I’m not in here to try to start a fight or anything like that, so please don’t take what I say out of context. I believe in God, creation (not necessarily that the world is only like 4000 years old or anything) and that Jesus is my saviour. I’m not asking you to believe it I’m not trying to tell you that you need to believe it, all I’m doing is trying to carry an interesting conversation to get other peoples “convictions” out in the open and have intelligent debates, mainly because I went through a few years of atheism myself and when I returned to religion I brought with me a more questioning view of it all and I now appreciate it and God’s redeeming mercy/grace more than I ever could hoped to have done by staying a narrow minded sheep all my life.
I respect God and Allah and shit, but I’m Buddhist. Anyway, in Buddhism, they are all pretty much having the same mission, except they changed because chinks wouldn’t listen to crackers and indians wouldn’t listen to mexicans etc.

If I’m not mistaken... Is it Buddha said that there will be a man that will become human savior...???

If by man you mean man-god as in Jesus, then I seriously doubt it. Buddhism doesn’t believe in a personal god and is considered non-theistic, so I don’t know where that man-god is supposed to come from.
Holy fuck, someone actually read a post and didn’t flame me?
Dharma is the practice of Buddhism. Around 1000 years ago, Sakyamuni Buddha, AKA Siddhartha Gautama (“The Buddha” Taught Buddhism to everyone who wanted to learn. This millenium was the Dharma period, when Dharma was strong. From the year 2000 to the year 3000 is the ending dharma time, when Buddhism is becoming less popular. During this time, Di Zhang (I think his English name is Svitigara or something) is supposed to keep Buddhism alive for Sakyamuni. In the year 3000, Mi Le Buddha (The Happy Buddha AKA the fat one) is supposed to start teaching Buddhism again and, I guess the cycle starts over. Before Sakyamuni, there was no Buddhism.
All of the above applies only to our earth, as there are countless other universes and dimensions etc... beyond our comprehension.
Buddhism also says that during WWIII, a nuclear holocaust (or that’s what it implies, anyway), if you survive the blast then you must survive through the following 8 (I think it’s 8) years of famine and radiation before it is guaranteed that you will survive.
Anybody, with enough practice, can become a Buddha. But that’s A LOT OF PRACTICE. Sakyamuni got enlightened on Earth. The next Buddha who will do this is the Happy Buddha. Right now, Buddhists practice by chanting Buddha’s name and following his teachings to go to the Western Pureland to learn from Amitabha. in a VERY VERY VERY VERY .... VERY VERY LONG time, (i’m not certain) I think Guang Yin, AKA The Bodhisattva of Mercy, AKA Avalokitesvara, will take over Amitabha’s role. In Western Pureland (Avalokitesvara will have a different land, but the same purpose), disciples have already bypassed the cycle of samsara in the 6 realms, and are practicing to become enlightened and be a Buddha.

thats cool you see im christian and i dont
judge you because of your religion.....what makes
me sad is there are christians who do and in the
bible it says we are not to judge its not our
place but i would like to hear more about budisim
it sound like an okay religion to me as does
islam they both appeal to me you see thats the
role were supposed to play the diciples not the
accusers but many christians dont follow that
rule and taint the word of god by judgeing people
and ithink thats what cause alot of people to be
so contraversial abot christianity it seems that
all the religions have the same base kindness
and there is always a leader or messiah so in
truth i cant judge your religion because in many
ways its like mine

Thank you
well, u cant be a christian if u believe in evolution.
i mean the bible says God created man, not God created a single celled organism which eventually evolved into every living thing on the planet.

Actually the bible is full of metaphors and it says in the bible we were created from dirt possibley a metphor for simple components so i believe those components so well put were tiny microscopic organisems that were used in evolution to create us,human beings--- “The last enemy that shall be destroyed is Death”- 1 Corinthians 15:26

yes i believe by dirt it possibly meant that we were made from simple components.
but thats not evolution, evolution is one species transitioning into another. and it is clearly written in the bible that we were made seperate from animals.

it didnt finish all i was going to write,it like
deleted the “tiny microscopic organisems that
were used in evolution to create us,human beings”
part it did not save that in my post so i looked
like and idiot lol,but yah i believe that you
cant disprove god with evolution you cant
disprove our prove him,i just believe That he
exists however hard it is,But you see there is
nothing wrong in not believeing in god,it just
makes me sad that i think your going to
hell and i hope that anyone who doesnt believe in
god should not be atheist i just think its stupid
to be hopeless they should believe in somethin
wheter it be islam,buddist or anything else but i
love christianity its one of the religions with
the deepest roots--- “The last enemy that shall be destroyed is Death”- 1 Corinthians 15:26
well, no u didnt look like a idiot. i think by dirt it just meant like atoms and shit u know. i mean when humans die their bodies turn to well dust. were just dust and water.
and like i said in my previous post the bible says humans were made seperate from animals. and even animals were made seperate from each other. and plants too.
