Nr. 94

Islam, Buddha, Darwin, communists and other religions and isms and sismer!

Joh. e. 16 9 The sin is that they do not believe in me.
6. 28 Then they said to him: "What is the works that God wants us to do?" 29 Jesus answered, "This is the work God wants you to do: to believe in him whom God has sent." It is the sin that comes all people who do not want to believe and accept God's gift to us.

I think really that to oppose religion, atheism, big bang theory, communism and other ideologies through our blogs and website are the big main point, although in and of itself may be significant. But to counter the unbiblical preaching and teaching and what is right theology and doctrine in the Christian area, is instead very important and necessary.

What do people do today, regardless of ideology and beliefs?

It's simple faith in Jesus as your representative within its God, sin is not believing in him.

1. Tim. 2. 4 who wants all men to be saved and learn the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave Himself a ransom for all. Such was his testimony when the time came.

The essence and what is important is to get in touch with God through His beloved Son Jesus Christ, everything else is not in accordance with what God desires and wants. Therefore, a "collect" all who believe in this, and confess that, as the abominations of the earth, says the Apostle John. While all Christian churches and preaching that shy away from God's word is a part of Babylon the great harlot.

But what other religions teach?

The most important thing is to say what they do not learn, that there is only salvation in Jesus' name alone.

Acts 4. 10 as to all of you and the entire people of Israel know this: This man is well ahead of you in the power of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead. 11 He is the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone. 12 There is salvation in no one else, for the whole world, among people not given any other name that we must be saved. "

1. Muslims teach that Jesus was indeed the son of Mary, but only a great prophet who taught and lived in accordance with God's will, but that is not paid our sin and not die on the cross. Muhammad was the last and greatest prophet who stands over Jesus. The Jews killed Jesus says Muslims, not the Romans that the Bible says. Muslims can not tolerate Christians and Jews, if they submit to them. The Muslim's foremost goal is to introduce Sharia law, and any country that makes this is a Muslim country to be considered and may never be otherwise. Therefore, it is serious and alarming that the reach of desire and demand for a Sharia court in this country and other countries such as England, Sweden, Denmark and in Norway. When will the Muslims get a beachhead here in Scandinavia, as they have in Spain that they claim is a Muslim country because they once were.

2. Muslims teach that Jesus was crucified, but that he did not die. Jesus was caught up and sat down at God's right hand, but he is not serving any sin or was crucified.
Another Muslim teachings is that he was taken down and was kept in hiding to avoid being attacked, and traveled to India to preach to the ten tribes of Israel. There are divergent explanations also today within Islam, but they learn that he died on Calvary and paid our sin and thus pleased God. Islam is a totalitarian religion that basically all other religions. But Islam is the most dangerous and worst thing that put their ideology into practice, without thinking, and assume the costs. Jesus is mentioned in several places in the Koran, including Sura.

Islam and many other religions in the Stone Age where the ignorant public is large, Islam means submission, where women in particular are under pressure to the ruthless among many to be covered, circumcision, forced marriages, often with close relatives, mutilation and death!

Koran also differ in doctrine, is of history and contradicts itself in many ways. But the rule is then, what is last said is valid!

Islam's five pillars, the five central rites in Islamic religious practice: the creed, prayer, fasting, pilgrimage and Charity.
But the most important thing in Islam is the creed: profession of faith (shahadah) is the most important of the five pillars. To declare that a Muslim happens at that one says the creed: 'Ašhadu' al-La ilaha illa-llāhu wa 'ašhadu' other Muħammadan rasūlu-llāh. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Mohammed is his prophet.
This statement is also known as ash-shahadatan (the two testimonies) because it consists of two parts. Believed also to articles of faith, is a Muslim.

Buddhism is an improvement of the old man, and have not saved the basis of his doctrine of Christianity. Buddha discovered the four truths about suffering:
Everything in the world is suffering
The reason for suffering is life-thirst
Suffering can be stopped by stopping life-thirst.
Life thirst and suffering stops by to follow the Eightfold path.

Karma
For Buddhists, everything that happens to us, the result of our actions. We must therefore ensure to live a just and good life. Everything we do or think, is stored in the awareness. Later in life, or when we die, these impressions come out as positive or negative experiences. By atterfødinga - reincarnation - harvests a fruit of his / her earlier life. The quality of this life is determined based on the karma one has built up through good or bad makes fixes. "What we sow, we will harvest."

