Bible Question:
Does anyone know anything about Dharma cards? I have a co worker who has been under a great deal of stress. He is a CONSTANT worrier. He says he believes in Jesus and we have had conversations about Him and the Word (but they are one in the same aren't they? :) ) But anyway, I have tried to minister to him the words of Jesus. 'Let not your heart be troubled'. For awhile, I thought maybe it was working but then... He started telling me about these Buddhist philosophy books he bought. It seems as if he is saying 'yeah I know what Jesus said but I need something else'. And yesterday he told me about the Dharma cards he bought and he confirmed what I thought because he said something about Christians who practice some of the Buddhist philosophy dont find any contradictions with the Bible. During our conversation, as he told me about some of the philosophies, I tried to point back to what scripture said. While, on the surface, the philosophies he shared did not seem to contradict the Word, my concern for him is that he is seeking peace from everywhere but the Prince of Peace. I even told him what Isaiah said: 'Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.' Has anyone dealt with anything similiar and have scripture references I can study, then minister to him? Thanks in advance to those who may respond. Abba Father bless... Meredith |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... 1 Ki 18:21, Gal 1:6-10 Meredith, greetings. Dharma Cards are part of a cult ... and we should never mix anything with Christianity. Israel had this problem. One example was during Ahab's rule (1 Ki 18:21) ... and the new church was hearing another Gospel, which isn't a Gospel (Gal 1:6-10). There was some mixing going on. Hope this helps, Searcher |
