Buddhism does not acknowledge Jesus as Lord and Savior which a person must do to be saved.

Also Buddhism has a natural based theme to them which Christianity does not but it is all about a personal God.

The religion of Buddhism will end up following the new age movement when the New Age Christ, antichrist, starts working in the world and pushes the agenda of the new age movement, as well as Hinduism, as well as the newly elected Pope going by their interpretation of the Bible, as well as many people.

Christianity and Buddhism are not compatible and the way they operate and believe goes against Christianity.

Amo 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

They do not agree.

Isa 41:21 Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob.
Isa 41:22 Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come.
Isa 41:23 Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.
Isa 41:24 Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you.
Isa 41:25 I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay.
Isa 41:26 Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that heareth your words.
Isa 41:27 The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings.
Isa 41:28 For I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, and there was no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word.
Isa 41:29 Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion.

God said that He identifies Himself as the true God by showing us the end from the beginning, and He said no other religion or person can do that.

If Christianity and Buddhism were compatible then they would both be following the same God but Buddhism knows nothing about the time right now like God told us in the Bible, and will follow the new age movement that will deceive the world in to believing they are evolving to be spiritual, and there is no God.

Watch as Buddhism follows the Pope who will be the head of a unified religious system with all religions interpreted by the new age movement.

Buddhism has a natural theme to them which is not of God.

According to the Bible the religion of Buddhism has beliefs that the Christian God does not approve.

Which the New Age Christ is close to negotiating peace in the Middle East between Israel and the Arabs, and the nations governments are actually together but they are dividing themselves with threats, and warnings, and the possibility of a nuclear war that could devastate the planet which is a scare tactic to get the people of the world to be on board with coming together to work for peace on Earth.

And then see the direction Buddhism goes but they will go right along with the New Age Christ which the Christians are to shun them.

Islam, Christianity, and Judaism for sure will shun the new age movement, and Christianity and Islam would be more compatible then Christianity and Buddhism, but Christianity and Islam are not compatible.

Acts 10:43~ All the prophets testify about Him that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name. :)

Can a Christian be a follower of Buddha?
They can IF they want to burn in hell for all of eternity!

It's idolatry to follow anyone other than Jesus Christ...

Revelation 21:8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

What about learn about them?
Why bother learning about a false religious leader that is a trap of the devil to deceived people in to going to hell?

Now if you wanted to counter what they believe with God's Word to reach out to them to teach them they believe wrong and should accept Jesus... that would be useful.

What about learn about them?
Well, to begin with: classic Buddhism has no supreme being(s) like there is
in Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Judaism, i.e. classic Buddhism is
atheistic: consequently Buddhists experience relatively little anxiety about
facing justice some day.

Buddhism's goal is nirvana. However; the nirvana that Siddhartha Gautama
taught isn't a destination: it's a state of mind; and Buddhists who achieve
nirvana live it here as mortals; not somewhere else as immortals.

Technically, Buddhism has no afterlife. When those who achieve nirvana
pass away, they go completely out of existence. But the ones who fail to
achieve nirvana have to go thru a process called samsara wherein they
undergo serial reincarnations; which are quite a bit different than a standard
resurrection.

Reincarnation doesn't return one's soul to their body, primarily because
there is no soul in Buddhism; instead, reincarnation reassembles one's
karmic matter; which doesn't always result in another human life, nor even
the same gender. Sometimes it results in a lower form of life, e.g. a horse, a
meerkat, a moth, or a pheasant, et al.

* Were I to question Buddhism, I'd focus on reincarnation and inquire as to
the source of power that makes it happen.

It is our job to throw out the lifeline and rescue the perishing.
|The OSAS peoples are causing people to perish by teaching them false doctrine that is not supported by God's Word.

The only way anybody can justify OSAS doctrine is by only believing a hand full of happy verses and then throwing the rest of God's Word in the trash!

OSAS teaches the sdame thing satan taught Adam and Eve in the garden of eden which is... you can sin against God and not die spiritually (separation from God)... so the OSAS message is the same message the devil teaches.

Romans 8:13
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die:
but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

Ridiculous is only exceeded by absurd here.

There is no need to drag your pet peeve into this thread, or any other.
I am reminded of that 'one trick pony' at the circus

Mr eyes feels safe with those comments because they will always generate a response of some kind and it would appear he needs the attention....just one of his many attributes
