    buddhism and combining aspects of other cultures and religions...

    Dear Vajradhara, My beliefs as a Christian also cause me to see an aspect about the attempts at being humble in buddhism to be interesting. In my faith, man is unable to change his sinful nature apart from the Holy Spirit and being "Born Again" of the Spirit. In Buddhism, how can one "acheive"...

    Was Jesus being mean when he said:

    Dear Quahom1, Thank You. I agree. I do also look forward to the answer, I will only subject it to the light of the scriptures and not my personal opinions of course. "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in...

    Who is Buddu?

    Question: There is a man who works at a grocery that I often go to and I noticed he cut off his hair and is bald. I said, "Looks good ..." He said thanks, the problem is the women comment often and seems they can't resist me. I said, "That's good isn't it?" He said, "No, I shaved being a...

    the Bible from a Jehovah's Witness perspective

    Re: A question to all Christians, anyone can answer though. Dear Quahom1, Good point you made. It's the "sway", "wiles" or "deception" of the evil one... that's what the bible speaks of.:) The world isn't under the power of Satan. He is the great deceiver and father of lies in the world.

    Jesus Christ

    Dear Abogado del Diablo, I would say "Jewish Scripture" (Old Testament) would be the best answer. >I thought you might be a "Stealth" Jehovah Witness or maybe "Mormon" and I wanted to pull your cover...:D Thanks for the clarification.:)

    Christianity minus Paul

    Dear juantoo3, A great question. Unfortunately, that's hard to answer since Paul was given the ministry by the Holy Spirit specifically to preach to the Gentiles. His ministry was supported by both Peter and James who primarily shared Jesus to the Jewish people. Without Paul I can't image what...

    Historicity of Jesus

    Dear Penguin, I would say because the Holy Spirit didn't direct men to include Jospheus in the composed Bible of 66 books as we have it. This is why additional books/writings that claim "Divine Inspiration" outside of the 66 books are VERY suspect indeed.

    Fundamentalist Christianity

    Dear Bigmacscanlan, A very interesting question. I would compare it to a fundamentalist Muslim who follows the teachings of His/Her faith in the (Quaran) & (Hadith) and kills the infidels (Non-Believers). Would this be a good example of fundamentalism but applying this dedicated devotion to...

    Jesus Christ

    Dear Abogado del Diablo, I had a hunch that was where you were going with the opening question.:rolleyes: It appears you may have "other books" you feel are divine? Could you share the names of those books or writtings to me?

    The Return of an unfamiliar Jesus?

    Dear mee, I would say they didn't have a good understanding of scripture.:eek: "Behold, He is coming with clouds, and EVERY EYE WILL SEE HIM, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen." Revelation 1:7 Even Jesus said about Himself...

    Jesus Christ

    Dear Jeannot, Then can I assume by this statement that you do not believe the bible to be inspired by God? "All Scripture is given by inspiration by God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproff, for correction, for instruction in righteousness..." 2 Timothy 3:6
