Would you care to expand on your understanding, and of course cite your sources from Buddhist teachings, not non-Buddhist sources.

@Kafziel If only you where close enough to God to hear him talk to you. Many of us Christians can talk with God. I know God, I can't say I know everything about him, but I do know him. He Never Lies. When Jesus said that he is the only way, because he is the gate to heaven, that is true. Anyone who tries to get into heaven another way, is a thief. Jesus came to give us life and life more abundantly, but the Devil has come to, Steal, Kill, Destroy. You can't listen to the devil because there is no truth in him, even the half truth he will tell you is worthless.
I have not been able to see the spirits yet, but hopefully one day God will bless me with it. But I know many many Christians can see them. And they are also able to see the holy Ghost, they know if it's him or not. Now one time Amber, prayed to God for me to see her children, and what I seen was their skeleton, and this bright light in them. I has assumed the bright light was the Holy Ghost they each had.
What Amber was talking to me about, was her husband returned from the war, and at the inauguration, he walked right past her and the two kids and embraced a woman. He then left with her. He abandoned he's kids and wife.

Nope
I wouldn't even attempt to "convert" you my friend
I fully understand your position
But what I can share is my experience
Do want it
Before
Or after
I was made a Christian
Please note
I deliberately chose the words
Was made
Not decided
I don't know anymore what I believe in, consider this an update. Faith lacks knowledge, how do you decide one prophet is greater than another?
No but now I know the value of ignorance, is lack of temptation, for if you do not think about stealing a bike you will never steal it.
The prophet who speaks and it comes to pass. Lord Jesus spoke many things that have come to pass. If I were you, I'd make up my mind soon. The Bible warns us that terrible times will come, great tribulation all over the world. We are in those times right now.
Ignorance can kill you. Mushroom hunters have discovered that too late. Nutmeg in high doses can make people very sick. People were promoting apricot kernels as health foods and a cure for cancer. Sure, if death is preferable to treatable cancer, go right ahead. And so on and so forth.
Christianity is a relationship with an all powerful being. Without this being nothing would exist and we all exist to bring him glory. Whether we bring him glory through our numerous crimes being held against us eternally or being given a pardon by the Creators blood and sacrifice is your free will to make the choice who you serve. I will tell you he is far far worth more than anything this life could possibly offer. Eternity in his presence is our gift he gives freely.
It's a Christian metal band called Demon Hunter. The demons head has a bullet hole in it. They are a lot heavier than say Skillet but I find there lyrics are very deep and not in cookie cutter style like a lot CCM.
We can't convert you.
Buddhism is silly and illogical.
Buddhism.
*All life is suffering
*All life is an illusion
*Reincarnation. Depending on your human behavior in one life,you could reincarnate as a toilet bug in the next.
(I think those ones were IRS agents in their prior life. Very fitting payback if you ask me. Not that anyone did.

I assume that you want to believe the greater one, but it seems you are trying to make this assessment after having placed a value on ignorance and so, if it was Buddha that told you this, and you believe it, then you've already chosen what you believe in. The only thing Jesus claimed to not know is the day or hour of His return. I suppose that is because that day is left to the discretion of His Father, but other than that, there is nothing that He doesn't know.

" for God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son....." is so much better ( and truer) than any other " religion".
not even close..
I see.
It looks like a third eye common in Hinduism and New Age, so you understand the first impression most believers probably have.
Yes, I understand. This is a forum where I've learned to tread carefully. That being said I still screw up lol
Don't we all.
I thank God for His mercy and forgiveness.
I'm in agreement that the Buddhist needs to turn to faith in Christ from his Buddhism, from idols to the living God.
Just so you know that people will misinterpret what you intend it to mean.
Another member has chosen to use the image of a demon representing one for the multitude that Jesus cast out of the demoniac man. That seems to me like a mockery of what the Lord did even though it's his logo for a business.
As someone who experienced the Lord's work of casting it/them out of someone who kept trying to kill me, I take them seriously.
I posted a warrior that reflects spiritual warfare. I wanted one that gave context and happened to be my state of mind when literal demons attacked me and my family.
I can understand that. Being a recovering porn addict I have experienced a good amount of spiritual distress for over two decades now. About a year ago a friend prayed a prayer over me and my addiction was overcome for two months. Recently God has been talking to me more than ever and I feel a break through or some kind of change will happen soon.
