You are acting dumb. Go back to your voodoo roots. Go to Haiti and Africa where folks are still practicing Animal sacrifices.

You are brainwashed. Look at how you took a Jew and made him your God. How can Jesus be His only son when Solomon is also called the son of God? There is help for fanatics like you.

Typical of folks like yourself, you love to pick and choose verses, thinking it would discredit the word of God. Read and understand the full context of the Bible. We as Christians are all sons of God. Here are some verses you might have a problem comprehend. Galatians 3:26, John 1:12 and Romans 8:14-17.

Speaking about brainwash, I don't bow down to any carved stone, wood or metal and use it as a focal point for devotion and a means of connecting with the divine. I remember years ago as a child, seeing a young man selling one of your many gods at the roadside. It cracked me up seeing the way he was holding one of your gods upside down, come to think of it there was no respect, your god was in distress.

Have you any information on the caste system origin, its ethical implications, and its relevance in the modern world?

You are like a broken record. My Parambramha existed before your god who was not capable of saving his so called only begotten son.

BTW, your bible also mentions that Moses was another son.

Enjoy your blood drinking and flesh eating whilst you kneel down in front of your elder.

Brainwashed, So how long now, you have been standing there on the bottom rung of the ladder?

Para Brahma is the highest form of God the creator, sustainer, and destroyer of all life; higher than your god who is capable of having only one son. But then again your Bible refers to Solomon, Moses, Samson et al as sons. John lied.

You seem to have good knowledge of selected bible verses but you lack the wisdom on how to use it. You are like a used car salesman and behaving like a Pariha.

Turn the Other Cheek

In conflict-laden circumstances, the Holy Spirit will guide us to a God-honoring response.

Luke 6:29-31

Today’s passage contains a verse that confuses many Christians: “Whoever hits you on the cheek, offer him the other also” (v. 29). Are we to stand still while someone beats us up physically or emotionally? No. But we also are not to “repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing” (1 Pet. 3:9 NIV).

John 18:21-23 offers some insight about how to apply these instructions. When Jesus was interrogated by the high priest and provided an “unsatisfactory” answer, one of the officials struck Him in the face. Instead of offering His other cheek to be slapped, Jesus calmly challenged the man’s unjust action. The Lord did not defend Himself or retaliate, but He also refused to accept mistreatment unquestioningly, even though He knew He would receive more.

How can we follow Jesus’ example? What does a righteous response look like? It really depends on the situation. We may need to ignore the other person’s actions, walk away from the abuse, or confront them. The only way to know the most respectful, Christlike choice in each circumstance is by yielding to the wisdom of the Holy Spirit.

It’s not easy to turn the other cheek, but we have a Companion to help us figure out how. Take a moment to ask the Holy Spirit to guide you.

You reminded me of a proverb, "Empty vessels make the most noise," it's suggesting that you who lack knowledge or facts tend to resort to insults and perhaps talk the loudest. Another related saying is "Actions speak louder than words," implying that it's more important to demonstrate knowledge through actions and evidence rather than merely making claims. How fitting these proverbs are of you, don't you agree? If not just review all your posts.

You are speaking to the man in the mirror.

John lied when he said that Jesus is the only begotten son.  Solomon, Moses, Samson et al are named as sons.

Jesus died in Kashmir of old age.  He did not die on the cross.

Where are the facts concerning your claims? You either put up or just shut up.

And [for] their saying, "Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary, the messenger of Allāh." And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain.¹

Jesus Survived Crucifixion & Migrated to Kashmir

Jesus In Kashmir (Documentary by Indian Govt)

The Jesus of the Bible taught Love was the greatest of all gifts, and this message is in line with Hindu teachings.

This is facts for you.

The crucifixion and burial of Jesus are events recorded in the New Testament of the Bible. While historical evidence is limited, several sources from the first century, such as the writings of the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus and the Roman historian Tacitus, mention Jesus' crucifixion. Additionally, the accounts of early Christian writers like the apostle Paul and the gospel authors provide detailed narratives of Jesus' crucifixion and burial.

Tell me what is the caste system's origin, its ethical implications, and its relevance in the modern world.

That Jesus died for your sins is false.

The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin. (Deuteronomy 24:16) Moreover, In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children’s teeth are set on edge. But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge. (Jeremiah 31:29–30).

