Does including atheism in front of xyz make it more or less made up? Is atheistic hinduism the same as atheistic buddhism, or atheistic Christianity, or atheistic Islam?

If it's all made up, and it's all a choice, then what's it to you what I want to believe in, or not believe in?

Why would anyone who spends more than 3 seconds dealing with Indians ever take any form of hinduism seriously?
At least Christianity developed the wealthiest and most sophisticated society ever conceived of, in both material and spiritual concerns. And Islam was more or less equal to it until white people discovered uppers in the 16th century (which Muslims had before then)
India doesn't have anything worth learning from or preserving, and the stuff that at first glance looks worthwhile was put there by Brits and Muslims (ok, just the taj mahal lol)

Trinity doesn't sit well with the Quran's monism. Ibn Arabi criticizes Christians because they believe God was incarnated in Christ only, when in fact God is immanant in the world and manifest in everyone and everything. God is more like a force or a principal. All humans are in a sense in God, but no human can be God incarnate or contain God within a limit. Jesus is divine in the sense he is in God and that he is favored by God, but besides being favored and having unique virtues he is just a regular guy like the rest of us. The world and mortal creatures are just one mode of God.
>>
>>23615365
Incarnation doesn't preclude immanence lol

he did and can

>things are modes of God
no
>>
>>23615149
>I said 'You are Gods'
>>
>>23615472
Incarnation is saying God was contained within the body of Christ. Since a bodies have limits, this would imply God is limited or contained within the body of a particular individual. How can an eternal and infinite being be contained within a limit? You'd also have to explain how the rest of the world exists without leading to a kind of dualism. Its for this reason the idea of Christ being God incarnate is rejected by Muslims.
>>
>>23615145
>Jesus was born of a virgin
Is it even biologically possible? Was it ever actually proven that his mother was a virgin by the time she became pregnant?
>>
>>23615518
The Son's divine nature assumed a human nature. When Jesus took on human flesh, His divine nature did not change. When Jesus became a man, His divine nature did not change from infinite to finite.

If you are asking, "How can Jesus be both infinite and finite?" Jesus has two natures: divine and human. The characteristic of being infinite is an attribute of His divine nature. Being finite is an attribute of His human nature.

>How can an eternal and infinite being be contained within a limit?
How can matter contain immaterial spirit? How can spirit contain matter? The problem is the idea of containment. Rather what's happening is union with, union between two natures. This union is a mystery to our vision, especially after the Fall since we think in very dim and materialistic terms.

The actual mechanics or physics of how he assumed human nature is a mystery. But we already know God can interact and enter into creation whenever he wishes, otherwise no being, man or angel would be able to interact or discourse with God. Adam and Eve walked and talked with God after all, not an apparition or proxy.

Christianity is basically Hindu. Hindu believe in Brahman. One Ultimate reality and absolute principle. But it can incarnated and manifest itself into million of gods. Christianity belief in one god but can manifest and incarnated itself into Jesus. Jesus is also god. So what the difference here? No difference. You defend trinity with arguments of Hindu. Hindu people also defend their religion like that albeit more complex than Trinity to justified their million god which emanation from one divine principle. Strict monotheism is simple. If christian justified their trinity you are no better than Hindu. You are basically pagan lite

He literally says "The father and I are one" in John.
Also, why was he crucifixed then? In the gospels it's because he claims to be God. That was his blasphemy (Which is not a blasphemy because it was true)

Why would this be a blasphemy before Christianity was even a thing? Why would Romans even care some guy claimed to be a god, when they had dozens of demi-gods running around the empire?
>>
>>23619996
With this comment you show as clear as day that you have not read the old nor the new testament. And you prefer to read others opinions on the source rather than the source itself.

There is a thing called Judaism which is present in all of the old testament that says that idolatry of other gods is a blasphemy, thus whoever claims to be God is a blasphemer.

Also, the romans where not the people who sentenced Jesus to death, those were the israelites. The romans in the new testament said that Jesus was completely innocent, but they crucifixed him because the pharisees judged him to death and then the israelites democratically voted to kill him. In fact the roman commandant says that he doesn't want to kill Jesus.

The Jews had a prophecy (Isaiah 9:6) that a "young woman" would give birth. In the Greek, this was translated or mistranslated as "parthenos" meaning virgin.

Thus it was necessary to the public view that the Messiah be born of a virgin for the Jews to accept him.

