Response

We must remember that Yahweh called out an "eastern" people. Jesus was a Nazarene who compassionately and committedly extended his love to his "eastern" neighors. Christianity is seemingly, based on all honest observation, an "eastern" religion. I know modern historians would classify this view of Ultimate Reality otherwise. However, the essence in which Christ, The Word, has called his Disciples to embrace and embody inevitably requires a Transcendence of normative categories of eastern and western thoughts.

It is what it is...TRUTH. It is the Truth that Frees a person from suffering (buddhism), it is the Truth that ends cycles of constant humanly effort to forego another round of life (hinduism), it is the Truth that makes Community of saints finally one without separatism (Islam)...Truth gives Breath, Liberates and Unifies. This is Transcendental.
