» Brother_Jones - Buddhism vs Christianity

In response to Buddhism vs Christianity posted by pink101:

Is Christ something different that Jesus in any sense of the words as names or titles? Do we speak of "The Jesus" in the same sense as we speak of "The Christ"?

The basic plank of Buddhism is to determine your own truth for yourself by looking within for answers. That is the starting point for determining that man is essentially good and each person can find the truth that conforms to what they feel in their own inner being. God becomes an impersonal being and Jesus another Christlike figure similar to Buddha, but they are not really needed to discover ultimate truth. Both man and plant are not just similar in nature to God but are god/gods in a matter of speaking, which is the appeal of Buddhism, and the reason that it appeals to those who reject the Bible message.

I went back to your first question because it took us a few days to get to the root of the problem that most liberal folks have with the person of Jesus Christ.

i am just an oldtimer for the Lord.
