budaatum:It talks about idolatry which doesn't mean worshipping carved metals or woods but the temporal things of the earth, our ambitions etc. which comes first before God in our hearts, thereby causing a shift of the soul from uniting perfectly with God. That is page 1. Page 2 encourages man to seek after God so that the soul will be tied to him and nothing can separate his soul from God. The end result is purity and perfect union with God on earth and even after death. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

budaatum:Before anyone can seek God, he must come to the knowledge that God has laid down tools and procedures on how to seek Him. Then we come to the big question 1. Is God in any religion? 2. Which religion has the true God? 3. What are the tools and procedures in seeking this God? At this point is like I'm reversing the question back to you, The Lord Jesus Christ is the true God. But how did I come to this conclusion? 1. Pragmatic approach, 2. Intuition, 3. Personal experience, 4. Personal research etc. All of this I'm not ready to share or discuss now because the time is not yet ripe. Thanks. God bless. 2 Likes 1 Share |

CaveAdullam:Cave asketh for book and receiveth. Cave opened the book and knocketh! buda graciously thanks Cave for butter and bread for now we starve not and are nourished! Everybody, kindly see the response of a person who seeks and will definitely find God! When he overcomes, and is ready to share or discuss because the time is ripe for the good soil, Cave's grain will fruit a billionfold, a hundredfold, some sixty million and some thirty, for God blesses Cave!

OLAADEGBU: The Manuscripts It is also interesting to note that the earliest fragments of manuscripts reporting the words of Buddha that we still have today are from around the first or second century AD.1 This is roughly the same period from which our earliest fragments of the gospels come. Our earliest approximately complete manuscript of a comprehensive collection of Buddha's teachings is from the middle ages, some 2,000 years after Buddha actually lived.2 By comparison, the first manuscript preserving nearly all of the text of all four gospels is a copy from about 220 AD.3 The reality is that we possess today a far more ancient witness to the words of Jesus than to those of Buddha. Buddha may have lived at an earlier date than Jesus earthly life, but we do not have a present witness to his words that is more ancient than the time of Jesus, or even than the time of the earliest Christian manuscripts.

"You shall not commit murder; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; you shall honour your father and mother; and you shall love your neighbour as yourself," Matthew 19:18-19 And your reason is, "one manuscript is older than the other". "And the second is like unto" what, OLAADEGBU?

OLAADEGBU: Conclusion The mere age of an idea does not make it true or false. While Buddhist cultures do tend to put great weight on what is old and time-tested over what is new and think that this gives Buddhism greater authority than Christianity, this assumption is flawed. First of all, it is flawed on the obvious grounds that older ideas are not always better than newer ones. Buddha himself came offering new ideas his culture had never heard. In doing so, he openly corrected the ancient traditions that were then prevalent around him. If the older idea is always better, Buddhism should never have been taken seriously in the first place. Second of all, it is flawed because it wrongly assumes that the Christian gospel is less ancient than Buddhism simply because Jesus physically walked the earth at a later date than when Buddha lived. As we have seen, the manuscript witness to the teachings of Jesus are older than those of Buddha The teachings of Jesus are rooted in commands and wisdom revealed long before Buddha lived. The Christian gospel fulfilled in Jesus was promised by God for as long as men have lived and was written down by His prophets centuries before Buddha was ever born. If one does insist on giving special weight to what is ancient and time-tested over what is more recent, the Christian gospel ought certainly to be the more greatly revered of these teachings. https://carm.org/does-it-matter-that-buddha-came-long-before-jesus |
