Dude, don't you read?

I've told firefawkes to set this as a group thread, but in return he reported me for advising him on that and remained adamant on not putting in group thread. So i had to report this thread as a dupe thread of joe_mamaks and a religious one, which shouldnt be here.

Use your brains for once.

i did not report that 1st post of yours until the 2nd, you have been warned

so meaning Thai monks can eat meat?
*
we eat to survive

thats the basis of life, we do not eat based on desire to eat for its taste

offerings were taken in by the Buddha on his daily alms

sometimes the food he got were meat, fyi, the origins of being vegetarian was introduced by his diciples

(working on something atm, do look up on the origins of vegetarian in Buddhism before blatantly accusing thank you)

Oh, then how come several forum members said Cit is ok for Christians to practice Buddhism so call the way of life? Mind to elaborate more? From what I know there is no rebirth and karma in Christianity.
*
meditation is widely accepted in Christianity, and meditation is a core part in Buddhism,

the basis of all religion have the same path way in a sense, even thou Buddhism is not a religion, the rules of conduct are of positive light in the teachings

so why do you need to add our own tainted human judgment into any positive conduct? Karma = you reap what you sow

are you sure there is no such teachings similar to Karma in the Bible?

Galatians chapter 6 and verse 7

QUOTE
Job 4:8  – "...They that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness...,"  what do they reap? It says , "...they reap the same, they reap the same." There's something about sowing that we need to understand and what can come back to you? Some people call it "karma," other people call it different things but the BIBLE  makes it very clear, "what you sow is what you reap."

We find that in history the Roman statesman, philosopher, orator Cicero, he made the statement, "As you have sown, so shall you reap. As you have sown, so shall you reap." And of course we find in Galations 6:7 , I'll ask you to turn there with me, please and notice what the admonition of scripture is. And remember the scripture is the sound and solid admonition that comes from the eternal God Himself to all of us. It says,

Galatians 6:7 "Be not deceived..." Now the very fact it says that indicates that we can be deceived on this particular issue if we're not careful. We have to understand something about this thing of sowing and reaping as it applies to us as human beings. "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man ( as well as a woman) sows...," meaning as they live their lives, minute to minute, hour to hour, day by day, year by year, and it goes on. It says, whatever an individual sows, "...that will they also reap."

This is like when a muslim tells you buddha is a  prophet of Allah. how you feel?

So i always believe we shouldn't 'trick' the christians to believe in Buddha by telling them they can be a Buddhist and christian at the same time. Jesus and Buddha taught 2 very different things , one with a God, the other with no God.

Must show them respect they deserve. that's my idea. Sorry if i sound judgmental, not meant to be.
*
no idea wth you are talking about

im just answering the questions about why do they think that its okay for another religion to practice Buddhism

im not converting anyone here, nor am i saying who is right or wrong

why so nasty? ROFL

stating the obvious similarity is a sin here now?

LIke that you want call me nasty?? what i did?

hiaya, tell you to be careful don't cincai tell them .... we buddhists ok if christians want to practice buddhism (more than welcome), but they might have some conflict themselves one....  later the christian trolls will start to come in and disturb already.
*
if they misinterpret it then its their fault, my answer to the question is crystal clear

if the christian trolls come, they are "trolling", what does that gotta do with my statement which is the truth? there is no trickery in my sentence

i provided the source, are you saying that im "tricking" people now?

its quite subjective actually.

because there are some similiarities between these 2, especially the believe in gods.
*
no need talk much

no

Taoism is not Buddhism

Buddhism merged some of the ideas of Taoism into the teachings while it was trying to spread into China to ease the acceptance

this is FACT

go look it up

it sorts of defeats the purpose of being vegeterian.

you still have the 'thought' of eating meat.

if u notice in  strict temples, they don't serve all these food. more to vege, and taufu, the 'real' veges.
*
Qft

but, are you gonna force vege down normal people throats?

look at a different perspective

Maybe it is beyond the logic. That’s why it takes time to understand.

beyond logic?

what is logic?

not understanding is doesn't make it illogical

astro physics is not logical to most people, but the answer is there provided that you are serious in searching the answers like Hawkins
