According to christian beliefs, where's Gandhi now?

[Aemilius Paulus]

Neither the words "belief" nor "salvation" are contained in that statement.

Yeah, and if the Bible was that obvious as you expect it to be in this case, then it would be a technical manual or a SparkNotes/CliffsNotes (tm) book...



Y’know, I never doubted why all the greatest of the philosophers/prophets never wrote down their beliefs - Socrates, Jesus, Buddha, Lao Tzu (according to the story, he never wanted to write anything and when leaving the Middle Kingdom for ever, before his death, border guard persuaded Lao Tzu, after a long argument, that he should leave behind a written work; so Lao Tzu did, writing a single page.)

It is because it is easier, more convenient, more popular, more efficient to leave the text as ambiguous as possible to allow multiple interpretations without watering and stripping down the message overmuch. Pick n’ choose as well as ‘my own interpretation’ is what creates and sustains the countless Christian denominations. It has let centuries of ‘believers’ to accommodate all sorts of rubbish with their ‘faith’.

This is one of the few areas where Islam is clearly superior. Islam is not ambiguous. It was also written by its founding prophet. Mohammed himself noted the same two propensities I observed, and he spoke against them, eventually writing down the Quaran, a book almost as good as the Hammurabi’s Code, in the sense that it was as lucid and coherent as it could possibly be.

He, Mohammed, also managed to write much more than a simple lawbook, and he himself insisted that the only miracle Allah has shown through him was the writing of Quaran - how could I, a poorly-literate Mohammed write such a spring of wisdom, stele of beauty and elegance - he said (I paraphrased - forgot his exact quote)??
(I will overlook the opinions of the great many landmark Western writers that Quaran is jumbled and incomprehensible, even in its original - and Quaran is rarely translated, as translations fail miserably with it)
