now that we believe in the love that god our saviour had for us, to give his only begotten son to die for us, we believe in the love that works no ill to us, because we live through his love done for us, and we die by the love of anyone else, as there is harm/ill in anyone elses love for us, as we dont live by it, but we die by it

Romans 138 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.



2 Corinthians 5.14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

i hope you guys don't mind a little preaching to put the doubts right, there is so much sharing of doubt on this entire Christian named forum, lets share some faith together, for a little while.
I definitely don't need Christians with their judgmental attitudes preaching because they disapprove wrongly of what we do in our walk with God. You seem to be awfully arrogant in some of these threads telling Christians what to do or how to act. Maybe pray to the Lord and ask how you can help the poor. Does your closet need cleaning?

No it isn't. The word literally means, "missing the mark". None of the verses you quoted above support what you claim.
Disobedience (sin) is disbelieving . .both are the same word: apeitheo.

the reason we die is because of not having a conscience that god is god, and man is man, that god is life, and man is death, Christ dies for all men because he never sees death we are in an evil conscience without that awareness.


Hebrews 10:22
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.



we have a connection with nature, as man has no advantage over the beasts, all have one breath, all return to the ground, all is vanity.


harm is done on every living creature by denying the one who created us all, we all went into the ark of noah, two by two, all others were drowned, because we are saved by water, the baptism of the holy ghost, in a good conscience that god raised Christ from the dead, without the free gift of the holy ghost from the holy one, we have belief in ourselves and in men, which is the darkened conscience and reason we all died for in the first place.


Ecclesiastes 3:19
For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.


1 Peter 3.9 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.




to love others as we love ourselves is to believe that god is love, to believe that this charity, is not puffed up, does not vaunt itself, because we are aware we needed a saviour and shepherd of the sheep to do that for us, otherwise we are stealing from his name, and replacing his with our own, it is a speech that promotes death to all who hear it, it is immoral, as reprobates deny the only morality is against the antichrist spirit that denies that Christ has come in the flesh, this is an antichrist and a liar, it is being drunken in the night to not watch for Christ with those of the day.

Acts 4:12
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.



1 Corinthians 134 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

2 Corinthians 13:5
Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?


1 Thessalonians 5.6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.


1 John 2:22
Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.


1 John 4:8
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
1 John 4:10
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

1 Peter 2:25
For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
Yes, Christians have their ideas about what the problem is, and therefore what the solution is
Buddhists aren't going to accept as reality many things that Christians believe. We have a different view of reality, what the problem is and therefore what needs to be done.

Maybe pray to the Lord and ask how you can help the poor.
Matthew 11:5
The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

No it isn't. The word literally means, "missing the mark". None of the verses you quoted above support what you claim.

missing the mark of perfection, perfection is believing in Jesus Christ, that is why the verses show we die in our sins, [ of unbelief] if we do not believe Jesus is the Christ, and are damned if we doubt, as what is not of faith is sin.

perfect faith [james 2.22] is when we are not damned/condemned with the world.


James 2:22
Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?



sin passes on all from adam which was condemnation on all men. this is the condemnation , that light, [ Jesus Christ] was come into the world, and men preferred darkness [missing the mark through darkness/ the wicked do not know what they stumble at in the dark/blind leaders of the blind] rather than light, as their deeds were evil. [ missing the mark through not believing in the light]



Romans 512 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

Romans 5.16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.

John 3:19
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

John 12:36
While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

the reality is that light excels darkness, Jesus Christ is light, satan is a false light, its easy, [ for me] to see which light is talking. when satan began talking he began by denying what god says that gives life, when satan talks all we hear from him is death.

That is what Christians believe. We don't have Satan in Buddhism.. bit we have an equivalent being/s called Mara.
If you can stand to listen, heart is a talk about the similarities and differences between Satan and Mara.
It might help you in preaching to Buddhists to have some of this understanding.

Mara is one of many pictures of the imoral women and it is her words that give life to the beast/image ....

the missing of the mark is to believe you are something less than God ...

the bible ...
I haven't found the name Mara in the Bible. You are describing Christianity with Buddhist names.
That is the same as me saying Jesus was a Buddha and treating the Bible as a Buddhist text... It's not really valid.
