Thread 509701984

Christianity, with its rigid dualisms (God and man, good and evil, will and grace) has long offered a vision of reality that is fatally fractured, propped up by the fragile scaffolding of a personal deity and a moralistic universe. It speaks to the ego, flatters it even, with its promises of eternal reward, personal salvation, and divine favor, but in doing so, it entrenches the very self-centeredness it claims to overcome. Buddhism, by contrast, offers no such consoling fictions. It asks us to die, not physically, but existentially, to dissolve the illusion of a separate self into the radical emptiness (śūnyatā) that underlies all things. Where Christianity clings to a personal God to preserve meaning, Buddhism embraces the void and finds in it the source of true compassion and liberation. The Christian God must speak, must command, must judge; but silence, in Buddhism, is the sound of the world as it is, unmediated by ego or dogma. In an age defined by nihilism, the idea of a cosmic Father watching over us feels not only outdated but obscene. The path forward is not a return to faith but a step beyond it, into the raw, impersonal, yet infinitely interconnected reality that Buddhism makes not only intelligible but livable.

Repent

lol you should go to Myanmar and try to join a local Buddhist temple and see how undogmatic they are

>>509701984 (OP)
To say Buddhism is greater than Christ is to be arrogant which is anti Buddhist. Also it's like saying that going to a physician for physical health problems is better than Christianity when Christianity has nothing to say about your physical body other than you will ultimately suffer and die like everyone else.

Buddhism is about taming your mind and self control which are good things that are part of the Holy Spirit, but those don't speak anything about your spirit and where it goes after you die or why it's important to have a world view around your spirit at all.

Christ gives you the freedom to find hope outside of some man made institution like monkery, monestaries, synagogues, temples, and popery. Your body becomes the temple and the purpose of that temple is for Christ to live in it.

Correct

Well, at least one rapture has already occurred. This planet is, in fact, the place that some people from Earth (such as myself) were raptured to. We weren't "taken to Heaven." We were brought here instead. We're now on a real, physical, 3D planet that is certainly NOT Earth.

Bottom line: This planet is Bozrah, not Earth. Furthermore, the event in which Jesus destroys this planet is called "the day of vengeance." There will be no 7-year Tribulation or Antichrist here—because this isn't Earth. Earth is roughly 75,000 light years from here (and is currently going through the Tribulation). This is just an impostor planet.

Make sure to read my pinned X thread (all four posts). And regarding my X bio, I am exactly who I say I am. Bozrah natives must break free from the spell they've been under. This entire situation has gotten so ridiculous. At this point, I'm just waiting for the day of vengeance.

I really wish I could like Buddhism and Hinduism. I really do.

But anything that advocates veganism and vegetarianism is retarded and gay

Jesus said call no man master, pope, or rabbi so it sounds like Jesus doesn't know many of these so called followers of Christ.

The west doesn't understand well buddhism and always tries to explain it in relationship to Christianity.

Christianity is merely a projection of human consciousness. It's a desire to have control over your circumstances where you idealize yourself as a collective god. Christianity is worshipping of the self.
Where you have people you have gods. If you take away the people the gods also go away.
If you don't realize this you are unenlightened and you don't know you are worshipping yourself or you like worshipping yourself.
Buddhism on the other hand transcends human folly and looks at the objective truth without the narcissism filter.

>>509704853
>Buddhism on the other hand transcends human folly and looks at the objective truth without the narcissism filter.
Isn't there a version of Christianity that's also like this?

Gnostic Christianity is Buddhism with Hellenic characteristics.

>>509704224
Are you saying buddhism is spiritual in the sense it talks about what happens to your spirit in the afterlife? You might be thinking of Taoism.

>>509701984 (OP)
Buddhism and Christianity and Neoplatonism are all the same thing. They all teach the same lessons and have the exact same cosmological understanding of the world. Anyone who tries to play one upper games about which is better than the others is a fool who doesn't understand any of them. You're a fake Buddhist.

>>509705231
All of it is. Christianity teaches renunciation of the flesh and self for the sake of ascending to enlightenment through pure reason and contemplation. Buddhism says "self is an illusion" and Christianity says "you must die in the flesh so that you may live in Christ(Logos)", but both mean the exact same thing. There is an ultimate reality, and the way to be able to see that ultimate reality is to understand that all things are actually one and descend from a perfect unmade and formless unity.

