No-one hates Jesus Chris....
it is they who are his followers , that will not leave
the similarily divinely inspired faiths of the world at peace...trying forever to convert and subvert them , and cause untold hardship.
God has revealed himself to many , and has many sons and daughters that walked and taught in many other lands, and one of the greatest teachers of the Earth was Buddha.
He was teaching ===>love thy neighbor , and compassion , the golden rule , and every other beautitude that was plagiarized and patched into Christianity....550years
before..
And so you think Buddha did not teach a belief in God the father?
He was very wise , Chris , wiser than anything you or your christian Brothers can imagine by not dwelling on the Idea of God...
He taught the path and the way , which in the end are of far greater importance than trying to meddle in the affairs of the higher powers, or by pretending you can speak for him/them....very dangerous temptation to do.
You do the simple work before you , you leave others alone, train your mind and quiete it , and you will know god in time , and see the divine within. God is not a flag , standard , cote of arms , and army you join and wave all over the place and threaten with. To even use the word as frequently as you do is to tempt the fates terribly.
you cannot know the tiniest splinter of what
is in the mind of God...not if you memorized
10,000 bibles.
If you would be a good Christian , i would strongly advise you to study the teachings of the master===>Buddha.
You will see where the most beautiful in
Christianity came from all said and done all 550yrs
before Christian era....
It was he that gave the first Sermon on the Mountain , it is one of the most famous, 500 y4ears before...the largest gathering of people to hear one teacher speak of all time till then ...all on record.
...the virgin birth....the golden rule , not stealing , loving thy neighbor, the importance of compassion and the most important rule of not killing, anything!...the suffering in the world , and the importance of losing desire as the way to conquer ignorance. .... scraficing joy , for greater joy, the middle way ,the path that is the most difficult in the world yet the most simplest.
The peace that transcendeth all peace...where do you think that concept comes from, Mr Land ? Also living in a state of Grace as well . You get three guesses.
It is called Nirvanna , Attainment...and not the path many wish to travel. He taught the way which is difficult , so difficult , a path few start and even fewer finish... they call it the razor's edge.
Buddha taught the greatest sin , was to start the path , and not to finish. He was as much the son of God as ever there was a Jesus 550 years later.
Every Historian in the world knows that there was this great teacher , they know when he was born , and when he died 73 years later. And so much flowed from his teachings that christianity is but an off-shoot from his beginning .
From the place he died sprang the world's greatest university for centuries later , dedicated to studying the path and seeking purification. Till the holy Jhiad of Islam came in and killed 20,000 monks in a day....
The christians topped that , when they killed 30,000 moslem women and children in the crusades in Jerusalem in a day....
All this out of knowing God? I think not. Study the Buddha
have an open mind , you will see Jesus there. He was the older brother , if you will and sent on to teach before.
Potentially 2 1/2 billion Buddhists in the world , Chris , so try and======> make nice.
One teacher died on a cross perhaps , and one lived fully and humbly to teach for over 60years , and died without possesions ...yet was most worshipped of his world...and venerated today. And all your rantings will not make Him go away...don't even try.
He taught by speaking parables...and telling stories , that are told today as they were told by the seas of Galilea
500years later by caravan traders....It was a teaching that catured the heart of the mightiest on earth, yet didn't need war to grow....
