Christianity and Buddhism

Christianity and Buddhism

We are now at the corner of human history,people all know the Doomsday,regardless of Christian or non-Christians.It was several years ago when hurricanes and tsunamis had passed by,a survivor was touching his head saying,is this the end of the world or not?In the Wenchuan Major Earthquake,so many villages disappeared in a flash,the two thirds of China'a land was shaking,as it is written:Therefore I will make the heavens tremble; and the earth will shake from its place at the wrath of the LORD Almighty, in the day of his burning anger.(Isaiah 13:13)A survivor who had not went back from frightening said:Oh God,is it the Doomsday or not!Thus clear how cruel the Doomsday will be.However besides Chiristians,rare people know about where the theory of the end of the world came from?And what is going on with the end of the world?Humans even faced the Judgement with a way of misunderstanding and escapement,how dangerous it was!Here today,I will make a comparation between Christianity and Buddhism,to make people better recongnize the truth.Here I do not have any prejudice,as an folk saying:No comparation,no separation.If a person only prisons himself on a tiny circle,he will become a frog in a well.The truth does not afraid of the light,in order to rescue a lost China,I apply the Christians,Buddhists and people from all circles,holding with a honest heart,be together with me to cognize the history,realize the history and understand the history,so that we could be saved at the period of time the Judgement is approaching.
Chinese people were from God
He who is famaliar with Chinsese history will know that,for two thousand and five hundred years from Emperor Yan&Huang,through Emperor Yao,Shun and Yu,straight to Dynasty of Xia,Shang and Zhou,it was always a basic theme for Chinese Nation to fear of God.Our ancestors were certain about that,they did have a root of blood relationship from God.In was written in Chinese earliest books <Shangshu(The Book of History)> and <Shijing(The Book of Songs)> that:The Chinese people are from God.In the news of Xinhua in April 28th,1999,it was written:The gene research has proved that,the Chinese are not an evolution of Peking Man,but an offspring of human's single origin.The respected teachers such as Laotsi,Confucius and Menci etc,though they had founded their own theories,and contended with wach other,yet their recongnizitions with the exsistence of the Great Word of the Heaven were so matched.The Bible says:In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.And he created the heavens and the earth when it was formless and empty.Laotsi said:The Tao created beings from none,it was the beginning of the heavens and the earth,and it was the mother of all creatures.Plus he said:Why people thought Tao as important?Wasn't it because in the Tao,people could find by searching,and could be remitted in their sins?So the Dao is the most precious in the whole world......
However since Spring and Autumn Period which lasted for 500 years,China has been totally changed.No longer there were respectful prayers and songs,and no longer there were pureness and elegance,and unscrupulousness,bloodings and killings with each others were everywhere.Mo-tse said:The root of that the world  has been totally ruined,is the change that all people begin to disbelieve in God.The ancient people feared of God,and were only deeply afraid of their children's carelessness and slightness,so they wrote on bamboos and silks,and carved on golden stones,with their repeatedly exhortation,they had never thought about the result that their offsprings regard blaspheming God as a joy.The ancient people called God Heaven,Heaven  had no form,we could even imagine by our human mind,the Heaven is limitedly huge.
