  1. Yes


  2. I could be wrong, but from what Ive read...Buddha never preached about the existence of a God who judges. He believed that the soul keeps undergoing cycles of rebirth. They say Buddha was 'enlightened' but what sets the criteria for 'enlightenment' ? Yes, he concluded at some fundamental truths - example - that desire causes suffering etc, but whos to say someone living before him couldnt have come up with the same? Buddha did possess a lot of charisma and personality that attracted followers, but he cannot be placed on the same league as the prophets of Abrahamic monotheism.

    Regarding Moses, Jesus and the old testament prophets, yes. They were messengers of God, who recieved inspiration from God. They werent preaching their own views on the world, but rather what was revealed to them.

  3. No.

  4. BUDDHA?  Now that is just f'ed up if you are going to start claiming OTHER great people who started OTHER religions/traditions/philosophies to be from YOUR god.  THAT I can say honestly pisses me off.  Get off your high soap box and come to terms with the fact that THERE IS NO PROOF OF ANYTHING beyond what we can see and touch and feel.  The only thing we DO know is that EVERYTHING IS HERE.  Yes, we know this.  I know my computer is front of me.  But no one knows WHY the earth came about, no one knows HOW it came about.  No one knows if there is one god, your god, no gods, my gods, someone else's gods, or martian gods out there.  I'm sorry, but to this I'm going to have to say ... in response ....

    Do you believe that the giant spaghetti monster sent various messengers or prophets to different times and civilizations?

    Moses, Jesus, Buddha, etc?

    RAmen!

  5. Yes, I believe that is very possible.  Jesus' teachings mirror those of the Buddha.

  6. Nope.

  7. No Jesus us the Saviour of ALL mankind. No-one else came as a Saviour and no-one else will.

  8. Yes - because with God, ANYTHING is possible!

  9. GODS WORDS WERE GIVEN TO THE JEWS ONLY......A CHOSEN PEOPLE.

    .

    CHRISTIANITY SPEAKS ACCORDINGLY TO THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS AND IN FACT FULFILLS THE LAW AND PROPHESYS.

    .

    ISLAM IS FALSE THOUGH IT HAS SOME  NICE MORAL IDEALS. BUT IT HAS LOADS OF ERROR.....ITS NOT THE TRUTH BECAUSE IT DOES NOT SPEAK ACCORDINGLY TO THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS ESPECIALLY ISLAM DOES NOT ANSWER THE PROBLEM OF SIN.....CHRISTIANITY DOES

  10. No, since gawd doesn't exist, and never existed.

    If you wish to claim that he did/does, please offer your objective evidence for your extraordinary claim.

    No evidence ever offered ? Claim always fails. QED.

  11. Yes, of course. Some were even mentioned in the Bible, but there were far more then just what the Bible gives us.

  12. Jewish Lore as I understand it is that God went to every other nation on earth to offer them the Torah as more worthy than Israel, but that Israel was the only people to accept.

    No, what you're presenting is from the Bahai faith.

  13. No because they had radically different messages. Buddha was a secular man who believed non-existence(not heaven) was ideal.  

  14. most likely!

  15. yes. The ones who wrote the bible. =)
