What about Christianities false prophesies??? http://www.deism.com/paine_essay03.htm

Hello everyone. It's been a while since my last post, but this I find difficult to understand. I am currently in College to become a High School History teacher (I know, High School?? is a questionable, but honorable job) and this morning a teacher in my World Civilizations class said something...

In my opinion, the bible isn't credible in it's current status because it has been translated from Hebrew, Greek, and Latin to English or whatever other language. When I am in spanish class every other day, the teacher (Dr. Gill) tells us some words cannot be translated from Spanish to English...

Me too...

Did anyone know that Buddha Shakyamuni is actually a Catholic saint? I don't want to get in trouble plagarizing, so I will quote the whole section in ESSENTIAL BUDDHISM, A COMPLETE GUIDE TO BELIEFS AND PRACTICES by Jack MaGuire. Page 30 and 31:

I don't know what I did to post it 5 times. Every time I hit the space bar it posted it. Sorry.

Vajradhara, jiii, thank you both for the links. I find this book to be exceptionally interesting. Very much appreciated.

jiii, so true. Sabbe Satta Sukhito Hontu By the way, where did you read "...King Melinda?" It's referenced in my Eastern Religions book, but I can't find it anywhere.

Do any of you believe lay men and women can achieve Nirvana? If yes, say why. If no, also say why. I believe they can, but nearly impossible because of the attachments being a householder causes.

Thank you for answering my question. I am much abliged... SABBE SATTA SUKHITO HONTU! (May all beings be habby!)

I see, I see. I will not say you're right or I'm wrong because they are both only notions. It is what it is (rather Taoist if you ask me). I just saw a Christian church sign that read "Missionary report from Sri Lanka..." and this just reminds me that Christian missionaries denounce local...

This is another question I pose, Why are there realms if souls do no exist? Jake cannot be in the animal realm if HE does not exist as a seperate entity. When I was in Eastern Religions class last semester, we talked about animal realms and Tushita Heaven, on and on. But a view came to my head...

I disagree with you that Buddhism is more like a philosophy than a religion. I open both of my College World Religion and Eastern Religion text books and it magically appears under the term RELIGION. Yes, it possible to be a buddhist and follow other faiths (like Taoism etc,), but many people...

I went to a website offering books as a type of dana, and I selected one. Of course they had to wait to get funding to send me the book, and now I have it. It is called "Pressing Out Pure Honey, A Practioner's Study Guide." It is a book of notes by Sharda Rogell on the Majjhima Nikaya. I...

Here's another question I pose though, are there really hell realms and Tushita Heavens or is it all here on Earth? Here's the reason why I ask: my brother-in-law, age 15, bought two rabbits. He built them a single cage and kept them outside at the beginning of Summer. He was feeding them leaves...

I'm new here, I, Brian, but I think making a "Premium Membership" class would discourage the curious about other faiths. I would make a donation to this site, but as for the "Premium Membership," that would demerit the site. Of course this is just my opinion. Take it for what it's worth, if...

I am an Engaged Buddhist, and I hope you don't mind me posting here. I have a question about Hinduism. Brahma is the Creator, Shiva the Destroyer, and Vishnu the Preservor. When I look at websites about Sarasvati, it says Brahma was blank till he formed Sarasvati, then he was able to see...

toujour_333, your insight seems sincere, and I hope my practise will oneday soon lead me down this path. You seem to like the same books as me, have you ever read the book LITTLE PILGRIM by Ko Un? If not, when I ordered it off the internet, they sent me two copies(I paid for two by accident, so...
