[brother Willi]

"I see all the different religious traditions as paths for the development of inner peace, which is the true foundation of world peace. These ancient traditions come to us as a gift from our common past. Will we continue to cherish it as a gift and hand it over to the future generations as a legacy of our shared desire for peace?"

Jesus Christ said

Jesus Christ said

"He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."

Jesus Christ

There is a way that seems right to a man*, But its end is the way of death.

Solomon, Proverbs 14:12, 16:25




*like the Dalai Lama, for instance.

 

[brother Willi]

didnt Jesus say somethin about testin the spirits?

 

[Turbo]

Yep.

• Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 1 John 4:1

The Dalai Lama fails the test.

Nothing wrong with other's speaking of love and peace.

They just don't carry the weight of spiritual authority for Christians, any more than, say, the words of Winston Churchill or Mao.

They follow a false path.

Christ tells us that He is the one way, the only way to the Father.

There are plenty of paths, and if Christ was a liar, then the they all might be OK.

I believe otherwise.

Neither. You would be less dangerous if you listened to the Dalai Lama, but you'd still be on a path that doesn't lead to salvation.
