Buddha:

Hatred does not ever cease in this world by hating, but by love; this is an eternal truth... Overcome anger by love, Overcome evil by good. overcome the miser by giving, overcome the liar by truth.

Jesus:

Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. From anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt. Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes away your goods, do not ask for them again

Buddha:

One is the way to gain, the other is the way to Heaven , knowing this fact, disciples of the Buddha should not take pleasure in being honored, but, should practice detachment.

Jesus:

No slave can serve two masters For a slave will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.

Buddha:

Just as a mother would protect her only child at the risk of her own life, even so, cultivate a boundless heart towards all beings. Let your thoughts of boundless love pervade the whole world.


Jesus:

This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends.

was worth the repeating ....

just coinincidental all these
parallel sayings yes? And the one lived 500yrs or more
before the other...
heartlandsangha.org

Although the Buddha and Jesus lived hundreds of years and cultures apart, there are striking parallels to the sayings attributed to them. It is not that they said exactly the same things, it is rather that their distinctive and independent sayings pierce the veil of illusion, reminding us that God, or truth or whatever word that we choose to call that which is ultimate, binds us together in a timeless and infinite garment of mutuality.

hmmmm....along with the miracles , curing the lepers , raising the dead , walking on the water etc etc.

Wrong again Brian.

Before I forget, the separation of goats and sheep judgment has taken place already, correct?

In your belief, since Christ is already on the millenial throne, He has already separated the goats and the sheep. It takes place immediately after the second coming ad70?

Romans 11:11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall?
God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation
is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.


This says they did not fall. They only stumbled. On what? The stumblingstone.
