Rebuild the biblical account
Can you state Scripture’s account of Creator, person, suffering, spiritual truth, salvation, and hope from memory?
Transfer the biblical method across very different spiritual worlds.
This checkpoint closes the Dharmic and experiential section. Hinduism, Buddhism, and New Age spirituality do not form one religion, but each presses questions about ultimate reality, selfhood, suffering, spiritual knowledge, transformation, and hope. You must represent each on its own terms, resist superficial parallels, and show why the biblical Creator, incarnate Son, atoning cross, bodily resurrection, and renewed creation provide the true account.
