Ask Me Help Desk - The Kingdom of God

Chuck,

There isn't a post by upper management at the top of the Christianity Board saying that only fundamentalist Christians can post or answer questions.

Until that appears, I will continue to post and answer on the Christianity Board.

Kindest regards,

Just curious... Have you studied all of the other teachings? Have you studied ANY of the other teachings?

So if I'm on the Islamic board, they are right and everyone else is wrong, and if I'm on the Hindu board, THEY are right and everyone else is wrong, and when I'm on the Christian board, I can be 100% sure that YOU are right and everyone else is wrong.

I'm glad that's settled. For the longest time, I wasn't sure how to decide which was the right religion to believe in. Now I know.

You probably cherish your right to believe whatever you wish to believe. So does almost everyone else. Such things as the variations in color, shape, texture, taste, smell, and sound that we find in creation and these differing beliefs sometimes add interest, enjoyment, and excitement to our lives.

However, some beliefs are not only different but also dangerous.

Yes, it is a primitive belief that only "my belief" is true and all others are false? But it raises the question…can all beliefs be true?

There were some people who came to believe that Jews and Freemasons had plans to “disrupt Christian civilization and erect a world state under their joint rule.” One source of this belief was an anti-Semitic tract entitled Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. The tract alleged that the plans included advocating excessive taxation, promoting armament production, encouraging giant monopolies so that 'Gentile wealth could be destroyed in one blow.'

Wouldn't it matter whether this was true or false to you and millions of others? Is it not wise then, to make sure that what you believe actually is true and not simply what you want to believe?
