" Reincarnation is a direct contradiction to the scriptures which state that a man dies only once and then is judged......
.....For Buddha to be used as a tool of satan by promoting this reincarnation jibberish proves that he wasn't enlightened at all but rather lived in total spiritual depravity and darkness and was so far removed from the truth that it's pitiful. "
So Chris what are we going to do with the
all the christians that
call themselves -----> " Born Again...;-)

For one thing Chris , you must understand that Buddha
was not mainly teaching " re-incarnation jibberish ".
his life and teachings were devoted to the restraining
of desires and selfishness , quieting the mind , living
modestly and with compassion , and without dellusion.
A path called the Middle Way , which is in reality
the most difficult path any man or woman can travel.
He may have used re-incarnation in many of his stories
because he wandered and taught for more than 45yrs
around India , where re-incarnation was already an
embedded concept.
He gave many " sermons " ,in many great cities
and wherever he traveled ....and one of the more famous
was called the ----->" Sermon on the Mount" .
More people gathered at the Buddha's feet to
hear one speak on matters of spirituality
, than at any other
time in human history.
The message he came to deliver was timeless and
could have been taught to any , in any land .It
is the message of the truth that is right there
within your own heart , that makes you
part of eternity , as God
intended you to be.
It was a state that he achieved while living
and enduring years of great hardship & extreme
asceticism and denial
al though he was the son of a wealthy King ,
and could have had anything that he desired
of materiality and comfort.
This is hardly what you would call one who was acting
as a tool of satan . Yet that accusation falls easily
from your lips , far too often . It was a state
of living grace he could have taught to any people
in any land , of any age , because it is the truth
within us , our true selves and reality.
You see Chris , It was Buddha that was making the way
for any future " Christ "....and he did say there
would be some who would follow , and become as he had become .
It is a natural process of evolution towards God
and maturity of ourself's spirit while we live .
He taught this and lived simply for over 45yrs ,
until in his 80's
and still teaching right up to the moment
he passed peacfully into --->"That Pure Land "
that follows for one who is enlightened in life.
But it is as I said , the most difficult path
to you'll ever begin .... it is the "razors edge" .
But you go along slowly and steadily , and the light will
start to shine from within, in time .
Your attempt to become a " Christian " is maybe your first step.
I just don't know if it is a step forward
or a step backward in your case. There are Christians
I have heard about , like the Quakers that are
"mindful" & too devoted to seeking the light within,
than to spend time seeking conflict
and condemning the beliefs
of others.
I would call those ---> good Christians.