Interesting read for you

FACTS:
This should make us seriously doubt the reliability of the Quran, because almost everyone, including non-Christians, agrees that Jesus was crucified and died. Skeptical Bible scholar John Dominic Crossan denies that Jesus rose from the dead, but even he says “he was crucified is as sure as anything historical can ever be” (Jesus: A Revolutionary Biography, 163).

In response to this evidence, most Muslims believe that God only made it appear that Jesus was crucified by putting someone who looked like Jesus on the cross in his place. In the seventh century, Mohammed’s cousin Ibn Abbas said this person was a Roman soldier named Tatianos or Natyanus. The fourteenth-century apocryphal Gospel of Barnabas claims that it was Judas Iscariot getting his comeuppance by being crucified in Jesus’ place.

But since, as we’ve seen, the Quran (not to mention medieval apocryphal gospels) was written too late to be a reliable historical source about Jesus, “and since there is no evidence that it is divinely inspired,” it follows that there are no reasons to believe its testimony when it contradicts the established historical record. This may be why some Muslim scholars claim Jesus was indeed crucified, but not “to death.”

Some modern Muslim apologists, such as Shabir Ally and the late Ahmed Deedat, claim that God allowed Jesus to be crucified but that Jesus was “rescued” from death, and so he wasn’t crucified in that sense. But it seems implausible that God would wait to “rescue” his beloved prophet until after he had been tortured, crucified, and entombed. Also, most translators of the Quran recognize that the text makes a distinction between killing and crucifixion—and that it denies that either of these things happened to Jesus. The key passage in Sura 4:157 is thus rendered in most translations, “they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him.”

There are various accounts in the New Testament that describe the crucifixion, death, burial, and subsequent resurrection of Jesus. The Gospels all provide slightly different details of the events leading up to and following the crucifixion, but they all agree on the fact that Jesus was crucified and died.

Outside of the Bible, there is no historical evidence to support the idea that Jesus survived the crucifixion. The crucifixion of Jesus is well-documented in the writings of early Christian historians and other non-Christian sources of the time.

But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge. (Jeremiah 31:29–30).

Temm me how did sin enter the world?

In Deuteronomy 24:16 states that one should not be put to death for the sins of another. The concept in that verse is part of the Old Testament's civil and legal code, emphasizing individual accountability for one's actions. The principle of personal responsibility for sin is reiterated in other passages throughout the Old Testament as well.

The belief that Jesus Christ died for the sins of humanity is a central tenet of Christianity and is based on the teachings of the New Testament. As Christians, we believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that His sacrificial death on the cross served as atonement for the sins of humanity.

The theological understanding behind this belief is rooted in the concept of God's love and mercy. According to my belief, all human beings are sinful and fall short of God's perfect standards (Romans 3:23). The penalty for sin is death and separation from God (Romans 6:23).

However, because of God's love for humanity, He provided a way for reconciliation. We as Christians believe that God, in the person of Jesus Christ, took on human form, lived a sinless life, and willingly offered Himself as a sacrifice to pay the penalty for humanity's sins. Jesus' death on the cross is seen as the ultimate act of love and grace, making it possible for people to be forgiven and reconciled with God.

The New Testament makes several references to Jesus' sacrificial death, such as in John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

I have no time to waste on empty vessels who cannot answer questions about the caste system's origin, its ethical implications, and its relevance in the modern world.

Keep spinning your old records and continue dodging my questions. If you want a meaningful conversation then provide your facts and answer the questions put forth. As pointed out earlier, it's more important to demonstrate knowledge through actions and evidence rather than merely making claims. Enjoy your weekend Sir, all the best to you and your family. As for me, I'll spend some time with my family in the beautiful mountains of Massanutten.

You are showing how ignorant you're towards understanding. I like to provide the awhole picture, not part of it.

John 9

1 As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

6 After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. 7 “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.

Now in a nutshell, the passage John 9:1-7 does not speak about reincarnation. It narrates the story of Jesus healing a man who was born blind, not discussing the concept of reincarnation.

Christianity does not believe in reincarnation. It teaches the concept of one life on Earth, followed by an afterlife where souls are judged and go to either heaven or hell based on their beliefs and actions during their earthly life. Reincarnation is NOT a part of Christian doctrine.

Habakkuk 2:18-20

18 What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?

19 Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.

20 But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
