Hindu Speaker at Catholic Church - URGENT Action needed!!!

[Buddha-Full]

Peace,

Thank you for your thoughtful answer. I better understand the point of view being discussed now.

It was the addition of the “URGENT Action” that caught my attention to this thread. I would rather see “Urgent Action - Another child is hungry-PLEASE HELP” than the word “urgent” being used in response to a Hindu visitor.

Again, a sincere thank you.

with lovingkindness,
BF

The combination of the evidence of contemporary history and Holy Scripture (which the Church declares infallably to be inspired and inerrant) attest to the resurrection.

I have found no historical data to suggest ANYONE EVER rose from the dead. As far as scripture goes, I don’t believe anyone that claims infallablity (eventhough I don’t see anything about infallability in the bible). Of course your biased religious source says it happened. This offers no proof. The resurrection is a secondary characteristic of the story. The main point was compassion and love, but I guess it is better to over interpret that to mean only people that are exactly like yourself.

While, doctrinally, yoga is an ancient outdated attempt to attain divine union, practically, this fact means little to a lukewarm laity that is hungry for access to spiritual experiences

The same could be said for christianity. The truth is that yoga is not a religion, it is an exercise. The attributes of karma and reincarnation, are actually hindu and not part of an inherant yoga belief. So while you may use yoga to attain some sort of spiritualism, it is not required, and does not speak ill of the practice anymore than the act of praying to statues would cheapen the act of prayer.

PS: Do you REALLY hold that no one rose from the dead?

For the sake of this argument yes. If you have taken philosophy then I’m sure you remember the critical errors in reason. You are commiting those errors. A biased source is flawed logic. It happened because this book said it happened. Man made the book. The book says man is infallable.( I realize this is over simplification before I get a million definitions of infallability or some other non sense.) My point is that the reasoning is unsound and therefore flawed. If you were to say " I believe that Jesus rose from the dead, because I believe that his book is divinely inspired". Then your argument is sound. But if you assert that these things DID happen, because you believe they did, that is flawed.

My “source” is not biased.

It cannot teach error.