However nowadays the Chinese say,God is a weatern god,Christianity is a foreign religion,what the Chinese people believe is Buddhism.Actually it is Chinese people's ignorance,we Chinese all know that there's a Heaven God,and that is the Lord of the whole universe.Once I went to Wenchuan with a sister to preach the gospel,the people there thought of Christianity as a weatern belief,they said Buddhism was the belief of Chinese.I asked him,whom will you ask for if there's no rain when you plant?He said asking for Heaven God.Then I asked him,is there a Heaven God in Wenchuan?He answered with a certain tone,there is.And I replied now that there is a Heaven God in Wenchuan,God is your Wenchuan's God!It was the Buddhism that brought from India.The Buddhist doctrine says:Buddhas are all humans but not gods.Sakyamuni was born at 561 BC,he was an ordinary human-being bringing deep sinfulness as same as us.The Buddhism says:The Buddha ia a real equalist.Of cause,they are creatures as us,how could it be unequal?However what Buddhism acts is not real equality.It was because Buddhas were rather human-beings but not gods,yet the Chinese people worshipped the Buddhas as gods,so Guan Yifu used to speak to Emperor Zhou Zhaowang:In ancient time,human was human,God was God,and humans were not mixed up with God,so the world was in peace.Yet the later ones arrogated God,and regarded huamn as god,bringing endless disasters.There is only one truth.Since Spring and Autumn Period,China first dropped in to the evil dragon's hand,then Buddhism was brought from India to China(Why there is a Chinese speaking:A deep disaster-ridden China)The Buddhism doctrine says:The human nature is merciful,so long as one put down his sword,he will be able to be a Buddha.However,was it reality?For two and a half thousand years,has on China's land reflected the mercy of human nature?or as what the Bible says:The heart of huamn is deceitful above all things and beyond cure.Wu Zetian stretched the authority,and she said herself was possesed by Bodhisattva,this female-emperor who was possesed by Budhisattva,did her experience of stretching authority reflect the mercy of human nature?or did it perform the sinisterness and viciousness?For two thousand years,has the Chinese children put down their swords,and become Buddhas?or gotten blood of their relatives or compatriots on their hands?Only in mordern history,in the cival war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party,there were tens of millions fellow countrymen died,so many people were persecuted in the Cultural Revolution,and so many youth college students were killed in the June 4th Student Movement?A China lost the Great Word of the Heaven,people are all as cruel as they want,and as despicable as they could.The two and a half years' history of Chinese Nation,was going through by killing each other,this was a true historical fact.Therefore Sun Zhongshan(Sun Yat-sen) said:The deeply severe problem in past three thousand years,is that the countrymen had never gotten the truth.They has aways worshing those should not be worshipped,yet did not worsh that should be worshipped(Sun Yet-sen was a Christian,he must had a knowlege about Buddhism.Between Christianity and Buddhism,which one is larger while which is lighter,such a obviously clear matter,yet the Chinese could not understand).Knowing rare about the Word,how could they be supposed to put it into acts?Plus Sun Yet-sen said:The root of a nation's founding should begin with heart,to clean the old to bring in the fresh,human should know about God.
Humans are in suffers
A Buddhist said:As the ancestors of human-being obeyed the commandment of God,they were kicked out of the Garden of Eden by God.Why after the ancestors sinned,human-beings should suffer for what they had done?Here one point wil be confirmed first,human-beings are in suffers.In those days it was for Sakyamuni saw human-beings were in suffers,so that he went out of the palace,to search for a way to rescue people out of suffers.Though nowadays the Buddism regards Sakyamuni as god,at the same time they emphasize,humans should experience hard practices to be saved.The Buddhism doctrine says:The Buddhas could not make us escape from suffers,cause Buddhas were not born with knowledge.The monks are more clear to know,the goal for their hard practice is to get rid of suffers,and to go into the highest level.For this reason,they even did not kill a mosquito when it falls to their bodies to bite and suck their blood.However,what is the Buddihsm's highest level about?That is,when the flesh is corrupted,the spirit will be become flesh again.Because being a human was so hard,to practise in order to be nomore human again,and to get eascaped from suffers,the Buddhism calls it Nirvana.Yet the Bible says:There is not a righteous man on earth who does what is right and never sins.Even there's someone really practise hard and get the nirvana,but humans are still living in suffers.Sakyamuni's Buddhism is not capable to rescue people out of suffers,that is a real fact.People are in suffers,just as illed men,you could only get cured by getting a right medicine.If humans do not know what is the root of disasters and suffers,but go searching around doctors blindly with ill,that will not only couldn't cure you sick,but exacerbate your suffers.It's real,China's history is the best testimony.Sakyamuni saw people in suffers,that was a objective fact.Yet why the ancestors sinned,so that human-beings were all in suffers?Here we should know one point first,what was the sin of the ancestors?It was obeying the commandment to eat the forbidden fruit,wanting to be equal as God.The Tree of Good and Evil was a position,humans might not go across the position to be equal as God.Why God had to lay down the Ten Commandments?The first and second article of the Ten Commandments were:Do not worship any other god;do not make cast idols.Yet the Buddhism taday,isn't it casting idols for itself,regarding humans as gods,and obeying the commandment of God to eat the forbidden fruit as what their ancestors did?Because of the sinning and falling of the ancestors,humans had dropped into sins and could not get out of it,this is the reason for humans' suffers,it is real.Today at the time  the Judgement is approaching,God reasserts the Ten Commandments again,as it is written:Because he will save his people from their sins.(Matthew 1:21)
God is the foundation of the world   God is the prime power of the universe
Many Buddhists do not understand,why Christianity is so exclusive?Actually Buddhists ask this question,it is because they do not understand Christianity.I am a Christian,and a preacher,but I never be against with some bellow Christians going to know about other religions,as Sun Yet-sen said:Arguement could only make the truth of Christianity brighter,cause no comparation,no separation.Buddhists all know that,the Buddhism created by Sakyamuni is basicly an atheism,thus Sakyamuni had never said he was a god,it was several hundred years later that he was made god by human,this is a historical fact.For this reason the Buddhists are always saying with proudness:It is only Buddhism that does not treat itself as a God beyond.Sakyamuni never said he was a god,it was because he did was not.Duing to Sakyamuni's limitedness and proudness,he could not see Lord the Creator,so that he said there was no God.However,the Bible was the words of God,and was historical facts.Thus the first proclaimer in Genesis of Bible was:In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth!Today God gives the great salvation of his return,this salvation is matched with the prophecies by the prophets in the Bible.In recent years there were unusual disasters and criss occuring over nations,these phenomenons satisfied what the Bible says,at the same time,they were matched with the New Word God gives us today.All these things have manifested God's creation,authority and wisdom.Because he is God!All the acts God did since ancient time were fairly substantiated(X),so that men are without excuse.Mohammed of Islamism called himself the highest prophet,yet the heartless history has made a righteous judgement!The false could not be the truth,and the truth could not be the false.The act of Mohammud was the best testimony.
