Here is a poster I have had for almost 30 years, or so it seems. I've posted a couple of the cartoon panels to illustrate my posts in the past, but I don't believe I've ever actually posted the entire poster, which I am doing now. Neither the poster nor I intend to offend anyone, but simply to testify to the
Truth that is Who not
What. This poster illustrates my saying,
"In this world it should be what you know, not who, that gets you ahead, but it's usually the other way round. In the world to come, it's the opposite, it's not what you know, but Who, that gets you into heaven." That's the truth of Christianity "in a nutshell." It's not about
religion; it's about a
Person. And here's a poster for you that is "comparative
religions in a nutshell."

The bottom left panel appears to be Mohammed pointing at a giant man who is holding his rear and farting, thereby causing a torrential spiral of truth. This sounds like something out of the Koran...
ReplyDeleteThese funnies are true. The origins of Islam, as well as the other philosophies, are much like what that strip portrays.
Yes, the story goes that Muhammad was visited by an angel named Jibra’il who was extremely tall, feet on the ground, head in the sky sort of thing, and that this being gave him the Qur'an bit by bit.
ReplyDeleteFunny how false prophets hype about angels coming to them. Joseph Smith Jr, the American "prophet" had an angel too, only normal size, who showed him where the "gold plates" were buried.
But the holy apostle speaks prophetically when he writes, "αλλα και εαν ημεις η αγγελος εξ ουρανου ευαγγελισηται [υμιν] παρ ο ευηγγελισαμεθα υμιν αναθεμα εστω, ως προειρηκαμεν και αρτι παλιν λεγω ει τις υμας ευαγγελιζεται παρ ο παρελαβετε αναθεμα εστω" Even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!
The vedanta sages and the buddha were doing the best they could to find out the Truth, but they lived before He would appear in human form, and for all we know, when He preached to them in Hades, they could have been saved. As for those who have littered the spiritual highway with corpses as a result of their lies, as Paul writes, "let them be anáthema, eternally condemned." I am only repeating what I have heard, without adding anything or omitting anything either.
Sincere thanks for this– I, too, have carried this poster around for a long, long time. Thanks for making it available digitally!
