What of Theosophy??

<blockquote><hr size=0><!-quote-!><font size=1><b>quote:</b></font><p>Theosophy is a doctrine of religious philosophy and metaphysics originating with Helena Petrovna Blavatsky &#40;1831-1891&#41;. In this context, theosophy holds that all religions are attempts by the &#34;Spiritual Hierarchy&#34; to help humanity in evolving to greater perfection, and that each religion therefore has a portion of the truth. Together with Henry Steel Olcott, William Quan Judge, and others, Blavatsky founded the Theosophical Society in 1875. <BR> <BR><!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote> <BR> <BR><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theosophy" target=_top>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theosophy</a> <BR> <BR>Can one make a case that each religion contributes something to truth??? <BR> <BR>Does that mean that truth lies not in one religion but something &#34;God&#34; is leading us all to.

Re: What of Theosophy??

Elaine, I thought you might jump all over this. Every religion contributing to a better understanding  of the one holy &#34;God&#34;. Isn&#39;t that what you want allowed, each person born in their own society, with his own view of &#34;God&#34; allowed his own way to salvation, or the hereafter??
