- ... likely you would donate your own liver or kidney to save there life. But then you are one organ short. Well this happens a lot and seems to work fine.

- 13003: Comparing Buddhism and Christianity
- ... works -- even then there are some profound differences in the motivation for and supposed results of such good deeds. Buddhists believe that good works and compassion are ends in themselves which generate benefit for the world, creation and all living beings and which should therefore be strongly encouraged; whereas Christians tend to be very confused as to the exact purpose or function of compassionate activity in the world -- and correspondingly rather variable in their encouragement of it. Indeed, we can observe many who call themselves Christians who seem happily involved in killing, in acts of cruelty or in wars of belief, in the ... Christians do not seem to have developed any clear idea of what human origin is or what awaits us after the grave. They have no explanation for the apparently random suffering which appears in the world and no clear plan of how to avoid it. Nor do they have any clear concept of human psychology, whereas Buddhists have very clear views on all these matters. Christians also dismiss as 'work ...

- ... his tests and for being the perfect tool for Gods plans. In the Old Testament stories, God seems to want his earth to be peaceful and without sin and when he sees that the world is corrupt, he decides to conduct a purge. In the first two books of the Bible, there are two distinct covenants made, one with Noah and the other many generations later with Abraham. God talked to Noah and he was chosen to be the father of a renewed civilization after an enormous purge would wipe out the evil in the world. Noah had to undergo many trials and tribulations. He had to experience embarrassment and ridicule because of the nature of Gods requests. His neighbors and friends thought he was nuts because it is not everyday that a man constructs a huge boat made of gopher wood and claims that a flood will come to rid the world of evil. After Noah obeyed all Gods commands, he was rewarded. Noah became like Adam, in that he would be responsible for starting life on earth over. Noah was rewarded because of his faith ...

- ... rests on this person. However, doubts of his existence and teachings have been created and have been living among many people throughout the centuries since the time of his life. Thousands of people around the world may have different viewpoints and beliefs, but I personally have a strong faith and truly accept Jesus as my Savior, the Son of God. In the seventeenth century, the success of the new scientific method through Galileo, Copernicus, Kepler, and others generated a confidence in human reason. When reason is exalted as the sole norm of truth, that is, when the Enlightenment becomes a rationalism, there is little ...

- 13007: God Changes Throughout The First Books Of The Old Testament
- ... to his fore mentioned encounter with one could be explained. But this was not the case, he blatantly destroyed the very planet he gave life. God never gave a concise reason for destroying an entire world, just that it had become dark. God seems to be experimenting with good, evil, wrong and write, and the correct level of punishment, in the Old Testament. God did not know that murder was wrong ... Exodus 20:16-18) God changes throughout the entire Bible, but these accounts are painfully clear in the first few books. Did God reconsider thoughts he had earlier? Or did he simply evolve and experience new avenues that needed to be thought out more? The first books are full of discrepancies from one type of God to another. God might have only been able to change when people changed, after all ...

- 13009: How Other Religions view Jesus
- ... view Jesus The view of whom or what Jesus was, is a common question that arises even in the Christian religion. For Christians, for granted Jesus was the messiah. Other religions and people in our world do not agree upon this belief, in Jesus being the messiah though. Religions such as Muslim and Buddhism have very different beliefs. With these different beliefs comes differing in views of Jesus Christ. The question ... simply stated is that they feel Jesus was only a messenger of God: a great one but he is not viewed or believed to be the one true messiah.
