Need Bible Verse

There was a thread here a few weeks back where guy asked religious people to explain forgiveness. Someone posted that baptism etc is the most misunderstood part of the bible. then then quoted Jesus saying how a whole list of sins would be forgiven upon judgement. Anyone have the link to that post or have the quotes?

I searched up one side of the forums and down the other. Any help would be appreciated, thx.
 
There's a lot of evidence point to the possibility that jesus travelled when young to a buddhist community and returned with their values to teach the Jews.

Essentially christianity is a mixture of judasm and buddhism. How's that for interesting?!
 
1) I don't have time to read the first 4 books at work.

2) I doubt they could help me, I'm trying to explain why you go to heaven if you're not baptised. 😛

3) I'd believe it. It is interresting and probably how we have such good ideas but poor implementation. (Yes, that was a slam. Yes I did mean buddhists are much more christian in many respects than most christians)

Anyone else know what I'm talking about? It was a huge post in the top 50 for a while....this is why I bookmark posts. 🙁

If there is so much of this evidence, then please, by all means enlighten us.

Otherwise, keep your theories to yourself. ty.

There isn't that much actual evidence of that, but he did live in a region frequented by many other East nations, so it is possible that he spoke with Buddhist, but to make a general statement as saying there is "a lot of evidence" is a misnomer.

:thumbsup:

There is *no* evidence of the kind, just speculation.
 
No verse here, but a couple things. Noah and the Ark was a picture of our salvation, of sorts. Noah never got wet.

And the thief on the cross. When Jesus was dying along with the thief, he told him that he would be in paradise with Jesus, the thief was never baptized.

And some linkage. Very long, just popped up in a google search, maybe it'll help you...

Baptism?
 
Read the book of Romans.
excerpt: Rom 3:28 "Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law."

Well, for a start, you all assume that three kings randomly saw a star and decided to follow it. Why would they do this? "Hey dude, check out this star in the sky that we know circles the earth, how about we follow it for ages?" Ages later: "duuuude! check out this kid! he's kind of under this star, lets worship him!!11!1!!one!!1"

or... more realisticly, can I point you towards to practices of the bhuddists when looking for a new dalai lama (from wiki):
"Upon the death of the Dalai Lama, his monks institute a search for the Lama's reincarnation, or yangsi (yang srid), a small child. Familiarity with the possessions of the previous Dalai Lama is considered the main sign of the reincarnation. The search for the reincarnation typically requires a few years. The reincarnation is then brought to Lhasa to be trained by the other Lamas."

well! whddayaknow? a PLAUSIBLE explanation for something in the bible... could it be?

what about the actual teachings of jesus? Check out the old testiment... it's aggressive, barbaric and really harsh. Now compare Jesus' teachings with the buddhist mentality... wowaweewa! it's really similar OMG WTF BBQ! Do you believe:

a) jesus was the son of the magical magician in the sky and magically was instructed to teach these things

or

b) he went and studied buddhism, returned and taught what he had learnt?

yeah you're right, I must be talking sh!t....
