HiDefine ‘‘valid teachings’’ please.
As for the final destination of Siddartha Gautama, it is for God alone to decide, and as he was born before Jesus came to Earth it is difficult to speculate.
Welcome to CAF!
Their teachings on morality and behaviour are very similar:I would like to know the difference between the teachings of jesus and the teachings of Buddha.
In terms of what you should, and should not, do their ideas are very similar.Does they have the same meanings?
One of the fourteen unanswered questions in Buddhism is the status of the Buddha after he died. Your question is not answerable.Will Buddha be denied by god,although he has valid teachings?
HiWill Buddha be denied by god,although he has valid teachings?
is the alleged spiritual identity of Buddhism and Christianity.Code:The great example of this alleged identity of all human religions
Those who adopt this theory generally avoid the ethics of most
other creeds, except, indeed, Confucianism, which they like
because it is not a creed. But they are cautious in their praises
of Mahommedanism, generally confining themselves to imposing
its morality only upon the refreshment of the lower classes.
They seldom suggest the Mahommedan view of marriage (for which
there is a great deal to be said), and towards Thugs and fetish
worshippers their attitude may even be called cold. But in the
case of the great religion of Gautama they feel sincerely a similarity.
insisting that Christianity and Buddhism are very much alike,Code:Students of popular science, like Mr. Blatchford, are always
especially Buddhism. This is generally believed, and I believed
it myself until I read a book giving the reasons for it.
The reasons were of two kinds: resemblances that meant nothing
because they were common to all humanity, and resemblances which
were not resemblances at all. The author solemnly explained that
the two creeds were alike in things in which all creeds are alike,
or else he described them as alike in some point in which they
are quite obviously different. Thus, as a case of the first class,
he said that both Christ and Buddha were called by the divine voice
coming out of the sky, as if you would expect the divine voice
to come out of the coal-cellar. Or, again, it was gravely urged
that these two Eastern teachers, by a singular coincidence, both had
to do with the washing of feet. You might as well say that it was
a remarkable coincidence that they both had feet to wash. And the
other class of similarities were those which simply were not similar.
Thus this reconciler of the two religions draws earnest attention
to the fact that at certain religious feasts the robe of the Lama
is rent in pieces out of respect, and the remnants highly valued.
But this is the reverse of a resemblance, for the garments of Christ
were not rent in pieces out of respect, but out of derision;
and the remnants were not highly valued except for what they would
fetch in the rag shops. It is rather like alluding to the obvious
connection between the two ceremonies of the sword: when it taps
a man’s shoulder, and when it cuts off his head. It is not at all
similar for the man. These scraps of puerile pedantry would indeed
matter little if it were not also true that the alleged philosophical
resemblances are also of these two kinds, either proving too much
or not proving anything. That Buddhism approves of mercy or of
self-restraint is not to say that it is specially like Christianity;
it is only to say that it is not utterly unlike all human existence.
Buddhists disapprove in theory of cruelty or excess because all
sane human beings disapprove in theory of cruelty or excess.
But to say that Buddhism and Christianity give the same philosophy
of these things is simply false. All humanity does agree that we are
in a net of sin. Most of humanity agrees that there is some way out.
But as to what is the way out, I do not think that there are two
institutions in the universe which contradict each other so flatly
as Buddhism and Christianity.
HiWill Buddha be denied by god,
I agree that this is the main difference between Christianity and Buddhism.I don’t know what God will do to Buddha but i know that Buddhism and Christianity , seeing them as a whole, are totally opposing, the reliance only on oneself in Buddhism and the reliance only on God in Christianity being two opposing teachings.

As for status: Buddha, Krishna,Abraham, Zoroaster, Socrates, Moses and Jesus etc is the same. **

Jesus is NOT the same at all! He created Siddartha, Abraham, Socrates, and Moses.
Hi
You are welcome to express yourself in full; but within the Catholic morality. It is good for us.
Together we learn.
Thanks

Hi
I would suggest a little correction here. Jesus was born very late of Mary; so when he never existed in the first place, in my opinion, he could not create Siddartha, Abraham and Moses; at least to my knowledge, they never acknowledged that they were created by Jesus, a man yet to be born.
Do you believe that Mary was created by Jesus? I don’t think you believe that. You must be a reasonable gentleman, to me.
This is only if you realize.
Together we learn.
Thanks
HiPaarsurrey, Jesus has always existed:
The Gospel of St. John 1:1-3
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him: and without him was made nothing that was made.”
So yes, the Lord Jesus did in fact create Mary.