Some Buddhists said:Why Christians speak so certainly that God is the Creator as well as everlasting true without looking into it.Acctually it was not Chritians didn't look into,oppositely for the past two thousand years,there was no second book as the Bible that be divided,researched,prohibited and slandered by humans.Is there any class of philosophy,religion,phychology,poetries or books of classicl or modern style has experienced so much group attackings,and been so visiously critiqued?and been thoroughly destroyed?Peopl even would not let off any tiny paragragh,any line even each character easily.However,the Bible could bear all discussions and questions,the new discoveries in archeology,have proved again and again lots of tiny pieces of the Bible,making humans recognising that the Bible is the best material for studying humananity history.
So many people and affairs have been cleaned out and been forgotten in the long river of history,yet the Bible is aways standing firm.The grass withers and the flower fades, But the word of our God will stand forever.The Chinese ancient scholar Lao-tse used to say:The Dao created beings from formless and empty,it was the beginning of the heavens and the earth,and it is the mother of all creatures.The Tao is the Lord of all beings,it is good men's jewelry,and sinners's mediator.Moreover Lao-tse laid:In ancient time,why people thought of the Dao as important?Wasn't it because in the Tao,people will obtain by searching,and been remitted in their sins?"Tao"(Word) was a belief expression what ancestors called God the Creator of Universe.It is written in Bible:If anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.(John 8:51)The modern ahcheology master Scheirs said:Today if anybody still has any doubt about the Bible,this man must be very ignorance and proudness,or he must be a half ass in scholarism.So many people started to do research in the Bible because of their doubt,and spent their time studying the Bible,yet the result was,they bowed themselves down before God,prasing for God's wonders and mighty power.The Bible is so real.Once a knight who was a scholar vigorously against the Bible,in order to prove the falsehood of the Bible,he lead a big group himself,according to the sequence written in the Acts,particularly went to explore and textually research for fifteen years.Finallly he had no choice but to admit that,what Ruke wrote were absolutely accurate,then he publicly proclaimed that the Acts was an authorrity of geology and Asian society and ancient system.Modern human secience,archeology and ancient Chinese history all have evidences of iron to prove the authenticity of the Bible.Though there are ill-formed sentences in <Shenzhou> and <Wanderer's Song>,yet they have used sicentific methods and ancient history to testify the Bible,making people inclined to be respectful of God,and also making humans be without excuse.
The essence of what Sakyamuni lessoned was the self-discipline basiced on atheist phychology.Sakyamuni did not believe there was true God,he negated the creation of God.Buddhism says:All things were created by karma,there is no noumenon,everything is nothing.Actually,to be fair and to speak honestly,it was duing to the ignorance of limited human to infinite God.Just take an easy case to tell the implication,Newton was a Christian,he had a very delicate model of the solar system,once turning the crank,all the stars will run as each orbit.Newton had a friend,who always did not believe the exsistence of God.One day,this friend came to Newton's home,and saw this delicate model,he asked Newton:Who's the excellently-skilled craftman having designed and produced it?Newton replied loosely:No one has made it.His friend was deeply puzzled:How would there be no one to make it?Newton asked:If a model must be designed and produced by man,why would the solar system actually running as this model be created by an accidental crash without a disigner and a producer?This friend was tongue-tied for a moment,immediately he came to realize it.Know more about the astronomy,you will be more amazed about the might power of the Creator,so that there are large amount of astronomers who are Christians as well.
