There are many who believe the gospel of Thomas predates the gospel of Mark. Reason being, the gospel of Thomas only includes what Jesus directly said, zero interpretations included (among other reasons).

Buddhism does not teach about serving a master. Buddhism helps you expand your way of thinking about the world so you can understand why life is the way it is and helps you be more mindful and think more carefully about things which in turn helps reinforce Christian values and teachings. If you read the Bible and the teachings of Buddhism, and not go by what you THINK what Buddhism is, you'll realize they literally compliment the other.

@@akungfujourney4383 thanks but I’ll stay with Jesus! Just Jesus❤️

When I was into new age practices the Buddha was often around. I wasn’t feeling good nor was I doing good, always longing. The moment I broke the strongholds that I was held in from serving Idol’s, peace came upon me like never before. Meditation couldn’t do that, Shaolin karate didn’t do it for me either. I caught demons by worshiping false idols and it was hard. That’s why I personally can say that I cannot serve 2 gods. Jesus is king

@lisahamrick5185 Well, it's a good thing Buddhism isn't a religion then. Maybe you were having those problems because you had a conflict within yourself, but believe what you want. There is no Masster/God in Buddhism. I'm not sure why you think that there is. Buddhism is older than Christianity. Did you know Christianity has some of the most judgmental people, even though it teaches/preaches not to judge? It has morei animosity within its own religion and has more than 45,000 different denominations within it as well, which is more than any other religion out there in the entire world. That's not even a united religion. It's definitely a divided one because even within its own religion, people can't decide which rules and customs to follow. Buddhism has 3 main sects/denominations and is known worldwide as one of if not the most peaceful religion out of all of them. The Bible talks about how you shouldn't argue about the Bible, yet that's one of the most known things Christians love to do is argue that the Bible is real and correct. I myself was raised from 1 year old in Christianity, and I saw its imperfections and contradicting teachings. Not to say Buddhism doesn't have that either, though, because it Mos certainly does, but Buddhism isn't a religion. It's a philosophy. That's why you can study it, and scientists can measure/quantify it. That's also why you can be both Christian and Buddhist because the values and teachings are essentially the same. Christianity tells you what to do, but now how to do it; Buddhism teaches you how to do it part, which in turn helps you be a better Christian. Meditation is prayer, and prayer is meditation. You are literally doing the same thing in both; focusing on something/someone to help you be a better person. 😊

@@lisahamrick5185Buddha is not god or an idol, he is a teacher. The Buddha statue is like the cross in Christianity. The cross isn’t god, it represents Christianity like how Buddha represents Buddhism.

whats the link to your video explaining this?

You lazy

Good. 👍 Those things are wicked. 👎

The same thing happens in my country, Vietnam.

What a limited view you have of existence. 😢

Cognitive dissonance

satanic

No you aren't, you are just a buddhist

Impossible

@@Frazier16 Anything is possible with God, no?

Different terms for spiritual truths

Same here. I feel drawn to orthodoxy and Mahayana Buddhism so I practice both. I also practice from the Taoist tradition. I love all three traditions . ☦️☯️☸️

But a Christian is just a Christian, that's the difference.

buddhism is the doctrine of demons.

Chritianity Buddhism (and some other religions ) have great value to humanity but islam is a hoax, deathpenality and constant lying (by preachers) is the only reason it still exists, mohammed was an unholy criminal and a liar

Thich Nhat Hanh does

@@user-hr3dx1ov3s thank you I'll look into it . 🙏
