________________ 120 Shrimad Rajchandra Letter 530 does not appear to have addressed the above points in a suitably. Please do not interpret these statements as dogmatic but simply as an observation. If you have further questions on this matter, then please feel free to ask, and I should be able to explain. Question 14 Christianity states that the Bible is a creation of God; and that Christ is a personification of God, a son of God, and will continue to be so. Answer: One can accept such a statement by faith, but not logically. What I have said above with regards to the Gita and the Vedas also applies to the Bible. The Godly soul that has rid itself of birth and death has no reason to reincarnate, for reincarnation is but the fruit of passions; it seems inconsistent that a divine soul that has overcome such lowly passions would undergo reincarnation. The existence of a son of God can be accepted in an allegorical sense, but to consider it literally seems unacceptable. How can it be said that the liberated Lord has a son? And if we do accept it, then how can we explain its creation? If both are considered eternal, then how can their relationship as father and son be explained? It is worth pondering upon these points. With due diligence, I am sure you shall realise the veracity of these statements. Question 15 All the predictions contained in the Old Testament about Christ have been proved to be right. Answer: Even if that were true, it is worth thinking about both these scriptures.
