i don’t think islam and buddhism are illegitimate or evil. what do you think?

The fundamental teaching of Buddhism is how to escape suffering. Jesus didn't escape suffering, He endured it.

The Son of God, learnt obedience through suffering (Hebrews 5:8) And those who suffer in the flesh come to cease from sin (1 Peter 4:1)

Suffering serves a purposeful role in the walk of every believer, acting to refine faith, deepen dependence on God, and align our hearts and minds with the sacrificial love of the Lamb that was slain.

Professing that it's possible to dodge or evade suffering is a bogus sidestep, undermining an intrinsic principle of the Gospel. Buddhism, therefore, opposes the truth.

i don’t think so.
about muhammad i believe him to be inferior at this point to christ in my life, but christ said in the beginning his kingdom is the most inferior, least of all kingdom but becomes greater and greater over time.

i just hate christian ignorance and prejudice, if some don’t know about something automatically its false or evil.
muhammad did say he was greater than christ in a indirect way

muhammad never said he was the father or one with the father, buddha and shiva and other leaders never claimed anything like that also

if you don’t agree with it or prefer it keep to your beliefs, i just don’t get why some trash and disparage something not thier own because they don’t prefer it

Let’s get some foundational truths with no kid gloves.

Muhammad was wicked and evil, and no Christian should follow him in any way. Islam and Buddhism are satanic, and Muhammad got his info from a fallen angel.

Those are facts. And they don’t care about your feelings.

Hope that helps.

Islam was founded by a mass murdering paedophile. A good many of his followers follow his example. Islam treats women like dirt. Those who do not believe Islam are considered to be infidels. Infidels are either to be treated as second class people (the principle of "Dhimmi") or as people to be killed. It depends how useful infidels can be.

Islam also allows Muslims to lie and deceive. It's known as "Taqiyya." It's mostly to avoid persecution, but Muslims quite happily lie in order to advance Islam.

This is a link to an article exposing Mohamed's life:

Annaqed - The Critic - Muhammad and His Crimes against Humanity

Buddhism denies Lord Jesus as Saviour and Lord. It is a false gospel and therefore accursed. It promotes the idea that man pays for his own sins through reincarnation. God's word tells us that once a person dies, he faces God's judgement. There is no reincarnation.

Jesus said that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. There is no other way to God.​

Can always count on you to bring the direct truth. I was waiting for someone to bring the challenge to the OP. You can study the "religions" of the world but the Bible stands alone. No other religious leader died to save his followers.

 

[ThereRoseaLamb]

i just hate christian ignorance and prejudice,

Can you elaborate on what you mean by this comment. And take into consideration that you are quite ignorant of Islam, which you seem to see in a positive light.

if some don’t know about something automatically its false or evil.

You're making the assumption that Christians don't read or study but follow blindly their religious leaders. You might have a point if you were talking about Catholics. But I bet you've already learned things about Islam you didn't know. And we haven't gone very deep in their religious beliefs.

muhammad did say he was greater than christ in a indirect way

muhammad never said he was the father or one with the father, buddha and shiva and other leaders never claimed anything like that also

Jesus claimed to be God. He said there is only one way and it was through Him. Islam says that Allah has no sons. They deny what Jesus said. The Bible says if anyone comes with a different message it is false.

if you don’t agree with it or prefer it keep to your beliefs, i just don’t get why some trash and disparage something not thier own because they don’t prefer it

So in your eyes, to tell the truth about someone or something is to trash it?? The Bible tells us to spread the Truth of Gods word so that people might be saved. If you saw someone drowning would you look at them and say " well maybe they wanted to drown"? No, you would give them a lifeline and that is what we were commanded to do.

There is only one God and one mediator between God and men the man Christ Jesus.

Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins.

Only a sinless man can reconcile the world to God.

God appointed the man Christ Jesus King over the world's affairs.

A person must believe Jesus is the Savior of the world, and there is no benefit from God in the afterlife but by Him, and by Him their sins are washed away, and they will be resurrected and have access to a spiritual relationship with God.

A person cannot receive the Holy Spirit until they confess Christ which only by the Spirit can we have a spiritual relationship with God.

Sin separates us from God and only a person that does not want sin led of the Holy Spirit will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.

Only Christianity confesses Christ and the other religions do not.

And the new age christianity, Scientology, and Christian Science are off the mark having a natural theme about them.

