Persons who are involved with false religion must also adopt this process but they are most often the worst offenders when it comes to submissive enquiry because they have years of false indoctrination to be dealt with.

You better get busy then.

that's okay. qualifications don't bother religious folks. after all, they all fancy themselves experts on evolution and cosmology.

Some verses concerning what God has given for man to eat as food.
Man was to eat fruit and vegetables in the beginning:

God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male
and female He created them. God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be
fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of

whatever is not from faith is sin. (Romans 14:20-23)

You cannot quote the Bible because it is not the authority and is therefore a conflict of interest.

You must go to the only authority the Vedas.

You would have to have an very extraordinary situation for a teacher not to teach what he intended to teach. (with regards to the education system)

Let me try this another way. Do you, Dasa, or do you RJ, think you are actually teaching what you intend to teach, here? Don't forget, if the student hasn't learned, the teacher hasn't taught. I would call both of your teaching methods failures. With some exceptions on your part, Dasa, when you simply annotate your scriptures, with a take it or leave it approach.

Jesus is the authority.

But 3 -4 hundred years after the death of Jesus the Bible has been written by academics, poets, politicians, pseudo clergy........ who where unauthorized and unqualified and they misrepresented the teachings of Jesus to create a doctrine for the animal killers.

The Bible is fabricated from superstitious beliefs by meat eaters and animal killers.

I am not trying to teach anything, maybe that is why my teaching
methods are a failure. I am discussing and debating, not teaching.
However in some cases I am attempting to wake people up to the
fact that they need to study the Holy Bible to learn the truth about
Jesus in the hopes they might accept Him as their Lord and Savior.

I wonder if Dasa heaps personal abuse on people he meets in 'real' life who do not share belief system, as he does here.

This is a very harsh statement about those that attempted to translate
the Holy Bible into languages others could understand. Do you have
any proof that they changed the text in the original languages?

I am here to expose false science and false religion and to inform persons where they may go to receive true knowledge.

My part is done ......but if they are foolish and dishonest and defend the teaching that conscious life comes from a stone them what can be said.

FMF your false teaching that spirituality can be invented and killing animals is wonderful is the teachings of a dishonest fool and rascal.

This is truth.

The proof is recognized in the foolish teaching themselves........but honesty and education is needed to see this.

Jesus never supported animal slaughter and he was killed trying to educate the people in true spirituality by the pseudo religious leaders at the time who where threatened by his authority.

I do not claim to be a teacher. I only claim to be being honest about my spirituality.

So, does this "answer" of yours mean you do heap personal abuse on people you meet in 'real' life who do not share your belief system, as you do here on this web site, or you don't?