>no human can be God
Isn’t this just denying omnipotence?
This is something I’ve never understood about Muslims. Among most competing religions, they merely deny that Christian doctrine is true. The simply say that God is not incarnate in Jesus, that God doesn’t have a son, etc. Whereas Muslims, and even the Quran itself, seems to say that these things CAN’T be possible. It’s not that God doesn’t have a son, but He CAN NOT have a son. It’s not that God isn’t incarnate in Christ Jesus, but God CAN NOT incarnate in any human. Muslim God just isn’t omnipotent.

yes. he was a based enlightened muslim sage, anon.

anyway read bhagavad gita and you will understand how god is omnipotent and capable of anything, of course god can inhabit a human form (Krishna, Christ) while at the same time being the very essence and substance of the whole universe and being beyond it also. God is easier described in apophatic manner.

Jesus didn't promote or encourage pedophilia and murdering unbelievers like Mohammed (piss be upon him) did, yet all the atheistroons are still endlessly seething at Jesus because Jesus is God and they hate God. They don't really care about Pisslam, they wouldn't want to be "islamophobic" anyway.

that's only true for secular texts
the Bible is not a secular text, it's from God.
and God is such an effective communicator, and protector of His word, that He made His word understandable in any language thanks to His Holy Spirit imputing understanding into the reader.
without the Holy Spirit helping you read the Bible you will never understand it.

You Christian is basically Hindu lite. Hindu also believe in absolute one divine principle but can incarnated and emanates into million gods. But they all interconnected. They also claimed to worship the one.what difference between Hindu and Christianity then? God can incarnated and emanates into human god but it all interconnected as one principle. All pagan thought and philosophy think this too. Jews and Muslims need to kicked pagan Christian out of monotheist club. Really stinks the whole thing.

Well it is pretty clear in the gospels. In every single of them, the reason of the crucifixion is because he said "Before Moses and Abraham, I Am" (I Am is how God called himself when Moses asked his name).
And in the book of John there is the dialogue of the roman commander saying that Jesus did nothing wrong and trying to convince the people to vote for his liberation.

It might seem mysterious or paradoxical but it's not a contradiction. He assumed a human nature while retaining divine nature, the two are united in one hypostasis but not intermingled or confused.
Other things might seem paradoxical too, like free-will operating under divine Providence. Immaterial (spirit) uniting with matter. Or time having a beginning, or time having no beginning. Space having an end. Etc

Any god that cannot change is nature cannot be omnipotent.
The definition of omnipotence used by theologians, philosophers of religion and religious apologists is nothing more than a cope by people trying to claim the god represented in their scripture is greatest authority imaginable. The world would be a better place if state got rid of all those who are involved with the aforementioned fields.

Eh, Descartes was a Christian, but he was one of the few who dared to be coherent on this subject.

Saying flawed human is god is insult upon god majesty, honor and perfection. You insult god by saying he is weak and died on the cross. God can't be imperfect and defect. It is impossible for god to be imperfect, flaw, defect,weak. If god is imperfect,flawed,defect and weak. It is not a god in the first place. God will always be powerful and he can't be weak. His essence is unknowable. So we only knows god through their names and attributes for us feeble human mind to understand. absolute perfection can't be imperfect. Simple as that. If you say god can do anything he wants including being imperfect and weak. He is not actually perfect in the first place. contradictory and illogical. If your god is illogical and inconsistent then your god is not rational. There will be no moral objective and moral relativism will be supreme. They will be no consistency and universe will be chaotic. You should not follow any law at all. You god is illogical thus can be immoral. Human that follow that god should be immoral and illogical too. That's is not my god. My god is logical and have morals. Thus the human should be logical and has moral too.

>>23623996
We need to define what omnipotent is in the first place. if god can change its nature and be called omnipotent. Then that is basically Hindu concept of god really is. Hindu god is ultimately one. Called brahman but can change and be anything he wants. So, Everything is god. Congrats you have found pagan Hindu philosophy. If that god is what you called omnipotence. Go worship them become pajeet hindu.
>>
>>23623452
They will be no distinction between creator and created then. So basically you want your god to be pantheism god. Where there is no concept of creation and creator. So everything is god.
>>
>>23624287
>So, Everything is god
This doesn't follow from the previous claims. Again, what you're doing is desperate rationalization.
