*** They are about understanding yourself.***

My understanding is that it goes further than this. There is no Holy Spirit. Which means there is no God, nor any Jesus Christ.

I am not a student of Buddhism, other than I have discussed this with the few Buddhists that I do know. I have been told that they do NOT believe in any God, but I assert, if there isn’t one true God, then you have fashioned one for yourself.

I do not hold followers of Buddhism in contempt. On the contrary, I pray for them, that true wisdom comes to them.

Fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom.

So in order to have Wisdom, you need to first understand that the Lord is real, not some fairy tale.

"My understanding is that it goes further than this."

Of course. I'm describing somehting in a few words.

"There is no Holy Spirit. Which means there is no God, nor any Jesus Christ."

Those are not tenets of Buddhist philosophy.

"I am not a student of Buddhism, other than I have discussed this with the few Buddhists that I do know. I have been told that they do NOT believe in any God, but I assert, if there isn’t one true God, then you have fashioned one for yourself."

I am. As I said, no belief in god is required by Buddhist philosophy, nor is it barred. Atheists do not believe in god, whether that makes sense to you or not.
