Aiya, every followers also experience their religion's God or do you think they will still worship their Gods if they don't have any experience with their Gods. So, don't think only Christians experience their God, others also experience the Gods that they worship. Be honest with yourself, does God's will satisfy your queries to today's world problems and your own problems ?

The 3 yr old kid will grow up one day. If algebra really exists in this world, the 3 yr old kid will eventually know about algebra's existence one day. By seeing so many Christians, I know God exists. However, God is not the answer to everything in this world, he is not as powerful as you guys think. He has limitations to his power.

If you need to know, then I will tell you that GOD does satisfy all my queries to today's world problems and my own problems as long as I ask GOD.
Then you must also be honest too, and admit that not every followers got experience with their religion's GOD and still worship their GOD by faith.

GOD is more powerful than you think, and you don't know GOD.
According to the Prajna Paramita Sutra and/or Diamond Sutra, names are not important....who's who is also not important. The most important is to realize that humans have unlimited potential. And that the "teacher" will appear so as to teach people the road to "salvation" or "enlightenment". That's the purpose of "teachers" appearing in this world.

If God is as powerful as what you said, ask him to stop all the disasters and tragedies from happening. I will only believe he is powerful if his followers are well and good, live up to ripe old age. This is not happening.

Why does GOD need to convince you to believe in HIM in the first place?
Isn't it supposed to be the other way around where you need to convince GOD of your love for HIM?
So silly of you ya...

Perhaps why God dun have a fixed name and have so many "functional names" instead. eg. Elohim, Adonai etc. This maybe becos "names are not important". Hmmm sound buddhist? I dunno....
the 3yr old kid will eventually noe algebra exists when he experience it by being taught in school or he read from somewhere...until tat happens he wun noe theres such a thing as algebra...
to demon bane,
well, God has a name called creator, sth buddhism and taoism doesnt name their gods...

"Creator" is also a functional name, my fren.
did buddha claim to create or was the creator of the universe?
Parn..........
you said you got an experience with God............a man-made entity................
so........you sure it wasn't just a wet dream ???
Originally posted by despondent:did buddha claim to create or was the creator of the universe?
Nope. The buddha is not the creator of the universe. According to buddha's teachings, the universe is everlasting with no beginning nor ending. Similar to all lives, there's no beginning nor ending. Maybe u should talk to His Holiness Dalai Lama. He went thru the cycles of birth and death 13 times and reincarnated as a "buddha" again. So there is no ending nor beginning. Everything is inter related to another and Karma is at work. The buddhists called it the Law.
so can u still associate buddha to the word ''God'' which is also linked to creator...
cannot...........Buddhism takes all the mystery out of all these religious stuff..........becoz there's no such thing as religion at all...........it's completely man-made................
the Buddha said.............'' in truth..............there are no Buddhas and teachings............''
#### the phrase ''Buddha'' is simply used to distinguish him from the other non-awaken people..........the word ''Buddha'' has no meaning apart from that..........
put simply...........everyone are just a collection of thoughts............ever-changing.........
so to say you have a permanent soul or self is to say ...........a PC has a soul becoz it has Artificial Intelligence.......TOTALLY ABSURD............
dont argue.

He's an ex-Buddhist eat Pork in temple then went crazy and seek Muslim but got kicked out then he went to Church and they offered him milk and cookies, then he du lan and he decided to wage war against all religions.
So technically he's an ex-Buddhist out to create trouble in a Christian forum.
He has already forgotten about what he had learnt.
Shame on him, let's forgive him and all those sinners who chose to sin on purpose to defile the pure and one true religion, Christianity.
I went to those "charismatic" churches many years ago and everybody were "slain" except me and my fren....why? I suppose God dun love us! Hahaha!
What's the deal with City Harvest Church? Why they are soooo rich ? God's blessings? Possibly!
the holy spirit doesnt slain anyojne who doesnt believe in him...he doesnt force his way into u...
