Though for me, there is one big difference. I do not consider Buddhism to be a religion. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18217295120204175863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12679107.post-43064853411594661442009-08-05T07:52:03.921-05:002009-08-05T07:52:03.921-05:00Funny how "christ" is in every comment f...Funny how "christ" is in every comment for this wonderful Buddhist story.

This is the heart of what Paul was after when he engaged the intellectuals at the Areopagus in Acts 17. After all God did create us all and left his fingerprints all over us. I'm glad about that because the truth others do carry--it's an amazing exchange when it rubs off on me. It would be a unlovely thing if I was the one that held all the answers and all that another could do was to be recreated like a blank slate under my administration. Under the H.S.'s administration, yes. Not mine. One pastor who worked amongst the Muslims actually said that Muslims have much to teach American evangelicals by way of oneanothering and working together and being obedient to one another, for it is a Godly value of their culture which American evangelical culture has not developed.espíritu pazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17483308467615005496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12679107.post-12727634793409100142007-07-20T19:47:00.000-05:002007-07-20T19:47:00.000-05:00something that I have said to only a privileged fe...something that I have said to only a privileged few is that my buddhist history has often prepared me more for my Christian walk than the chruch.
