- This is in regard to Vijay's neutral prayer to know the identity of Messiah:
- Vijay, I could not let it pass by, although I have no intention to insult
- you. A friend of mine suggested long time ago to believing christians why
- not they pray to God earnestly and ask for wrath on themselves if they are
- lying if Jesus is not God. How about that? How many of our christian friends
- are willing to pray earnestly: "O God of Abraham and Moses, I believe that
- Jesus is God. If I am lying, then bring down the wrath upon myself by killing
- me, so that it becomes an eye-opener for others not to except Jesus as God.
- If, on the other hand, Jesus is indeed God, then let it be known to all
- others that he is God."
- I have a softer one than that which my christian friends can try without
- invoking wrath upon themselves if they were lying as to godship of Jesus.
- This is by earnestly praying: "O God of Abraham and Moses, if Jesus is truly
- not God, then let me live and repent and come to the truth by abandoning
- Christianity."
- Let my christian friends do anyone of the above two prayers, I am
- sure he will get the answer. Don't forget to announce your intention to
- other folks and do it earnestly for several hours. How about that?
-
- Again, I don't intend to belittle my christian friends. I thought this is
- indeed a logical way to go for christians if they believe too strongly about
- the divinity of Jesus. (To this date, I have not found a single volunteer
- to take up the first challenge, the second was taken by one Portuguese-
- American student, who now abandoned christinity.)
-
- Best wishes with your prayers.
