何谓宗教？请指教。

謙益

宗教的起源

早在原始社会宗教就已经存在，它产生的根源和基础在于生产力发展水平低下，以及原始人对自然斗争力量的软弱。那时，宗教规范往往成为人们共同遵守的社会规范。

宗教与信仰

有些观点认为，某个民族只信仰某个宗教。而从考古学的发现上得出的结论是，信仰不是天生的，是可以改变的。民族、宗教和文化既有联系，又有区别。

謙益

基督教

基督教有兩個意思:


１．　（廣義）所有相信主耶穌基督為救主的教會，包括了天主教、東正教、基督新教，以及被視為異端的摩門教、耶和華見證人。

２．　（狹義）基督新教，包括了普世聖公宗、信義宗、抗羅宗、循道衛理堂、靈恩派、基要派和福音派。

基督教和猶太教不同的地方，在於他們相信耶穌基督就是舊約聖經預言的彌賽亞(即“救世主”的意思)，藉著被釘死於十字架上，成為我們給上帝的獻祭，並與上帝訂立救贖的新約。我們稱呼這個救贖為“因信稱義”，就是說，只要我們接納了基督代我們承受了罪的結果，並在口裡承認，我們就跟上帝立了約，從而得到赦免及救贖。而這一份跟上帝立的新約，不再只限於被選中的猶太人，更包括普世的外邦人。

不相信耶穌基督是救主的猶太教徒，則繼續遵守古老先知摩西流傳下來的律法，不斷為自己的罪而作各種各樣的獻祭。

哦，是上帝的聖經証明了耶穌復活呀．．．

yes. you can't deny the Bible has it valid standing in history. the four gospel is written not more than 4 decades after the resurrection of Jesus, a period which is too short for a legendary to start, as most of the witnesses still alive...

‘The New Testament was written a long time ago. How do we know that what they wrote down has not been changed over the years?’

The answer is that we do know, very accurately through the science of textual criticism, what the New Testament writers wrote. Essentially the more texts we have, the less doubt there is about the original. The late Professor F. F. Bruce (who was Rylands professor of biblical criticism and exegesis at the University of Man­chester) shows in his book Are the New Testament Docu­ments Reliable? how wealthy the New Testament is in manuscript attestation by comparing the texts with other historical works.

The table below summarises the facts and shows the extent of the New Testament evidence.
Work              When written     Earliest copy   Time span (yrs)   No. of copies
Herodotus         488-428 BC       AD 900          1,300             8
Thucydides        460-400 BC       AD 900          1,300             8
Tacitus           AD 100           1100            1,000             20
Caesar’s         58-50 BC         AD 900          950               9-10
Gallic War
Livy’s Roman     59BC-AD 17       AD 900          900               20
History
New Testament     AD 40-100        AD 130(full     300               5,000+ Greek
                                   manuscripts                       10,000 Latin
                                   AD 350)                           9,300 others

Many theories have been put forward to explain the fact that Jesus’ body was absent from the tomb on the first Easter Day, but none of them is very convincing.

Jesus had undergone a Roman flogging, under which many had died. He had been nailed to a cross for six hours. Could a man in this condition push away a stone weighing probably a ton and a half? The soldiers were clearly convinced that he was dead or they would not have taken his body down. If they had allowed a pris­oner to escape, they would have been liable to the death penalty.

Furthermore, when the soldiers discovered that Jesus was already dead, ‘one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water’ (John 19:34). This appears to be the separation of clot and serum which we know today is strong medical evidence that Jesus was dead. John did not write it for that reason; he would not have possessed that know­ledge, which makes it even more powerful evidence that Jesus was indeed dead.

Secondly, it has been argued that the disciples stole the body. Some have suggested that the disciples stole the body and began a rumour that Jesus had risen from the dead. Leaving aside the fact that the tomb was guarded, this theory is psychologically improbable. The disciples were depressed and disillusioned at the time of Jesus’ death. It would have needed something extra­ordinary to transform the Apostle Peter into the man who preached at Pentecost when 3,000 people were converted.

