Eastern religion is based on following a moral code.

Abrahamian is Jewish, Muslim, and Christian.

Remember that all Christians were Jews until ~ 300 AD

Or rather that MOST were.

300?

Christianity was identified as a Jewish sect by the Romans.

Wasnt that the Spartans

I think Im slowing down

True, but "THE LAW" can not be followed. To many "Rules and Regulations".

Now I am paraphrasing here, so cut me some slack.

The laws were instituted to prove, to show man, that he could NOT get to Heaven by following a set of rules. For if you break one law you have in effect broken all of them.

Christ, by his coming and death after leading a sinless life is the only way to Heaven, by believing in Him as the Son of God.

This gets to the core of my beliefs. I believe that we are children of God. He is the literal father of our spirits. Our purpose is to become as He is. to grow into the spiritual beings that He is. We come here to decide what we want. We need to choose for ourselves between good and evil. In the course of our learning, we all inevitably choose wrong. Once we have chosen wrong--even just once-- we are not nor can we of ourselves be made perfect. THAT requires the intercession of one without sin. In other words, my finite imperfections must be swallowed up in someone else's infinite perfection if I am to be pronounced clean and rise above the sum of my mistakes and transgressions.
