Re: False Religions And Cults

I think what he meant is that they have no gods. He is correct in a sense that the purpose of Buddhism is primarily to achieve nirvana by following the 5 fold path, which leads to the 8 step w/e (forgot what its called).

Anyways, buddhism doesnt truly have a god. maybe zen buddhism or neo buddhism or some other modernized shit does, but the good old fashioned buddhism back when there was caste was just as Jesus said

Here's a hint, perhaps you should actually learn something about what your talking about before you start spouting off at the mouth.

Forgive me Jesus for what I am about to post on your Holy Board

Pastor Sampson mentioned Brahma, Reverend Rodimer mentioned Tara/Kuan Yin. You do realize that buddhism came out of Hinduism right? That ol' sid actually believed in Karma, 300+ gods and all of the other Hindu garbage?

Other Gods of Buddhism are....

• Shakyamuni Buddha
• Thousand-Armed Chenresig
• Four-Armed Chenresig
• Green Tara
• Medicine Buddha
• Maitreya
• Manjushri
• Vajrasattva
• The 35 Buddhas
• Amitabha Buddha
• White Umbrella Mother of all Buddhas
• Je Tsongkhapa
• Vajrapani

This list does not include people like Sid (although sometimes equated with Shakeyamuni Buddha), Ho Tai (fat laughing Buddha), Bhodi Dharma (man who brought Buddhism from the west) and many other worshiped people. There is also the ancestral worship that is involved in Buddhism.

According to this ridiculous myth, Mithras was born of a virgin, said 'I am the way and the light, and only through me can ye be saved.', went around performing miricles, held a last supper with his followers, and died to save mankind but was resurrected and ascended into Heaven. Some of the religious practices include ritualistic baptism, drinking wine and eating bread to symbolize Mithras' blood and body, holding Sundays sacred, an an annual celebration of Mithras' birth on December 25.

United Church of Christ
Submitted by: Larry Lee
The once-glorious True Christian™ Church of the Pilgrims and Puritans (who can forget "Sinners In The Hands Of An Angry God") has, in our time, so utterly embraced Satan that even the members of the UCC Divine Revelation that their Church's initials stand for 'Unitarians Considering Christ.' Furthermore, these debased hellhounds advocate the ordination of women and even install women as the pastors of congregations that include men. Lastly, I hope you're sitting down this malignant group welcomes gays and lesbians into their worship services and communities. Jesus weeps! Recently, they were in the news because the television networks refused to air their recruitment tape.

Okay, here goes...

"Campbellism" is the name Baptists usually give to people who are part of the Churches of Christ. It started in the 1800's, when a group of former Baptist, Methodist, and Presbyterian ministers became convinced by the Bible that their sectarian names were wrong, their extrabiblical creeds were wrong, and they should, "speak where the Bible speaks, and be silent where the Bible is silent" on religious matters in their sermons. Three of the most notable figures in that movement are Barton W. Stone, Thomas Campbell, and his son, Alexander Campbell... hence, the term, "Campbellism". Here's where it gets kind-of tricky, because I don't believe in creeds beyond the Bible itself; but, a short list of beliefs are as follows:

Where the Scriptures speak, we speak; where the Scriptures are silent, we are silent."[10]:688

• "The church of Jesus Christ on earth is essentially, intentionally, and constitutionally one."

• "We are Christians only, but not the only Christians."

• "In essentials, unity; in opinions, liberty; in all things love."

• "No creed but Christ, no book but the Bible, no law but love, no name but the divine."

• "Do Bible things in Bible ways, call Bible things by Bible names, and be content with, 'Thus Saith the LORD'."

We're also the ones who believe that a person, who has the chance, is saved only when he or she decides to be baptized. Basically, if you want a list of the "heresies" of our faith, we believe almost the complete opposite of Calvin's "TULIP" model... people choose to sin, instead of inheriting it; people choose to come to God; and, Christ died to give everyone a chance to accept salvation. Churches of Christ usually have the Lord's Supper every week, and most have no church-sponsored instrumental music in the worship (many consider it sinful to include instruments in the worship; some just don't include them, because it's not required).

Yeah, that was a pretty long post; but, I think I covered all the information you wanted about "Campbellism"...

Well, Alexander Campbell and his father started out as Presbyterians. In fact, Thomas Campbell was a Presbyterian minister. They were also from Scotland; so, there could be Campbells out there wno are not part of this...

(a little humor?) I'm pretty sure Campbell's Soup isn't part of it, either...

Re: False Religions And Cults

I thought I'd bring up a new cult I stumbled upon recently:

Christianity! And boy, what a cult it is. They get all their information from a 1900 year old book which, as near as anyone can tell, was written by multiple different /men/ (and not by any sort of divine being), is internally inconsistent, and is, by all measures, complete and utter bullshit.

They use the "reasoning" (I add quotation marks because Christians don't actually use reason) provided for them by their false god to justify war, murder, genocide, persecution and humiliation. Sounds bad, right? I thought so too.

Someone should have murdered this 'Jesus' as a babe, before he could spread his hateful message to anyone, and burned the original writings of the Bible - for the salvation of all mankind.
