That Purusha, the size of a thumb, is like a...
In Hinduism, “Purusha” is the First-Born, the Word, the Chief Priest, the Universal Sacrifice, who is called the Light of all worlds. This verse compares him to a flame, something YHVH is always associated with in the Bible, and says he is the same today and tomorrow. It corresponds closely with St. Paul to the Hebrews 13:8,
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and...

holycatholicrosaryofthefree asked: I know you already posted something about an Upanishad quote that relates to the Trinity but I can't seem to find the quote even though you cited it. I have the Eknath Easwaran edition of the Upanishads. In other words, what is the name of the Upanishad chapter (besides 3.8)? Thank you and may Jesus Yeshua Ha-Mashiach Christ of Nazareth bless you always!

shadowsong123 asked: 1. Why don't you believe in hell?( It seems that Jesus does, when he mentions "weeping and gnashing of teeth.") 2. Is God good and omnipotent? 3. Do we have any real proof that Jesus actually existed? 4. What are your thoughts on the Gnostic gospels? Thank you, and peace and blessings be with you!

The Trinity is the first thing we learn about God...
“In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth; the earth came to formless and void, and darkness was upon the face of the abyss. And the Spirit of God hovered over the waters. And God said, “Let there be Light!” and Light was.”
God the Father made all things by his power and will, the Holy Spirit, and through his Image, the Son. Without the interaction of the...

Anonymous asked: Some people argue that if God was real and omnipotent and omnibenevolent, the Bible would tell us (or He would have just come out and told us) things like how to cure diseases, that the sun is the center of the solar system and other scientific truths, and that slavery is evil, that is wrong to ever beat your children, that men and women are equal no matter what instead of allowing things like...

Anonymous asked: What is the meaning of life? (No, I'm not mocking you in any way - I'm legitimately curious to know how you respond.)
Anonymous asked: My dad died a few weeks ago, all his life he struggled with addiction and mental illness.. He was saved, he was Catholic/Christian.. But he did bad things, he knew it was wrong and wanted to change but just never did. Does this mean he can still go to Heaven? Underneath the drugs, the illness, he was a good person.. They just changed him..

mirandmyst asked: Hey, I'm a Unitarian Universalist hoping to become a minister one day and I just found your tumblog and think it's awesome and wanted to say so! That was a lot of "ands", usually I'm more poetic, but I'm a little sleepy. Love!
Anonymous asked: Is it bad to be sexually aroused by priests? Sometimes during Mass I can't concentrate and my thoughts are full of sin. Is it more of a sin if the fantasy includes a man of the cloth? I feel really guilty.

Anonymous asked: I've heard so many different interpretations that I'm lost and confused: What does the Bible say specifically about the occult? What about taking an interest and not actively practicing? Also, I believe I read somewhere that everyday people can have the gift of prophecy from God. And while I'm at it -what is your opinion on demonic possession?

Anonymous asked: I started doing Soka Gakkai Nichiren Buddhist chanting and found that it helped me concentrate on Christ. I was wondering if you think it's wrong for someone to practice both Catholicism and Nichiren Buddhism because Jesus once said that no one should ever have two master. I chant to be a better person not for monetary gain like other Soka Gakkai members. Is it idolatry and is the help...

alliszen replied to your post: Buddha is a manifestation of God? He taught that suffering needed to be avoided! Christ taught that suffering was a part of life.
To compliment my friend innerchrist, the Buddha said, “the Way is not in Sky; the Way is in the Heart”. Something which sounds a lot like Jesus’ “the Kingdom of God is Within You”.
And who or what is this “Way”? Jesus says in...
