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

If you really know you won't ridicule Christian mocking others ppl faith. If you can't accept the truth gracefully so be it. Thks

When did I mock Christianity? I only said that my experience with them isn't good. You can't stop me from having this experience right?

If you can't accept my experience I also cannot say anything.

[Ali Imran]

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'm not fixated on labels. I'm willing to stop using the label god when discussing with you. 

But I see Buddhists giving Buddha divine attributes.

Let's put that aside. Why is it important to you that buddhists give Buddha divine attributes?

Thks for the clarity.👍
Sorry for those bad experiences you had. Most likely those you have experienced with is over zealous without understanding of the scripture.
Once again appreciate and thks for your sharing.....

[Ali Imran]

Let's put that aside. Why is it important to you that buddhists give Buddha divine attributes?

It is not at all important to me. I'm just calling out a spade which Buddhists are denying. If you give divine attributes to a man, you are making that man equal to the divine.

I'm confused over the trivialities that you want to pick up. I don't want to use the word divine, otherwise we all have to go to the definition to understand what that means.

I would say that Buddha is able to see the truth. If you call it divine then ALL buddhists will agree on it. Not a single one will deny this. So, what's the big deal?

We are all the same. OYK believes Jesus is divine. You believe Buddha is divine. I believe Allah is divine.

[Blasterlord2]

Not a big deal. 

We are all the same. OYK believes Jesus is divine. You believe Buddha is divine. I believe Allah is divine.

I believe our definitions of divine may be different. Could you define it first?

[RichDad]

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.

Generally speaking, Buddhism is a religion that does not include the belief in a monotheistic creator deity.[1][2][3] As such, it has often been described as either (non-materialistic) atheism or as nontheism,

I know.

The Christians believe in first cause. That means all things were created by a higher power.

Buddhism eschews this belief but does not offer any explanation for why we exist, why the earth is there, why there's a moon. 

It identified the reason for why we suffer and summarized that in the 4NT. This suffering is in our inner self which you can call soul or spirit, whichever you prefer. But it cannot explain why the body suffers from pain due to diseases.

[Oyk]

Not a big deal. 

We are all the same. OYK believes Jesus is divine. You believe Buddha is divine. I believe Allah is divine.

Please do not "drag" me in when your definition of divinity is the ability to perform magic.

Satan can do that.

Spiritual phenomena had been seen in various religions. Unless it comes from God, I'd be blunt here, it's (censored). The Bible warned us to stay away from these....we are to cover ourselves with the armour of God.

[Oyk]

You were mocking away in the other thread.

There's a Chinese saying, dare to say, dare to admit.

Not say liao and dare not admin. Man up, man.

When I was on the topic on pedo, you were squatting there listening and then wrote to a Muslim with a sneer, oh! they do incest! Incest you know! What's wrong with peedo????

You were mocking because we believe that all of us are descendants of Adam and Eve and so, we have to marry one another. If you don't believe there's Adam and Eve, there's no need to say incest to mock. .

No one can explain all these things... yet.

Religions were started to try to answer these mysteries of life but in fact they are just creating a new problem to solve an old one.

Maybe Buddha was right, no one knows so don't ask.

If Christianity is the right one, then why are there so many other religions? The other people are stupid or what? Can't be, right? There are very smart, intelligent believers in all religions. There are also very smart non believers.

I can only conclude that no one knows the answers as of now. Those who say they know are the most ignorant.

If and when Jesus returns and proved to the world he is the creator , then can you say that Christianity is the right one.

You can claim that Christianity has all the answers to life but that is only your claim and belief. It is not a fact. Any one can make claims, no big deal.

[Oyk]

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.

Liar.

Deny through your teeth.

Another Raeesah Khan.

Do you have the balls to say that about Islam to Ali?

Or do you only dare to attack Christians and Christianity which everybody is doing but someone here... let's call him B.... is vehemently denying.

What Muslim Believe about Jesus 

1)Great Prophet, The Messiah 

2)A person is not a Muslim if he doesn’t accept Jesus as great prophet and The Messiah 

3)Born Miraculously to Virgin Mary.She is the only one woman mentioned by name in Quran.As per Quran She was a best righteous woman walked on this earth 

4)As per Quran Jesus was born under a date palm tree while Bible say in a cow stable.Quran give respect to the place of birth.

5)Muslim believe  the miracles of Jesus which he did with the help of Lord in the heaven (in Arabic Allah)

6)As per Quran first miracle Jesus did was addressing the elders and Rabbis from cradle.which is never mentioned in the bible . Quran also tells us that Jesus made miracles by giving life to statues made from clay.

7)Muslim believe He was not crucified and dead.He was raised to Heaven. Will decend at end time 

8)Jesus will descend to Damascus . From there He will march to Jerusalem to fight the Antichrist at end time which we are living in.

9)Jesus will get marry to a woman from grater Syria.He will live over 30 years 

10)When he dies, will be buried next to  Prophet Muhammad grave in Medina mosque.Grave plot has been reserved for last 1400 years.If you google images of Medina mosque, you may find a green dome which is the reserved place for burial.

11)On his second coming, He will not teach anything new.Instead He will emphasise oneness of the God.

12)On his first coming He came to teach only the Israelites

13)When Jesus name (Isa/Esa in Islam ) is mentioned Muslim greet “Peace be upon you”

14) Bible tells us that the Holy Spirit had sex with Mary, and the Quran tells us that the Angel who visited Mary told her that she will bear a son, and he is ONLY informing her of what God has decreed?

15) The  Cristian word  ‘Jesus’ was never mentioned in the Quran. The prophet was called by his name in the Arabic language  Isa  and  other titles and nicknames about 97times in 93 verses.

16) The Qur’an tells the story of his birth in a Surah named after his mother, Maryam, in chapter 19, and it is the only Surah named after a woman in the Qur’an.

17)Jesus was not born on the 25th Dec

Having qualities or attributes of God.

I often see a statue of Buddha, sometimes at a hawker centre. People would sometimes bow to it or some other form of gesture of reverence.

Even though Buddhists will deny Buddha is God, they do treat him like a god.

[Hope]

Define God.

Allah has 99 attributes.please watch the 3.4Minutes video with English subtitles 

[Ali Imran]

No, I would think not.

I'm watching football. Quite exciting match.

There you go. You just answered your own question.

[Blasterlord2]

Too long. But I'm sure it would have mentioned that your god is the creator of the world. Buddha is not, so he's not god. So why should Buddhists worship him as one?

[Ali Imran]

There you go. You just answered your own question.

If you bow to Buddha hoping that you will be blessed, that's not the same as bowing to your parents.

[Blasterlord2]

I am from Theravada Buddhism back ground.
Buddha is not a god.
Creator of the universe is the god. Muslim called him Allah in a uniformity word from Arabia to Alaska to Australia.

[Ali Imran]

Let me tell you the truth, and one that is mistaken by those who do not understand Buddhism. We dun bow to him to be blessed.

Maybe you don't but you cannot speak for the rest of the Buddhists. As I've told you, I know of 1 Buddhist from EDMW who regularly pray to Buddha.
