THE TRUTH ABOUT RELIGIONS!!!!
posted November 1, 2006 - 4:20pmI did plenty of research, in order to write this article.
I began my research with Scientology. An, unknown religion to me so, there was plenty of research to do.
What does scientology consist of: The first church of scientology was founded in 1954, a little more than 50 years ago by Ron L. Hubbard. Scientologist means knowing by knowing. It provides the individual the means to solve it’s own problems, to accomplish goals in life and to have a lasting happiness. It helps the individual to improve his life and his surroundings. Having the answers to life crucial problems and having an effective solution to it. Scientology is not authoritarian. There is no enforced belief or “faith” system. Instead, they teach people to think for themselves. It’s a voyage of self-discovery. Churches are open everyday of the week, not only on Sundays.
The basic principles of Kabbalah: Is a oral tradition of Jewish mysticism. Kabbalah, derives from the Hebrew root meaning “to receive, to accept.” It dates from the 12th century. It consists of a large body of speculation on the nature of divinity, the creation, the origin and fate of the soul, and the role of human beings. There is also Hermetic Kabbalah, which is for people that are non-Jews.
What do Jews believe in: God and almighty God. They don’t accept Jesus as the messiah because:
1. Jesus did not fulfill the messianic prophecies.
2. Jesus did not embody the personal qualifications of the Messiah.
3. Biblical verses "referring" to Jesus are mistranslations.
4. Jewish belief is based on national revelation.
The branches of Christianity: ---------Protestant--------Catholic------Orthodox------
Revelation: Christians consider Christianity to be a "revealed" religion. Various Christian traditions differ in how much they believe it is possible to know about God without some special revelation from him. But all agree that we wouldn't have these beliefs unless God had taken actions to reveal him self to us.
All Christians believe that God guides the community in its decisions. However the extent to which this can be said to constitute real revelation is somewhat controversial. The point is they believe in god, in faith, Jesus Christ and they are guided by the bible. They believe in Angels, Saints, miracles and Virgin Mary.
The evidence that Christians have is not acceptable to scientist or historian.
