(It applies to any other religious holy book.....it can be Baghvat Gita or Quran etc etc)
I never thought of it this way, but its an eye opener.
Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?
What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we flipped through it several times a day?
What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
What if we gave it to Kids as gifts?
What if we us ed it when we traveled?
What if we used it in case of emergency?
This is something to make you go....hmm...where is my Bible?
Oh, and one more thing.
Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Bible being
disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill.
Makes you stop and think 'where are my priorities?

Very useful thought but very hard to implement in our lives. Jesus died for us but still we are sinning everyday without considering his such a valuable sacrifice for us.

Jesus died for us, Ha ha ha ha.."Only begotten son of god" but why only he why not others........What about others like contemporaries of his times
And when he was dying, he asked god "Have you forsaken me?"
With lots of disgust on his face for all the believe and faith he had on god. An enlightened man never curse a fig tree for not giving fruits in off season.This looks unjust, absolutely unjust
AND my dear Jesus never died on the cross. It takes at least forty-eight hours for a person to die on the Jewish cross; and there have been known cases where people have existed almost six days on the cross without dying. Because Jesus was taken down from the cross after only six hours, there is no possibility of his dying on the cross.
The arrangement was that Jesus would be crucified late in the afternoon, so before sunset he would be brought down. He might have been unconscious because so much blood had flowed out of the body, but he was not dead. Then he would be kept in a cave, and before the Sabbath ended and the Jews hung him again, his body would be stolen by his followers
Once he said that those who would not believe in him and the kingdom of God would be thrown into the fires of hell, the eternal fires of hell, and they would not be able to come back. Only the Christian hell is eternal. Every other hell is just a temporary punishment: you go there, you suffer, you come back. But Jesus' hell is eternal.

Dear Ashish
i totally agree with your point.....even i thought about it before posting it.....but here the post itself is not going deep into any religion as your feedback does.....its again just to make people including me to think for a while where we stand religiously.....again it depends on individuals who can take it in a humorous side also....

Mr. Ashish if for u this is a social platform then why you wrote such a long bhashan on our religion?
and
Its none of your business to judge whatever happened with Jesus because you were not present at that time, right???
And This post is not on religion. Read is properly.

As Monicka has already mentioned it applies to any other religious book, I don't think so it propagates any particular religion per se.
Even I faced when I posted a PPT and some members took objection on the last slide where a Christian society was mentioned and accused me of propagation.
Being a Hindu why do I do that. We need to learn to respect all religions.
May be Monicka can edit the post by mentioning religious books in place of Bible and GOD instead of Jesus so that un necessary comments can be avoided.

The desire to respect is not a good desire; it is a wrong desire, and if you follow it your whole life will become a desert. Ask how to love religion,people, not respect. Respect is ugly, love is beautiful. And there is a world of difference. When somebody loves you, he is not humiliated; he stands equal to you. When you ask for respect that means you are higher, holier, and he is lower, a sinner. Never ask for respect.
Fell in love with Jesus not respect him, when you can love him why to go for formality.
Respect is controllable, and in respect you need not give love. You have just to create certain qualities which people think are respectable. You have to be true to your word and people will respect you. You have to be consistent in your character and people will respect you. You have to be dependable and people will respect you. In short, you have to be predictable and people will respect you. Now these things you can do on your own; you need not get involved with anybody. You can develop your character, you can create an armour around you, you can be very consistent, although consistent people always remain mediocre. But mediocres get respect. The more mediocre a person, the more possibility of getting respect.
Jesus was not respected by people, otherwise why should they crucify him? He was insulted, not respected, because he had no desire to be consistent, he had no desire to be respectable. He was non-calculating, he was uncunning. He simply lived his life lovingly and got into danger, into trouble. He was just thirty-three when he was crucified; he had not even lived his youth, he was just growing. But he lived the life of rebellion. Love is rebellious! Socrates was not respected. He was loved by a few people and hated by many, but not respected. Otherwise why should they have poisoned him?
So simply cancel that desire, kill it in the bud, otherwise you are moving towards becoming a politician. And that’s the distinction I make between politics and religion. A religious person lives his own life. If people feel it is good, they respect him; if they feel it is not good, they disrespect him. But that is no more a consideration; that is their problem. ‘I live my life; now it is your problem whether you respect me or not, whether you love me or not. That is secondary.’ A few people will love you. Don’t be concerned with respect, otherwise you will be too worried about your character, otherwise you will start imbibing qualities, traditional qualities.
