Church and Religion
A posting provoked by Giving it up for money.
I think that most people (religious and atheists) wrongly associate Church with Religion.
Religion is Knowledge about God.
Religion is more like Philosophy.
Church is community of people following the same belief (not religion)
Religion can not change its meaning and Truth.
Church does it.
Belief although based on religion is interpretation of The Truth (The Religion).
(different interpretations - different belief)
If I have to make it easy to understand, Jesus is The Religion.
Everything that Jesus said in His teachings is The Religion.
(Buddha is The Religion, Krishna is The Religion…)
It is very important to understand that The Religion of Jesus is nothing but His words understood with His Understanding (feeling)
Studying and raveling His words is not Religion.
Following Jesus’ words is not Religion.
Agreeing with His words is not religion.
Defending His words is not Religion.
Putting your life on Jesus’ words is not Religion.
Religion is Truth.
Following the Truth is not the Truth.
Following makes you follower.
The Truth makes you God.
Religion is The Word of God.
Therefore the Church has nothing to do with the Religion.
All churches claim to be established on the spiritual base of The Religion.
Wrong!
The churches are based on social common interests
The church went so deep in the material social life that to raise funds for social use became as normal as advertising and they even advertise in the church.
Fights for church domination is normal in our world.
The world is divided on poor and rich and the churches are on the rich side.
What the money has to do with your personal strive for finding God?
How building churches and sacred edifices is bringing God closer to you?
God is something personal.
God is not for crowd use!
The crowd is the worst enemy of God.
Creating religious crowds is like gathering army against God.
“Religious” people went so far in their delusion that they even connect politic with Religion.
So, why do you go in the church?
Do you go there to find God or to socialize?
Step in your dark inner room and see what is there.
P.S. Very often I see people who give money to the beggers.
They take money out of their pockets, count how much to give and the rest they put back in the pocket.
What do they buy with this money?

Contradictions in The Koran
There is ongoing discussion (Bulgarian language) in Truden Web Site about the contradictions in The Koran.
If this entry comes to the attention of an educated expert in Islamic religion, please enlighten us on the next deceiving contradictions:
[2.62] Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor shall they grieve.
and
[5.82] Certainly you will find the most violent of people in enmity for those who believe (to be) the Jews and those who are polytheists, and you will certainly find the nearest in friendship to those who believe (to be) those who say: We are Christians; this is because there are priests and monks among them and because they do not behave proudly.
Contradicts to:
[5.51] O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.
The contradiction is regarding the Christians, which is amplified by the fact that Mohammad was married to Christian woman.

Mohammad was teaching people to be good to each other.
Here is a quote from The Koran:
[4.36] And serve Allah and do not associate any thing with Him and be good to the parents and to the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the neighbor of (your) kin and the alien neighbor, and the companion in a journey and the wayfarer and those whom your right hands possess; surely Allah does not love him who is proud, boastful;
But few lines down we find verse which contradict the above:
[4.89] They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah’s way; but if they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper.

Mohammad did acknowledge Jesus as Prophet, because Allah showed him the Prophets.
It is written in The Koran that Allah saved Jesus by taking Him to the Heaven.
A prophet can not reject the teaching from another prophet who was saved by Allah.
Therefore Mohammad could not teach that killing is acceptable.
About killing, Mohammad said:
[17.31] And do not kill your children for fear of poverty; We give them sustenance and yourselves (too); surely to kill them is a great wrong.
Do not kill your children (!)
We know that a law comes after the crime.
So it was good to teach people not to kill their children.
And that is 500 years after Jesus (!)
Another place where we can see “do not kill” is here:
[17.33] And do not kill any one whom Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause, and whoever is slain unjustly, We have indeed given to his heir authority, so let him not exceed the just limits in slaying; surely he is aided.
I don’t think that Mohammad would go against Isa (Jesus) allowing killing in some occasions and limits.
That is clearly going against the word of a Prophet in the Koran.
So, what do you think?
Do you think that Mohammad gave contradicting teachings, or somehow His teachings were changed for some reason?

The new 7 wonders of the world
THE NEW 7 WONDERS OF THE WORLD were officially announced during the Official Declaration ceremony in Lisbon, Portugal on Saturday, July 7, 2007 - 07.07.07.
Surprisingly the Pyramids of Giza were not voted (!) as one of the new seven wonders of the world.
