Bible Question:
can you please be kind enough to tell me if it's wrong to have a Buddha satue in the house of a christian even if it's for the purpouse of art? |
Bible Answer: Hi chumba Understanding the buddha I submit this to you, in the hope you will better be able to understand, just what "IS" wrong with a Christian having a buddha in their house. The buddha is the embodiment of everything, that vaunts itself against the knowledge of God. This statue, no matter how benignly we may look at it is (Anti God - Anti Christ). It is beyond me how Satan has managed to deceive Christians so much as to have them believe, that something is only art, or decoration. He did the same thing years ago, by getting Christians to believe the Ouija board was only a child's game. Would you go out and by , strictly for decorative purposes, pictures, or statues of ( Muhammad, Krishna, Vishnu) if your answer is a resounding "NO" then you have answered your own question. This is what our part should be. 2 Cor. 10:5 5.) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; Buddha is not worshipped as god, deva, nor prophet or messenger of God but a (human guru) ( teacher) who had gained enlightenment. A typical misconception tends to link Buddha as the Buddhist counterpart of “God”; however, Buddhism is non-theistic, i.e., in general it does not teach the existence of a supreme creator god or depend on any supreme being for enlightenment; Buddha is a guide and teacher who points the way. The commonly accepted definition of the term "God" describes a being that not only rules but actually created the universe. Such ideas and concepts are disputed by Buddha and Buddhists in many Buddhist discourses. In Buddhism, the supreme origin and creator of the universe is not a god, but Avidya (ignorance). Buddhists try to dispel this darkness through constant practice, wisdom and compassion (known as prajna). Source wikipedia I Really Hope that this Helps you Vintage68 |
