Buddhism (5 of 7)
Series: Counterfeit
Joey Rodgers
2 Timothy 4:3-4
For the time will come when people will not put up w/ sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 2 Timothy 4:3-4
We're in a series entitled - Counterfeit. The intent of this series is to help us learn about and compare the tenets of the Christian faith w/ those of other major religions/cults. My heart isn't to speak condescendingly or to condemn another faith, but to clarify our differences and to provide us w/ a basic understanding of the claims of each faith.
While there are many differences across the landscape of faith/religion, we all seem to have one thing in common - an innate sense there's something in life bigger than us - there's some higher being/purpose. And this causes each person to at least subconsciously desire to discover and be in a right relationship w/ this God. The problem lies in trying to decipher which way is the right way - if there's a way at all.
Based on the Law of Non-Contradiction - something can't be both true/untrue at the same time in the same context - we learn b/c of the unique differences/beliefs that while we can all be all be wrong; we can't all be right.
Meaning - All roads can't lead to God! So if Buddhism is right then Mormonism, and every other way, is wrong? If Muhammad was God's true messenger, then Charles Russell missed it? But if Jesus is God's only way, truth, and life as He claimed, then there are no other avenues to God.
Today we're going to discuss Buddhism. Buddhism is the 4th largest religion in the world w/ some 488 mil. followers.
Some people who've embraced this philosophy include well-known people like - Steven Seagal, Tina Turner, Sharon Stone, Tiger Woods, Richard Gere, and the Dalai Lama.
