priest: believe in christ for he is your saviour, and follow all the church's rules.. those who heard his name but rejected him will go to hell for eternity..
eskimo: father, if i havent heard his name during life till i die, will i go to heaven?
priest: yes.. because it is physically imposible for you to have heard without us missionarries..
eskimo: then why d hell do you have to tell me his name? Screw you!
langit na tana ko..
in a sliding scale.. there are different standards used.. just like in quantfication there is the english system and the SI system.. you cant say 1cm is equal to 1 inch..
there is no way the catholic church is the universal truth..
Enlightenment- the state of being able to see what is beyond good and evil..
No true Enlightenment is understand what is the good and accepting that which is evil, and choosing not to follow it. Enlightenment is knowledge and not living in a self induced haze. Even Science dictates there is Absolute positive and Absolute negative. Most religions distinguish between an Absolute Good and and Absolute Evil. There is nothing beyond that. Enlightenment and Disillusionment has a fine line dividing them, just as Genius and insanity. You can meditate, burn incense, and chant but it does not change what will be. We live in a battlefield of an anchient conflict between Good and Evil, which is still raging around us. Most are too stupid to even understand that fact. Understand that fact and you then begin to start down the true path of Enlightenment, then make the right choice to decide which side you will stand in this conflict. Most are casualties and are unaware, disillusioned, deceived, and trapped by their ignorance and foolish self pride.
Whether we agree with it or not does not change the judgments. It states clearly ALL MEN will be judged individually. Man will be judged on a sliding scale.
Do you think that a just God will judge those before the salvation of Christ, as those after the salvation of Christ?
That he will judge those who have never heard the word, as those that have received the word?
That those who have heard the teachings of Christ and choose to turn their back to him, will be judged as those that have never heard his teachings?
I am a Born Again Christian and follow Christ's Universal church, I am no member of any man made religious authority. I do not allow man to distort Christ teachings, because I follow the 10 Commandments and the New Testament. I bow before no man, call no man father, prey to no graven images, do no repetitious prayer, and do not seek God in temples, churches, or mosque. I fellowship with men, test everything with scripture, I trust the scriptures for the answers.
I do not judge any man, but only proclaim what is Christ and the Creator's words. You may judge me if you like, but that is your sin and your problem. You can get angry because you do not like God's words, that to is your problem. I only say what is by scripture, nothing more and nothing less. Christ said, "I am the only way to my father, only through me." So if you choose another path or worse choose to ignore his words, then that is between you and him. I am not responsible for the paths a men takes, for I can only be responsible for the path I choose to follow.
I hate no man, judge no man, nor do I think that I am better than any other man. I love man enough to proclaim Christ's words of salvation and warnings by the Creator telling us to prepare ourselves. Judge me if you like, hate me if you like, ignore me if you like, or follow if you choose. Christ offers salvation and is the only one who offers everlasting life. Show me another religion or religious figure who can offer that claim. Follow who or what you choose, but Satan only leads to the pit; and he wants to take as many men with him as he can deceive. Please do not be one of them, that choice is only yours to make. Choose wisely, it is not like your eternal soul depends on it; oh yeah, I guess it does.
