Separation – We are not separated simply by race and skin color, but simply by religion and culture!

On several occasions, I have defended my belief in what religion means to me. While continuing to believe that religion is man-made. I seek refuge in the Lord of the People – The King of the People – refuge against Geniuses and Men, because God is the beneficent and the most merciful. I seek the Peace, the Blessings and the Mercy of the Lord for Me and for the Dear Ones and Close to Me I seek the Peace and the Contentment for the Masses that suffer, be it injustice, hunger and/or ignorance. It is with the help of God that humanity enters the Religion of God. “When God’s help and victory come, and you see people entering God’s religion in multitudes, then celebrate the praise of your Lord and seek protection from him-There is no God but God!”

(An Nasr – The People)

Very often, a fictional author describes life and the great truth of life better than the historian. The writer does not pretend to write what is exactly true. He or she describes all things imaginatively. Therefore, ordinary people have the privilege of seeing what fundamentals the commonly accepted scriptures reveal. One can examine the pile of evidence and do one’s own sifting through the maze of text. Thousands – Millions of people look to the New Testament as their leader and guide. Knowing from what authority this information is derived is paramount, and many women and men will be delighted to find the evidence clearly presented to them.

The story may be true, but in a sense the tradition is even truer. Many times it has been said that history records what has been, but it is tradition that tells what should have been.

Perdition is damnation – eternal death!

People should also remember that something like historical accuracy is a comparatively new product. It is a remarkable fact that the events recorded in the Holy Scriptures, as far as we know or can ascertain, were verifiable and the chronicles were mostly true.

No man has ever appealed to the imagination of the masses of the world and played with our feelings as much as Jesus of Nazareth. The ordinary man, woman and child are invited to take their places in the council chamber which accepts and rejects the various writings and scriptures. It is interesting to know what forms of stories and speculations about him took place in the early period of the Christian era. It is safe to say that the desired conclusion can be left to your common sense. Whereas it can no longer be said that our scriptures were/are accepted by learned men; We don’t know that, but we have to accept his conclusion, yes?

I do not think so!

Speaking for myself, and as a spiritual believer in the authenticity of accepted scriptures – and some that are not – I have no reluctance or hesitation in saying that I, like many others, am perfectly content to let the common sense of the people of the world decide on the superiority of accepting certain scriptures and rejecting others. All the information is perfectly intelligible for the common woman or man.

“I do not worship what you worship, nor do you worship whom I worship; nor will I worship whom you worship, nor will you worship whom I worship – to you be your religion, and to me my religion. He who has the knowledge of the truth, it can never give way to any other consideration or purpose.
