I agree with you. Let us analyze a little bit if you don't mind.God comes to this world by entering a deserving devotee existing on this earth called as SON OF GOD to become human incarnation of God. The original God is unimaginable, and invisible. Such God enters an energetic form in the upper world and is called FATHER OF HEAVEN. This Father of heaven enters to a deserving devotee existing on the earth to become SON OF GOD or HUMAN INCARNATION OF GOD. Thus Jesus was such SON OF GOD to whom FATHER OF HEAVEN ENTERED for the mission of divine knowledge propagation in this world. Whoever has seen alive Jesus that time had seen Father of heaven only, this is the only way for human beings here, when any human being meeting present SON OF GOD he had seen the Father of heaven. This was the reason why Jesus told to Philip that when he had seen Jesus he had verily seen Father of heaven only.
Let us analyse in detail these divine knowledge.
The energetic incarnation in which unimaginable God merged is meant by the word ‘Father’. Son means the human being component selected by Father in which the Father gets merged and such son is called as human incarnation or Son of God. Since the unimaginable God exists in both Father and Son, both are one and the same because anything done by Father and Son must be the same due to the same common unimaginable God. Hence, there is no difference between Father and Son since both are the incarnations of unimaginable God only. Both are like the two hands doing the same work and two legs walking in the same direction. Jesus is the human incarnation like cotton shirt and the divine Father of heaven is the energetic incarnation like silk shirt of the same person called unimaginable God. Jesus says that the Son of God (Himself) will judge the souls and not the Father.
The meaning of this statement is that though Father and Son are one and the same, you have to call the mediated unimaginable God by the name of the Son of God only since the Son of God (human incarnation) is relevant to this humanity and not the Father (energetic incarnation), who is relevant to the energetic souls present in the upper world only. When a person staying in the state of Tamilnadu ( a state in India) says ‘our chief minister’, he is only referring the chief minister of the state of Tamilanadu only and not the chief minister of Orissa ( another state in India) though both are the same chief ministers only. When you are staying in a state, the chief minister of that state is only relevant to you to approach for any grievance and not the chief minister of other state. This statement reveals only the stress of relevance of human incarnation for the humanity. The human being believing the human incarnation is always blessed by the absolute God, who exists in that very human incarnation only and such devotee crosses over from death to life. Here death means the state in which God is forgotten (Ref.: Sanat Sujitiyam of Mahabharata) and life means the state in which God is always remembered. It is crossing over the worldly bonds to reach bond with God. The believer in the human incarnation participates in the propagation of the knowledge of human incarnation and such a divine servant will not be judged in the upper world since his/her file will be kept inactive in cold storage. Other ordinary souls are judged and dispatched to the concerned upper worlds like heaven and hell as per the judicial inquiry of the file of the soul.

Thank you very much...!!
The sin, which is the source of all sufferings, cannot be cancelled through any extent of devotion and any extent of dearness and nearness to God. No way is competent to cancel the sin except one path. Such only one path is real and permanent transformation of the mind. Such transformation will avoid the doing of sin in future. Since the punishment given for the sin done in the past also aims at this transformation only, there is no meaning of punishing the soul further for the past sins after the transformation. Hence, the permanent and real transformation of the soul cancels all the past sins and the future possibility of doing any sin more. There is no other way than this because such unique way is the will of God.
If God cancels all your past sins, it means that you are really and permanently transformed and that you will never do sin in the future. Such permanent and real transformation of the soul can be achieved only by getting the true knowledge, which is the starting step of the correct treatment. After getting the true knowledge, you will try to travel in the right path and now your effort gains importance. Gradually, you will succeed in getting the real and permanent transformation through the right knowledge associated with your subsequent effort to implement the right knowledge in practice. Both right knowledge and your effort are necessary to achieve the goal.

