Hi guys, in an outreach of peace and friendship i wanted to share with you this neat comparison of two beautiful religions. I do not intend to start a flame war by creating false accusations that this religion stole from another one or vice versa, i just hope to extend a warm greeting and help others realize how much we have in common whilst humanity constantly builds up barriers towards diversity. Peace and enjoy the site!

I think her question was if anyone has considered the influence of this religion upon Christianity. I do not believe that very many people have considered this possibility.

Buddhism came into being about 500 B.C. and it's missionaries were active in in the time of Jesus and His region. Even if Jesus had incorporated some of it's teachings into His, it doesn't mean that they are wrong....but that they are right.

But Jesus was around before 500 BC. So were His teachings. Each and every teaching of Christ that we see in the NT is found in the OT to one degree or another.

Hi . Since I don't see a question I'd like to ask one, what happened to the Noahidic Hide law that you choose to follow some time ago? I'm sorry if that wasn't you as I may be mistaken.
