Anybody wanna correct my thinking?
Originally posted by despondent:Going by ur premises...faith, gd works And may I add, a r/s wif God. In Christianity, u cun go heaven without tat r/s.
Similary,
without a r/s with Allah or the Skih God, YOU cannot enter the muslim heaven or sikh heaven.........
Same like christianity.
Believe in Allah equals a r/s wif him? That's nt the Christian definition of r/s wif God. The bible records tat even the demons believe on God so does tat mean they have a r/s wif Hod?

despondent,
1. I have TOLD YOU BEFORE, YOUR UNIQUE POINT in the religion DOES NOT MAKE IT MORE TRUE. EVery religion has its own UNIQUE point.
Desperately trying to find some unique points of your religion?
So shall i also point to you the unique point in Islam is to acknowledge Muhammed as the last prophet, if not you wont be saved? and that Allah is One, not triune?
Originally posted by Demon Bane:Anybody wanna correct my thinking?
no thats not trinity in Buddhism. its different. Buddhism is taking refuge in buddha, dharma and sangha. I am not sure if you can even call this trinity.

excuse me,
mind your words.
who are you referring to as demons? Please refrain from using such words when we talk about other religions
Also,
I have TOLD YOU BEFORE, YOUR UNIQUE POINT in the religion DOES NOT MAKE IT MORE TRUE. EVery religion has its own UNIQUE point.
Like I've said earlier, religions are like different exclusive clubs...whereby only the members are "saved"....and can go to their respective Heavens...
M I have told I b4 tat I mean this to be MY OWN WAY of determining the correct way to heaven. If demon bane n jacky can understand tat it's MY OWN WAY, y cun u?
Jesus himself said even the demons believe in God n trembled. Who said it? Jesus said it as the bible records. Not me

Simlarly, I am trying to LET YOU KNOW THAT -
1. Sikhism, Islam, Hinduism and Christianity all are by FAITH AND WORKS.
2. A unique point in a religion doesnt make it more true. ALL religions have unique points.
E.g Christianity - God is trinity, Islam - God is One unit, Hinduism - Believe in Lord Brahma and do good

I'm not talking about the Trinity in Buddhism....some of my buddhist frens pray in the name of the past, present and future buddhas and gave thanks to them....of coz there are so many different schools of buddhism, so maybe we all practice differently...
Am I the bible? I wun dare claim such a title

despondent,
refrain from using the word demons when talking about other religions.
its very unkind.
I never once said your religion is of the demons.
Wad abt salvation by grace? Is tat mentioned in the other religions? U dun have to keep reminding me. I was replying demon bane who apparently wasn't aware wad u n I were discussing regarding choosing my religion.

there are no praying in Buddhism. they must be confused. tell them to read and understand what Buddhism is, then they wont be confused no more.
anyway refrain from talking buddhist stuff here, as this is not a buddhist forum.

EVery religion has its own UNIQUE point.
Example
Christianity - by grace, by faith, by works, by beleiving in jesus
Islam - by faith, by works, by belief that God is one, by acknowledging muhammed is the last prophet
Hinduism - by faith in the Gods, by works
Sikhism - calling, praying to the name of the Sikh God, by faith
despondent,
do you agree EVery religion has its own UNIQUE point.?

Yeap....so u are a happy christian now? I'm happy for you....hope u find true peace and happiness in your chosen belief. I've found my refuge in the Buddha's teachings....and I'm spiritually happy and at peace....Hahaha!
So its wrong for me to quote wad Jesus said in the bible? I was juz pointing out tat to Christianity, believing sun equal having a r/s wif God. Many of the old folks believed in LKY in the past for wad he did for Singapore, does tat equal having a r/s wif him?

It doesn't matter to me cos I view it personally. And since I have chosen Christianity then reaching out is a commandment I shld try to obey. If on the other hand I chose Buddhism, then I wun reach out. I will juz be like demon bane.
To jacky
U obviously haven't following this forum enuff. Ask the older forumers here if they Tink BIC is my clone.
