TemplarKnight1: TemplarKnight1: And why? It’s been around longer than Christianity.

You have gotten answers from many different angles and they are all somewhat right.

What I understand is that Buddhism is a belief system that does not reflect Divine Revelation. The Jews and Christians come from Divine Revelation, not from the limited (finite) mind of man, like the pagan nations. God loves all of His creation and desires that they love Him in return. That is how they will find his truth, peace, and love.

There were many pagan nations, and out of them Abraham came. Divine Revelation began, and found its fulfillment in the Incarnation of Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Buddha did not rise from the dead.

The starters of all other religions did not rise from the dead. (Mohammad, among others).

Jesus Christ rose from the dead! He is truly God Incarnate, 100% man and 100% God!

When Christians pick up their cross and strive to follow Jesus with the help of the grace he purchased for us, then others will begin to recognize Him, and want His peace and joy in the midst of the confusion and chaos all around us.
