(04/21/2019) One Of A Kind




Today, the reply shares some points on the salvation from GOD, who is a spirit, that does not seem to appear among Buddhist, Sikhs and many other belief systems. In accordance with the holy writings, Christians acknowledge Jesus Christ as sent from GOD to fulfill sacred proclamations, promises, and prophecy. It is written: Acts 4: 11-12, KJV: 11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Also, 1st Corinthians 3: 11-14, KJV: 11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 Every mans work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every mans work of what sort it is. 14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. A writer in the “Yahoo! Answers” public forum on Religion and Spirituality who uses the ID “Johnny Uzumaki” (Level 1 with 2 points, a member since October 23, 2015) posted the following:



Jesus is the way but not the only way to god( see description)?

Update: If someone loves God, then God loves him back. God does not care which religion you belong to as long as you love Him and remember Him. God will not destine anyone to hell just because he or she is not a Christian. Furthermore, Jesus never said that if you belong to a religion other than Christianity, you will be destined to hell. Respectfully, this notion is introduce by some missionary Christians in order to convert people to their religion and appease their numbers.
Update 2: Sikhs believe that salvation can be attained by anyone who meditates on God regardless of their caste, color, class, gender, or religion. God is not bound by boundaries, He is omnipotent. Sikhs believe that Sikhism is the simplest, most straightforward way of realizing the present of God, to be One with Him, and attain salvation, but in no way Sikhs claim that Sikhism is the only way to attain salvation.
Update 3: Similarly, Sikhs do not believe that Jesus is the ONLY way to attain salvation. Before Jesus was born, people who worshiped God attained salvation. Dhruv is one of many devotees who attained salvation before Jesus was born. If Jesus is the only way to attain salvation then how did the people who existed before Jesus attained salvation? After Jesus was born, many people who did not even know that Jesus existed attained salvation in India.
Update 4: In thirteenth and fourteenth century, when people in India did not even know that Jesus existed, the devotees of God attained salvation in India. (Note: Europeans did not discover India until fifteenth century). Among those devotees that attained salvation are Naamdev Ji, Kabeer Ji, Sain Ji, Dhana Ji, Ravidas Ji and many more whose hymns are in the Holy Scripture, Guru Granth Sahib Ji.
Update 5: In their hymns they have written about their longing to meet God, how they worshiped to meet God, and finally attained salvation. Furthermore, the way they took to meet God is the same way Jesus showed to Christians, which is to worship and meditate on God, be sinless, renounce greed, lust, ego, anger and arrogance.



THE GOLDEN ARROW: He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. (Matthew 28: 6-8, King James Version, KJV)



THE DOUBLE DAGGER: Divine Revelation Not Showmanship (02/03/2019); Satisfying Creation and Law (01/22/2019); Why Punishment After Death? (11/23/2018); GOD Has Come Down (10/09/2018); Jesus Paid It All (04/04/2018); Yes, Jesus Did Die (04/01/2018); “I Am The Resurrection” (03/25/2018)



Johnny Uzumaki”, on this day acknowledged as Resurrection Sunday, I am sharing with you the same answer respected by sinners throughout the world who already have willingly turned to Jesus Christ as their Savior, and have become developing and mature Christians. There are multiple streams of sacred knowledge and divine truth that make Christian belief “one of a kind,” and “the only way.” In Christian belief, divinity is acknowledged as the origin and source for all that exists, for life (all that exists is not living), and for the necessary transformation of the living to exist in an ongoing eternal relationship with GOD. More than simply the sacrificial death of a human on the cross and his being raised from the dead must come into view.

Sin opposes the continued existence of sacred law, of the Lawgiver, and all divine order. Mankinds relationship with immortal, incorruptible divinity as a life companion now is interrupted by death and mortality that result through the operations of sin that are inherited as the human condition. On the basis of mechanical process and natural law, mankind can not overcome the limits of finite apprehension; consciousness anchored in appetite, sensation, emotion/mind; temporal duration; and human self-will (we also say, determination; might; willpower). Sin is contrary to divine prerogative, eternal purpose, and the sovereign will of the Creator. Even so, sin may dominate awareness and self-will in created beings and living creatures; and sin is no ordinary material thing that may be eliminated by a simple divine act of destruction.

There must be a fresh endowment to mankind of the life essence (we also say, breath; spirit; word) that was imparted from the makeup of GOD to establish the first “living soul.” Included are faith, holiness, joy, longsuffering, lovingkindness, personhood, wisdom, and wrath against sin. Through operations by GOD made possible by the appearance of Jesus on the earth, those who become “born again” are to live on the earth and “grow up again” as living vessels filled with divine substance. Believers are to become mature/ripe for harvest from the earth when Christ will appear (we say, Advent; the Rapture; the Second Coming). Thus, the process of GOD promotes experience such as decision-making, discovery, gradual growth, fellowship, learning, repentance, sharing, study of the holy writings, unselfish service, and suffering. Consider again the following that uses language from the Bible:

1. 1st John 4: 1-10, King James Version (KJV): 1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. 7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

2. 2nd Timothy 1: 7-10, KJV: 7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; 9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, 10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

There is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually apprehended. (For example, 3. John 3: 16-21, KJV: 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
