It’s not right for them to get angry about it
I didn't get angry by the way
@J_G_ Oh no, I didn't say you were. I mean't other people I have talked to outside of Discord for the last couple of years.
My apologies if it seemed that way. I probably should have worded it better.
It's ok, I didn't know for sure, just wanted to clarify.

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
2 Corinthians 6:14-16 KJV
Bhagavad-Gita must be diabolical, since it offers three easy directions to get to hell, it says to use lust, anger and greed.
it even talks about Democrats:
"Chapter 16, Verse 18
Bewildered by false ego, strength, pride, lust and anger, the demon becomes envious of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is situated in his own body and in the bodies of others, and blasphemes against the real religion."
"Chapter 16, Verse 21
There are three gates leading to this hell-lust, anger, and greed. Every sane man should give these up, for they lead to the degradation of the soul."
"Chapter 16, Verse 24
One should understand what is duty and what is not duty by the regulations of the scriptures. Knowing such rules and regulations, one should act so that he may gradually be elevated."
by the way, the only religious service I attend is JLP's
but I have learned that nobody has the monopoly on the Truth. the Truth rather has a monopoly on us.
It all sounds like someone's summarization of the Bible.
If the Bible writes about truth and somebody else writes about truth they might seem similar.
By my estimation that's how you know what they writing about is consistent. But the Bible and every other holy text came from the heart. Those texts are just words on a page. The most important thing to me is the meaning not the authenticity of a document. People get all tripped up on material things but spirituality deals with the non material things. Material things crumble. And be destroyed. The spirit is immortal and cannot be destroyed.
You’re so on point <:GWchiakiKannaWave:369468313157369858>
The Bible was written light years before most other religions. So does it come from the heart when a text in a page saying to kill all infidels?
It pleases me that you continue to remember and honor me by keeping up the traditions of the faith I taught you. All actual authority stems from Christ.
1 Corinthians 11:1-2 MSG
I think the main idea of what he’s saying is that when a person is spiritual they are very likely to speak a universal truth,
So that’s why you hear similar things when people have reached that enlightened stage
And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the Lord thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.
Deuteronomy 8:19 KJV
You can be spiritual and not believe in God.
You shall have no foreign god among you; you shall not worship any god other than me.
Psalm 81:9 NIV
Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade others. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience. So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
2 Corinthians 5:11, 16-21 NIV
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 14:6 NIV
False, a person CANNOT be spiritual if they don’t know god. A lot of young ppl say that I’ve noticed
A person can believe in Mother Nature and be spiritual.
@J_G_ The Bhagavad Gita was written around the same time as the Law of Moses, but it's a moot point, because Shem and Ever had academies that taught the entire world the received tradition from Adam long before the Torah was given.
I wasn't saying why you shouldn't cling to the morals of Hinduism, I was saying why your arguments aren't sound enough for someone who's already found the truth to abandon it for the land of a million gods
India's no different from tribal religion in Africa or pagan Europe or pagan Middle East. Every city has its own god. Calling a spectrum of beliefs a single religion is misleading or malicious.
hey sar glad you're still here brother.
Imnot familiar with Eastern or indian religions
it kinda confuses me a little lol
I don’t see it as worshipping other gods if you note and appreciate other morals and values in religions 🤔
There's only one God. There's always only been one God. What people believe is another story.

I understand what you are saying but it doesn't answer the concept of multiple deities with different attributes in lands across the globe. In Nordic religion, you have Odin, Thor, Loki, Freya, etc... In Mayan religion, you have Kukulkan, Awilix, etc.... In Hindu religion, you have many incarnations of Vishnu like Rama, Krishna, and Vamana. In Greek/Roman, you have Zeus/Jupiter, Poseidon/Neptune, Ares/Mars, Aphrodite/Venus, etc. In China, you have He Bo, Guan Yu, Nu Wa, etc.
In most (not all) of these religions they point to one god who is the head of the other gods below it. The Apostles traveled to all of these countries to spread the gospel of Jesus and the Word of God. Most of them have developed their gods based on natural (worldy) events. Most believed that people who had wisdom were gods! But the Apostles walked the Earth to tell them of the story of God/Jesus from the beginning (Old Testament/Torah) to the end (New Testament/Septuagiant). @J_G_ @Szayel's Pooppion
Here is my scripture reference:
Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
Acts 17:12 KJV
And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timothy for to come to him with all speed, they departed. Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry. Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him. Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.
Acts 17:15-18 KJV
