Quote:The incident occurred when Jesus was 12. Mary (His mother) and Joseph took Him to Jerusalem for Passover, one of the annual Jewish feasts. Mary and Joseph were devout people, and apparently made the long trip from Nazareth every year. No doubt they had spent many hours with Jesus at home, teaching Him from God’s Word and sharing with Him the uniqueness of His birth.
On this occasion, they became separated from Jesus. When they found him several days later, He was in the Temple listening to the teachers and asking them questions about God’s Word. He told them, “Why were you searching for me? Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?” (Luke 2:49). The Bible then adds, “Then he went down to Nazareth. … And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men” (Luke 2:51-52).
BUT!
BUT!
Now they say that when Jesus was in his teens he became a Buddhist Monk
So the Son of God, teaches his fathers work, then renounces all claims to there being a god, becomes a Buddhist monk (Atheistic religion), where there is no belief in sin, or heaven or hell, and then turns away from that?
Make any sense to you?
People are taking this seriously!
Can't have your cake and eat it too!
Either he was the son of god (Christianity)
Or he was a Buddhist monk who didn't believe there was a god, didn't pray, didn't teach about absence of self and nothing existing, teaching karma, I don't know just seems off to me.
(by the way: Buddhists do not believe in a soul)
Quote:Mankind has no soul or permanence. In Buddhist thought, an individual consists of five skandhas or aggregates. These aggregates are disassembled at death and there is no longer a cohesive unit that can be identified as an individual person.
Quote:There is no savior. There is no grace or forgiveness. The Buddha said he could not help anyone; he could only point the way. One must overcome karma by one’s own merit and works.
Quote:In Buddhist thought, there is no supreme being, no Creator, no omnipotent omnipresent God, no loving Lord over his creation. Ultimate reality is an impersonal void or emptiness (Sunyata). Only the void is permanent.
To a Buddhist, saying that God exists is like saying that the void exists.
Most of what Buddha taught goes against what Jesus supposeldy stood for.