Neither Buddhism,nor other religion could prove its historical accurateness,no need to mention that any of them could not prove it was the words of God.Just speak about the Buddhism,it is teaching humans by humans' thoughts,as a result the doctrine of Buddhism is always changing along with times changing.The apearance of "Falungong",is a important feature of Buddhism evolution.Thus the first one to stand up to reject "Falungong" is not the Chinese goverment,but the Buddhism itself.TheBuddhism founded by Sakyamuni,was essentially an atheism,yet the Buddhism at present,has been developped and evoluted steply from the self-discipline and practice of Sakyamuni's atheistic phychology to the worshipping of poly-Buddhism,it is a fact.However,how will the evolution of Buddhism explain the atheism of Sakyamuni?Adn how to explain the theory of pramana and idealism of Buddhism?Actually speaking,human is human,the Buddhas are men but not gods,so that the doctrines of Buddhism are not only comlex,but also always in changing,as they are books written by humans.Sakyamuni was born at 561 BC,regarded hard practice as the truth to teach people.However,becoming flesh two thousand years ago,God coming down from heaven said:I am the way and the truth and the life.We could realize it even with our human mind that,Sakyamuni is a human-being,how could he be regarded as god?At the same time,the Christ was God from God,and was the true light from the true light,thus he said:I and the Father are one.Lord Jesus became flesh through a virgin,several hundred years before Lord Jesus was born,the prophet gave the prophecy saying:The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him God is with us.The Lord Jesus went to the Cross,and was raised from death after three days,revealing that he was the son of the Eternal God,and the saviour of human-being!Today according to the Bible,the Christ gives the the great salvation of his return,which has proved the X of the Bible,and the wonderfulness and greatness of God.Through the revalation God gives,we could see that,God is ont only by wisdom,but also by power to keep and rule all creatures,the foundation of this world is God!
The Bible is God-breathed,it is a book which has the largest amount of publishment,and a book that been translated earliest into other languages,and that has largest number of translations.For three thousand years,the Bible has been published again and again,yet with no word changed,as Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.(Hebrews 13:8)The fourty writers of the Bible,were not only in diffirent ages,but differ in their cultural backgrounds and writing enrionments,but what's amazing was that when the sixty-six books were compiled together,these works which crossed over more than sixty generations,and largely differ from each other in styles,were matched with each other in front and behind as one from.Not to talk about the space and time diffirence during a thousand,even works written independently by men in a same times are hardly matched so well with each other.Even the works of a same person,with the time passing by,its viewpoints will be paradoxical.The self-discipline and practice of the Buddhism atheist phychology being evoluted to the worshiping of polyatheism and many spirits,was the best testimony.Yet the special consistency was aboviously done by the Holy Spirit throughout,God is the real author of the Bible.Today God gives the great salvation of return,this epoch-making wonderful act was also so coincident with the Bible published three years ago.I think now the Buddhists shoul understand,why Christianity is exclucive,because God is the Creator,he is the only true God,as well as the prime source of the universe,and the Heaven our Chinese ancestors feared of.
Awaken China in heavy sleep
Napoleon used to say:The essens of the exsistence of God is mystical,I could not totally understand,yet I know one thing,he could satisfy the human heart.Rejest him,the world will become a curious puzzle;believe him,the human history will find a perfect answer.I have a deep sence of this word of Napoleon,which was one of my reasons to preach bravely.I even a bit admire Napoleon,he was not only a excellent strategist,but also owned such a wonderful spiritualily.However the essense of the exsistence of God was nolonger a mystery today,it was not God's narrowness or exclusiveness.Take a example when China restored the sovereignty of Hongkong,the Prime Minister of UK put forward the sovereignty business of Hongkong,Deng Xiaoping said firmly:Sovereignty business could not be taken for a discuss!God is the Creator,the tree of good and evil in the Bible was a position,men may not go across the position to be as equal as God,it was God's sovereignty.For our ancestors ate the forbidden fruit and wanted to be equal as God,the sin came into this world,making humans in suffers duing to their sins.God is the Saviour of human-race,at the time that the Doomsday Judgement is about to come,God gives the great salvation of return.As long as you admit your sin and repent,and believe the New Word of return that God has given us,your sin will be remitted!