>>509705877
oops wrong, neoplatonism doesn't have a judgement day for moral consequences. oopsie

>>509706155
Yes, it does. Read Plotinus. Not only is reincarnating as an animal a possible punishment, but there are hell-realms within Psyche similar to the ones in Buddhism.

>>509706255
That's not a divine tribunal, only a moral consequence through metaphysical laws, big oops

>>509706360
That's the same thing. A divine tribunal would only be able to operate off of metaphysical laws, because otherwise they'd be arbitrary and in that case they'd be unjust. Which would make them by definition not divine, but human and fallible. Your idea of "divine tribunal" is just an allegorical personification of the metaphysical laws which are present in Neoplatonism, Buddhism and Christianity.

>>509706498
No, since one implies all is as it should be through metaphysics, and the other implies that all is not as it should be and will be destroyed and remade at the end.

Also with a divine courtroom there is possibility that all your mistakes can be forgiven through mercy.

>>509706711
>one implies all is as it should be through metaphysics
Which is what all three belief systems assert. None of them ever suggest that things are ever not well, because the entire foundation of theology as a whole is built on the idea that Being itself has a perfect first cause which ensures that all things must always be well.

>Also with a divine courtroom there is possibility that all your mistakes can be forgiven through mercy.
Which would be absolutely unjust, corrupt, evil and unholy. God would never make exceptions for anyone for any reason. The rules are the rules. They're perfectly fair, so to break them would be perfectly unfair.

>>509706121
cope

>>509706987
The bible says the world is fallen, separating the world(reality) from Heaven(perfect ideals) and prophesies that all will be destroyed completely and remade, both heaven and the earth. This frees your spirit from your soul(consciousness) and in the divine courtroom all your mistakes can be forgiven through God's own suffering because of his love for his creation. There is nothing similar

>>509707635
That's not what Christianity teaches. You ought to read Augustine, Aquinas, Maximus the Confessor, Erasmus, Origen or any of the other scholars. Christianity teaches that the physical world is the lowest descension from the intelligible world, but that everything that happens in the physical world still occurs for the sake of goodness, through God's will. Meaning that the painful things that happen here are purposeful, this is medicine for your soul. Which is exactly what Neoplatonism and Buddhism teach.

>This frees your spirit from your soul(consciousness) and in the divine courtroom all your mistakes can be forgiven through God's own suffering
No, Christianity never teaches that. That's actually considered heresy by everyone other than certain batshit American branches of fake Christianity. The idea that you can simply be forgiven without actually learning how to correct your bad behavior is blasphemy.

>>509707946
Then you have never read a bible, suffering is not good for your soul. It's terrible for your soul, and it's why Jesus said if it was possible, let this cup of suffering pass from him, but he drank it on purpose for mankind.

>>509707946
Jesus said all suffering is vain.

There is only one form of suffering that God will reward you for and that is if you suffer to spread the Gospel of Salvation. Which is the very thing Jesus and all the saints suffered for.

>>509708836
>>509709262
I've read it. You haven't. What do you think it means to die in the flesh for the sake of living in Christ? It means learning how to suffer well, which is the same as overcoming suffering so that it troubles you no more. This is the single most repeated lesson in all of Christianity, that learning how to suffer gladly is the one and only way to heaven.

>>509702920
>Christ gives you freedom to find hope outside of some man made institution like monkey, monasteries.... Your body becomes the temple and purpose........
There is no need of churches of this is the case.
Superior white race is following a desert death cult. LoL

>>509705877
1. Buddha doesn't say you are going to hell if you aren't following his religion.
2. Buddha doesn't say he is dying for your sins. How can ones death clear the bad karma on someones else name? Do you see the flaw?

>>509713109
>1. Buddha doesn't say you are going to hell if you aren't following his religion.
Neither does Christ. Both of them do say, though, that you'll become the cause of your own suffering if you don't follow their advice.

>2. Buddha doesn't say he is dying for your sins.
Neither does Christ, not literally. He died for our sins in the same sense that Socrates died for our sins. It was done for the sake of showing us how to die well, so that we can cleanse ourselves of evil.

>How can ones death clear the bad karma on someones else name?
It can't. Christianity teaches explicitly that you have to make yourself good to ascend to a better realm. Nobody can do it for you.

