I have come around to the view that if Christians and Muslims believe in rebirth, it will happen to them. What we believe will happen. And those who do not believe in rebirth, they will not be reborn. So, to some, it's a one-and-done life.
Namaste dear RR,
You note a great knowledge (the bold fonts above). What is seen to exist is true since consciousness is true. Thanks. In newspaper today I read the following:
Justice, it should be noted, in kabbalistic terminology, is compared to what other traditions call karma. That is to say, cosmic justice is the spiritual law that every action, word, or thought revervates throughout the Universe.

And in the newspaper yesterday, a Christian priest, Christopher Mendonca, wrote "Kindness and Encroachment: There's A Difference". He clearly states the problem with missionaries, who endeavour to impose their will. Shri Mendonca says "It is detrimental not to recognise one's own shortcomings and yet preach and impose on others". He states that such efforts are out of selfishness and not out of kindness.
My understanding is that the fundamental teachings are not contradictory but a great proportion of christians and muslims see the world with rajasic-tamasic goggles.
Regards
Om Namah Shivaya
That which is without letters (parts) is the Fourth, beyond apprehension through ordinary means, the cessation of the phenomenal world, the auspicious and the non-dual. Thus Om is certainly the Self. He who knows thus enters the Self by the Self.