In addition, when one considered how much they had to suffer for what they believed (floggings, torture, and for some even death), it seems inconceivable that they would be prepared to endure all that for something they knew to be untrue.

Thirdly, some have said that the authorities stole the body. This seems the least probable theory of all. If the authorities had stolen the body, why did they not pro­duce it when they were trying to quash the rumour that Jesus had risen from the dead?

Furthermore, over 550 people saw the risen Jesus. It is possible for one person to hallucinate. Maybe it is possible for two or three people to share the same hallucination(False or distorted perception of objects or events with a compelling sense of their reality, usually resulting from a mental disorder or as a response to a drug). But is it likely that 550 people would all share the same hallucination?

ysneoh同志，
不好意思，请问你可以用华文吗？
我看到这么多拉丁字母，眼花缭乱，看不下去，
不免对您的言论造成不敬。


还有，谦益说得没错。
的确，早在原始人的时代，就有宗教的产生。
这是考古学家通过原始人有进行往生仪式而推论出的。
（如果我的历史常识没错的话……）

我在引文介紹佛教時，是用比較與排除的方式，因為幾個宗教中我對佛教有較深切的體會．

佛教

(引自菩提心，有刪）

佛教中没有必须顺从的万能上帝。佛教否认所谓超人的神力，即万能之神，或第一因的存在，没有神启，没有神的使者或先知者。故尔，一个佛教徒不对任何一个控制其命运、赐予或惩罚的神祗表示恭顺，因为佛教徒不相信神人的天启。佛教不声称自己是真理的独有者，不谴责其它任何宗教。

一个宗教最大的敌人就是不能容纳异己。佛陀以其独特的忍辱之法，教导他的弟子们，即使有人恶语中伤佛陀本人、他的法以及他的僧团，都不要因不满和不快而大发雷霆。佛陀说：“如果这样做的话，你们不但把自己带到精神失落的险境，而且也不能判断他们所说是否正确。”此乃最为开明的胸襟。

佛陀在谴责其它宗教不公正的批评时说：“正如一人仰着脖子朝天吐痰，痰沫污染不了天，反堕其脸，玷污自身。”

佛教中没有祈愿或代祈愿的祷告者。无论一人如何哀求佛陀，他都无法因此而获解脱。对于祈祷之人，佛陀不赐予、也无法赐予世间的偏爱。一个佛教徒不应希冀从祈祷中得到解救，而应依靠自己，精进努力，赢得自己的解脱，获得清净。佛陀劝告他的弟子们不要依靠别人，而要依靠自己，信赖自己。他说：

“汝等须自力，如来唯导师。”佛陀阐述了祈祷的一无所获，强调提高自我训练、自我调伏、自我纯洁、自我觉悟之禅修的重要性，而非祈祷。这些对于意识和心智都有一种营养滋补作用。禅定是佛教的精髓。

謙益前辈，你有没有想过全心了解耶稣这个"宗教”领袖呢?

有人说，“当一个人全心去了解耶稣，他必会俯首冲耶稣，称他为全能得主。。。”

你会挑战这个说法吗？

我絕對相信“当一个人全心去了解耶稣，他必会俯首冲耶稣，称他为全能得主。。。”而且，“什麼事都做得出來”．

我曾經做過．但一次比一次失望．我到過很多教堂，見過許多人用自己的方法解釋聖經，看過許多人用聖經咀咒朋友兄弟．看過如祭拜太陽神一般的狂熱信仰，看過一些人因信耶穌而慶信自己對真理的占有．

差別在愛．基督徒說的愛，與經典上的愛，現實中表現的愛相距太遠（當然，我不是說所有的基督徒）．

像杏林子一般以濟世為重點的基督徒太少．像這網上某人一般靠占據真理過活的人太多，我身邊談得來的基督徒都是對信仰不那麼瘋狂的人．所以，我寜願下基督的地獄，因為我有太多的道德信念，不想放棄．

如果说宗教只一昧＂占据真理＂，
而非＂导人向善＂，
还有意义吗？

这类宗教宣传单张我看太多了。
没有共鸣。
如果看这些单张就能了解宗教的意义，
我干嘛还要在这里问啊？
