God and the Devil
Ancient religious history shows us that among all nations the teaching regarding the inner Christos Spirit was set forth under somewhat different forms; and it further shows that when an Avatara [a Sanskrit word, meaning " descent," and applied in ordinary usage to signify the descent or incarnation of a ray of the Divine], a great teacher, a Savior, so to speak, came among the people, there was also said to be manifest an opposing force -- an "evil" force. The religion of each of the peoples conceived the gods and the devils more or less in a different way. Research has shown that the "Devil," or "Adversary," as a personal power, was accentuated in the later religious teachings of the Jews preceding the time of Jesus; and it is also shown that the Jews had come under the influence of the Persians, with whom they were more or less associated, who, as is well known, held a dualism in religion. In the Old and New Testaments, we find that this evil force is there personified; and from the establishment of the Christian Church till the present epoch, we have had presented to us, as the greatest foe to human nature and all our godlike aspirations and efforts, a personification of malevolence, His Satanic Majesty, the personified Devil.
It was not so many years ago -- I can recall it from my childhood days -- that hellfire was preached as existing in a place set apart somewhere for the punishment of sinners and for all those who did not acknowledge the orthodox God. This place of torment was said to be presided over by the Devil himself. In those days it was also taught that there was a place set apart at some point in space, called heaven, where the Angels and the Elect played their harps and sang the glory of God, while the rest of humanity was supposed to be in hell, suffering the agonies of eternal damnation. These teachings were spiritual obscurations that clouded the vision and hardened the hearts of our ancestors for centuries. They were instilled into the very blood and fiber of the race, and the mind of man was psychologized with a really terrible fear, which has not yet been entirely eliminated from it.![]()
Mao ba reg...wala man gud niya gi qualify iya self. Sige ko ask niya about it but lahi man ang itubag. Well if that is the case then let Blue join the bandwagon.
Reg...as i have pointed out many times already the bible is my reference or my basis upon saying that TS is from the Devil.
The bible clearly pointed for us that Jesus has resurrected from the dead but TS denies such event. From that alone Biblical Christians can give a guilty of violating fundamental christian doctrines verdict on TS.
The resurrection and Death of Jesus plays a major role in Christian Doctrines. So from the Christian POV TS is Satanic.
Then in the bible it is prohibited to practice mediumship w/c you guys are practising.
I have been enlighten already reg.
wow daghana gud ana would you mine tagsa tagsaon nato ug discuss na imong gi pang post diha nga reference...let us see if that is all true? puede?
inner christos? are these the mahatmas?
naa lang koy question reg...ngano kaning mga Avatars nga imong gisulti ngano man that they contradict each other?
then if para ninyo God is impersonal ngano mo incarnate man siya into a personal being?
The jews were under the persians? Reg your reference is wrong...
before there were persians and Jews the personified Devil was already existing in the minds of the ancient people.
did you just copy and paste this article reg? or you typed it from a book...reg ikaw ra man diay ang kinahanglan magtoon objectively reg...kay basin gidawat lang pod dayon nimo ng mga libro like Isis unveiled ,The secret Doctrine ug oban pa. hehe w/o proper investigation.
yey! free ride with snaks ni xa.. ala kaoshung bus?pletehe ko hap!
Theosophy is the origin of all religions.. IN all major religions, theosophy is the heart of the basic teachings of religions. In Islam, in Buddhism, in Judaism, in Christianity, and other religions, they speak of Theosophy in different perspectives and applications to different walks of life. The Christ is a very noble element of Theosophy. For us to be Christ-like is constant aspiration of all Theosophists..
Theosophy does not deny Jesus resurrection. In fact, we acknowledge it. What is your source for this false allegation and accusation?
Many of the members do not practice mediumship. Only certain people practice it, because they are already capable of mediumship. and mediumship is not for the many, only for the few who are assigned to do it. THat is the same teaching in the Bible. Mediumship is prohibited to the many, but not to all.
Even in Christianity, there is what you call mediumship. The saints and martyrs who claim to have heard or seen apparitions from the Divine are also called mediums. Did you know that?
it is good that you claim to be enlighten already.. now you are expected to practice that enlightenment thru kindness and good deeds. Are practicing it already my good brother in Christ?![]()
What do you mean contradict each other? Can you state some examples and can you be specific.?
GOD, the absolute is not a person but a PRINCIPLE. We humans reincarnate for the purpose of becoming ONE WITH GOD as Jesus The Christ said, "Be Perfect as your heavenly father is perfect." This cannot be attained in just one lifetime only ! We don't believe in HEll as a literal place after death.
I may be wrong but I read and study Ancient Mystery Religions. Did you study Ancient Mystery Religions? Christianity is nothing new but a product of this Mystery Religions. Are you aware of god Mithras in Perisa? god Osiris in Egypt and god Dionysius in Greece? They have something in common with the Jesus story and they were far older than Christianity! '
Christianity is a pagan religion! Your bible comes from the Roman Catholic Church and The Roman Catholic Church was influenced by PAGANISM!
Are you aware of these facts?
GOD BLESS!![]()
