"There is a way that seems Godly to a man, but the end thereof is death"

Lets make an exemplary comparison:

The Wisdom of Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, India.

He was assassinated on January 30, 1948

To this day Mahatma Gandhi remains dead.

To His Credit: No miracles, No spiritual attributes, No heavenly manifestations.

Mahatma Gandhi is remembered as a symbol, one of peace.



The Wisdom of Jesus, the Christ

Jesus was born between 6 and 4 BC, in Bethlehem, Israel.

The bible, being the book of History of the Jews, depicts His life and His interactions with His people.

He was crucified on the cross and His crime was being the King of the Jews and the Savior of the world.

Jesus died and was buried, and on the 3rd day He rose from His grave and witnesses reported it.

To this day Jesus remains alive and sits at the right hand of the father.

Jesus is remembered today as the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, and the Lamb of God, the Prince of Peace, the Messiah, the Christ. He is also known as the Lion of Judah, the Rose of Sharon, the first and the last, the Alpha and Omega, The I AM, and the beginning and the end.

Jesus walked the walk, and talked the talk. He walked more than He talked, and when He did talk His word raised the dead, healed the sick, calmed the seas, fed the multitudes, and shut the mouths of fools professing to be wise.

Jesus will return to gather His elect.

He had an anointing, or unction from the Holy Spirit
Paul had a purpose for making that comparison, it was to show that Jesus, born from above, had everlasting life to give mankind, and Adam who exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for the Glory of corruptible lust, brought sin and death to mankind. To this day, Adam is still dead. Jesus remains the Lord of Lords and King of kings.

"I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." Mahatma Gandhi

" The Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher's knife. They should have thrown themselves into the sea from cliffs. As it is, they succumbed anyway in their millions."
Mahatma Gandhi

Mr.Gandhi was pagan. He will meet God at the judgement.

and so will those that follow him. No one says you "HAVE" to like Christians. Every man is without excuse, you can go to God direct the way Abraham did, and overcome this world. It's up to you, not those you judge.

The world studies, learns, and follows people like Gandi not realizing they're eating from the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, the death producing fruit. The fact that he died, is evidence of his futility. Jesus was not a way shower, Jesus is the way. Jesus was not a truth sayer, Jesus is the Truth. Jesus was not a Life saver. Jesus is the Life. There is only one way to the Father and that is through the cross. That is the only true significant purpose for living, to get to the other side. Everything else in this life is completely insignificant in comparison.

God is sovereign! He uses unbelievers as well to accomplish His purposes. One purpose _ in India _ during Gandhi's life _ may have been peace along with justice.

Our purpose in life is to be reconciled to God through Christ. But also, to know the difference between "Good and Evil" as God purposed putting the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden.
God's knowledge of good and righteousness has permeated the world; a necessary and foundational element needed to restrain evil.
In history, Gandhi's work assisted in God's overall preparation to spread the Gospel indirectly (likely for others on His list ... or even him?) and to balance good and evil.
Now I did not know if Gandhi, in His last moments of life, believed in Jesus' sacrifice? He seemed to agree with him.

My mother was a rebel all her life, resisting, rejecting the blood of Christ, believing in her own spiritual smorgasbord of beliefs: Reincarnation, astrology, aliens, an earned salvation that she thought she had. I prayed and chipped away at these false beliefs of hers for 30 years and began to lose hope towards her final years that she would ever see the LIGHT. Believe me, Gandhi would have been more reasonable than her. But in her last few days before death, something happened. I called her on the phone and she said Jesus had His hand on her shoulder, has always been there for her and she started singing about His love to my granddaughter and daughter who were also present. We were shocked. She had an epiphany, God lifted her veil and revealed Himself to her in her last days.
We do not know, and may be surprised, that Gandhi may have had such an experience - that was personal maybe and/or never witnessed? Maybe one person did and did not reveal this due to their Hindu faith , wanting him to be remembered as Hindu?

Our purpose in life comes after reconciliation. First we must be born again, or born from above, then we receive power through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and then our purpose; to express the righteousness of God to the entire creation through His Gospel.

As to good and evil: We don't operate from good and evil, we no longer eat of that fruit, but rather from Faith, and the fruits of the Holy Spirit. "...Abraham's faith was reckoned unto him as righteousness". "only the righteous enter the kingdom", not those that know the difference between good and evil, but those who not only talk God's word, but who walk in God's word.

