Responding To A Buddhist

Even if you don't get to meet people in person, there can be opportunities at your fingertips.
I hope this online exchange I had with a Buddhist will encourage you to take your opportunities where you find them.
The person I responded to claims to have achieved deliverance from suffering.


Response:

The only way to be made right with God is through Jesus Christ.
All other paths lead to eternal punishment in Hell.
Jesus says He is the way, the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father but through Him.
God is light, and in Him, there is no darkness at all.
All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ.
You cannot attain sinlessness through meditation or by following a man-made path.
Heaven is not a state of mind.
You need Christ's perfection, and the only way to receive that is by grace through faith alone in Christ alone.  You must believe that Jesus died for your sins & that He rose for your justification, or you will not live in a blissful eternal state.
You will know suffering.
Do you bleed when you get cut?   The effects of sin on your life are still there, and if you have sinned by not worshipping God, lying, lusting, stealing, gossiping, coveting, or in any other way, you are going to come before God's judgment seat.
Are you ready?  What will you say?
