“.... However the base belief in Christianity is in salvation through accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as ones personal Savior and following the principles he taught..... “

First: Who is Jesus? Jesus Christ according to Beinsa Douno is the manifestation of God's love.
Now, one can see the “human” element “... accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as ones personal Savior... “ in understanding Christ's teaching. Jesus often used symbolic language, and when He said “I am the way...” He meant that LOVE, the Divine Love is the way to Heaven.

A lot of the doctrines that many churches have today do not come from Christ. Christ never preached them.

If Jesus came today, he would say: “These churches don't preach what I preached.” What I preached is Love, brotherhood and sisterhood.

Thank you for pointing out my spelling mistake “Buddhist”.
I am willing and am trying to perfect my English.

Divine Blessings,
DS

First: I'd like to apologize to you for my post #3 on this thread.

Your statement: "The Budist is a Christian." Just rubbed me the wrong way.

"First: Who is Jesus?

He is God. The only begotten Son of the Father.

"Jesus often used symbolic language, and when He said “I am the way...” He meant that LOVE, the Divine Love is the way to Heaven."

No, Christ's words weren't symbolic. Jesus meant, quite literally, that HE is WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE. Jesus died a sacrificial death for us on the cross. There is no other way to heaven but to accept His gift of grace.

God is love

Love is blind

Stevie Wonder is blind

Therefore; Stevie Wonder is God.


My sylogism is as good as yours

I had not read this when I made my first response. Thus, you deserve an apology for my wisecrack about taking an English composition course. Kudos to you for working on this already...and I am sincerely sorry for that comment.

If Jesus came today he would ask why you misrepresented his teachings in such a gross manner. First and foremost Jesus taught that He came to die for the sins of the world and that to back it up, he would rise again from the grave.

Jesus further taught that the acceptance of who He is was the only way to heaven- not some amorphic eastern divine love concept.

Accordingly, Jesus taught he was the EXCLUSIVE way - that rules out buddhism, islam, or the plethura of other 'isms. Buddhism keeps you trapped in a cycle of karma. Jesus came as the sovereign God who loved me — the Son of Man, fully human and fully God. Jesus of reality is not the Jesus of Beinsa Douno, Jesus of history refutes Douno's concept of an amorphous 'manifestation' of love, but is the God who loves us.

Benisa Doumo's doctrines are as far removed from what Jesus taught as the east is from the west.

Jesus Christ - accept no substitutes.