Buddhism is the only one of verdsreligionane which teaches that there is no any powerful skapargud. There are gods in Buddhism, but they have no creative or redemptive power. Buddha himself is no god. Gods in Buddhism is nothing but people who, because of its godleiken being born again as gods. Just like human beings on earth are they dependent on the doctrine of the Buddha in order to reach nirvana.
Salvation
The right understanding of the human situation (that they are trapped by karma Act) and by forhalde to this the right way, it is possible to emit of this district race. It does not mean that karma is abolished, but that one is free from the power he has over one. Through this process you can create good karma and attain nirvana. This is not an obliteration of the soul. It is a transformation of consciousness condition and can be achieved here on earth. In eight point told the Buddha how one could achieve this state. Anyone who achieves Nirvana is Buddha. Buddha is not a god, but a condition.

Hinduism
God is in everything. Everywhere finest local deities, which are different forms of the same deity. These will remind us of God's existence, the one God who is behind it all.
Godhead is like a force that permeates all things and all beings. Deity or principle called Bramans.
Such a religion is called a pantheistic religion. Hindus believe that the universe goes through endless cycles of creation, oppretthalding and destruction.

Three main gods that can also appear in menneskapnad are:

Brahma - creator. Ruler of all creatures.
Vishnu - to keep the world alive. Checking people's destinies.
Shiva - destruction builder. The source of both good and bad. Destroy all life, but is also the one who restores new life.
Karma
Hindus believe in karma, the law of cause and effect, where each individual creates his own destiny with their thoughts, words, and make fixes.
Throw Stelle
This is a strong driving force to live a good life and take care of itself. But you will not, without further help others. For suffering is punishment for a bad life before.
A host born into a social group / caste and where one must live all his life. In the olden days of the four sheds:

Prestekasten
Krigarkasten
Arbeidarkasten
Tenarkasten
Extended to 3000 different throws by turn of the century. Prohibited by the Act of 1947. One should not make a difference in people based on what caste they belonged.
Salvation
Bramans, world-soul, is an indescribable power. She works in the whole universe. For many Hindus are human soul, Atman, part of the world-soul. Because the soul of man is trapped in the body, she is bound to be born again and again - transmigration / reincarnation. This is not a good thing. The goal is to become free from the body and soul from wandering. When the human soul goes back to the spiritual world. Let atterfødinga and reach Moksha. Only by becoming Fria out from the material world can one get away from the grief and pain.

Roads to salvation - three different directions

deed the road - good works, sacrifice to the gods and a good life
love the way - love and innleving in the Godhead. Worship and a personal gudsforhald
true acquaintance road - you must understand that the human soul is part of Bramans which exists in everything. To become one with this one must meditate, practice yoga and practicing asceticism
An equation that tells sameininga between Atma and Bramans:
A lotus flower grows on the beach of the Ganges, the holy river. A doggdrope flows slowly down the stem of lotusblomen and cast finally into the river and is one of the mighty lake. In the same way they long human soul to become one with the world-soul. Each one should live so that he or she will be closer to the final goal: Moksha, utfriinga from the body.
Hindus do not believe that any particular religion teaches the only right way to God. All genuine religious paths are part of God's love and light.
It has been claimed that the only common to the Hindus, is that they venerate the cow. Why the cow will be considered as holy knows one is not. The cow is the living symbol of Mother Earth and how generous she is the man. The cow is also a symbol of life and non - violence.

Holy Scriptures

Vedane - four collections of religious songs. This is the oldest writings
Upanishads - explains the religious content of vedane. This is where the idea of ​​a god or sacred power, the one, are developed.
Bhagavadgita and Mahabharata - The most important books of Hinduism. Tell Ingar on the human attributes of deity.
Occasions
Divali - New Year festival - Festival of Lights
Each god has his day as the host pronounced in different ways.

Sikhism

Sikh religious learning occurred in a north Indian bhakti-environment, which rejected the Hindu rituals and caste systems, and instead emphasized the yoga, the inner life of mystery and the idea of ​​a unified, all-encompassing deity. Sikhism parts, however, the basic features of Hinduism, for example. doctrine of karma and rebirth. It has also lent significant moves from Islam: the highlight of monotheism, the central importance of the one holy book, the perception of the believer as one people, and the absence of clergy. In particular, Sufism, Islamic mysticism, has been important.

