"There are many paths even in Christianity, Islam and other faiths."
Previously you stated Christ was influenced by budda. Your statement above contradicts what Christ specifically teaches.There is but one path and all others lead to destruction as stated below. Belief in Christ is the only way. Matthew 7:13-16 states - 13“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. 14“For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it. 15“Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16“You will know them by their fruits..... |

Not splitting hairs between denominations. Though I don't agree with certain other denominations teachings that does not preclude someone from being a brother or sister in Christ.
It was the reference to Islam and other faiths that I was keying off of as being paths. |

An interesting thing about Buddhism is the 8 fold path. One only needs to try it and they will discover, the truth of the secession, of suffering. there doesn't need to be verses cited nor evangelistic action, just try it and there you are.

Jesus proved that He is God by His miracles and then proved He is God and has the power to give you eternal life - by rising from the dead, Himself - with hundreds of witnesses to testify. Buddha? Dead. Jesus only asks for faith alone in Him alone. He then indwells you with His Holy Spirit and empowers you to live righteously as a response to the eternal life He has given you - eternal life the you begin to experience now. Sorry, but I see no comparison between what Jesus Christ offers and promises and what one of His creations tried to do as a replacement for true peace, joy, love, self-control (Eph. 5:22-23) and eternal life. Try it and you'll never go back. It's all in His word -the Bible. And, as He said - He's the only way, the only truth and the only life (John 14:6).

how can Buddhism be a "replacement" for the teachings of Christianity if Buddhism predates Christianity by a few hundred years, how can you replace something that does not exist yet?

Many beliefs, many paths, same destination. Some religions are like a Spirituality for Dummies textbook. Others ways let you enjoy the ride!
Edit: know its not the same belief....but miss being able to buy flowers from robed disciples at the airport. It was so comforting before a long flight.

It is was a response to bills earlier post that said Buddha was created by Jesus and tried to replace the teachings of Christianity. Buddha predates Jesus so he could not have been attempting to replace something that did not exist.

Besides, Christians were pretty late in the whole resurrection story business. The Canaanites, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Animists, Shintoists all had resurrection stories long before Jesus's followers wrote theirs down. So you can talk about the resurrection until you're blue in the face but only other Christians will care. The rest of us, if we're polite, just smile and nod. If we believed every resurrection story ever told, we'd have a confusing mess of ideas, indeed. |

If you're wrong your logic is NOT sound. This is literally playing with fire.

Ah, pascal's wager. I never found that philosophical argument for the belif in a Christian God convincing. What if we are both wrong and the Hindus are correct. If that's the case we are both playing with fire.

There is a common string through the teaching of most religions. The common thread is the heart of men, that has never changed. The fight of good vs evil. The different religions treat that differently but it is the common thread for discussion.

It's only my job to give you the Gospel. I can't convince you. The Gospel and the Spirit do the convincing. Whoever is right, that would still mean there is only one path. Not many.

Ooh! I love playing with fire! Once you learn about it, it isn't nearly as dangerous as your parents taught you when you were two. You find out how to use it safely and do some pretty cool stuff. Like shoot guns, for example!
Wait, what were we talking about? I'm sure there's a parallel in that metaphor but I lost it thinking about playing with fire. |
