Confusion on religions Hello wayfarer.
I found your posits quite interesting. My previous post was to tim wood so I hope there was not confusion. I don't agree however that Jesus was a divine illumination because the adjective "divine" could be construed as god like to which end I'm not entirely sure why that would be considered blasphemy. You summarized my point exactly [quote="Wayfarer;294681".
]Within the Eastern traditions, there is also a kind of universalist view, within which holy figures, even supremely holy figures, such as the Buddha, are a type or a kind, rather than a totally unique individual. Or, in Hinduism, there is the understanding that God or the gods manifest in various forms or 'avatars' (incarnations, and the origin of the term 'avatar'.)[/quote]
Isn't God or a higher power etc. universal and why would that power exclude any type of following?
