Combines Buddhism, Judaism and Christianity

Should print from Microsoft Word to 8.5 x 11 pages
Only 16 pages. Trying to see if it's somewhat convincing, even though
somewhat foolish.
Comments welcome. |

well, the doc. is truly Gnostic.
Gnosticism is the philosophy of worldly wisdom completely foreign to the Word of
God as it try's to understand God and man's relationship to Him.
the writing is not convincing.
its not convincing because God can only be known if He acted first in redeeming man
by applying the atonement of Jesus Christ to man's sin sick soul. then and only then
will man ever come to know God in that saving sense of full deliverance to the
bondage of Satan, sin and eternal death.
this is what ' born again ' or more accurately, ' born from above, ' means.
( Jn. 3:3 ) in other words, one can not possibly know the Living God unless one is
first, born again by the hand of God.
the Word of God is simple and direct as far as man's relationship to God is
concerned... man is " dead in trespasses and sins. " ( Eph. 2:1-3 ) he is in the
" snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will. " ( 2 Tim.
2:26 )
man is " atheos " ... rendered " without God " ( Eph. 2:12 ) and will most
assuredly face an angry God on Judgement Day unless the Living God intervenes
somewhere before that Day having given him life and the faith of Jesus.
hence, the religions of the world which are based in any other means to knowing God
are headed for destruction... there is only one way to Him and that is through Jesus
Christ Eternal God the Son...
" I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through
Me. ' Jn. 14:6
any and every other way is not the way God designed His plan of salvation... the
remittance of sin and life eternal... a living relationship with the Living God. a
man needs someone to stand in his place before God in Judgement... he otherwise
stands before God guilty of sin... and whatever is not of the faith of Jesus, is sin.
Ro. 14:23
how then can a person find the Living God ? He is " found by those who did not
seek Him, He became known to those who did not ask after Him." Ro. 10:20
this amazing statement of the Lord God to us through His prophet Isaiah relates to
the Divine plan of salvation... " Salvation belongs to the Lord. " Ps. 3:8
salvation... the remittance of sin and the giving of life by God so as to know Him
and be known of Him in this life and that to come is obtained solely by " waiting "
( Ps. 147:11 ) upon the Lord to show His mercy, love and grace should our names have
been written in the Lamb's Book of Life. rev. 20:12-15
