No License To Be Wrong

"Jesus and Buddha cannot both be right. The lotus is the symbol of Buddhism; the cross the symbol of the Christian faith. Behind the two symbols stand two diametrically opposed beliefs. I ask you, the reader, to examine the message of each, using both your heart and your mind. It is worth the exercise because it will determine your destiny. One day we will all find out that being respectful and sincere does not give us license to be wrong. Truth demands investigation and committment. Our conclusions must be in keeping with Truth that can be tested. To be handcuffed by a lie is the worst of all imprisonments."
-Ravi Zacharias in the introduction to his book "The Lotus and The Cross."

budda never died for anyone, but our Savior Jesus died and took our filty sin upon himself And arose in three days. He conquered death wich was our enemy in order that we have forgiveness for our sin and safe us from the eternal fires and deepest pits of hell........... What a Faithful redeaming God we serve!
