Can a christian be a buddhist?

[ProverbsInPink]

Yes.

1 John 1:3-10 - If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.

That was a sermon to those who had not yet turned to Jesus.

If God cleanses us from all unrighteousness,as the text says,how are we still unrighteous sinners?


1 John 3:6 No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him.

1John 3:9
No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God.

[Big Boy Johnson]

how are we still unrighteous sinners?

Because some of you people keep going back to sinful behavior which causes you people to reap corruption

Galatians 6:7-8 (see Gen 8:22)
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

If one claims we DO reap corruption when we sin, then they are admitting they do not believe OSAS / Eternal security doctrine (and sadly many of their friends will forsake them!).... and if one claims we DO NOT reap what we sow, then according to Gal 6:7, that would be mocking God!

Adam and Eve were given eternal life by the Lord when He created them... but when they sinned against God they became corrupt and died spiritually and became separated from God. So Gal 6:7,8 is quite the quandary, quite the state of uncertainty and perplexity for the adherents of OSAS doctrine.

 

[Big Boy Johnson]

No one born of God makes a practice of sinning

That's what they claim - sinning every now and gain is not "practicing" sin

They say this because they are being led by devils who claim they will not die (separation from God) is they sin

2 Peter 2:20
For if after they have escaped the pollution of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

Romans 8:13
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
(NOT in our own strength - see Philippians 4:13)

2 Corinthians 13:5
Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

If OSAS was actually true, the Lord wouldn't be saying what He says in 2 Corinthians 13:5 and these other scriptures wouldn't even be in God's Word!

Here's another one that wouldn't be in God's Word if OSAS were actually true:

1 Corinthians 9:27
But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

It is correct to say that there are no gods in Buddhism. Those Buddhist temples with idols are not true Buddhism.

Eternal Salvation is true.
If not,by that yardstick of verses,Paul died damned.

You people?
You separate yourself from Christians.

If sinning revoked Salvation, it doesn't, there wouldn't be a Christian,you,me,any,on this forum who is Saved.

 

[Big Boy Johnson]

Eternal Salvation is true.

Actually it's doctrines of demons

If not,by that yardstick of verses,Paul died damned.
Romans 7
Romans 8

The answer to Romans 7 is Romans 8

Romans 7 man is not a born again Christian
We know this because Romans 7 says he is sold under sin.

The false teachers love to claim Romans 7 man is a Christian because they all like their excuses for dabbling in sinful behavior like porn, drinking the booze, smoking the devil's lettuce, trading in their wife for a younger model with bigger boobs, lying, cheating, teaching false doctrine, etc, etc.

All the eternal security people engage in sinful behavior because they actually believe the devil's like that doing sin does not separate them from the Lord (spiritual death)

That;'s the exact same thing the devil told Adam and Eve and he's still spreading that same lie around today

 

[ProverbsInPink]

Actually it's doctrines of demons

You just said the above in quotes about Eternal Salvation?

Eternal Life in Christ is Eternal Salvation.
Is that doctrine of demons?

 

[Big Boy Johnson]

Eternal Life in Christ is Eternal Salvation.
Is that doctrine of demons?

Eternal life is ONLY applicable to those who abide IN Christ.

The way it's taught in churches to day is actually doctrines of demons as they claim one can live in sin and still be saved.

That was satan's message to Adam and Eve in the garden was they could sin against God and not die spiritually (separation from God).

The old devil has taken this teaching mainstream as this is what most churches teach and it's not biblical.

We are called to walk after the Spirit, and those who go back to walking after the flesh are back under condemnation:

Romans 8:1
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Romans 8:13,14
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

It's high time to leave the false doctrine behind and start going by what God says in His Word.

I don't think ,going by that post,you can direct me or any Christian in how to live as one of God's Elect when you think we can fall from the hand of Jesus.

He says we will never be cast out. The King of Kings knows the meaning of,never. And He means it.

You know what's weird?
We're in His eternal irrevocable covenant of eternal Salvation. And yet some of us argue, it isn't that at all.

Weird.

Can a christian be a buddhist?

Are those two religions compatibles? Morally or theologically?

Hello Arkangel, the two leaders of these two faiths (in this case I'm referring to the Lord Jesus Christ and the 14th Dalai Lama) both say "no" to your first question (1. The Dalai Lama reluctantly admitted this to a pesky reporter at an ecumenical conference in Switzerland a few years back, that the two faiths, while holding a number of things in common, as most religions do, are, nevertheless, "not harmonizable", and 2. we have the Bible as the record of the Lord Jesus' teachings about this from when He walked among us as a man .. e.g. John 14:6).

Unfortunately, this is a blind post (however, I hope to return this evening and read through it), so if this has already been discussed here, I apologize.

Acts 4​

12 There is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.​

Yes, some did already say that Buddhism and Christianity are not compatible.

 

[soberxp]

Can a christian be a buddhist?

First, you should learn the book of buddhist yourself, cuz man made doctrine often different from what the book teaching you.

Second, find the word same with the word of God in the book of buddhist, what you need to learn is "logos", does not need to became a buddhist, if you don't want to become Christian X buddhist.

True Buddhism has no concept of idols or gods,but To follow the truth with a selfless mindset—perhaps only Jesus Christ in this world has attained such a realm.

 

[Big Boy Johnson]

Yes, some did already say that Buddhism and Christianity are not compatible.

But under forum rules a buddist can still come here and deceive Christians as long as they claim they are Christians too right?

That's going to be a wide open door for false teachers on forums that have the rule that states as long as someone claims they are a Christian nobody can tell them they are not.

Before long (if it's no happening already) there will be satanists claiming to be "christian satanists" just do they can get on Christian forums and spread their deception.

Kinda like those claiming to be "white witches" who only use witchcraft for good who also claim to be christians or those claiming to be "gay christians"

 

[ProverbsInPink]

Of course. Though a real Buddhist wouldn't do this.
Yes,there are those who aren't Christian here and claiming they are. Their purpose is to cause havoc and insult the faith.

The OP is a former Muslim...he just came to believe in Jesus early this year and has some questions.

 

[Matthias]

The OP is a former Muslim...

I know. My question wasn’t directed to him, nor to anyone in particular.

So, why would a Cristian ever want to be a Buddhist? There’s only one reason I can think of, but there may be others.

[Debp]

I don't know. Jesus Christ gave (and gives) me peace so no need to search for that. Also knowing the Bible, Buddhism is completely different teachings.

 

[Matthias]

I don't know.

That’s fine. Maybe someone else will have some thoughts on the matter to share with us.
