As to „rossum’s“ utterance - in the
CATHOLIC CAF 27. July 17:
Whatsoever a Buddhist might consider or say about Jesus Christ, really is of no relevance at all!
There are not just „real differences“ between the world’s religions, but all except the Christian Religion are wrong and absolutely nil, except to the two other monotheistic religions, who still stick to the Old Covenant. As they deny Christ’s Deity, these two as well are totally wrong.
Totally wrong too, is your slogan
"The ultimate truth is that there is no Ultimate Truth“ - for God is the absolute and ultimate truth. If you’d be given understanding of Christ’s dogma, then you’d see. But you refuse as Isaiah predicted in Is 6,10 "Blind is your heart, and your ears heavy, and shut your eyes: lest you’d see with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and understand with your heart, and be converted and Christ would heal you.“ Same Christ said in Mt 13,15.
You too are sadly enough absolutely wrong in hanging on to a „religion" without God; - „Buddhism". Terrible! But you too will see Jesus when He asks you, why you refused to believe in Him. What will you answer?
I know your answer: „
Nothing, as I’ll never see Jesus Christ“
Wrong!
Everybody will be judged by Jesus Christ! To Him is given all authority in heaven and on earth Mt 28,18.
Advanced Bodhisattvas can perform miracles? Eh?
Terribly funny. Showmen like David Copperfield can too ;-D
But none of them can feed well over 5,000 by 5 breads and 2 fish with 12 baskets full of leftovers when all were satisfied. Mt 14:17-21. 5.000 men witnessed it. Well over 600 saw Jesus after His resurrection.
You mention
Saddharmapundarika sutra (Lotus Sutra). Others mention other looong names and words, such as
Mūlamadhyamakakārikā you find same as many others in
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C5%ABlamadhyamakak%C4%81rik%C4%81
Even to a Buddhist Monk it’s all a great stew of all sorts of mixtures of pagan religions, false insights and outlooks, gods and anti-gods and the lot.
What a mess of wildly stirred imaginations of ignoramuses and self-appointed experts in meditations. Absolut contrary to Christ’s doctrine, which is clearly understood by all who want to hear: Mt 11,25: …Jesus answered and said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to the little ones.
But your most blasphemous thing you utter here is; that Jesus never resurrected and never died on the cross. Typical Buddhist stupidity. Erich von Däniken wrote such books and made money with these allegations and invented pretences.

Mind that this is a huge insult into the face of God, who in His love redeemed the world abd you! Your one and only chance is to return and repent.
John 3,16: For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting.
I’m certainly NOT trying to persuade you to return to Christianity, as you are informed enough to make your own decision for or against God. But I tell you, you’ll ne horrified about your absolutely wrong decision! Any Christian will tell you that.
Your sentences like:
„…….Jesus was not a fully-enlightened Buddha. Jesus was approaching the destination, and got many things right, but He had not yet reached the finish. He still had a few lifetimes to go………“
are such distinct, deep and dissipated blasphemy, that any Christian turns away in disgust, not to catch any ugly and God-insulting filth of it.
So Rossum, please don’t answer me! I won’t hear/read any of suchlike stuff!
