Guest guest Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Here is the Rig Veda chapter which our Christian friend claims is a prediction of Jesus Christ's birth and crucifixion. Let him come forth, and quote the exact mantras + translation from THIS posting which he claims are predictions of Jesus. Please note again that the translator quoted here is himself a Christian. As you can see, there is nothing here that speaks of the Purusha being "the only begotten son,being born of a virgin," or any other such Christian sentiment. Our Christian friend, who isn't sure if he is a Christian or a Hindu, just keeps repeating the same old sentimental drivel. Some people are just so dense that they can't figure out when they've been defeated.
