When every man is his own Pope and Chief Theologian, anything is possible. BTW, every Buddhist I know recognizes that he was born a man, taught as a man and died as a man, never a God and never a product of some bestial pagan myth. But what do I know?

An outstanding observation, which also provides great justification to rely upon the work of God the Holy Spirit in the believer, instead of another man who has no more authority in our relationship with God the Father through faith in Christ than do each us as royal priests in His family.

If others insist upon placing themselves between God the Father, and the individual believer other than the High Priest Jesus Christ, then bless them and let that person be so held accountable at the bema seat or at the Great White Throne Judgment.

Yes what do you know, apparently not much about Buddhism. See my previous post or do a google, the truth is out there and will set you free.

Ya see, not all religions are equal. There is but one narrow path to salvation. It doesn’t have a man made label nor is it controlled by man.

The path to salvation is through Jesus the Son of God.

I’ve visited Buddhist temples which were 2000 years old. These people know their faith and its not what is found in some knew age coffee shop.

Buddhism is far different than you or your friends expect.
