And it wasn't nice having either of you.
Your days are over and done with once and for all.
Yes, hard to imagine that a publisher could take a nutcase like me
seriously, right?
You ignorant little maggots.
Here is what the new book "Christ : The Son of Buddha" is based on.
Happy reading!
Contrary to what others might imply, I did not invent any of these
atrocities which the God of Moses and the prophets committed, who the
present day Jews and Judaeo-Christians, as well as Muslims, all were
taught to believe in from since they were children as they were unable
to think for themselves and looked to their parents for guidance, who
in turn were taught the same by their parents, and so on.
So here are comparisons between the Old Testament(prefixed with OT-)
and New Testament scriptures which prove beyond a doubt that Christ
did not serve the OT God, then it analyses more closely the NT to show
who the real Father of Christ is, and who the God of the OT really is.
1Corinthians:1:21: For after that in the wisdom of God the world by
wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to
save them that believe.
1John:1:5: This then is the message which we have heard of him, and
declare unto you, that *God is light*, and in him is no darkness at
all.
OT-Deuteronomy:5:23: And it came to pass, when ye *heard the voice*
out of the *midst of the darkness*, (for the mountain did *burn with
fire*,) that ye came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes,
and your elders;
John:5:37: And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne
witness of me. Ye (the Jews) have neither heard his voice *at any
time*, nor seen his shape.
OT-Deuteronomy:5:24: And ye said, Behold, the LORD our God hath showed
us his glory and his greatness, and *we have heard his voice* out of
the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that *God doth talk with
man*, and he liveth.
1Corinthians:3:19: For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with
God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
OT-Joshua:4:24: That all the people of the earth might know the hand
of the LORD, that it is mighty: that ye might *fear the LORD your God
for ever*.
1John:4:18: There is *no fear in love* ; but *perfect love casteth out
fear* : because *fear hath torment*. He that feareth *is not made
perfect* in love.
Luke:6:35: But *love ye your enemies*, and *do good*, and lend, hoping
for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the
children of the Highest: for *he is kind* unto the unthankful and to
the evil.
John:8:38: I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do
that which ye have seen with your father.
OT-Numbers:15:32: And while the children of Israel were in the
wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath
day.
33 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and
Aaron, and unto all the congregation.
34 And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should
be done to him.
35 And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death:
all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.
36 And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and *stoned
him with stones*, and he died; *as the LORD commanded Moses*.
Mark:3:4: And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the
sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held
their peace.
OT-Numbers:25:3: And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the
anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
4: And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and
hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of
the LORD may be turned away from Israel.
5: And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men
that were joined unto Baal-peor.
6: And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto
his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the
sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were
weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
7: And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest,
saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in
his hand;
8: And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both
of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly.
So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
9: And those that died were twenty and four thousand.
10: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
11: Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath
turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous
for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in
my jealousy.
John:8:44: Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your
father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not
in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a
lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
OT-Deuteronomy:6:13: Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him,
and shalt *swear by his name*.
Matthew:5:34: But I say unto you, *Swear not at all*; neither by
heaven; for it is God's throne:
37: But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever
is more than these *cometh of evil*.
James:5:12: But *above all things*, my brethren, *swear not*, neither
by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let
your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; *lest ye fall into condemnation*.
OT-Genesis:17:13: He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought
with thy money, *must needs be circumcised*: and my covenant shall be
*in your flesh* for an *everlasting covenant*.
14 And the uncircumcised man child *whose flesh of his foreskin is not
circumcised*, *that soul shall be cut off* from his people; he hath
*broken my covenant*.
Galations:5:2: Behold, I Paul say unto you, that *if ye be
circumcised*, *Christ shall profit you nothing*.
Titus:1:10: For there are many unruly and vain talkers and
*deceivers*, *specially they of the circumcision*:
John:6:63: It is the spirit that quickeneth; *the flesh profiteth
nothing*.
1John:4:1: Beloved, *believe not every spirit*, but *try the spirits*
whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into
the world.
1Corinthians:10:21: Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup
of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the
table of devils.
OT-Deuteronmy:6:15: (For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you)
lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and
*destroy thee* from off the face of the earth.
Luke:9:51: And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should
be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
52: And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered
into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
53: And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he
would go to Jerusalem.
54: And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord,
wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume
them, even as Elias did?
