[Ali Imran]

Sorry you're wrong. I have never treated Buddha as a god. I'm serious.

Hey man. 

That was fast.

Anyhow, do you believe in the higher spiritual realm taught in Buddhism? If you do, where do you get this info from?

[Blasterlord2]

Hey man. 

That was fast.

Anyhow, do you believe in the higher spiritual realm taught in Buddhism? If you do, where do you get this info from?

Yes, of course. I get this from the sutras. Pls dun ask me to prove its veracity. You believe you believe, you dun believe it's fine with me.

[Oyk]

Falsify? You mean disprove? If I can do that  , then I will be God himself.

The onus is on each of you to prove it.  Not for someone to do the opposite.

You didn't get my original logic.... you all can't be all right but it is unlikely that 1 is right n the rest are wrong. It makes no sense.

Btw, Buddhism is not deemed a religion cos there is no God or creator.  It is a way of life.

One of the six realms taught in Buddhism is the god realm.

A way of life is about traditions and customs that we refer to for our life in this world.. When it touches on life beyond the one in this world, that's religion. Buddhism isn't so simple as trying to exterminate desires to eliminate suffering. It is a religion any which way you want to see it.

[Ali Imran]

Yes, of course. I get this from the sutras. Pls dun ask me to prove its veracity. You believe you believe, you dun believe it's fine with me.

Okay. I won't question the veracity.

The sutras came from the teachings of Lord Buddha, correct?

[Oyk]

Yes, of course. I get this from the sutras. Pls dun ask me to prove its veracity. You believe you believe, you dun believe it's fine with me.

Were your sutras translated into Pali or Sanskrit from cave carvings? 

[Ali Imran]

Were your sutras translated into Pali or Sanskrit from cave carvings? 

Please don't mock their faith. 

This is why people don't like Christians. They disrespect other people's faith.

[Oyk]

Okay. I won't question the veracity.

The sutras came from the teachings of Lord Buddha, correct?

Both your Muhammad and his Siddhartha need Jesus.

[Blasterlord2]

Of cos.

[Oyk]

You didn't tell him that when he said the Bible was a complication of cave carvings. You sure speak with a fork tongue. Your mother taught you to speak like that?

[Blasterlord2]

That is why I said before that my experience with christians is very bad. They dun seem to live up to thier god's teachings.

You deserve it. I was giving you back what you said.

You even mocked us saying we do incest.

Obviously another bastard whose mother didn't teach him... 

[Ali Imran]

Of cos.

So you believe Buddha has divine attributes like he can see into the future or that he knew about things nobody else knows. These are divine attributes which are usually ascribed to God.

So, even if you don't say Buddha is God, you treat him like one. 

I met one Buddhist in EDMW who prayed to Buddha, even though he also said Buddha is not god. But when you pray to a being, you give that being the attributes of a god.

[Ali Imran]

You didn't tell him that when he said the Bible was a complication of cave carvings. You sure speak with a fork tongue. Your mother taught you to speak like that?

Sorry. I didn't see him mocking your faith and he wasn't speaking to me.

Buddha has divine power is his own "problem". I dun care very much for it. Even if he has power does not mean that he's god. He's not the creator of this universe nor can he change our karma.

You've mistaken paying respect for "praying". True Buddhists will know that there's nothing to pray to, since we know that he can't change our karma anyway. So praying is really a wrong word to use, if it means that I must either thank him for everything, or ask him for favour.

[Oyk]

Sorry. I didn't see him mocking your faith and he wasn't speaking to me.

I don't know if that "sorry" is a sincere apology or just a sarcastic way to defend yourself. Given your own background as a mocker of Christianity and Christians, I would take it that you are lying... 

[Blasterlord2]

Sorry. I didn't see him mocking your faith and he wasn't speaking to me.

I've never mocked his faith but he wants to put words into my mouth. He twisted what I said and then kept repeating it until it seems like I have indeed said it. I've disengaged him but he still tries to taunt me. No way I'm going to entertain him, not stooping down to his level. 

He has just shown to everyone here what a "good" christian he is.

In short, you believe Lord Buddha has divine attributes therefore even if you don't say it, you are taking him as a god.

Yes, I know there are Buddhists who insist that they don't pray to Buddha but sometimes, when you're in deep trouble and desperate, you can't help but call out to a higher power and the highest power you know is Buddha.

Ok. I'm glad you've learned to cancel out background noise. Yes, treat him as background noise.

So, what is the context of those verses in Revelation about Jesus's 2nd coming?

Have you read your scholars' exegesis?

No, you dun get it. He's not a god and I dun treat him as one. He can have power and he could help you, but it is only delaying your karma to the future. We believe that we reap what we sow, so we accept our punishments. If he can help you cancel your karma, then he will do it for everyone, and there will be no trouble in this world. But he cannot do it.

May I know how much do you know God's scripture and decrees? 
‭Proverbs 27:4-6 KJV‬
 Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; But who is able to stand before envy? 
 Open rebuke is better Than secret love. 
Faithful are the wounds of a friend; But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

https://bible.com/bible/1/pro.27.4-6.KJV
Truth hurts nothing to mocking others ppl faith .Not referring abt quarrelsome Spirit ...... 
Knowing some will putting self interest before others, these you can ignore .....

Maybe you don't like the word god so let's just use the word divine instead.

You believe Buddha is divine. That is faith. You practice what Buddha taught. That is religion.

You are still trying to run away from showing evidence of the scholars you mentioned. I shall let you off the hook because I believe you want to stay alive to continue with that mocker who scoffed at us committing incest.

You continue with him. I have a feeling you're gonna get minced.

I already told you. A challenge must come at a price. If I show you the scholars, will you then admit you're wrong about me?

He said he'd been to Israel and the Bible is a compilation of cave carvings.

Given the bible's thickness it would take more man years to interpret those carvings and translate them to Hebrew or Aramaic or Greek than to find out how much Singapore's reserves are.

Considering that somehow the compilation of those cave carvings was completed in record time, it has to be a miracle no less.

I've never denied that it's faith. Whether you want to call it a religion or not is ok with me. I'm not bothered by it. It doesn't change the substance of what's taught. Why get so fixated with labels?

I know enough, at least its essence. What's the point of quoting from the bible to me?

Lol!

A Muslim can never win in a debate with a Buddhist.
