Its simple.

If a person behaves like a fool and rascal then that is what they are.

Bhagavad Gita
sattvat sanjayate jnanam
rajaso lobha eva ca
pramada-mohau tamaso
bhavato 'jnanam eva ca

SYNONYMS
sattvat--from the mode of goodness; sanjayate--develops; jnanam--knowledge; r ...[text shortened]... then you are also a fool.

It has been decided by authority.

It has nothing to do with me.

After Jesus was resurrected from the dead, He told His disciples,
"All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth."

Does that make Him a "fool" or a "rascal"?

Oh? So when you compared my spirituality to that of "a 7 year old child with cerebral palsy", or my wife's sex life to that of a "rutting dog", or when you told me I was engaging in "child abuse", or compared me to "a pig eating feces", you did so with Vedic "authority" and "it has nothing to do with [you]"?

You should, of course, believe what you want and live your life as you see fit. But I think your particular approach to what you call "authority" is essentially a profoundly religionist stance and therefore of questionable "spiritual" value to those who fall foul of your intensely them-or-us and self anointed approach. Do you think your approach is serving you and your belief system well?

I have not mentioned Jesus in my post.

I highly respect Jesus...... and I have never said anything other than that I respect Jesus.

I have only ever presented that the Bible has mis-represented the teachings of Jesus and that the Bible teaches falsity.

Jesus does not teach falsity but truth.

But the Bible does not present the truth of Jesus because it was written by fools and rascals with political agenda.

You are constantly manipulating my words to make them appear differently than what I originally intended..

This is dishonest.

Stop manipulating my words.

Vedic authority constantly compares foolish persons with hogs dogs camel and asses.

I can find the particular verse if you request.

You say "if could". How does that answer the question. The only
choices are "fool" and "rascal". You don't understand the "authority"
and you are not qualified to answer the question since you are
"dishonest". Only Dasa is qualified to answer the question unless
he is also "dishonest". We shall see.

Then tell us what you "intended" when you compared my spirituality to that of "a 7 year old child with cerebral palsy". Just tell us.

I respect your answer. However, since all four Gospels presented the
same information about Jesus. Then it would appear to me that you
are saying there was some kind of conspiracy to mis-represent Jesus.
Do I understand you correctly?

One more time then.....

You where at the time rejecting everything I presented.

What I said to you meant the following......and maybe it was not clear enough at the time ( my apologies)

That there is no credit in persons rejecting.

There is no credit in rejecting because anyone can do it. (reject)

Then I said that even a child with cerebral palsy can reject.

I could have said even an old man with dementure can reject and that would have served my purpose to exaggerate the point that anyone can play the rejection game ....its not difficult if a person with mental deficiencies can do it..

I have not implied that FMF is a person with cerebral palsy or is the same as someone with cerebral palsy........but have simply said that no credit should be given to persons who play the rejection game for persons with cerebral palsy can even do it.

And to put everything even further in perspective at the time of that post there was magazine on my desk with an article about health and one of the subjects in it was about treatment for cerebral palsy which was open at that page and it prompted me to use that example over a million different examples I could have used..

The example was to show that rejection needs no qualification and anyone even someone with the mental incapacity of cerebral palsy can also reject quiet easily.

Here is another example......

The Veda constantly informs the readers that people are like hog dogs camels and asses because hog dogs camels and asses do not control their senses and mind and go from one place to another in search of sense satisfaction and persons of material consciousness are doing the same as the animals and the purpose of life is not to be controlled by the senses.

The Veda is not telling Joe Bloggs he is a dog directly........ but he behaves like a dog when it comes to the uncontrolled senses.

I do hope you can appreciate my explanation.

Exactly....exactly.

Jesus is a great spiritual personality and I would never disrespect Jesus in any way, and this is why I get so annoyed that the teachings of Jesus have been mis-represented.

I have said in a post once if Christianity would remove all the error in the Bible I would highly recommend Christianity.

i haven't said anything of the sort, you have. this is a part of your dishonest representation of science. it's called a scarecrow fallacy. you first create a weak, misrepresented viewpoint and proceed to attack that false view.

you're a fraud.

What does your question have to do with Matthew 28:18?

If Jesus has been give ALL authority why would he allow christians to be killed by people who hate them just based on their religion?

For instance, if he was the omniscient one as you think, he could at least warn the christians about to be ambushed to back off and take another route but that doesn't happen does it?

So you admit that you compared me disagreeing with you about spiritual matters to a 7 year old child with cerebral palsy disagreeing with you. Tell me, is this kind of personal abuse an 'internet' thing for you, or do you say it to people's faces in the 'real' world?

It would not surprise me in the slightest to find he would say that to your face.
