Christianity Options

The reason Christianity is real to me is because it is so different from other religions. It has been tested and questioned by the harshest critics. It has undergone the test of time and the story has still been remembered.

The most important diffence is, it's founder lives. Buddha, mohammed, and all the various cult leaders are all dead. Burried in the ground. Christians search for their founder and find an empty tomb of a living king.

To follow Buddhism, one must fundamentally try to get rid of desire. However, like in all religions, there are many Buddhists who do not practice what they preach.


Anyway, in his last moments, Buddha has this to say about death and the road to enlightenment:

“Make yourself a light. Rely upon yourself: do not depend on anyone else. Make my teachings your light… My disciples, my last moment has come, but do not forget that death is only the end of the physical body. The body was born from parents and was nourished by food; just as inevitable are sickness and death. But the true Buddha is not a human body: -it is Enlightenment. A human body must die, but the Wisdom of Enlightenment will exist forever in truth and in practice….”

If you mean that the Buddha simply doesn't exist, then the same is said about your "living king" simply because they are not physically seen.

So death is explained.

They however do not have power over death and still die just as humans.

They die because it is REQUIRED in the CYCLE. Duh. If you want to compare, Jesus died just as mortals can die.