The property i referred here means extra luxuries even after fulfilling the basic requirements. God is the Lord for both Pravrutti (Obeying justice) and Nivrutti (Loving Service to Lord). If the Lord is not pleased in Pravrutti you cannot please Him in Nivrutti also. The fundamental requirement to please the Lord in Pravrutti is to have satisfaction at every step. The contentment with whatever you have will always please the Lord. You must be happy with whatever is already given to you by the Lord and you must always thank for the past. You should not put your eye on the present or the future and put an application to the Lord. Even if you have travelled from one place to other place you must thank the Lord for having protected you during the journey. You have reached the destiny only by the grace of the Lord. It is not sure that one will reach the destiny by a bus or train or aeroplane.
If any accident takes place you are gone forever. Everybody is under the influence of strong ignorance and thinks that he has reached the destiny by his effort. Some people think that reaching the destiny does not need any effort and it is just a routine thing. Therefore, either you feel egoistic for your effort or you neglect the journey as a routine matter, which does not require any effort. Both these are illusions. You have reached the destiny by the grace of the Lord only. Therefore, in every stage you must remember the Lord and express gratefulness to Him. By such behaviour the Lord becomes immensely pleased and is encouraged to do every thing for you. Jesus always used to thank the Lord in every small work also. He always thanked the Lord for the past and never was worried about the present or the future. He thanked the Lord for the four breads already given. He never was worried about the thousands of visitors who came to see Him and they were feeling hungry. He never planned about the future consequence of such situation.
The Lord was extensively pleased and multiplied the four breads into thousands of breads. Therefore, contentment with what already you have and thanking the Lord for whatever was already given will please the Lord. You must thank the Lord even for every respiration because it is only by the will and grace of the Lord the lungs are working and the air is going in and coming out of the lungs. The heart beats and every beat is only by the graceful sanction of the Lord. I find several people who crave for money every time irrespective of what ever they had. They never attain the satisfaction at any stage of the growth of their financial strength. God becomes displeased with such people and will not grant further wealth because the fellow will never get satisfaction. There is no use of granting any amount of wealth because the fellow is never satisfied. When the satisfaction is absent he will not thank the Lord with full heart. Even if he thanks, it is only for the future sanction.

God comes to this world in human form so that one can see Him, touch Him and co-live with Him (Immanueal). God is in the Flesh. 'Word' means divine knowledge. Jesus told I will baptize with fire. What is the fire here means? Fire means excellent true divine knowledge which removes all our spiritual doubts and develop love on Jesus, it is like fire which burns the dirt without any remains. Therefore divine knowledge is the identity mark of God in human form.
Veda says that God is the infinite right knowledge and that God is the excellent knowledge (Satyam Jnanam…, Prajnanam….). This does not mean that God is the knowledge itself. It only means that the possessor of right and excellent knowledge is God and such knowledge is His correct identification mark since it is His inseparable characteristic. If some body wears a red shirt always, the red shirt becomes his identity mark and you can call him as the red shirt like calling “Oh! Red shirt! Come here”. Gita gives clarification on this point, which says that the possessor of knowledge is God (Jnaanitvaatmaiava……). Since God enters the human being only, such identification is mentioned. Thud whoever had seen Jesus had seen Heavenly Father only. Whoever had given food to Jesus had given food to Heavenly Father only, since Heavenly Father was in Jesus all the time and Jesus was God only...

The VEDA was not inspired of GOD.......and HINDUISM has exactly how man gods......I recently was in Australia and drove by a HINDU temple that god's like a full bag of popcorn plastered all over the outside of the building.......sorry.....the only viable source of truth is the Bible when it comes to God.....a book that pushes NUMEROUS gods is false.......anything you use from that book and your religion will be met with open defiance, rejection and vitriol..................
Dattaswami8,
It seems that you've done a fair amount of reading. The ideas you are presenting seem compatible with the truth at first glance. However, it also seems that you have gotten your information from, or are filtering it through, Hindu writings. That is a mistake. Jesus Christ is not revealed in truth in the Hindu "holy" writings. He is revealed truthfully in the Bible.
Read the Bible. Toss anything from any other source that contradicts the Bible. Toss anything which reinterprets biblical truth into something else.
In John 3:16, Jesus says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life." The Son is Jesus, God Himself manifest in the flesh. He is the Creator of the universe in which we live. He is the One Who loves us enough to die on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. Will you respond with what your false religion teaches, or will you surrender yourself to Him? I'd strongly recommend the latter.

