namaste,
This new thread is inspired by a response of nirotu to one of my comments in a post on another thread (Saga of Ego).
The ravages that we see around us are due to the forceful shoving of ‘my GOD is better’, “I am the only one that knows Grace” or “My GOD is the only true god dispensing true grace” kind of attitude of some men. Due to this intolerance, arrogance and ignorance we see ravages around us.
Yes, Satay. Satan’s functioning ego has created ravages in ways makes the need for turning to grace even more acute!
My point of view is that there can not be a separate entity called Satan who is trying to trick mankind if we are to believe that there is one God.
Either there is only one God (as experienced and verified by many) or there are two Gods, 1. Good God trying to protect us 2. Evil God trying to fool us by tricking us.
So which one is it? Could there be such a power/entity/god as Satan? What would be the point of it and if there is one are we saying that there are two forces at work in the universe and God can not control his twin evil brother?
