So why did Jesus said in Matthew 5:17 (New International Version):
"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them."
Di ba kining mga Laws sa Rabbinic Jews constitute also a religious dogmas? Kining mga prophets 'self-proclaimed' man pud ni sila, yet Jesus acknowledge it. Pointing out that what the Jews is lacking is putting these 'Laws' insides their hearts simply because of its righteousness and not just something to be obeyed because of its authority; out of fear- not in heartily manner.
Dogmas noun, A religious doctrine that is proclaimed as true without proof; A doctrine or code of beliefs accepted as authoritative.
If it seems that Jesus did not explicitly claim He's founding a religion it is simply because He's one fellow who never find a chance to personally lift-up His name and teachings high among His followers but also humble and contrite in acknowledging that everything is of God.
Supposedly, Christianity is religion of living life in righteousness in the eyes of God not about spectacular worship and praying in the churches or worships halls...but this is the case nowadays.
If you think the works of Dr. Ian Stevenson has been refuted, then give me the refutation... meaning give me your EVIDENCE and PROOF that those works have been refuted. You cite your references before I will believe in you or else that is just hearsay or CHISMIS 101!
Biblical reasoning? What is your basis that your biblical reasoning is more superior than human or LOGICAL REASONING? Give me your evidence before you would say that biblical reasoning is better than human or LOGICAL REASONING!![]()

Of course to suffer is to have problems. Can you escape suffering here on earth? Earth is like purgatory and you dont have to go to puragatory aftter death in order to suffer, do you? hehehe
Can you explain why those people who were born disabled and blind? Do you think that's an accident? Do you think when babies have deformities you can aLways explain scientifically? If you say its THE WILL OF GOD, then GOD must be joking for how can GOD create such people who are not equal if there is a GOD in the first place? That cannot be explained by your religion my friend!![]()
Its (Karma) past and future, I know not. I only know of it and have come to accept it in the truth it presents at the present.
And I also agree with this: "The person whose mind is always free from attachment, who has subdued the mind and senses, and who is free from desires, attains the supreme perfection of freedom from Karma through renunciation." ~ Bhagavad Gita