Which all the other religions have a natural theme about them.

The antichrist will deceive the world by the new age christianity saying all religions are compatible with that.

He will say that Jesus is not savior but a good teacher and of the same belief system as him and he is the next world teacher.

All the other religions believe the Bible is truth but they will not believe it is all truth or interpret it according to their religion.

Islam believes the Bible is truth but some of it came from man and the Quaran is the last book of the Bible.

They believe Jesus will defeat the antichrist and rule the world according to the laws of Islam.

Islam is antagonistic to the Old Testament Jews and the New Testament Christians and do not abide in the truth.

Buddhism appears more peaceful and loving but they fall short.

If the flesh dwells no good thing so the other religions will fall short of having a spiritual relationship with God only provided by Jesus washing away our sins allowing us to be led by God for we are a clean vessel.

Hi alien glad you stopped by, welcome to CC! The main difference between Buddha & Muhammad and Jesus Christ is that they are both dead and buried. Jesus came here from Heaven as the Son of God, sacrificed His life on our behalf was crucified and ROSE back to Heaven. And btw, He's the only name that will assure our eternal life instead of eternal damnation. Lord enlighten alien to Your truth and blessings, IJNA

Jesus is the Way, the Gate and the Door.
He is God.
There is no getting around that.

And do you take similar complaints to Islamists when they are chopping off the heads of Christians
or throwing homosexuals off rooftops and stoning adulterers to death? How about when they kidnap
and rape teenage girls before murdering them and then send the parents video evidence of their deeds?

It appears that you are posting in the wrong forum. This is called Christian Chat.

If you are not a Christian, you may need to look for an Alien Chat or Extraterrestrial Debate forum.

Christians follow Jesus Christ who is both God and man and is the only way to eternal life in heaven.



John 14:6

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.



Galatians 1:6

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

I think you as well as islamists and buddhists are lost and will not see heaven unless you accept the forgiveness for sins that only Jesus Christ, and no other, can offer.

So, you got my answer, including 2 sermons worth of study.
What do you think of Jesus?
Is He 100% God Almighty as well as the perfect sinless man Who came to die for all of our sins, and arose from the tomb on the third day?

@alien ,

Since you came hear to learn about Christianity and not to troll, here's a very interesting documentary about the distinctions between Christianity and Buddhism.

>Buddhism Documentary <

 

[andy700700]

Romans 3:21-31
New International Version
But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22 This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— 26 he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
27 Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires works? No, because of the law that requires faith. 28 For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. 29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too, 30 since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith. 31 Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.

You are definitely taking a controversial position. Most people in this forum will not know that pre-Nicaea, there were many early church teachers who accepted many other religions as no more than a half-step away from Christianity and thus acceptable when the followers practiced what was called for by Jesus, and in fact would likely be more acceptable to God than Christians who did not. But that all changed in the years following Nicaea. Once Christianity became fully accepted by the Roman government, several years after Nicaea, concern arose over whether there was sufficient governmental support, which meant that anyone other than "pure/proper Christianity" needed to be removed from possibly receiving any funding. This led to Christianity rejecting any other religion as well as great concern over orthodox beliefs with any variation needing to be suppressed, an attitude that is very common in some circles today.

Two plus two equals four. Someone who tells you it is five is wrong. Telling that person they are wrong is not trashing or disparaging. Someone who tells you Jesus is not God (the followers of Islam) or there is no God (followers of Buddhism) are wrong. Telling you they are wrong is not trashing or disparaging.

Telling the truth about Mohammed or Buddha is not trashing or disparaging.
Many Moslems tell lies about Jesus and actively seek to undermine or restrict sharing of Christian truth. They trash and disparage God and His people.

So maybe your disgust is misdirected.

To those who are alien to the love of God in Christ, no they aren't. Their longevity has not escaped the Master's explanation,

Jesus said of every longstanding demonic doctrine: "If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand?"

What do you think of the many here reasoning His mercy?

You probably should be more specific. All mankind, living and dead, is subject to upcoming judgement by God. Jesus Christ's atoning sacrifice is the only means to appease God's righteous punishment for sin.

This doesn't mean that Islamists and Buddists are necessarily unpleasant people, per se. But if these religions are relied upon for being restored to the One, True, Holy God, the religions are illegitimate and evil, for they do not and will not deliver their adherents what is promised.