As the electricity cannot be separated from the wire, the Holy Spirit cannot be separated from the Holy Jesus. So here the Holy Spirit is the Holy Jesus. Holy Jesus refers this Holy Spirit as His Father. He tells that He was sent by His father as a messenger. Though He and His father are one and the same, He speaks like this for which there is a practical reason i.e., every human being repels with another human being. A man cannot accept another man as God due to Jealousy and Egoism. Bhagavatgita says, “A man will insult Me when I come here in human form (Avajananti mam….)”. For this purpose Holy Jesus wants Himself to be called only as the messenger of the Holy Spirit by the disciples whenever He is introduced to the public. If He tells the truth the egoistic public will not hear even what He preaches and will reject Him. Therefore He is telling His disciples to introduce Him as a messenger only. Ofcourse, the disciples are really the messengers of Holy Jesus.
Holy Spirit has taken over the human body of Holy Jesus and pervaded all over the body to preach the divine knowledge to this world. The same Holy Spirit is sending the disciples for the propagation of the Divine knowledge. Both the body of Holy Jesus and the disciples are instruments of the Holy Spirit chosen for different purposes. The Holy Spirit is preaching through the body of Holy Jesus and is propagating the divine knowledge through disciples. Therefore if you respect the disciple you are respecting the Holy Spirit indirectly. Though both the instruments exist like this, the Holy Spirit is present in Jesus and is not present in the disciples.
Due to this difference the disciple is an indirect instrument and the direct instrument is Holy Jesus. The disciple propagates the divine knowledge after hearing from the Holy Jesus. Therefore when such disciple is respected, Holy Jesus is respected first and then the Holy Spirit. But among the disciples there may be some person who cannot repeat what Holy Jesus exactly preached. In such a case the Holy Spirit will take over the body of that disciple and preaches (Mathew 10: 20). Such a disciple differs from Holy Jesus because the Holy Spirit resides in that disciple for some time only where as the Holy Spirit resides in Jesus all the time.
Holy Jesus is telling that He is the messenger of the Holy Spirit and He is also telling that the disciple is His messenger. He is giving the same status to Himself and the disciple by telling like this. The reason is that some disciple may become jealous in future if He says that He Himself is the Holy Spirit where as the disciple is His messenger only. The difference in the status may bring jealousy. Therefore He is maintaining the equal status so that no devotee becomes jealous of Jesus in the future. Due to jealousy the disciple may slip from Holy Jesus.
When He says that He is only the messenger, this shows the humble and submissiveness of Holy Jesus. He wants His disciples to be humble and submissive to the Holy Spirit through out their lives. For this purpose He sets Himself as an ideal. The Holy Spirit present in the human body of Holy Jesus is the essence of true and infinite knowledge as Veda says “Satyam Jnanam Anantam Brahma….” Humbleness and submissiveness are the fruits of the Divine Knowledge. Therefore the humbleness and submissiveness are the qualities of the Holy Spirit itself. This means whatever Holy Jesus speaks is the statement of the Holy Spirit only.
OK....There is only one God!! That God is UNIMAGINABLE, that is we cannot comprehend Him and He is beyond logic. Such absolute God cannot be seen at all!! But the same God comes in human form we can see Him here itself in this world. God comes to this world for preaching divine knowledge to the humanity for their upliftment. We have to use logic and analyse any point. That is very important. Blindly we should not accept any point.
The knowledge isof two types:
1) Knowledge ofGod, which means the information about the material with which God is made of,the size and form in which God exists, etc., This is unimaginable as said in theVeda and the Gita. You can arrive at this conclusion even through scientificlogic. God is the generator of the space. Space or anything cannot exist beforeits generation. God exists before the generation of the space. Hence, spacecannot exist in God before its generation. When there is no space, there are nospatial dimensions. It means God is beyond space. We can never imagine anythingbeyond space. Therefore, God is unimaginable.
2) Knowledge given by God for the sake of humanity, which is imaginable and can be subjected to the logical analysis. This does not mean that we have to analyse the knowledge given by God doubting it. But, the knowledge given by God must be also analysed. The reason is that the knowledge given by God is polluted with the knowledge inserted by ignorant and selfish human scholars. This inserted knowledge also appears as if it is the divine knowledge given by God. It is difficult to isolate the divine knowledge from inserted knowledge since both are mixed in the same scripture. It is just like the difficulty in distinguishing the fake note from the genuine note while counting a bundle of currency notes. Hence, the Reserve Bank that published genuine notes has given a procedure to distinguish both these notes.
Similarly, God has given intelligence to us, which is capable of doing logical analysis to distinguish both these types of knowledge. We have to use our intelligence in this context, which is the highest faculty that gives us the right direction. God says in the Veda that intelligence or Buddhi is the driver of the car. Car is the body and senses are the wheels. Steering rod is the mind. The owner of the car is the soul. The safety of the car and owner are totally in the hands of the driver. If the driver is inactive, there is no movement at all. If the driver acts wrongly, the lives of both car and the owner are gone.Therefore, the right direction of the body and the soul totally depends on intelligence or driver only (Buddhimtu Saarathim...). The intelligence does not function due to Tamas. There is no activity at all. If the intelligence functions wrongly due to Rajas or ego, the fate of soul and body are gone. Therefore, the logical analysis is as important as the driver of the car in the journey, whether journey is in worldly way (Pravrutti) or spiritual way (Nivrutti).

We are to pray to the Father, not to the Holy spirit.
2And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
After repentance, we are to be baptized. (Acts 2:38).
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name
of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Repent and turn from doing evil

There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit;
neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war;
neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.