55: But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not *what
manner of spirit* ye are of.
56: For the Son of man is *not come to destroy* men's lives, but to
save them. And they went to another village.
OT-Isaiah:45:19: I have not spoken in secret, *in a dark place* of the
earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the
LORD speak righteousness, *I declare things that are right*.
OT-Exodus:20:21: And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near
unto *the thick darkness where God was*.
22: And the LORD said unto Moses, *Thus thou shalt say unto the
children of Israel*, Ye have seen that *I have talked with you from
heaven*.
John:5:37: And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne
witness of me. Ye (the Jews) have *neither heard his voice at any
time*, nor seen his shape.
James:1:12: Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he
is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath
promised to them that love him.
Revelation:14:14: And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the
cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden
crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15: And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice
to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the
time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16: And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth;
and the earth was reaped.
Who is the Father?
Still they called him by his name and addressed him as "friend
Gotama." When they had thus received the Blessed One, he said: "Do not
call the Tathagata by his name nor address him as 'friend,' for he is
the Buddha, the Holy One. The Buddha looks with a kind heart equally
on all living beings, and they therefore call him 'Father.' To
disrespect a father is wrong; to despise him, is wicked. The
Tathagata," the Buddha continued, "does not seek salvation in
austerities, but neither does he for that reason indulge in worldly
pleasures, nor live in abundance. The Tathagata has found the middle
path."
-- Excerpt from the First Sermon at Benares
http://www.tbsn.org/ebooks/life/benares.htm
The Father had a plan in mind for us as evidenced in the conversation
he had with his close companion and attendant Ananda, shortly before
his passing away.
Ananda's Appeal:
The Venerable Ananda spoke to the Blessed One, saying: "May the
Blessed One remain, O Lord! May the Happy One remain, O Lord,
throughout the world-period, for the welfare and happiness of the
multitude, out of compassion for the world, for the benefit, well
being, and happiness of gods and men!"
And the Blessed One answered, saying: "Enough, Ananda. Do not entreat
the Tathagata, for the time is past, Ananda, for such an entreaty."
But for a second and a third time, the Venerable Ananda said to the
Blessed One: "May the Blessed One remain, O Lord! May the Happy One
remain, O Lord, throughout the world-period, for the welfare and
happiness of the multitude, out of compassion for the world, for the
benefit, well being, and happiness of gods and men!"
Then the Blessed One said: "Do you have faith, Ananda, in the Wisdom
of the Tathagata?" And the Venerable Ananda replied: "Indeed, Lord!"
"Then why, Ananda, do you trouble the Tathagata even up to the third
time?"

Who is The Son?
The Buddha: "If he is endowed with five qualities, O monks, the eldest
son of a World-ruling Monarch righteously turns the Wheel of
sovereignty that had been turned by his father. And that Wheel of
Sovereignty cannot be overturned by any hostile human being. What are
the five qualities? The eldest son of a World-ruling Monarch knows
what is beneficial, knows the Law, knows the right measure, knows the
right time and knows the society (with which he has to deal, parisa).
"Similarly, O monks, is Sariputta endowed with five qualities and
rightly turns the supreme Wheel of Dhamma, even as I have turned it.
And this Wheel cannot be overturned by ascetics, or priests, by
deities or Brahma, nor by anyone else in the world. What are those
five qualities? Sariputta, O monks, knows what is beneficial, knows
the Teaching, knows the right measure, knows the right time and knows
the assembly (he is to address)."
-- Excerpt from Anguttara Nikaya, V. 132

John:8:37: I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me,
because my word hath no place in you.
38: I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that
which ye have seen with your father.
Exodus:35:1: And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children
of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which the
LORD hath commanded, that ye should do them.
2: Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be
to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth
work therein shall be put to death.
3: Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the
sabbath day.
Numbers:15:32 And while the children of Israel were in the
wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath
day.
33 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses
and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.
34 And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should
be done to him.
35 And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to
death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the
camp.
36 And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned
him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.
John:8:44: Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your
father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not
in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a
lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45: And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
John:8:48: Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well
that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
49: Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye
do dishonour me.
The Tathagata's son:
The brahmin Sela said to the Buddha,
"You claim full enlightenment,
You tell me, O Gotama,
'I am supreme king of the Dhamma,
I make the Wheel of Dhamma revolve,
The wheel that none can stop.'
