What Bible verse, do you think, best grasp ideas also found in eastern religions? Anybody answer.?

Answer 1

I'd say that the whole gospel of Luke is pretty similar to eastern philosophies...it's only a matter of recognizing the difference in context. The essence of it is virtually the same.

Answer 2

Aside from the quality answers already submitted...

"5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God."

(King James Bible, Matthew)

"Today the one overriding need is unity and harmony among the beloved of the Lord, for they should have among them but one heart and soul and should, so far as in them lieth, unitedly withstand the hostility of all the peoples of the world; they must bring to an end the benighted prejudices of all nations and religions and must make known to every member of the human race that all are the leaves of one branch, the fruits of one bough.

Until such time, however, as the friends establish perfect unity among themselves, how can they summon others to harmony and peace?

That soul which hath itself not come alive,

Can it then hope another to revive?

Reflect ye as to other than human forms of life and be ye admonished thereby: those clouds that drift apart cannot produce the bounty of the rain, and are soon lost; a flock of sheep, once scattered, falleth prey to the wolf, and birds that fly alone will be caught fast in the claws of the hawk. What greater demonstration could there be that unity leadeth to flourishing life, while dissension and withdrawing from the others, will lead only to misery; for these are the sure ways to bitter disappointment and ruin."

(Abdu'l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu'l-Baha, p. 277)

Answer 3

The Golden Rule. All religions have it. In fact, the teaching is embedded in the culture of primitive tribes.
Peace!

Answer 4

Several of the parables given by Jesus has similarities to the buddhist belief when it comes to Karma. One of them is "What you sow so shall you reap." and following the golden rule "Do unto others what you want them to do with you."

Answer 5

ROMANS CH 1:18-32 sums it up pretty well

18The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
21For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

28Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

---May all those who have made a false idol before God Almighty fall on their knees and repent so that the Lord Almighty may forgive them!

--Don't be fooled by the "peacefullness" of eastern religions. Many of the countries where these religions are mainstream persecute other faiths in many ways....see the link below
