Analysing God in Flesh Concept

Analysing God in Flesh Concept

 

Bible says that Jesus is the God in flesh, but Gita says for a Hindu,

That Krishna is the God in flesh, let us analyse both these views?

I am not touching Buddhism and Islam in this topic because Islam believes

That Mohammad is not God in flesh and He was only messenger of God.

Buddhism keeps silent on the God and no question of God in flesh for them.

If the Bible told that Krishna was not God in flesh or if Gita told that

Jesus was not God in flesh, then both Bible and Gita are valid.

When the scriptures does not mention like this in complete version

How can you interpret your own scripture in the other way?

More over all of you whether Christians or Hindus have to accept

The concept of one God, there is no other alternative way in this.

You say that your God created this entire world and Hindus say that

Their God created this same entire world, unfortunately my dear friends!

I do not find two worlds and I find only one world! Now tell me

 

Whether this single entire world is created by Christian God or Hindu God?

One of you or both should be wrong and in that case who is wrong?

Either you should have two separate worlds or you should have single God.

If both the scriptures are wrong and both Gods did not create this Universe

Then the vote goes to Science, which says that the world exists by itself.

They say that no body created this world and it is self-existent.

Since both are sacred scriptures, let us solve this problem by analysis.

If you are rigid of your own scripture, I am not touching you at all.

If one is rigid where is the place for logical analysis and judgement?

In the court if one party says that what ever it says is the only truth

What is the necessity of the court, advocates, arguments and judgement?

If you leave rigidity and become flexible to accept the truth

After analysis only, you are most welcome to my Universal Spirituality.

 

Even in the small worldly matters, we apply open mind and analysis,

I wonder why you are not applying the same open mind and analysis

In such most important spiritual knowledge which decides everything.

The word Jesus stands for Human Incarnation and similarly the word Krishna.

In scriptures, we have to take the internal meanings and not simple external

Meanings for the sacred words, each word is ocean of divine knowledge.

Bible says that the lamb will come in red robe, here what is the meaning

For the word lamb? Is it simple animal with four legs and one tail.

Does this mean that Jesus will come again as animal? Here you say

That the word lamb stands for the Lord who is pure and innocent

Like the lamb, at one place you take the inner meaning and at other place

You take the external meaning! Therefore, the word Jesus means God in flesh,

Which means that the Lord comes in human form with blood and flesh.

 

This is a great concept, which Jesus tried to establish to the devotees.

Till then the Islam believed only in the formless God called Allah.

Islam does not treat Mohammad as God in flesh even today.

Jesus told that He and His father are one and the same, what does this mean?

Here the word father does not mean Joseph, the husband of His mother Mary.

If you take the meaning of the word of father in the external sense only

It is impossible because two human beings cannot be one and the same.

That Creator is indicated by the word father and human incarnation by the word Jesus

Both are one and the same since God pervaded all over the human incarnation.

If you take the meaning of the word Jesus as a particular human body only,

Then the meaning of the word father should also mean another particular human body.

In that case both the human bodies cannot be one and the same because

We are seeing the father and the son represented by two separate human bodies.

Similarly Jesus told that one could reach His father only through Him.

 

This again should mean that nobody could see or meet Joseph without Jesus.

But it is not so because several people have seen Joseph even before Jesus was born.

You are taking the inner meaning for the word father and say that father means God.

But for the word Jesus you are taking a particular human body only.

This is not justified and even a child will contradict this different approach.

When it is said that Jesus will baptise by fire, does it mean Jesus will sprinkle fire?

In such case the baptized person will be burnt with fire, therefore, the word fire

Means Knowledge as said in Gita “Jnanaagnih”, moreover if you stick the word

Jesus to a particular human body only and if you say that Jesus exists even now,

Please show Me Jesus as the same human body to My eyes also, in the past

When Jesus was alive everyone could show Jesus as human body to anyone.

Whether a believer or a non-believer saw Jesus as human body in the past.
