Jesus as a Bodhisattva

[soma]

Sounds like you want to ban a philosophy that you know nothing about. Can we condemn people to hell without knowing them? Should we ban books that we have not read? It is good to study science, philosophy, religion. math and even psychology. Have you burned any witches lately. It is Holloween.

God knows all about Buddhism and he warns us in the verse of Scripture that BB posted.

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

Simple.

As far as burning witches, God tells us to love our enemies, therefore witches should be given the truth so that they can repent and become children of God. You see, everyone is a child of the devil like witches are, until they are born of the Spirit of God(born again) after which they are adopted into the family of God, being children of God. One who has never been born again is a child of the devil and is on his/her way to hell.

Simple.

philosophy and vain deceit

Too bad Christians formulate philosophy from scripture.....

(Original Sin, Fall of Man, Eternal Soul in hell vs. Annilation of Soul in hell, Exclusivism vs Inclusivistic sects (UU), Sunday vs Saturday Worship, ..... the list goes on and on and on..............)

All those philosphies are are at odds with other denoms..... (SDA vs Catholic, Baptist vs Presbyterian, RCC vs OC, etc.........)

How many denoms are there????

At least 500 I am sure.....

Too bad non-Christians fromulate philosophy from opinions of men.

(No sin nature, innocence of Man, Eternal Soul reincarnating over and over again vs eternal life with God for the children of God, All inclusiveness of all beliefs against the creator, Karma, No true worship.........the list goes on and on and on...........)

All non-Christian philosophies have no truth of God in them, and are doctrines of devils......(wiccan, witchcraft, new age, baal worship, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, etc........)

How many false religious systems are there?????

More than the only ONE Truth I am sure.....

Sounds like I want to "ban" philosophy"?

The bible warns us not to be spoiled by philosophy not ban it. :roll:

I don't condemen people to hell.

I didn't say a word about banning books.

I haven't burned any witches... ever...

And your post is shallow... 8-)

Those who want to merge the teachings of Buddhism with Christianity are joining clean with unclean.

Kind of like eating of pork and not worshipping on the Sabbath??

That kind of unclean????

I am a little confused on this one.....

Sounds like you know vain deceit and are following the phosophy of man not Jesus. Jesus loved all and died for them. He did not condemn.

As far as burning witches, God tells us to love our enemies, therefore witches should be given the truth so that they can repent and become children of God. You see, everyone is a child of the devil like witches are, until they are born of the Spirit of God(born again) after which they are adopted into the family of God, being children of God.

You give the devil so much power. Jesus spoke of love so follow Christ and He will lead you to God who has power over the devil. Why do you worship the devil and give him credit when you should be praising the Lord?

You want to ban books, science and philosophy. You want to burn books so the next step is to burn people. We need to worship the Lord and follow the path of love that Jesus said. People say they are Christian, but worship tax cuts over helping and loving others. Saying other people are children of the devil doesn't make it OK to bomb them, to let them starve to death, or hurt them in anyway. Love your neighbor as yourself.

Who are you talking to? Who is for banning books and burning witches?

If a person is against studying philosophy, science or anything else that can make him or her more knowledgable then they are for banning that subject, book or material that the ignorant person is railing against. Out of ignorance they say it is the devil's work when they are not knowledgable of the subject, maybe all they know is the devil.

No...

We are warned in the bible against being deceived by the world.

That doen't mean we are for burning witches or banning books.

You are wrong.

Doctrines of devils is like burning a book, don't devils burn with fire.
Children of the devil was used in another passage doesn't the devil live in Hell? I think all the talk about the devil and hell is shallow and Christians go to it when they can't argue logically. I thought only God makes those judgements. We need to learn and grow closer to the Lord. The devil will have no power when we walk with Him. Light repels darkness so why do we talk about it or say others are in darkness when we don't know or if we do, are we only taling about our own darkness.

Light repels darkness so why do we talk about it or say others are in darkness when we don't know or if we do, are we only taling about our own darkness.

Yes, focusing on darkness strengthens it or creates an illusion of it in "places" where it never existed. Therefore the focus of a son of God should be on Light and on Light alone, for darkness vanishes where Light enters.

Ask yourself ... if God's Kingdom is as whole as Its Creator and if God is Light, how can darkness exist anywhere ... or be anything but an illusion of the ego?

Therefore, those who see darkness can not be in the Kingdom which is only Light. Rather they must be in ego.

If we judge others to be in darkness, we exclude them from the Kingdom and make the Kingdom therefore incomplete. The Kingdom, however, is as Whole as God ...

Therefore, if we place others outside off the Kingdom, we prove (primarily to ourselves, for God knows us to be in the Kingdom) that we can not see the Kingdom and thus the Kingdom of God is lost for us too!

Judge not lest ye be judged was said for a reason!!! So cease listening to the ego and cease justifying the unjustifiable, but do what Jesus told us to do.

The word of God refutes you.

Ephesians 5:5-7 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them.

Only heretics and children of Satan promote the lying snake doctrine of "all inclusiveness" in the Kingdom.

Serpents and vipers...

John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

Children of the devil always masquerade as children of the light. They rarely quote scripture but they quote their evil prophets and lying snake prophetess's as though they were God's ministers.

They are promoting "pig swill"..

2 Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

2 Corinthians 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

This forum is filled with children of wrath who claim they are children of light.

The word of God exposes them for the liars they are.

Isaiah 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

Indeed, BB. Specimen such as the selection mentioned in Ephesians 5:5-7 may have no place in the Kingdom. If you would read my post somewhat more attentively and would understand what I have written, you would no doubt see that. It applies to them too. For it is all inclusive.

And if you could see the more often than not frightened child inside many so-called criminals, BB, and if you could just for a while look past a man's transgressions, and see his true self, you would see quite another reality. A human being is not his deeds, BB. His "sins" can be washed away ... in a New York second. All it takes is Light.

Open your mind for just a moment and see if there is perhaps not more truth to what I say than what you thought at first sight. Remember ... one has to relinquish the things of mind (Luke 14:33)!

Besides ... whatever you perceive me to be (you did mention quite a selection of reptiles there!), I merely urged you not to judge, as Someone Else did a while ago. Is not judging that difficult?

I agree a man can have His sin's washed away by the blood of Christ.

Not all men love the light... and not "all men" will be saved.

John 3:19-21 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

There are those who will not see life. That is what God's word clearly states. They will see wrath and condemnation.
