A Buddhist Tried to Convert Me

[Song]

Buddhism is false because it promotes work salvation. Buddhists believe that if you meditate enough (a good work) that eventually you will reach a state of Nirvana, which is peace. However, the only way to obtain peace is by having faith alone in Jesus Christ. That is the only way we can reach paradise, a place of permanent peace which is free from suffering. Jesus Christ is the only way to that peaceful paradise called Heaven, to the city of New Jerusalem where there will be a tree in the center with leaves for the healing of all nations. Meditation does not save you! Only Jesus Christ saves you!

EZEKIEL 18:23 Have I any desire, says the Lord God, for the death of a wicked man? Will I not rather that he should mend his ways and live? ( NEB )

A Buddhist came to me and told me about Buddhism with the law of karma. The term ?karma? does not appear in the Bible. Biblically, there is the Law of Reaping and Sowing, which means if you plant bad seeds, you will harvest bad fruit. To put it simpler, if you do bad things, bad things will happen to you in return. That is why the wages of sin is death. Even if you have one sin, you will die. And we all have sin from Adam, the first human. Having good karma or avoiding bad karma doesn?t save you. Only faith alone in Jesus Christ saves you. That?s the only way your sins can be washed away. Because Christianity is all about removing that evil and making you?re body to be glorified, wrapped by the Holy Spirit, so it can be presentable to God, who is absolute holiness, pure perfection.

JEREMIAH 31:34 No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, "Know the Lord," because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. (NIV)



You cannot get rid of sin by doing good works. You cannot get rid of sin by avoiding bad works. The only way to get rid of sin is by being washed by the holy blood of Jesus Christ, that is, simply believing in Jesus Christ so it?s counted on to you as righteousness.

JOEL 2:28, 3:21 And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people ... Their bloodguilt which I have not pardoned, I will pardon.

Here's a sort of pseudo-sequel I've made to this thread here, where I talk about Hinduism

If anyone else wants to use this thread to comment on Buddhism, feel free too!  :friendstu:  I just personally like organizing things this way.
