designed to avoid personal responsibility to a personal God for all the sins we have committed in our lives.
I will always respect your right to choose
to believe in a personal Savior , Greg, or your
Religion,s thoughts on Sin and debts
and afterlife judgement (egyptian)
But as a "Christian" interested in peace ,
how can you make the statement concerning
the life and teachings of Buddha:
Since Guata, claimed nauta, compared to Christ, he's squata.
Message 15605716
It is one thing to pursue a deep belief in the "Lord"
another to ignore & redicule a very great example of a
truely great and spiritually oriented Human being
that did nothing but devote his entire life to
teaching a path almost similar in thought
and deed to your own master?
(500 yrs earlier)
And most of the great minds of humanity
have found so much in those teachings that
should only be praised, studied
and respected ...
If you would ever like to know why Christianity
will have a very difficult time
ever taking hold in India, Sri Lanka, Asia , Japan,
and many parts of the orient,
it is sad to point out that remark
above as being one of
the chief reasons .

PS: Theologically speaking Christianity and
Buddhism are not so disimilar...both teachers were
on the same track as well. Buddha just came first
in another region , a truely great civilization
that had already recognized "peace" (Ahimsa)
east of Babylon. |
