I'm doing an interview with a Buddhist for a class report and was wondering what you believe in. Some questions you must answer are what your view on a god, or gods is, what you believe about the universe, YOUR personal conversion experience, and how you live out your faith. Please include valid info and sources if you have any. Also, if you know of a place where I can interview a Buddhist online, I would love to Know that. Thanks!

Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door

James 5:17
Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years.

2 Kings 2:11
As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind
John 3:13
No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man

Did Elijah go up to Heaven, was John wrong, was James wrong....come on...somebody was wrong here.

Wouldn't anything, even non-existence, be better than a never-ending hell? So why have a child given the chance that they may rebel from biblical teaching and suffer an eternity of suffering?

Why don't mormons realize that they have been dooped into a cult, that has more similarities with Satanism than Christianity?

Because we know that there is no such thing as a good person. If we thought we were good people we would be guilty of another sin. Self righteousness.

So why is it that Christians who truly know Jesus are going to enter heaven and others are not?

Because we rely on God's goodness not our own that would be arrogant of us to rely on our goodness to get us into heaven.

We are not saved by our own works but by God's grace.

Christians accepted a free gift given to us. Jesus Christ.

That simple God offered us a gift by his grace and we accepted simple as that.

Why are so many people so resistant towards receiving free gifts these days? Especially gifts that will decide their eternity?

Now that I will never understand

I certainly do. there is 10000000times more chances for there to be other life forms (doesnt have to be intelligent) than there is a god...

just look up and look at the stars. now KNOW that these stars are ONLY in our galaxy. Know also that there are Millions of Billions of galaxys....

It would be crazy to say there ther arent any other life forms.

Why would god creat so many stars and space for us? answer is he didnt... we are just lucky be alive and exist...

I'm curious. During the 70's and 80's it was quite a regular sight to see young men- always young, white American men- and always in pairs. They would be VERY conservatively dressed, with "clean cut" haircuts. They used to go from door to door, seeking to convert people to Mormonism. I belive they termed it "missionary work".

What happened, do these Mormon missionaries still come to the UK? ...I remember once that one of them told me they believed Jesus of Nazareth had visited South America, which was stretching my credulity a bit.

I just don't want us all to forget the real names for things.

Here are some definitions for our politically correct words:

Abortion: Murder ; sin

Homosexuality: Sexual deviance;sodomy;aberrant;sin

Welfare: Laziness; sin (again I realize in some situations it is needed but if you are living breathing male that can move than yes Laziness)

A (god) that is ok with all of these things: A term used to sometimes justify sins; idol worship;Not the one tru God; sin

Islam:idol worship; sin

Buddhism: idol worship; sin

Materialism: idol worship; sin

I mean it seems like we have forgotten the name for things sometimes.Just wanted to make sure their wasn't anyone misled by political correctness.

The good thing is all of this can be forgiven by God's grace. Which is Jesus Christ. None of us are any better than the man next to us. But the man next to u may be saved by grace.

I furthered the discussion with my last question about "why did God give us free will?" and most of the guys that attacked me remained silent.

Those who spoke, said nothing important... a few made some important points and hence my last question-

YOU SAY that GOD gave us freewill because without freewill, there is no fun... no repentance, no crime, no forgiveness and hence no life. God wanted us to have a roller-coaster life with pain and happiness... experience it all.

My question is- Is rape, mental trauma, war, killing of innocents and murder all part of this experience? Did God want to be this way?

If you say Yes... then, enjoy your sins! God wants you to commit sins! Go ahead!! Kill that kid!

If you say No... then, why doesn't your God stop all this? Is he shackled by his own rules? He is omnipotent, right? If He doesn't want it to happen, why is he watching the baby getting raped and people getting murdered? Is a sociopath, psycho killer's freewill THAT important?