Nanak authored a large number of hymns collected in the Sikh holy book, Guru Granth Sahib, Adigranth.I these hymns are set forth Sikhism's fundamental teachings. The goal of the religious life is union with God is one, eternal, omniscient and omnipotent. God is found in the individual human soul, but the association is still only possible by a mercy act of God, for man dominated by lust, selfishness and ignorance. When human salvation, is released from rebirth and achieve a state of eternal and infinite bliss.

The Sikh place of worship, Gurdwaras, is, like mosques primarily hall, but must always contain a copy of Guru Granth Sahib. On the roof to the Sikh yellow flag being hoisted. Men and women participate together in worship, consisting in reading or singing of hymns from Guru Granth Sahib. Sikhs have religious parties, for example. celebration of Guru Nanak and Guru Gobind Singh's birthday. Celebrations often consists of processions and reading from the Guru Granth Sahib. Sikhs abstain from alcohol and tobacco, but not absolute Matforsk tears.

History
Sikhism was during Guru Nanak and nine successive gurus (to 1708) developed into a major religious movement with its center in Punjab. During the fourth Guru, Guru Ram Das (active 1574-1581), the Amritsar ("nectar of the dam") was founded. The fifth Guru, Guru Arjan (1563-1606), began construction of the Golden Temple in Amritsar, which was the Sikh holy city.

Under pressure from the Muslim rulers Sikhs organized themselves as a warrior community (Khalsa). This trend began during the 6 Guru (Guru Hargobind, died 1645) and was completed during the 10th (And last) guru (Guru Gobind Singh, died 1708). The members of the warrior society was required to wear five characteristics: uncut hair and beard, hidden under a turban, a comb, a bracelet of steel, a sword, a short pant. They should also bear the nickname Singh, "lion".

Sikhs resulted in constant struggle against the Mughal Board in Delhi. Under Ranjit Singh (1780-1839) founded an independent kingdom with its center in Lahore. In 1849 they were militarily defeated by the British, and the kingdom incorporated into British India. Sikhs remained loyal to British rule during the great rebellion in 1857, and came therefore to play an important role in the army, police and administration. They maintained these positions even after India's independence in 1947. The liberation meant, however, a division of Punjab between India and Pakistan, many Sikhs were killed and 2.5 million Sikhs fled to the Indian part of Punjab. In 1966 the Punjab divided into a Hindu-dominated Haryana and Sikh-dominated Punjab.

Judaism and Christianity do I not when it is so well documented previously here on the blog and our website. About Darwin, atheism, Communists, etc. I do not take with otherwise the article will be more like a book and too long.

My experience

I work and know a lot of people believe in these religions. Here in the multicultural Oslo, it is not uncommon to meet others with a different faith. But there are very few who are convinced of their own faith, and it is their spiritual head of the Imams, priests, monks in the whole taking care of religion. They even read very little in the Koran and other holy books, if they all read? They are Norwegian state church believers in many ways.

What do all these people? Jesus!

It is only Jesus and His finished work on Calvary that takes one into contact with God, nothing else or other.

Joh. e. 14 6 Jesus said: "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Matt. 16. 13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" 14 They replied, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets." 15 "and you, "he asked," who tell you that I am? "16 Simon Peter answered," You are the Christ, the living Son of God. "17 Jesus answered and said," Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah . For this is not flesh and blood revealed this to you, but my Father in heaven. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. "20 And he commanded his disciples strictly to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.

The name Jesus is a Greek form of a common Jewish name, Jeshu'a (Aramaic, Heb. Jehoshu'a, 'God saves'); Christ is Greek by the Jewish title Messiah, the anointed. At the time of Jesus Christ an eschatological figure, the king of David's descendants who would deliver Israel. The name of Jesus Christ therefore expresses the believer's earliest confession: Jesus is the Messiah. The Greek Christ (eg. Christos) was not the titular sound and was perceived as a name part. Jesus' dignity was therefore expressed by the title curious, Lord, and the Christian confession was Lord Jesus, that Jesus is Lord. In his life Jesus was probably called the Galilean Jesus or Jesus of Nazareth (Mark 1.24, 10.47, Matthew 21.11, 26.69 ff, Lk 24.19).

That Jesus paid our sin is the gospel! Christ is thus reconciliation tool, to bring everything under the almighty hand of God, that His love, holiness and power should be known and loved by all His creation.