"Who is your general, that disciple
Who follows in the Master's own way?
Who is it who helps you to turn
The wheel set in motion by you?"
The Buddha replied :
"The wheel set in motion by me,
That same supreme Wheel of Dhamma,
Sariputta the Tathagata's son
Helps me in turning this wheel."
-- Excerpt from the Majjhima Nikaya 92
"Rightly speaking, were it to be said of anyone : 'He has attained
mastery and perfection in virtue, attained mastery and perfection in
concentration, attained mastery and perfection in wisdom, attained
mastery and perfection in deliverance,' it is of Sariputta indeed that
rightly speaking this should be said.
"Bhikkus, rightly speaking, were it to be said of anyone: 'He is the
*son of the Blessed One*, born of his breast, born of his mouth, born
of the Dhamma, created by the Dhamma, an heir in the Dhamma, not an
heir in material things,' it is of Sariputta indeed that rightly
speaking this should be said. Bhikkus, the matchless Wheel of the
Dhamma set rolling by the Tathagata is kept rolling rightly by
Sariputta."
-- Excerpt from the Anupada Sutta, Majjhima Nikaya 111
John:8:54: Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing:
it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom *ye say*, that he is *your
God*:
Luke:22:70: Then said they all, Art thou then the *Son of God*? And he
said unto them, *Ye say* that I am.
Matt:26:63: But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and
said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us
whether thou be the Christ, the *Son of God*.
64: Jesus saith unto him, *Thou hast said* : *nevertheless I say* unto
you, Hereafter shall ye see the *Son of man* sitting on the right hand
of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
Mark:14:61: But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the
high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the
*Son of the Blessed One*?
62: And Jesus said, *I am* : and ye shall see the *Son of man* sitting
on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
The nature of the unbound Father :
"Freed from the classification of form, the Tathagata is deep,
boundless, hard to fathom, *like the sea*. 'Reappears' doesn't apply.
'Does not reappear' doesn't apply. 'Both does & does not reappear'
doesn't apply. 'Neither reappears nor does not reappear' doesn't
apply."
-- Excerpt from the Majjhima Nikaya 72
http://www.accesstoinsight.org/canon/majjhima/mn072.html
The Father became unbound when the Son was on the cross :
Mark:15:34: And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice,
saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My
Father, my Father, why hast thou forsaken me?
The gift of the Holy Ghost :
Matt:17:20: And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye
have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this
mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and
nothing shall be impossible unto you.
Mark:11:23: For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say and
shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things
which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Luke:23:46: And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said,
*Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit*: and having said thus, he
gave up the ghost.
So according to Jesus because of his faith, after he died his spirit
was within the unbound Father, which the Buddha described being freed
from form as deep and boundless, hard to fathom, like the sea-- even
so, *boundless*. The unbound Father is the deathless and everlasting
"living waters" the source that never runs dry. Christ having achieved
unity with the unbound Father is the door to the deathless, boundless,
incorruptible Spirit.
John:7:37: In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood
and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38: He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his
belly shall flow *rivers of living water*.
39: (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him
should receive: for the *Holy Ghost was not yet given*; because that
Jesus was not yet glorified.)
40: Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said,
Of a truth this is the Prophet.
Ephesians:3:14: For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ,
Ephesians:2:18: For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto
the Father.
Ephesians:2:14: For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath
broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
15: Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of
commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain
one new man, so making peace;
Jn:14:2: In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I
would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3: And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and
receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
The Buddha: "The Dharma and the Vinaya proclaimed by the Tathagata
shine forth when they are displayed, and not when they are concealed.
But let not this doctrine, so full of truth and so excellent, fall
into the hands of those unworthy of it, where it would be despised and
condemned, treated shamefully, ridiculed and censured."
-- Excerpt from the First Sermon at Benares
http://www.tbsn.org/ebooks/life/benares.htm
Matt:7:6: Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye
your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and
turn again and rend you.
The Buddha: "I now grant you, O bhikkhus, this permission. Confer
henceforth in the different countries the ordination upon those who
are eager to receive it, when you find them worthy. Go ye now, O
bhikkhus, for the benefit of the many, for the welfare of mankind, out
of compassion for the world. Preach the doctrine which is glorious in
the beginning, glorious in the middle, and glorious in the end, in the
spirit as well as in the letter. There are beings whose eyes are
scarcely covered with dust, but if the doctrine is not preached to
them they cannot attain salvation. Proclaim to them a life of
holiness. They will understand the doctrine and accept it."