The Doomday Judgement is about to come,only God is the salvation of human-beings.For God is love,so he gives the salvation of return,as it is written:How shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation?(Hebrews 2:3)For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.(Romans 3:23)Reject him,you'll reject the life;belive him,you'll get the life,as everyone who believes in him may have eternal life(John 3:15)Because God is the source of human life,as the water of the Yellow River,comes from the sea,and will finally go back  to the sea;humans were from God,and will come back to God,it is a law.Only if humans obey this law,they could break away from the sea of suffering,and return to the wonders that God created man,this is the life in the Garden of Eden.When God's Kingdom comes,when the New Heaven and the New Earth comes,there will be no suffers and worryies any more,everything will be so wonderful.What I said was not vain word,it was all real,and it was the seeing deep in my heart,as what Sun Yet-sen and Napoleon said.
For the sake of the coming of the New Heaven and the New earth,and of rescuing humans,God himself said:Today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.To tear dowm is to plant again.In the end of generations,when I was doing the work of tearing down and planting in the will of God,I became the attacking object of Satan.Santa is strugling to death as a evil wolf,I could still stand alive,and still be able to sound the trumpet of God's Kingdom,it is a miracle of God!I would all men understand,in this moment the Doomsday Judgement is about to come,God is the only salvation.Now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation,whoever calls on the name of God's New Word will be rescued!
Heaven and Hell
Heaven and Hell is a real exsistence.Why should we belive in God?Because life and spirit will never die.Human's breath was from God,finally will be back to him,it is a law.Whoever keeps the law,admit his sin and repent,and believe God's New Word,the great salvation of the return of God will remit your sin,and make you rescued to enjoy the wonders of Heaven.In Heaven there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain,God will wipe every tear from their eyes.Yet for those who obey the law created by God and reject God,is the punishment of hell.The Bible has several times mentioned about the hell,which is a place of everlasting punishment,and a place God pours his wrath,as well as a place of darkness,suffers,weeping and gnashing of teeth,and eternal punishment.The Heaven could not to connected with hell,yet both Heaven and Hell will last forever.Onece a Korean-America saw how real the Heaven is,and she also saw her mother who does not belive in God in hell.(Please read <The Heaven is so real>)In 2006 I met with a sister in RenminRoad Church in Zhengzhou,who was holding a piece of <The hell is so real> text in her hand.It was a testimony of a brother,in the days he "died",his the spirit came out of his body,and saw how gloomy and horrible the hell was......Many people don't wanna listen to such testimonies,they would rather other people don't mention it,yet the hell exsits in reality.The Bible has several times mentioned about the Hell and the Judgement,whoever doesn't believe in God will go into eternal punishment prepared for ghost,while the upright men(who belive in God) will go to eternal life.Though the hell is disgusting and horrible,yet facing the Heaven and the Hell,everyone should make a choice.
The Doomsday Judgement
God created all creatures in universe,and created beautiful earth,everything was arranged so perfectly,then created human and made them live in it.It was love for God to create human,and it was for glory.However,since the ancestors sinned,humans had fell in sins and could not escape from it.When people were enjoying what God gave,they not only din't know to be thankful,yet wanted to compare themselves with God,that was sin.For resuming the wonderfulness God created human in the beginning,God began to rescue humans from the time ancestors sinned.Noah's Ark,Law of Moses(Ten Commandment),Cross Salvation,until today God gives the great salvation before the Judgement,as the Bible says:All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.In Doomsday Judgement God will separate humans apart as his very own,those who believe in God will go into eternal life,yet those who reject God will be completely cut off and go into eternal punishment together with evil,that is the hell.
God is the only salvation of human-being
God is the Creator,he is the only salvation.God loves all,srs since our ancestors sinned,God began his plan for rescuing human.The Cross Salvation has rescued westerners who believe,the history was the best testimony.If we look into the history with an honest heart,from the western which belives in God,through the midst of Islam,to the birthland of Buddhism India,we can see God's glory and salvation.Today more and more easterners have realized a fact that was alway ignored by themselves,that the prosperousness and democracy of the western world which they are running for and following has a indivisible oneness of life with the belief of Christianity which based on God.The Cross Salvation is not the Salvation before Judgement.Today God gives us the great salvation of his return,as long as we admit our sin and repent,leave the evil and follow the good,believe the New Word of God,his salvation of return would remit our sins and rescue us out of suffers.Because of his salvation,men who believe will enter the wonderfulness of his creation of human in the beginning,that is the wonderful life of the Garden of Eden!This is the rightiousness,the love and the salvation of God!This word is believable,is amen!
God deserves the worship and praise of all nations!Amen!
