I've thought about your religion time and time again, and one thing bugs me deeply. How is God merciful? I know you like to blame Satan but when Satan rebelled against God it is said he made him like a beast (natural and instinctive) and later let him rule the earth. How is this merciful and kind like the way Jesus was? He unleashed demonic forces upon the world and then blames the natural and instinctive forces he himself unleashed.
We think about the holy trinity and whether Jesus was an accurate representation of God which as far as I can find he was not, because Jesus isn't truly God in the holy trinity. He's not a selfless character like Jesus was and sends others to eternal hell which is not merciful or kind or just.
I'm sorry if I'm confused. I've just became that way.
Let’s look at Eve for a moment, since you mentioned God’s judgment against Satan. In your imagination, step into the garden. Look around. What do you see? Free food. Beauty. Abundance. Trees everywhere, each one overflowing with provision. Yet out of all the trees in the garden, Eve’s attention fixed on the single tree she was told not to eat from. It was a matter of perspective. She chose to see
lack in a place of
bounty. She focused on what was withheld rather than on everything that had been freely given.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ isn’t a religion; it’s good news. Many spiritual teachers throughout history have offered paths of discipline, self‑improvement, or inner balance, but Jesus taught something fundamentally different: that a person must be born again. Not merely instructed, not merely enlightened, but transformed from the inside out. New birth gives a new perspective—one that sees the world not through the lens of scarcity but through the abundance of God’s grace. Salvation isn’t learning how to cope with lack; it’s learning how to live in the bounty God has already provided.
Classical Buddhism teaches that
attachment to pleasure and desire leads to suffering. Therefore, the path to liberation involves
loosening attachment, cultivating
detachment, and learning to live without being ruled by craving.
Jesus teaches something fundamentally different: that the human problem is not attachment but
spiritual death, and the solution is
new birth—a transformation from the inside out.
This new birth gives a
new perspective, one that sees God’s generosity everywhere. Christian salvation is not learning to live without pleasure; it is learning to live in the
bounty of God’s grace.
Many religious traditions teach ways to rise above desire or detach from pleasure, but Jesus taught something fundamentally different. He said a person must be born again—transformed from the inside out. New birth gives a new perspective: not one of scarcity but of abundance. Salvation isn’t learning how to live with lack; it’s learning how to live with the bounty God has already provided.
And this bounty comes from Above, demonstrating that God the Father, just as the Son, is also a God of Mercy and Grace.
