them, even as they satisfy me.
What I want to say is: if you do not believe in religions, then accept that as your starting point. Find your own questions and search for the answers. One day you will be satisfied.
Religion is simple.. just pray to the ONE Creator and never to HIS creations. Who did Adam pray to? who did Noah pray to and who did all the prophets including Jesus ..yes Jesus prayed ! ANd He Prayed to the Creator.Belief is simple. God IS ONE there is NO One like HIM and He can never be like HIS creations whether it be the Spirit or humans or animals like cows and elephants and monkeys.

My religion is Hinduism and I like this religion because In my religion every single person believe in god and worship the God regularly. Hindu people do not eat food with praying god.
Why should Adam pray when he can see, walk and talk with God?
You sound, to me, like a person who will hurt another human being if he does not share your belief.

in truth, there's no such thing as religions................
religion is a relative concept of the human mind.......................
just as the buddha said.................''there are no buddhas and no teachings.................''

Religion is not a concept. It is a belief system that helps a person to get on in life and give shape to the after-life.
There are too many things in life that is unfair, unjust and inequitable. Humans have a propensity to evil and indifference. Without religion, Man and Woman will denigrate. Even with religion, they practice evil but with the forgiveness of grace, mercy and faith. Evil can be done by these people: christians who go around saying 'the infinite grace and mercy of God', non-christians who condemn the christians, ex-christians who feel that christians are hypocrites and they are not.
Without religion, there is truly no hope.
If there are truly no buddhas and no teachings, then why was this statement attributed to Buddha and become part of the religious text (i am assuming that you did not make this up yourself)
The fact that it is quoted, believed in and acted upon, means that it entered the realm of religion.

just as you can call a table as a chair...................and a chair as a table................''religion'' is just the name of a relative concept invented by humans............
Buddha said words are only meant to convey his messages and ideas to the people.................like a raft used to cross a river..................words themselves have no reality............
the words ''buddha'' and ''teachings'' are relative concepts used by humans to differentiate the ''buddha'' from normal people and ''teachings'' from non-teachings...............
go read up the Diamond Sutra.......................see if you can get your mind to understand it................

not just religion is a concept...................everything is a concept................the main word here is relative..............
consider this..................without other colours..................you can't say white is white....................you also can't say white isn't white................
I do not think there is God ..I know.
I consider myself more of a Christian than you , if by being Christian means to follow closely in the footsteps of Jesus.
I consider your last post truly offensive so I shall not respond to it.
Peace Be with you.
It is fine by me that you consider yourself a superior Christian.
No need to respond if you do not wish to.
