Five tests of true religion
- It must exist in its entirety from the beginning of creation for all of mankind.
Oppose -
Millions born before Moses were deprived of the “Ten commandments”, an injustice, which cannot be the work of a Just, Compassionate and Merciful God.
It must conform to (immutable) natural laws.
Oppose -
The cause of the physical body is the reproductive element - any other method as man was created from dust is a breach to this law.
It must be in harmony with reasoning.
Oppose -
Incest, which results in mental and physical infirmities, is an immoral action and it had to be the same also in the beginning (creation of one man and one woman).
It must be in harmony with science.
Oppose -
Modern science has proven creation to be more than 6,000 years old and the sun is not stationary, a contradiction to the revelation of the Torah.
Its truth must be confirmed by four evidences:-
(i) Direct Cognition - Not all that is known by perception can be true.
(ii) Inferences - God is eternal therefore we can infer that there were past creations and as well as there will be future ones.
(iii) Testimony - The testimonies of Rishis, sages and seers of the Vedas (altruistic teachers are all in harmony with each other.
(iv) History - There are many books (Mahabharata, Valmiki's Ramayan) and source of other civilization which speak of the past ancient Vedic (Aryan) civilization of 5,000 years ago and earlier. Let's be reasonable when it comes the most abstruse science of God (wisdom), that the ignorant and the wise can never achieve the same rewards.

"So the Lord sent pestilence upon Israel and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men." 1 Chron.21:14"Can this God of Jews ever be free of making himself restless? On the house of Israel that He had blessed so often and for whose welfare He had been exerting himself day and night he sends pestilence in a fit of rage and destroyed 70,000 men. Some poet had said, "He that is pleased in one moment and displeased in the next, in other words, whose pleasure and displeasure are momentary, is to be feared even when pleased." This is an absolute truth of the Jewish God. |
Redemption is a fool's passport to a fool's paradise, a paradise of pain and misery.
All theories or facts, theological or scientific, must conform with
NATURAL LAWS