-- Excerpt from the Sermon at Benares
http://www.tbsn.org/ebooks/life/benares.htm
Mark:16:15: And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every creature.
Matt:10:13: And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it:
but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
Matt:22:8: Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but
they which were bidden were not worthy.
Revelation:10:7: But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel,
when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished,
as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
The Buddha: "He whose faith in the Tathagata is steady, established
and firm, a faith not to be destroyed by any recluse or brahman, by
any heavenly being, or Mara or Brahma, or anyone in the world, can say
: 'I am a true son of the Blessed One, born from his mouth, born of
the Dhamma, created by the Dhamma, heir of the Dhamma.'
"How so? Because these are the names tantamount to the Tathagata :
'The Dhamma-Body' and, 'Of the Highest', and 'Of the same nature as
Dhamma', and 'Of the same nature as the Highest'.
-- Excerpt from the Agganna Sutta, Digha Nikaya 16
Luke:6:35: Love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for
nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the
*children of the Highest*: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to
the evil.
The Buddha is the Lord our Father the Highest, and Jesus is his
Christ.
Revelation:11:15: And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great
voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the
kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever
and ever.
Mark:12:28: And one of the scribes came, and having heard them
reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well,
asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
29: And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is,
Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with
all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this
is the first commandment.
31: And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
32: And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the
truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
33: And to love him with all the heart, and with all the
understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and
to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt
offerings and sacrifices.
34: And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him,
Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst
ask him any question.
John:14:6: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the
life: no man cometh unto *the Father*, but by me.
1Timothy:2:5: For there is one God, and one mediator between God and
men, the man Christ Jesus;
The unbound Father is the deathless, the eternal, the everlasting.
John:6:57: As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father
(Mark:11:23 and Luke:23:46) : so he that eateth me, even he shall live
by me.
58: This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your
fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread
shall live for ever.
The Spirit of Christ abides forever in the bosom his Father.
John:10:9: I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be
saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
Galations:1:8: But though we, or an angel from heaven (And Muhammad
says the Koran was revealed to him by an angel), preach any other
gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be
accursed.
9: As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other
gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Revelation:16:17: And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the
air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from
the throne, saying, It is done.
2Corinthians:3:12: Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great
plainness of speech:
13: And *not as Moses*, *which put a vail over his face*, that the
children of Israel *could not stedfastly look to the end* of that
which is abolished:
14: *But their minds were blinded* : for *until this day* remaineth
the same vail *untaken away in the reading of the old testament* ;
which vail is done away in Christ.
15: But even *unto this day*, when Moses is read, *the vail is upon
their heart*.
Revelation:19:11: And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse;
and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in
righteousness he doth judge and make war.
13: And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is
called The Word of God.
Here is the Buddha's praise for the wisdom of the disciple whom he
called the true son of the Blessed One, from the narrative in the
Cunda Sutta, after he passed away :
The Buddha : "These, O monks, are the shell colored relics of the
bhikkhu who fulfilled the Perfections for an incalculable aeon and a
hundred thousand kalpas -- this was that bhikkhu.
"He who obtained *the seat next to me* -- this was that bhikkhu."
Hebrews:1:3: Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express
image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his
power, *sat down on the right hand* of the Majesty on high;
The Buddha is the Majesty on high.
Hebrews:8:1: Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum:
We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the
throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
The Buddha, continued : "He who, *apart from me* , had *none to equal
him in wisdom* throughout the whole ten thousandfold universe -- this
was that bhikkhu."
John:10:29: *My Father*, which gave them me, *is greater than all*;
and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
John:16:1: These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be
offended.
2: They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh,
that *whosoever killeth* you *will think that he doeth God service*.
3: And *these things will they do* unto you, *because they have not
known the Father*, nor me.
Who then is the "God" of the Old Testament?
Exodus:20:21: And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto
*the thick darkness where God was*.
Samyutta Nikaya I. Sagathavagga.4 Marasamyutta
493. Then the Blessed One, together with a number of bhikkus, went to
the Black Rock on the Isigli Slope. The Blessed One saw in the
distance the Venerable Godhika lying on the bed with his shoulder
turned.
