I’m sure it would seem that way to you since they humor you and tell you that you will be fine as long as you are a good buddhist.
That is not what Catholicism teaches. It teaches that those who believe in Christ will be saved, and that those who reject Christ when Christ is fully revealed to them will be damned. It also teaches that those who follow the light they have will be led to Christ, and it is modest in defining how this happens. That at least is how I interpret the Catholic position.
That is what their priests are teaching on national tv:
Oh right. We’ve discussed your odd faith in the magisterial authority of the Larry King show already.
The Catholic Church teaches what it’s priests teach. If the Church doesn’t stop them it approves them.
Well, that’s Hinduism for you. I prefer Buddhism over it.
The Book of Matthew:
Amen Brother, it is one of the hardest things we have to control in this time,
Well maybe ur right, the buddhist form a very meagre % of our population today and because hinduism jainism and buddhism are all dharmic religions, over the centuries a lot of inter mixing of practises have occured. The buddhist that I know, although buddhist by religion, follow hindu practises more or less…
The catholic church has programmes where priest use the hindu and buddhist meditation techniques to attain peace…
Having lived in Japan a total of seven years prior and now back in Japan again, I notice now in 2009, what I noticed back in 1986 was that religion in general (for most Japanese) is only needed for marriages and deaths. That is the only time religion plays apart of the everyday Japanese life. For the most part they are slaves to their own technology. Try finding a Japanese person without a cell phone in his hand. However, there are quite a few Japanese Christians who give the land of the rising sun hope.“Quite a few”? I though they were around 2% of the population. I’d call that “very few.”
God has already judged this situation. The entire purpose of the bible is to testify to Christ. Christ gave the commission to go into all the world and make disciples of all nations.The Book of Matthew:
1"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
Book of John
1But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. 3The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” 6They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." 8Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.

Only the bible is from God. It was delivered to the Church by the prophets and apostles of the only existing God.
You dodged the question. How can the truth and a lie be identical? How can the same statement be truth when it’s in the Bible but a lie when it’s in a Buddhist text? Isn’t truth always truth?
