The Latter Day Saint concept of revelation includes the belief that revelation from God is available to all those who seek it—provided they submit to the will of God—as opposed to being imparted to certain special individuals (independent of their own actions or desires). The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and some other Latter Day Saint demonimations claim to be led by revelation from God to a living prophet, who receives God’s word just as Abraham, Moses, Peter, and other ancient prophets and apostles did. It also ...

Complete information about the Raelian Movement can be found at www.rael.org Claude Vorilhon claims that he has experienced two extra-terrestrial encounters, which are the foundation of his ideology. These encounters happened after the 1973 energy crisis which led to the forbidding of car racing, and thus provided a lack of subjects for Vorilhon's magazine, cutting his foremost source of income. The first of these encounters was on the evening of December 13, 1973. Whilst walking in Puy de Lassolas, Vorilhon claims to have seen ...

Islamic scholarly tradition is concerned, among other things, with when and where verses and chapters of the Qur'an were revealed to Muhammad, for example whether a verse was revealed while the prophet was in Mecca or Medina. According to Ibn Abbas and others, Al-Fatiha is Meccan; according to Abu Hurairah and others, it is a Madinan sura. The former view is more widely accepted. Some say it was the first complete surah to be revealed[1], coming after the revelation of the beginnings of the sura ...

In December 1974, The New York Times reported that the CIA had conducted illegal domestic activities, including experiments on U.S. citizens, during the 1960s. That report prompted investigations by both the U.S. Congress (in the form of the Church Committee) and a presidential commission (known as the Rockefeller Commission) into the domestic activities of the CIA, the FBI, and intelligence-related agencies of the military. In the summer of 1975, congressional hearings and the Rockefeller Commission report revealed to the publ ...

Some believe that God is non-anthropomorphic, and thus believe the above listed forms of revelation are impossible. Hence they believe God's will is revealed through the interaction of man and God throughout history. For instance, Rabbi Louis Jacobs proposes that by viewing how the Jewish people have understood God's will throughout history, we see how God has actually influenced the development of Jewish law; it is this process that we should recognize as revelation. One part of the Talmud declares rabbinic interpretatio ...

Sacred Revelations: Christ and Krishna

Both Krishna and Christ appeared on earth to help us evolve spiritually. The Supreme, though unborn and undying, reveals itself in human form to help us overcome the illusions of ignorance and self-centredness, of hatred and cruelty, through love and compassion. There are interesting similarities in the life and precepts of Krishna and Christ. Kansa and Herod - one the king of Mathura, the other, of Palestine - were forewarned that they would die at the hands of a child yet to be born. So, they went about slaughtering newborns.

The Argument from Inconsistent Revelations, also known as the Avoiding the Wrong Hell Problem, is an argument against the existence of God. It asserts that it is unlikely that God exists because many theologians and faithful adherents have produced conflicting and mutually exclusive revelations. Since a person not privy to revelation must either accept it or reject it based solely upon the authority of its proponent, and there is no way for a mere mortal to resolve these conflicting claims by investigation, it is prudent to reserve one's judgment. The argument appears, among ot ...

Before Jerusalem Fell is a scholarly work written by Kenneth Gentry as his ThD dissertation in theology from Whitefield Theological Seminary which has since been published as a book. The book presents a sustained argument from fields such as exegesis, ancient history,textual criticism, archaeology and theology for why the Book of Revelation was written before the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70 some time during the reign of Roman emperor Nero. Gentry argues that Nero Caesar is the "sixth king" presently ruling (Rev. 17:10) who funct ...

The Revelation of Arès recalls the roots of monotheism, in order to recreate and dynamise spiritual life, which is thought to be the fundamental task of any prophet. The basic message is that humanity will not gain happiness by any rigid, dogmatic, legalistic, ideological, political, scientific, financial, nationalistic, theological, etc., system, but by simply recreating himself good, becoming once again the positive image and likeliness of the Cr ...
