Christianity hasn’t risen high enough to say that God has been revealed at all. I note the following issues leaving it inadequate as a religion, as if God paid only partial attention. The following is just a list I threw together in a half hour. I’ve got a lot more to say here.
1. The God of the Old Testament supports war, backing the side that pleases Him. Instead one can reason that the Creator of all souls, would want all to dwell in harmony, expecting them to use intellectual power to achieve this, offering guidance if necessary.
2. From a spiritual perspective there’s no justification for sacrifices except bloodlust. Why would the Creator of All, be pleased to see some creatures sacrificing others?
3. Despite repeated miracles from Moses, the children of Israel just grumble and complain. It’s an early proof no miracle satisfies humans long, seen today in computers.
4. The Christians admit prophets came in ancient days, but have illegalized it today. This obviously places them in a position cut off from God’s advice, if He needed to give any.
5. No Christian ever says they wish Jesus could have lived longer, to say more. It’s a proof the Christians do not truly love the Lord, as they claim, but are selfishly motivated.
6. The Bible gives only the instruction to “be fruitful and multiply,” utterly ignoring exponential growth and its consequences, that today put the whole planet into jeopardy.
7. The Ten Commandments mostly reflect human laws, the decisions of selfish parties to protect their interests. No Christian wishes God had revealed more laws, to prevent sin.
8. There’s no direct trace between Paul’s claim to Heaven after one lifetime, to anything that Jesus said. The religion could be called Paulianity, lacking the Lord’s direct blessing.
9. The Bible never mentions God’s real miracles, an awesome human body and a fantastic planet, as if it is known humans would take these for granted, asking for more.
10. The Bible offers no spiritual disciplines for inner purification, in case someone really wanted to render his mind more pure to please God, and not follow selfish aims while expecting Jesus to come and do the work. It’s a major deficiency compared to Hinduism.
11. The God of the Bible appears weak and unaware, not to see the other religions arising in the world and explain them properly. The scene is raw competition between them all.
12. The Bible offers no clear teaching on the soul, what it is, how it is made, or how long it endures. It has no teachings on the nature of the mind, its impurities, or how to purify it.
13. The Bible offers no clear teachings on what Heaven is, what the angels are like, how angelic society differs from human society from their greater capacities, or what the Lord might expect in a good companion. Jesus said the way is difficult, leaving a question mark.
14. The Bible offers no explanations for the source of human contentiousness, or advice on how to overcome it and dwell in harmony. There isn’t even specific help for quarrels.
15. Self-sacrifice is poignant, but not a power. Jesus may only have proved God wants to save the world, not that He has the power to do it.
16. Faith is not demonstrably different from opinion. It’s a shallow function of the mind. It seems the Creator would more likely base salvation on the total soul, than on opinion.
17. There’s been no integration of the Earth’s age into Christian thought. It’s now been revealed by science that the real God made the planet over vast time, but the Christians persist in believing planets can be made in a finger-snap, after they dispose of this one.
18. There’s immense unclarity in Christian thought, whether Heaven is material or immaterial, and whether the soul is material or immaterial. The thinking is similar to the New Age in many ways, as they speak of “body-mind,” not seeing the soul as separable.
19. The lineage of the Lord and prophets is still considered critical, when it should be obvious if God is going to take on a human body, He can be born anywhere He so deigns. Practically this amounts to failure to accept the basic Christian doctrine, that Jesus is Lord. If He is Lord, that is to say God in a body, then He has no physical ties. So it can be shown Christians do not truly believe God can take on a body, whatever their liturgy says.
20. The Bible fails to account for advanced regions of consciousness some are entering, that allow discourse to individuals at first glance seeming comparable to the Lord. I speak specifically of samadhi or enlightenment, as other religions teach, and where
examples are seen.
21. Although Jesus said to love the neighbor as oneself, we do not know if God favors universal healthcare, a society that spreads a net to protect the poor, or is even against war.
22. The Bible is disturbingly violent, as if torn from a lion’s den. Infidelity, murder, and other heinous acts abound. How can a real God watch all this, and give no advice about it? What we really want to know, is what the perfectly functional society would look like.
23. There’s something deeply wrong, that Jesus only spoke in parables when writing implements were available. The Lord could have flooded the globe with discourse about divine truths, but chose to mumble vaguely instead. Men were not accepted as intelligent.
24. Jesus is known more for where He failed, than for what He accomplished. It disproves the miracles when you note these would at best be mere magic tricks compared to the weighty requirements of guiding a planet. We have pollution, overpopulation, and resource squandering Jesus did nothing to prevent, while supposedly “walking on water.”
25. Despite warning followers not to believe others claiming to be Him, Jesus left no criteria for how to identify when it was really Him. The disciples also did not list how they “magically knew” it was the Lord calling them, nor how others could recognize Him. Besides speaking authoritatively, we’re given no description how the Lord is different. Had Jesus or the disciples revealed these things, no pretenders could’ve arisen.
