To get in I had to shake hands with 3 different people , as a very nice welcome to the service.
The whole setvice was very enjoyable, including the bible reading and message that you will be saved by your acceptance of Jesus Christ.
I never got to take any religious lessons as a youngster, so I feel really dumb when it comes to understanding all the different religions.
I do not understand how there can be 26 different Churches in the yellow pages, when there is one God.
I do not know if Budhists, Christians, Muslims, Jews all believe in the same God? I ssume that they do not!
The pastor told me that the new testament is just a progression from the old, and that is something that someone in an earlier post gave the opposite view.
what are you .. 99 years old and you only today heard of your most famous brethern.
well gosh darn let me tell you there is no sweeter message then the word of our beloved jew boyman.

I think he is referring to Jesus Christ (who coincidentally happened to be a practising Jew).

Jews, Christians and Moslems believe in the god of Abraham, with some variations.
Jews and Moslems are strict monotheists, believing that God is indivisible, whereas Christians believe in the Trinity. Christians and Moslems believe in Jesus, who was a Jew, but while the Christians attribute divinity to Jesus, Moslems believe Jesus to be human only but an important prophet. Christians and Moslems believe that Jesus is also the Messiah, whereas Jews don't believe that Jesus is the Messiah. Of course, there are more differences.
Buddhists are of a different religious philosophy, not centered around the god of Abraham.

"Buddhists are of a different religious philosophy, not centered around the god of Abraham."
True, but some recent investigations have shown that there is a possible connection.
If GOD exists, one must presume he is all powerful and at least somewhat all knowing. Which then leads to the thought that he would be smart enough to present himself in different ways to different people in order to be more readily accepted. If anyone thinks that thier GOD is not smart enough to do something like this... they dont exactly think very highly of thier GOD.

That's what I think about the creationists.... They don't believe that GOD is smart enough to invent DNA and evolution and stem cells and and and.....

meh... thats pretty much a moot point.
Does it matter if GOD or some magical random event created DNA and evolution? Nope... not one single bit, it changes nothing.
The evolutionist best arguement comes from the Churches themselves that for several 1000 years have taken the literal stance of creation and the bible and such and the churhes themselves are only now saying that oo yeah.. god could have simply done that.
One thing everyone is forgetting, creationist and evolutionist.... the priest, the amman, the rabbi, the pope, the whoever, the church, the bible the whatever... ARE NOT GOD! they are all people, or people's interpretation and representation of GOD. NOT GOD....dont worship the pope, dont worship the church, dont worship the bible, dont take everything that they say as 100% truth...... figure out for yourself what GOD is to you.

Triniman - thanks for the clear information! How in the HELL, am I supposed to understand what the heck is the truth?
Is this why some people attack each other for their religious beliefs? because there are 1001 explanations ?

No Rosie... its because they are all so stupid as to believe that what their religous leaders are telling them is gods word. Only god can tell you what his word is.

Triniman- I have re-read your post, but I do not believe that your explanation makes sense in that how can Christians and Muslims believe that Jesus is the mesiah? That doesn't seem accurate to me?
If Jesus was Jewish, than that would explain to me why everyone has been mad at the Jews, forever, and have beaten them and been mean to them?
Are you saying that Jesus is the Messiah to Muslims, and was jewish??

Muslims, Christians and Jews all believe in the same god and to a huge extent the same religous teachings. The only place they really differ is whom they choose as a messiah.

The difference there is that one considers him a MAJOR messiah and one considers him a MINOR messiah.