So you think your life before you were saved had absolutely no purpose? You seem to dismiss the Sovereignty of God, who has purpose for everyone and everything - that he knows before we are born. Didn't Pharoah or Nebuchadnezzar have purpose? Judas had purpose too. Satan and His demons have a purpose. The coming Antichrist will have one too ... and so did Gandhi.
Good and evil have been woven throughout history like an elaborately designed tapestry. Some will be saved and some lost. And God knew it had to be so. He grieved when He destroyed the world the first time around, but it had to be so. He has purposed evil to play a part.
Isaiah 45:7 says, I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.
Other translations of evil: calamities, troubles, disaster, doom, woe.

Some Christians are so unlike our Christ.
They also eating from the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, so they are blind to the word of God.
The road is narrow. Only the word of God led us to the way of life though Jesus Christ.

Before I was saved I WAS CONDEMNED TO DEATH, I could not save myself, and neither could you, WHAT PURPOSE IS THERE IN THAT?

No you weren't, God had a plan for you. He has foreknowledge, knowledge of tue future. You are written in the Book of Life until he blots you out - he did not. His plan to save His sheep is foolproof.
My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. 30 I and My Father are one.” John 10 :29-31
My mom wasn't saved until days before her death - but that was His plan all along, he prepared her, though allowed her to rebel, resist for a lifetime since she was a child, His grace protected her, a sheep on His list, prepared before she was born.
If you were already condemned, that would mean you were reprobate, that He let tou go, blotted you out, judged you already. ( Rom. 1:18-32).
"There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus ..." is a future judgment. It is in our perspective that we have passed from death to life, but that is not God's foreknowledge. Since we do not know the future yes, we are to think that death is lingering over our heads.
When we're you saved, at what age? So don't you think God prepared for your salvation, guiding you, teaching you lessons, sending people to witness and minister to you? It was an elaborate plan that brought you to that divine appointment, it was His purpose and intention - so yes you did have a purpose, to be reconciled to God through Christ - before you were born.

The Wisdom of Mahatma Gandhi - What does God say?


God says home boy Gandhi was blinded by devils causing him to reject Jesus as his Lord and Savior and sadly Gandhi is burning in hell right now with all his followers.

It's a cautionary tale about what NOT to do!



To His Credit: No miracles, No spiritual attributes, No heavenly manifestations.

Just because someone does "miracles" does not mean they are of God... we see demons doing "miracles" in scripture but they were not of God and the "miracles" were not done thru the power of the Lord either.



What made you compare these two?

Lots of folks out in the world think Gandhi is one of many ways unto salvation



What made Paul compare Adam to Jesus?

Paul was in no way claiming Adam was the or a way unto salvation like some are claiming concerning Gandhi



"There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus ..."

FAKE quote.

Here's the actual quote from what God said in His Word...

Romans 8:1
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.


No condemnation is ONLY applicable to those who walk after the Spirit... it's a trick of satan to remove things from God's Word to make it seem as though God's Word is saying things it does not actually say.

This is why make of the newer translations remove the part that says "who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit" to make it appear that the false doctrines of OSAS are true when OSAS is actually doctrines of devils

God doesn't "LEAD" you to hell. Those that are going to hell are going there because they're rebellion towards God is "THERE CHOICE". Jesus forgave every human being on this earth, including the two on the crosses with him, one didn't make it to Paradise, that was not providence, that was choice.

Didn 't say that. Satan does that, when God gives them over, let's them go. I Saif God leads His sheep prior to their salvation.
Jesus forgave every human being on this earth
No He did not! You do notnunderstand the Doctrine of Election. We are chosen by God. He chose us first. We cannot remove the spiritual veil of blindness to see. He enables us to see so that then we say yes.Faith comes by the Word.
THERE CHOICE"
Their choice? God, through many life experiences, lessons taught, draws the individual to Himself through and by His Word.

No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:44

You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, ... John 15:16


Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; before you were born, I sanctified you; and I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” Jer. 1:5


... chew on that one for awhile!

Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. ROM. 8:30


Where In that sequence was your choice? We are justified by faith, that happens after He predestined us and sometime in our lives, as part of His plan and preparation He calls - then you answer yes, Lord. HE CHOSE YOU FIRST.
