A question for the Christians.
by BurnTheShips ini think that for christians there are two ways of viewing the religious history of the world.. 1) that god has always tried to reveal himself to all peoples, and that people have understood him imperfectly at different times, until he revealed himself perfectly in his son.
all religions have prophecies that point to similar ideas about god because he has tried to speak to them and they have tried to seek him.
the human spirit is designed to seek certain symbolic ways of representing the divine, and, while god has placed limits on these to avoid us worshipping the representation instead of the reality, common religious rituals and symbolism can be understood by looking at the psychology of the human mind that god created in all of us.. 2) (the basic jw view) that god only ever spoke to moses, jesus, st paul etc.
