Non-Christian and Gerani, the Commandments apply to everyone, because we are all created by the one true God. Stop employing that "It doesn't apply to me" rationale, and get real.
Gerani, I actually found another Scripture that explains who Jesus is. I believe it's in Romans 1, so give me a moment to find it.
And here we go:
Romans 1:1-7
Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God-- the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures regarding his Son, who as to his human nature was a descendant of David, and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord. Through him and for his name's sake, we received grace and apostleship to call people from among all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith. And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.
To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints:
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
i believe jesus is one of those incarnations. but when it comes to Jesus being the 'incarnation' for the whole entire world, i find that impossible. just to reach the far edges of the world will be impossible. God is one, God is the only.
If you deny Christ's identity, then you cannot claim to know Him. I have Scriptures to back up my statements. Please, show me your back-ups.
in hinduism, we believe that Krishna is an INCARNATION of God. he is God in flesh and blood.
i understand what u are saying about jesus. (finally).
hindus worship the attributes of God that are represented through statues making it easier to worship. therefore we do not worship the idols, but the symbols of our holy God. therefore they are not demonic if they represent God and HIs attributes, therefore we believe in ONE GOD. God uses several incarnations to reveal himself to many parts of the world.
try understanding that lindabee.
No. I won't try to understand that. I call it for what it is: idolatry. I haven't been told to "understand" idolatry. I've been told to confront it and expose it for what it is.
Matthew 6:24 - "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money."
Luke 16:13 - "No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money."
Granted, Jesus was talking about the love of money. But the Scripture has a much deeper meaning. You cannot serve both God and false idols.
So once again, make a decision. You can either abandon the false idols and follow Christ exclusively, or you can ditch Jesus and continue down the path of destruction. It's your choice. No one can make it for you.
