Chris , love is good.
And even when the Pope visited India recently to preach to the Indians of Jesus Christ being the one and only Son of God they tried to show him courtesy and respect .
But in the end ,very many Indians became irritated with this old man in his expensive robes and pontificating doctrine.
For to the people of India , Christianity is considered a young offspring and a later version of their own great teachings .
Though a Hindu realizes a Universality of God , they do not accept the sovereignty of Christianity, or their path of righteousness.... for it was they who invented it . It was there that the first Christ appeared , called Krishna. For in India Chris , they were worshipping Christ almost 2000yrs before Emperor Constantine converted Rome in 300AD.
Krishna , who was the Christ , appears nearly 1000 years before Lord Buddha ...
Solon has already posted of this here . Message 14976091
Lord Buddha performed every "miracle" you attribute to Jesus , who gently taught for over forty years so insightfully , clearly , conclusively the doctrine of liberation righteous living. He taught everyone equally, to man woman , the sick & poor, to the priests & monks, and the most very wise and powerful , to even Kings and Princes who sought out his wisdom .
Every distillation of every beautitude you could gleen from the old and new Testaments of the tribe of Israel , and the procession of endless centuries of Christian scholarship that ensued , still doesn't even scratch the surface of the depth of the truths that were given from Buddha's lips in that one life span that lasted for over 80years.
This was not a life and teaching of one who just suddenly appears mysteriously near Gallilea at 30 yrs old called Jesus who gets baptized teaches for only 3 years , and is crucified. ....
Lord Buddha lived and taught in one of the world's most advanced and flourishing culture's at the time ... and lived for over 80yrs. Almost every important word and divine religious concept that you find in Christianity , comes directly from their language and the teachings of their great saints and sages.
Buddha was teaching Enlightenment, when the civilization we know as Greece was just starting to flourish . And when Moses was still wandering lost in the desert and 1/2 his tribe were still worshipping and sacrificing animals....
