God, trinity, Jesus, hell, original sin, Christianity vs...

Okay, I'll add...

God is the All-Glorious, the All-Powerful, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.

In Latin terminology.. Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent.

Trinity can be explained, in my opinion, by comparing God metaphorically to the Sun and the Manifestations of God, like Jesus Christ, to a Perfect Mirror. You see Jesus, you see God.

Jesus is the Messiah and Prophet of God. I believe Baha'u'llah is His return in the same way that John the Baptist was the return of Elijah.

Hell is remoteness from God... if you don't love God, you're in hell, whether you're in this world or not.

Original sin... I believe God creates everyone good and that people themselves, which includes every ordinary mortal, falls short, that evil is only from man himself, not from his ancestors, not from God. Only good comes from God.

Christianity vs?

No thanks.

"Consort with the followers of all religions in a spirit of friendliness and fellowship." -Baha'u'llah

I believe it goes something like...

sin (original, not, whatever- it all comes down to the same problem)--->

hell (remoteness from God, firey pit, whatever- it all comes down to the same problem)--->

Jesus (we need Him, He saves us)--->

God (we are reunited with Him, and this is what really matters)--->

trinity (or not, basic thing is that we get all kinds of ideas about who this God is that we've been reunited with, and how He's connected to Jesus, our Savior)--->

Christianity (we assemble together, ideally to encourage each other and to learn scripture and share experience, tradition and doctrine; ideally one Body in Christ)...

Unfortunately,
sin (we keep making those pesky mistakes)--->

vs (when we're making those mistakes, we get too focused on our own ideas rather than following Christ, so we start seeing it as us vs. them, rather than us loving/serving them)--->

(Hopefully)
Jesus (intervenes again, reclaims us, and we repent)--->

---> repeat gazillions of moments of sin, then repentence --->

Love slowly perfected, worked out in us




and blah and blah and so forth and so on...
