Would You Kill God?

[Prussia-Steinbach]

No

So then the Christian God was once born. What's the issue here?

It's not like Krishna didn't exist before he was born.

Indeed.

In fact, even Lord Brahma was "born" before the universe was created, since it was quite obviously him that did the deed.

Do you think Christ and the Father are separate entities?

I am fully aware of the doctrine of the Trinity. I want to know if he is.

And yet he was once born. So what's your point?

My point is that the two theologies can't coexist. Just because they have a few similarities it doesn't mean they're the same exact thing.

God is real. His existence is apparent. Maybe other people figured out that God existed, and their theology is just incorrect.

[New Axiom]

No

Do you think Christ and the Father are separate entities?

Yes, becuase Jesus is Gods son, but together with the holy spirit they make the holy trinity, so in a way, no.

EDIT: I didn't notice the chart until just now.

Similar doesn't mean exactly the same.

They aren't described the exact same way. But perhaps Krishna and God are the same being interpreted in different ways.

I think most of the people who seriously argue the point argue that Krishna and Jesus are the same being, and both avatars of the singular God(ish thing) Brahman.

The Christian God is Trinitarian, the Hindu gods are not. Thus, their nature is completely different, making them not the same.

[Prussia-Steinbach]

Not according to certain theologies, like Vedanta.

What is Vedanta?

OKAY! OKAY!! let's just keep this forum dedicated to the word game. We can set up a thread for this argument if you want. Calm down.

This only demonstrates your ignorance of Hinduism. Acting like Vishnu, Sri, Shiva, Parvati, Brahma, and Saraswati are somehow not all the same.

Not that Hindus are the only ones to worship the Ultimate Reality.

Two theologies absolutely can coexist, and do in all syncretic religions.

But that can't possibly be your point, because it has nothing to do with any of your responses to my posts.

What is Vedanta?

It's a school of Hindu philosophy. But isn't really "Hinduism" as most Westerners would identify it.

If I ever returned to religion or spirituality, this would probably be my choice.

Right now we're just having an argument about theologies and philosophy and religion.

Okay then, so can you explain to me why God and the Hindu gods present themselves in completely different ways then? I mean, if they're all just the same thing, then they could at least tell their followers about the different religions established in their names.

The Hindus were Trinitarian before it was cool.

Not true. Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are a trinity god.

Isn't NSG more about discussions than games? Games belong to F7.

Not exactly in the same way as the Christian God, but yeah. They have a thing called Trimurti, where Brahman is Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.

Not true. Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are a trinity god.

Not really, they don't have the same unity that the Trinity does.

[Prussia-Steinbach]

Not true. Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are a trinity god.

Not really, they don't have the same unity that the Trinity does.

..actually, they really do. They're all just different manifestations ("persons") of a single, infinite god.

Just like the Father, Son, and Spirit.

In Hinduism all things have more profound unity then anything in Christianity.

No, the Trinity is three distinct persons, but the Hindu gods are just different manifestations.

...this is not a "game." It's a discussion. We're in a discussion forum. F7 is where you'll find games.

And that's the fucking point, bud. Of course we're having a theological discussion, the damn OP is about theological theory.

Literally the same thing bud.

If you deny the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are the same god, you're a heretic.
