Allow me to give you the fool proof key to NOT being deceived.
Any person who devalues Jesus Christ is a false teacher and a deceiver. Jesus is the Christ of God and the Saviour of men and anything less than that is unacceptable.
Some religions say that Jesus is a good prophet. .....................….........….NO He is not. He is God almighty in the flesh!
Some religions say that Jesus is good man who did great things...…NO He is not. He is God almighty in the flesh!
As for Mr. Budda. Most
Buddhists are unfamiliar with him. His name was actually Siddhārtha Gautama. Historical facts are that his wife was named Yasodhara, and his son, Rahula, both of whom he left behind to fend for them selves as he pursued enlightenment.
Is that the kind of philosophy that you would advise???
I believe that the 2nd Nobel truth is "Desire leads to attachment, attachment is almost inevitably followed by loss, which causes suffering".
Now .......Do you really believe that cancer stems from desire? That is NOT...NOT at all a Christian view my dear friend.
Buddhism and Christianity are not compatable. Just to give you some Examples---------
"Buddhism teaches that there is
no moral right and wrong."
Christianity teaches that there is such a God and that there is indeed objective right and wrong. Evil, or sin, is breaking the commands of God.
Buddhism teaches that
personal self is an illusion. There is no "I" or "you" even now, and certainly no soul or spirit of man that transcends this physical life.
Christianity teaches that men and women are created in the image of God and are distinct from and have dominion over other living things on the earth,
In Buddhism suffering comes from our illusion of being a personal self and our actions in accordance with that illusion.
In Christianity, it is human evil and disobedience to God that first brought suffering and death into the world, (
Romans 5:12). What man needs most is to be washed of his guilt and to turn from his sin.
