Is it a coincidence? For example, they were both said to have been born of a virgin and had twelve disciples.

yourself. btw, the fire isn't too bad yet, so you or your 5 year old toddler won't die of smoke inhalation if one of you go get her.

Also, the fire is the result of your unintelligently designed indoor barbeque pit.

Do you think that the children who get diseases, die early, and are born handicapped are paying in this life for being "bad" in their previous lives?

....in order to discredit the best and most reliable history book, the bible?

Is it at all damaging to teach children that all of the brilliant worldwide scientists with IQ's of 165+ are all mistaken?how? a book.
That they are all lying? why? hate god.

This is a very frightening thing to raise children on......intellectual child abuse, really.

I believe this is what is called Niroda Sanya in Pali. When you become an Arahath, your mind recognizes signal of Neither Perception nor Non-Perception that would stop the creation of Karma by eliminating Asrava. As long as you have Asrava, you cannot terminate the formation of Karma from Vinnyana. Hence, you broke the circle of life.

Buddha explains our life by taking an example from a seed.

Vinnyana is the seed, karma is the soil, and desire is water. When you eliminate the desire to your six senses made by Vinnyana (mind, body, tongue, eyes, nose, ears), you stopped adding water to the seed to grow. Just like an oil lamp, it will not glow once the oil and the wick is burnt off.

Thus, you attain the state of Nirvana because the seed will not grow again without water.

Any comments are suggestions? Please don’t give any rude answers if you don’t know what I am talking.

Why do people that claim they praise God call themselves a name that was only mentioned 3 times in the Bible? vs Saints, which was mentioned way over a good 30 times and it was in the Old Testament?

some of us doing bussiness, some r in job or services, social works, politics, travelling, creative works, loving others/nation,...... even some of us involve in destructive works also.

by doing all of those above we earn or gain money,honour,power everything to make our life easier or colorfull.

but for what we r doing that? even love or hate?

AS PER MY OPINION WE ALL R DOING THOSE FOR NOTHING BUT PEACE ONLY, MENTAL PEACE AND SATISFACTORY.

do u agree with me? or what is ur opinion ?

For example,

All the churches I have been in mostly teach to "Love the sinner, but hate the sin".

If this truly applies, we should love satan (biggest sinner of all), but merely hate what he does (sin).

Ministers will tell you that it is fine to hate Satan, & that he deserves hellfire, but my biggest complaints with that are:

God created Satan. Why? If he hated him?
If you created someone, (say, it was YOUR kid) would you hate them?
So what if Satan deserves hell fire, Bible says to LOVE your enemies (is Satan an enemy?) which is not the same as loving what they do, it is perfectly ok to hate his evil actions.
People have all done wrong as well, & according to the Bible, not just Satan, but ALL of us are deserving hell fire.

So if we deserve hellfire along with Satan, why all the hate/love contradictions they teach in the pulpit?

No wonder people get confused & kill "those horrid sinners" after they get a load of love your enemies, yet kill them?

How can this foster peace?