>>509713320
>Neither does Christ.

Christian beliefs.
Salavation is achieved through faith in jesus (christianity).
Non-Christians, regardless of their moral character, are destined for hell. (LOL)
Belief that good works alone are not sufficient for salvation.
>He died for our sins in same sense that Socrates died for our sins.
Even the god can see through this bullshit logic if he exists. But it Looks like Christian god is blind and can't see between good and evil.
>Teaches explicitly that you have to make yourself good.
Nope. Christianity says no salavation for you if you don't believe in Jesus. Good deeds and moral character is second to belief in jesus.

>>509701984 (OP)
Buddhism is even more cucked than Christianity, and thats really saying something.

>>509701984 (OP)
Buddhism is self contradicting pajeet nonsense. If there’s no self, there’s no suffering. The entire thing falls apart. Even Buddhists knew this, the Buddha literally scams and extorts sun wukong at the end of journey to the west. Try thinking a little bit harder next time

Buddhism isn't logical compare to God.

>>509713902

>>509701984 (OP)
they are apples to oranges and you are retarded for comparing them in this manner. buddhism is a philosophy, or dharma. it is not a religion. they are two distinctly different things and they have more similarities than differences.

>>509711421
wrong, it's not enough that Jesus who was the son of God died for you, but that he died to save you from sin for something. The reason he died and suffered so that you don't have to is so that you would choose to do it for others, that you would spread the Gospel and follow him.

>>509714147
>Through faith in God.

Jesus died for your sins- means even if you are a rapist you can go to heaven if you believe in jesus but it's not true for a non believer even if he is morally good and never harmed anybody.

Don't you see flaw in the logic?

If I was a god I would have slapped back jesus to earth for teaching wrong things.

>>509714256
Subjective to belief in christianity which is flawed.

>>509714522
Subjective because you are a weak fuck compare to God.

That means this isn’t about bhuddism, but about your desperation for people to believe anything EXCEPT for Christianity.

Also bhuddism is brown. Get the fuck off my board.

>>509714408
even if someone comitted murders and rapes all his life he is going to heaven because at the last moments of his life he started believing in jesus.
Right?

LMAO

Strength is Justice, and weakness is a Sin.

The weak fucks are people who believe they can attain moksha(heaven) the easy way.
I believe in good karma(the difficult way) not a fucking prophet who is teaching wrong things(providing criminals ticket to heaven).

>>509714881
when you have true faith it is transformative and you no longer do the raping and murdering, but everyone is at different levels of faith and so we are all capable of becoming rapists and murderers on a whim because our faith can waver, and we can also sin by mistake or commit sins that we don't even know about.

>>509715059
If that's true then why prison sentences to rapists and murderers. Jesus already died for their sins now all they need is belief in him.
Do you see the flaw? If God has forgiven them for the crimes who are you to punish them?

>>509715059
>when you have true faith it is transformative and you no longer do the raping and murdering, but everyone is at different levels of faith and so we are all capable of becoming rapists and murderers on a whim because our faith can waver, and we can also sin by mistake or commit sins that we don't even know about.
The only way to reconcile Christianity's emphasis on salvation through faith with actual morality is to say that anyone who truly believes in Christ is incapable of doing horrible things, and anyone who does something truly horrible after professing faith in Christ was either lying or deluded about his faith.
Of course, small sins after conversion are no big deal, but to say a murderer can get into heaven for saying the magic words (I believe in Jesus), while a good man goes to hell because he does not believe in Jesus, is obviously immoral and wicked.

>>509715168
We have court rooms because in Heaven you will have a divine court room where all of your sins whether you knew they were sins or not will be revealed and you will be judged. Prison and death are just a light warning compared to God's wrath. If you have faith in the Gospel then all the sin is forgiven.

>>509715513
You can't be good without God.

>>509715513
>anyone who truly believes in Christ is incapable of doing horrible thing
no.
>anyone who does something truly horrible after professing faith in Christ was either lying or deluded about his faith
you come to christ BECAUSE you are a sinner and admitted to sin.

>small sins after conversion are no big deal,
no, all sins are a death penalty in heaven.

>good man goes to hell because he does not believe in Jesus, is obviously immoral and wicked.
there is no good man, no not one.

Your way of looking at it makes the person great because of his works, not because it makes God glorified.
