What is the most expensive religion?

Scientology

God give me the patience to speak gently.

There is a clear and unmistakable difference between Christianity and every other religion that ever existed: what we believe is real!

"That which is born of flesh is flesh.  That which is born of spirit is spirit."  The difference is utterly simple and utterly undeniable: Christians really are born again!  No one else can say that.  No one.

What happens when a person is 1/3 dead?  Will you awaken that dead third with magic incantations or readings from the Vedas? 

Try all your life and you will find that you have memorized all those lines and still, that third of you that you were supposed to bring alive, is still dead.

Christians are unique in that we asked God to bring that dead third of us alive!  He did!  We can attest to that fact each from a powerful and unmistakable event that changed our very essence, and left no question whatsoever! 

Religion is memorizing words, but faith is to bring that which was dead, alive!

Never underestimate the power of a living spirit!  Your enlivened spirit really does connect to infinity!  It is as real as infinity and just as powerful.

All living things have a will of their own -- that is how you know it is truly alive!  The born-again experience will bring that part of you which was dead, alive, and there is just no way to contain a connection to infinity!

So, you could call the Christian life the most expensive religion that ever was, because it really will take everything you are and change you around -- to someone who is infinitely better and stronger than you could have imagined before.  All of a sudden, you realize that all your wealth means nothing, no matter how much you have or how little.

You cease to be the owner.  You become the steward.  And then, you will be amazed how much you are willing to give, not for a tax write off, but from an awakened human spirit.  You don't just look at the other guy's misery or joy -- you feel it.  You don't just look at the beggar with a cardboard sign and automatically hand him everything in your wallet -- you feel something about him, that he is trying to make an indecent profit from falsely claiming that he is in need.

You may never be able to explain it, but when you come awake spiritually, you don't need to.  It changes you.  It makes you genuinely whole.

The most expensive religion has no provision for sin and no savior the one that gives you salvation by your own works thereby condeming you to eternal hell. For by the law no flesh shall be justified. We are justified soley on the finished work of jesus christ alone. Not of works lest any man should boast. 

Jesus christ is the only name under heaven by which man must and needs to be saved.

Aahhh  one can only hope that you are not equating sacred non-dual Vedantic Mantras with dualistic magic incantations here... since these sacred mantras come directly from the mind of God .. while the later are nothing but creations of the finite mind of man. 

  Clearly you have had some sort of Divine Experience.. however my sense is you have stopped WAY too soon. Might I suggest that a little knowledge can be a very dangerous thing.. especially when the source of that knowledge is processed through the dualistic mind... which is veiled by the impure ego, which yours obviously is.  No one who has ever merged into The Infinite Christ mind would ever make the claims You do... so please consider that there is a lot more to the ONE Christ than your finite mind is currently aware of.  And also that Grace has even more knowledge to bestow on you.. you WILL be amazed.. and incredibly humbled.  Peace.

Let's see now......an adulterer can sue the Bible because it says "Thou shalt not commit adultery" and that makes him feel guilty and troubled.

Great! Now let's see about the other 9 commandments, and don't forget all the other restrictions all through the Bible.

Hey lawyers, here's a gold mine!

The one that denies you the truth and the way to real salvation.

DYK,   Truth is available to all.  It has been offered for thousands of years, by enlightened people who have been eager to share. But, as in your case, it has provoked ill feelings in your heart and mind. 

 Truth can be found, discovered, learned, but it cannot be explained to the satisfaction of some people.  It is better for you if you do your own seeking and finding. I hope we are here to hear you sing the praises of the Ultimate, Absolute Truth when you discover it for yourself.

Ultimate = beyond which further analysis, division, etc. cannot be made;elemental, fundamental; primary.

Absolute = the independent, unrestricted, and perfect Being;God; generally with the; as, the power of the Absolute.

DYK writes:  For starters, do you understand why there are prefixes in place:  Supernatual, paranormal, extraordinary.   (This question is for NJOY and/or Faith, or for anyone else who somehow wishes to believe there is something other than natural)

How does the UN-natural work?  Where does it reside?  How to PROVE it?  If real, wouldn't they all--super, para, extra--be natural?

Are there ANY real differences when considering FANTASY or PRETENSE when they are compared to SUPERnatural, PARAnormal, EXTRAordinary?  Aren't all outside the realm of Natural? 

How can anything REAL be outside the natural realm?
