Satori, by your remarks you apparantly know even less of Christianity than I do of buddha. But do not feel bad. Even most Christians know very little.
Basic tenet as set by God. No Faith, NO Salvation. This is regardless of how “fuitfull”, “Blessed”, “Kind”, Charitous", or any other nice thing you can peg on a human they are.
Did you somehow miss this? I am a Christian, and you keep ignoring very fundament tenets of Christianity.
Tell me if I am wrong o’Wise Buddha… but you seek as a buddhist to clear your mind correct? Well as a Christian, thoughts should be on God, and the mind NOT cleared! (did you miss that part?)
Salvation is through Christ alone and no other, this is a very big aspect of what Christianity is. Do you require Buddha’s approval prior to gaining enlightenment? Yes or No? As a Christian you do require God’s approval prior to obtaining greater wisdom! Why is this? Because it is stated that if you work and harbor in your own inequity God will refuse you wisdom and instead place a stumbling block before your feet!
You can attack the Bible all you want. Whats the difference between that and me attacking your mind? Here is the difference… a group of people came up with mine… and yours is… well yours!
The bible imparts no wisdom. It is only an instruction guide on how to get it. This will tell you that regardless of what is written in the book after you obtain wisdom you no longer require its words! Otherwise after all that the Bible simply makes a great reference book.
The reason that I consider the Bible as truth is because of its history and because of its prophecy. You guys have not a clue that 5 trumpets of Revelations has happned.
When Christ was asked what prophecy was all about and He said it was for proof… that one might see and believe.
When a religions prophecies are coming true… I take heed. Now there have been some rants about Islams prophecies coming true as well… but I have trouble finding good resources on theirs to know for sure.
I have not ready any other prophecies but I am surely interested in knowing them if you have any available.
