VitalOne does. VitalOne thinks the rest of the Bible is just BS.
Nah, in my opinion the most important parts of the Bible are where Jesus himself speaks, in my opinion when Jesus speaks he reveals the truth...
If the Gospel of Thomas was in the Bible, ideas like reincarnation, anti-circumcision, and new viewpoints would be there.
Something similar to reincarnation:
Jesus said, "Lucky is the lion that the human will eat, so that the lion becomes human. And foul is the human that the lion will eat, and the lion still will become human." (Thomas, 7)
Jesus is not pro-circumcision:
His disciples said to him, "Is circumcision useful or not?"
He said to them, "If it were useful, their father would produce children already circumcised from their mother. Rather, the true circumcision in spirit has become profitable in every respect." (Thomas, 53)
New type of cosmological viewpoint:
Jesus said, "If they say to you, 'Where have you come from?' say to them, 'We have come from the light, from the place where the light came into being by itself, established [itself], and appeared in their image.' (Thomas, 50)
VitalOne,
Christianity believes that we (our souls) have a maximum of two chances to make it to heaven. If we fail here, but live a decent life, we go to purgatory. In purgatory, other people's prayers can save us still. Now if you live a horrible life on earth, you go directly to hell where you will burn until the Second Coming at which point you will be transfered to the Lake of Fire to burn for eternity.
Two chances. That's it.
Now in Hinduism, you have an unlimited amount of chances.
This is an extreme contradiction.
One of these religions is wrong. One is correct. Both claim to be inspired by God. Which one is correct?
Thats not really based on Jesus, but based on the Catholic Church, Christianity is supposed to be the "way of Christ" but Christianity isn't really based upon Jesus's way...its more based on the Church's way
Also in Hinduism the chances aren't unlimited, it goes on until the end of the universe (supposedly more than 300 trillion years), and also if you keep gaining a lower existence birth after birth then you'll never achieve Brahm
