Apparently two religions are true, actually more than two


Who would have thought
All of those who don’t believe in the redemption of Christ though belief and faith in his sacrifice are DAMNED to hell.

That is the doctrine of Christianity.

Their doctrine is that sin leads to hell


And everyone is a sinner


Hence they need divine help

Ah let analyze what do you mean by dark kamma?

I said the statement as it is, but your feeling got hurt. You are holding on your feeling as yourself, that means you are personalizing your body as “I”.

How can that be not a blind person? Please answer me, maybe not?

Also let analyze your statements.
you wrote:I am a Christian

Who would have thought
You said you are a Christian, but you use a dark kamma which is a Buddha teaching. So you are like a person that just use random teaching as you like without any knowing. Like mixing random teaching as you like. This also means you are a blind person. Can’t truly see the true dhamma yet.

In Buddha teaching, only one who is fully awaken is the true teacher. There can’t be any other teacher.

Anyway, please don’t personalize your feeling again. As Buddha said in many Sutta.

That is how this entire mass of suffering originates..
Anyway, please look back who are you? A Christian, then follow religiously. A buddhist, then follow only Buddha teaching. Or any others? These need to be hashed out by you.

Gl.
May you be relax, happy, comfortable and free of dukkhas from hearing true dhamma.
May you gain unshakable confidence in Buddha, Dhamma and (Ariya) Sangha.

Let analyze your thinking again. Because you think i delight, but it is just the emoji. One should see emoji is just an emoji.

However your papanca mind is leading you to conclude i laugh at you. But it is still ok. There is nothing wrong. 😅😅😀😀

Again, you are missing the point that you are still attached by your feeling, thinking them as yourself. That is your own suffering.

I just stated AS IS. Problem is you are always replying with nonsensical short answer which you don’t even understand yet.

Anyway, good luck with your mix teaching.

Please don’t quote my reply anymore, if you will get hurt by your own feeling after seeing my reply again. 😅😀

Which sutta is this? Or is it a bible? Ops, the hand is reacting faster than the mind.

The above statement has been edited again. 😅😅
