Raghu got more explicit now.While many of the things he wrote are true the spolier lies in the above quote. Raghu, tell me how can a lay hindu trust "brahminical authority" which manufactured and doctored various puranas to tighten their hold on divinity.I can quote many examples like dadeechi,brigu etc.

The old testament quotes provided above are not from Jesus. Now, i have to take a break as there is real danger of being sidetracked from bhakthi(as warned by Bhaktajan above.)

The pdf link, if you cared to read says quote Rev. Hart: “Thou shalt have no other gods before Me” (Exodus 20.3). ..... Thou shalt not bow down to them, nor serve them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God. (Exodus 20.4-5) Now what this has relevance to Lord Krishna??. Is Krishna a jealous god??? Krishna says he grants wishes of people who worship other god(s). <!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--> <!--[endif]--> Gita 7.22: Endowed with such a faith, he endeavors to worship a particular demigod and obtains his desires. But in actuality these benefits are bestowed by Me alone. 7.21: I am in everyone's heart as the Supersoul. As soon as one desires to worship some deva(god), I make his faith steady so that he can devote himself to that particular deity.

You win.By the way i am writing a book and one of my favorite line in that book is <!--[if gte mso 10]> .......> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} ........> <![endif]--> Chandu:11 But the stupid shall inherit the forums; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of idiocy.

Christian god is anthropomorphic. Genesis 1:27 :So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Exodus 24:9-11:<sup id="en-NKJV-2187" class="versenum" value="9">9</sup> Then Moses went up, also Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, <sup id="en-NKJV-2188" class="versenum" value="10">10</sup> and they <u>saw the God of Israel. And there was under His feet</u> as it were a paved work of sapphire stone, and it was like the very heavens in its clarity. <sup id="en-NKJV-2189" class="versenum" value="11">11</sup> But on the nobles of the children of Israel He did not lay His hand. So they saw God, and they ate and drank.

My sincere request to sant and ranjeetmore: Please stay away from topics which you have no idea of ,and curb your propensity to take every bait of sambya.

When you reach that stage of maturity you(we) will know.But that is far far away.

Hindus can stay sidelines on this aspect.The resurgence of old testament principles, i suspect is to counter the attacks by resurgent and wealthy islam.The church is in the process of recruiting foot soldiers to prepare for <cite>"final clash" of the </cite>end times.

Profound .

Where did you get the description of Mount of Yahweh?.Do you know Yahweh cannot be referred by his name.The jews refer him with fear writing god as go-d.

And you have not read the bible or quran otherwise you would not have made this stupid statement.FYI, bible has two parts OT and NT.

I am not an expert in oceanology and floods but the source of flood tales is in and around europe and mediterranean areas.

I am talking about number of people participated in warnot Aryabatta's prediction on the dating of war. The one crucial thing to be understood is The war is fought in the BATTLE FIELD.There is no evidence that noncombatants are pursued and attacked.

I think you are reading lot of fiction.Aryabhatta was born abt 1500 years back, so anything attributed to his prediction regarding mahabharat should be false.Leaving aside The number of people participated in mahabharat war there is no reason to suspect that no people are left to procreate.Mahabharat war is between two ARMIES and Civilians are left unharmed.This is not a war between beleivers and unbeleivers where civilians are killed and looted of their properties for being unbeleivers(heathens). The flood stories of various civilizations(outside of india) are of relatively recent origin like abt 4000 years back but the evidence is not conclusive regarding dating.

Gita 18:66 Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear.

When was the last time they were close .

Krishna didn't say anywhere in Gita about hellish planets.Krishna talks about hell on earth.

The flood might have happened in other parts of world probably around 4000 years back.That flood was not similar to the yugantha flood.

Copy pasting huge text is not a spiritual discussion.

What you have to understand is, this adam and eve purana was written in 19th century probably with some british missionary inputs.This story is a bad concoction of adam and eve story mixed with the much later flood story.Look before you leap. No scholar worth his name has commented on this so called purana.If you start quoting the innumerable puranas of doubtful authors you will be lost.

The confusion increases when one reads all the verses in the Hymn. It is titled visvedevas.It is taking about gods.How come the first verse talks about noble thoughts?

I don't either to that view. Correct, if that bhakti is restricted to pursuit of bhakthi alone.

That nonsense is called BHAVISHYA PURAANA

I second that.

Of course they left tons of thoughts for the inquiring mind.For the less intelligent with closed minds there is always blind faith(mooda bhakthi).What Prahlada demonstrated is Strong faith not blind faith.Strong faith is the hall mark of enlightened souls.Strong faith cannot be equated with blind faith. Just my thoughts.
