@prinvena13 I didn't post anything insulting jealous jackass. Jealousy is a disease we need to find a cure. Stop hating and trying to get like me. You are exactly the opposite of what Buddhism represents.

@Famous1MB, You know Christianity like you know Chinese arithmetic. Your just another member of the common herd who will die in their ignorance. Fucking simpleton.

@superluminalthought.Its funny how you said no "inner work required".But there isnt.See as a Christian i dont need to work in order to be saved.The beauty of Christianity is Christ did all the WORK by hanging and dying on the cross...The Bible says too as many as "RECIEVED HIM" are children of God.Theres only one God my friend,And your not it my friend.Its the God of Abraham,Issac,and Jacob.The eternal God.And honestly you wont believe until the Lord draws you and changes that stoney heart.

@Famous1MB, That's all hearsay my friend, Have you verified whether this has any base in reality? Its seems nice and neatly packaged for mindless drones like you to regurgitate, No inner work required. I am sinner because I'm living out my allotted time in life and God who is the very architect of sin decided only 2000yrs ago to save me from the very thing he created by incarnating into a human. You have suffered a mental death if you believe this nonsense.

@superluminalthought correction with all do respect its spelled "Disciple" not diciple.And it means learner.So how can God be your disciple when your one of his creation??Im a slave to Jesus Christ.No longer a slave to sin.But ive been washed, ive been cleansed by the blood of Jesus.And God loves you.So much he died for you.But he wants that heart. (Romans 10:9-12)..But i cant save you.Thats only through the power of the holy spirit...God Bless.

@Famous1MB, I'm beyond all those concepts, really, you need not pray for me. The material universe prostrates before me, whereas you're still slave to it. God is my diciple.

@superluminalthought your right i am weak, your right i was convicted.One day i was lost i was a sinner deep in sin..But one day i humbled my self and realized i needed a savior.I admit far from Christ im NOTHING.But now i gave everything now im a follower of Christ.Im not here to argue bout religion.Because religion cannot save no one!!!!Only a relationship with God through his Son Jesus Christ!!!!God blesd you pray that you come into the light.

@Famous1MB, The reason you find yourself ignorantly trying to convince others of your beleifs is because deep down your conviction is WEAK, You need others to come on board to confirm and strengthen your faith which subconsciously you are disillusioned by.