Now on that occasion a cloud of smoke, a swirl of darkness, was moving
to the east, then to the west, to the north, to the south, upwards,
downwards, and to the intermediate quarters. The Blessed One then
addressed the bhikkus thus: "Do you see, bhikkus, that cloud of smoke,
that *swirl of darkness*, moving to the east, then to the west, to the
north, to the south, upwards, downwards, and to the intermediate
quarters?"
"Yes, venerable sir."
"That, bhikkus, is Mara the Evil One searching for the consciousness
of the clansman Godhika, wondering: 'Where now has the consciousness
of the clansman Godhika been established?' However, bhikkus, the
clansman Godhika has attained final Nibanna."
1John:1:5: This then is the message which we have heard of him, and
declare unto you, that *God is light*, and in him is no darkness at
all.
A little coded humor in the Bible :
Luke:5:39: No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new:
for he saith, The old is better.
Matthew:9:17: Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the
bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and *the bottles perish* :
but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
Mark:2:22: And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new
wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and *the bottles
will be marred* : but new wine must be put into new bottles.
Luke:5:37: And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new
wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and *the bottles shall
perish* .
Luke:5:38: But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are
preserved.
Now it's interesting, and probably a little humorous that the gospel
authors had this to remark, about what some of the unbelievers had to
say regarding the disciples :
Acts:2:13: Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
:)
14: But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and
said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem,
be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
15: For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the
third hour of the day.
They were full of new wine indeed, in the spirit of what Jesus had
taught ;)
Is the King James version of the Bible divinely inspired?
2Corinthians:9:10: Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both
minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and
increase the fruits of your righteousness;)
Notice the ;) at the end?
It's also worth mentioning that the King James Bible use of the term
"Holy Ghost" appears only in the New Testament, and not a single
instance of "Holy Ghost" is in the Old Testament.
The Holy Ghost is the spirit of the Enlightened One, the Buddha, the
Blessed One who was not yet enlightened with the unsurpassed wisdom
and knowledge in the times of the Old Testament and who had passed
away just 500 years before the coming of Christ, the Son of the
Blessed One (Mark:14:61-62)
It just so happens that the enlightened Buddha did indeed teach that
he had a true spiritual son whom he taught had no one to equal him in
wisdom throughout the universe, apart from the Buddha himself.
John:10:29: My Father, *which gave them me*, is greater than all; and
no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
The children of Israel :
Mark:2:17: When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are
whole have no need of the physician, but *they that are sick*: I came
not to call the righteous, but *sinners to repentance*.
Matthew:15:24: But he answered and said, I am *not sent but* unto the
*lost sheep of the house of Israel*.
Matthew:9:33: And when *the devil was cast out*, the dumb spake: and
the multitudes marvelled, saying, *It was never so seen in Israel*.
Matthew:8:10: When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that
followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found *so great faith*,
no, *not in Israel*.
Luke:7:9: When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and
turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say
unto you, I have not found *so great faith*, no, *not in Israel*.
Acts:2:36: Therefore let *all the house of Israel* know assuredly,
that God hath made that same Jesus, whom *ye have crucified*, both
Lord and Christ.
Acts:4:10: Be it known unto you all, and *to all the people of
Israel*, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, *whom ye
crucified*, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man
stand here before you whole.
Acts:5:31: Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and
a Saviour, for *to give repentance to Israel*, and forgiveness of
sins.
Romans:9:27: Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number
of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall
be saved.
Romans:10:1: Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel
is, that they might be saved.
The false prophecy of the day of the LORD, Old Testament :
Amos:5:18: Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end
is it for you? *the day of the LORD is darkness*, and *not light*.
19: As if a man did *flee from a lion*, and a bear met him; or went
into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and *a serpent bit
him*.
20: Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even
very dark, and *no brightness in it*?
21: *I hate*, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your
solemn assemblies.
Zephaniah:1:14: The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and
hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man
shall cry there bitterly.
15: That day is *a day of wrath*, *a day of trouble and distress*, *a
day of wasteness and desolation*, *a day of darkness* and gloominess,
a day of clouds *and thick darkness*.
Matthew:3:7: But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come
to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath
warned you to flee from *the wrath to come*?
