I want to be a Buddhist, but I am afraid Jesus will send me to hell
It’s all good, Jesus was a Buddhist.
Religion is trauma based mind control.
>>39255684Each religion is pretty similar to the next one. They all seem to hint at the same thing. The whole no God thing is similar to the verse about God no longer being corporeal after helping out Israel one time. Something about you'll no longer be able to hear or see the Lord but I'm still here in spirit and good luck and all that. Even though I believe if I'm not mistaken, you're not supposed to wish good luck on people.

>>39255684Jesus doesn't give a shit, he dead. Crucified and all that.
>>39255684If you've been truly exposed to the Dharma and you still think that Jesus will send you to hell for following it then I don't think you actually want to follow Buddhism.By the way, to any other buddhistbros ITT. Did /Buddhism General/ migrate to another board or is it ogre?
>>39255684let me just say that Christianity is a get out of damnation card to you, he will cast you out as he doesn't know you. you had no relationship with Him or either other two of the Trinity. let me ask you why you want to chose your religion instead of being destined to one by the laws of nature and order? is destiny not enough do you seek grander knowledge and purpose other than you are the adopted son of God, destined by God to be a Christian, and can be saved by God the Son. if you don't want to be a Christian, you're not one and likely never were. revaluate what Christ did for you. Go get tiny gospel Bible and read it until you can remember every word.
>>39255792> If you've been truly exposed to the Dharma and you still think that Jesus will send you to hell for following it then I don't think you actually want to follow Buddhism.Why?
>>39255811What have you read from the Dharma that you deem as hell-worthy?
>>39255808Are you allowed to read other books too, or are you a Jehova’s Witness?
>>39255835Ceasing to regard oneself as a sinner in need of God’s salvation. Ceasing to honour God as God.
>>39255901>join our cult or go to hell>grrrr u r sinner>others may sin but u must feel guiltySlave cult based on fear/guilt/shame.
>>39255901Ok so you clearly regard Christian soteriology as the only truth, so why the interest in Buddhism in the first place?
>>39255901Is this “God” in the room with us, now?
>>39255684Buddhism as I understand it is a somewhat religious philosophy. You have a decision to make. Why do you believe in a Christian Hell as opposed to, say, the Blue Buddhist Avicii Freezing Hells? Who convinced you that the former is True and the latter isn't? The Christcuck basically and seriously equates Christianity with just a "Get out of Hell Card" and no more. If you don't believe in the Avicii Hells then why should you believe in the Christuck Hell? It's just Christcuck FUD to stop you from realizing that the Christcuck Hell isn't real either. It's a "Step on a crack, break your mother's back!" tier threat and nothing more. It's not a "warning", it's a threat! You don't need either him or what he's proselytizing. Here's a free card, laugh at it and move on!
>>39256101I ain’t savin that damned pic
>>39256183I don't care if you save it.
Attachment leads to suffering.
>>39256101You're free to believe what you want. But I think you're throwing away the baby with the bathwater. I'm agnostic about buddhist hell, but I also think believing that it's just a story device to control the morality of brainlets that can't get into the more sophisticated teachings is just as myopic. Unless, of course, you believe all religions is bullshit altogether.
>>39255684Im a Buddhist, I'll give you thr run down on him (from my sects perspective):1)Jesus was a Buddha, that is to say he achieved non-duality, oneness, source, Godhead (whatever you want to call it), (proof: "1 became 2 what will you do" Gosepl of thomas) to such a degree he could basically make it much much easier to reach enightenment with his presence alone.2)He was a (what we call) Tong-len master, in that he could take other peoples negative karma onto himself and transmute it into positive karma. 3)he could do miricle powers which means he mastered the 4th Jhanaic trance. Now Ive seen blatant miricles done by high level monks (I mean indisputible Jesus stuff), but if learn miricles they follow fundamental laws of reality and its not magic (quantum tubials in the brain perhaps) its not that impressive, plus people know what their reality is, fucking with that and you'll get crucified.4)hes water element, a pisces, so his symbol is naturally a fish. Meaning he appeals to right brain emotional people.
>>39255684Do what you feel is right dude.
>>39255684Do you think such a being, as described as he was, forgiving, loving and more a less a bastion of kindness in the western world - would be that irrational to send you to hell because you practiced some Buddhism? If anything he would encourage it if means you're on the path to self improvement.
>>39255684Jesus was an offshoot buddhist and hell isn't a place unless you make it. Next.
>>39255684Jesus and Buddha are best buddies.
Jesus doesn't send people to hell. He does the exact opposite of that, actually
>>39255684>I wantsee that's where you fucked up
>>39255684Jesus was a man. And buddha was also a man. Why do you only want to follow men?And yes, worshipping anything other than God gets you the bad ending.
>>39260737thank you very much for you conribution mohammad>islam is #1 because it's so easy to understand!yes yes the divine mysteries should be simpleI know, don't worry about it
>>39259712
>>39255684Dw Anon, be as buddhist as you want, I will make sure you land in hell anyway.
>>39260856> contribution*> ">islam is #1 because it's so easy to understand!"that's not are argumentpathetically weak strawman you faggotWe Cannot understand Godbut he reveals to us what we can comprehend and contemplate uponGod's apparent Nature is Comprehensible as he's given us logic, emotion and moralityto say god can be a man is a contradictionno different to saying the one true god is a ratjust because that doesnt make sensedoesn't mean we are claiming we can fully know godIdk why I bother sometimesthe deaf can't hear, even if we shout.
>>39255684Thou shalt have no god before me and do not blaspheme the holy spirit, buddhism(generally) doesnt require you to worship an entity especially at the level of god nor does it require you to blaspheme. Not that i believe in either but internally i dont see what the issue is
jews have no power over buddhists, which is why they love to subvert buddhism