The Old Testament prophecies of the day of the LORD, compare with
these New Testament prophecies of the day of the devil :
Revelation:12:12: Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in
them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil
is come down unto you, *having great wrath*, because he knoweth that
he hath but a short time.
2Thessalonians:2:3: Let no man deceive you by any means: for the day
of Christ shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and
that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4: Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or
that is worshipped; so that *he as God* sitteth in the temple of God,
*shewing himself that he is God*.
5: Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these
things?
6: And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his
time.
7: For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now
letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8: And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume
with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with *the brightness
of his coming*:
9: Even him, whose coming *is after the working of Satan* with all
power and signs and lying wonders,
10: And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that
perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they
might be saved.
11: And for this cause *God shall send them strong delusion*, that
they should believe a lie:
12: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, *but had
pleasure in unrighteousness*.
The prophecy of the day of the Lord according to the New Testament :
1John:1:5: This then is the message which we have heard of him, and
declare unto you, that *God is light*, and in him is no darkness at
all.
Mark:8:38: Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words
in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of
man be ashamed, when he cometh *in the glory of his Father* with the
holy angels.
Luke:17:24: For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part
under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also
the *Son of man* be in his day.
Mark:9:2: And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James,
and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by
themselves: and he was transfigured before them.
3: And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no
fuller on earth can white them.
Matthew:17:1: And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John
his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
2: And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the
sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
Luke:9:28: And it came to pass about an eight days after these
sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain
to pray.
29: And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and
his raiment was white and glistering.
2Thessalonians:2:8: And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the
Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy
with *the brightness of his coming*:
Now compare these Old Testament verses :
Amos:5:18: Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! *to what end
is it for you*? *the day of the LORD is darkness*, and *not light*.
19: As if a man did *flee from a lion*, and a bear met him; or went
into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and *a serpent bit
him*.
20: Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even
very dark, and *no brightness in it*?
With these New Testament verses :
2Timothy:4:8: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of
righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at
that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that *love his
appearing*.
The New Testament encourages us to love the appearing of the Lord, a
day of brightness in which there is laid up for those who love him, a
crown of righteousness.
The Old Testament discourages the day of the LORD, a day of no
brightness, a day being likened unto being bit by a serpent, a day of
despair and desolation and woe.
The New Testament warns of the coming of the devil, a day of wrath and
woe, when Satan will deceive many by lying wonders that he is God,
that they might all be damned who take pleasure in unrighteousness,
such as liars and murderers.
1John:2:8: Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is
true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true
light now shineth.
Christians (and all theists) should not fear the Heavenly Father,
because He is our Protector and Provider.
Christians (and all theists) should fear unrighteousness, which keeps
one separated from Christ and the Father.
If I feared the Father I would not desire to be in his presence, but
if I loved the Father I would live righteously so that I could be in
his presence with Christ, so I agree 110% with what John said
regarding fear :
1John:4:18: There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out
fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect
in love.
What John says parallels the first commandment of Christ to love the
Lord with all the heart, spirit, and mind. Such a complete love should
have no room for fear of the Lord himself, but rather it should
cultivate a fear of unrighteousness and of not being found worthy of
the kingdom.
Ephesians:4:1: I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that
ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
Colossians:1:10: That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all
pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the
knowledge of God;
1Thessalonians:2:12: That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called
you unto his kingdom and glory.
Luke:12:32: Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good
pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Romans:8:15: For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to
fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry,
Abba, Father.
Ephesians:1:3: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in
Christ:
5: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus
Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
8: Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
9: Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his
good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
10: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather
together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and
which are on earth; even in him:
11: In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated
according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the
counsel of his own will:
13: In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth,
the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye
were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
17: That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may
give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of
him:
18: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know
what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of
his inheritance in the saints,
19: And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who
believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
20: Which he wrought in Christ and set him at his own right hand in
the heavenly places,
21: Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion,
and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that
which is to come:
22: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the
head over all things to the church,
23: Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

Thanks

Yes, a unification of Buddhism and Christianity as Max Muller
predicted :
"I believe the final struggle between Buddhism and Christianity,
whenever that comes to pass, will be a hard one, and will end in a
compromise—there is a prophecy."
It just so happens he was right. The Buddha is the Spiritual Father of
Christ who is the true Son of the Blessed One (MN 111, MN 92 &
Mark:14:61-62)
