(Vinaya Mahavagga 1:11.1), "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you." E.g. Jeremiah of the OT and/ Lehi if you believed in the Book of Mormon which was a record of the Jews who traveled from the East to the Americas). Perhaps you too can find some fascinating details of your heritage and even come up with numbers on your own. Do good and you will do no wrong. Instead of just telling your readers what you believe, convince them that what you believe is correct, with evidence and counterarguments. However, Jesus didn't stop there as Buddha did. The Bible refers to this event as occurring on “the first day of the first month.” This event on Noah’s Ark happens exactly one year after the death of Methuselah on Friday September 13 – Tishri 1 in 2457 BC. My closest direct ancestor with the Queen of England and her descendants is King Edward I, the Longshanks, who lived in the 1200s and early 1300s. ~1735 – Ruth Johnson b. 1406, Owen Ogle 2nd Baron Ogle b. So Christian's can be a Buddhist and not break the commandment that states, thou shalt not put any other gods before me. All the pagans, Greek, Chinese, Hinduism religions existed before Abrahamic religions. Buddha never claimed to be divine, and his death is considered the end of his story. Also, the person up top said he was a poor carpenter and it would be difficult for him to travel. In Buddhism, I found lokhutara's teaching when Buddha was teaching Dhamma to Bahiya (Bahiya Sutta), the point is anatha, this is the real Buddhism teaching to be realized by experience life. Adam & Eve story similar to Atman and Jeewa, a pair of birds in Hinduism, big flood, survivor Noah/3 sons same as Manu/3 sons. This is why they rather spend more time during mass and don't just use a stationed money box like Buddhism, Hinduism or Chinese temples. 14) The Bible condemned dogs because they know dogs are man's best friend. It well proved no God but maybe it proved karma as all these people are either of Chinese or Korean origin and they betrayed their ancestors and culture. A typical tactic and deception of satan's. There is no evidence that the name Mary came from this. ~1446, Ralph Ogle 3rd Baron b. But you can be a Buddhist and not a Christian and still follow Christ and worship the creator if you feel uncomfortable around Christians, Jews, or Catholics or religion in general. When the Dalai Lama was in Italy and wanted to meet him, Francis turned down because he is afraid of losing income from China. 1382 – Sir Robert Ogle, Warden of Roxborough Castle b. Maya to Mary, miracle pregnancy to virgin pregnancy, birth during a journey home to from home, prophesied soon after birth, had a disciple who betrayed them etc. John Tyler had a son named Lyon Gardiner Tyler Sr. when he was 63 in 1853. It is also possible that Solomon took his teachings from an even more ancient source. By the time the Israelites entered the Promised Land, the population had grown to more than 1.2 million people, if you presume there are about the same number of females as males over the age of 20, in Numbers 1:1–3 and 2:32. In the case of former President Tyler’s grandsons who are still alive, it may be fewer, considering his family’s case in the last 230 years. Both are reasonable, given what we know, and useful for approximating others’ lineages. I wanted to make clear that just because I spoke of Jesus' teachings I was not implying that Jesus existed. Why does God want to confuse us so much?Shall we add prankster to his list of titles? But I also loved the stories about Moses parting the Red Sea, David slaying Goliath, Jesus whipping the money changers in the temple. Just your inference that he did not exist with the inference that Buddha did exist is illogical. (Dhammapada 1.5 &17.3), Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. Missionary activity can explain some but I favor the explanation of prior cultural sharing by the movement and interactions of communities/populations. Catherine Giordano (author) from Orlando Florida on November 13, 2017: Jimmy Newfeld: Thanks for letting me know you liked it. In Sunday school we got to read cool stories. FlourishAnyway from USA on July 28, 2016: What a careful and thoughtful analysis you have done here! How Many Human Generations Are There from Adam Until Today? Non-believers don't even believe this God ever existed. I did mention that Solomon might have been the source for both Buddha and Jesus. Nothing was made without Him making it. https://owlcation.com/humanities/Jesus-Who-The-His... One is the great-minds-think-alike theory which states that the same story arises independently at different times and in different cultures. (Luke 6:29, "If you do not tend to one another, then who is there to tend you? Good stuff, I am glad I came for a visit. Their God killed countless people when Satan only killed a few. Eventually, this idea fell out of favor as the 20th century progressed and was barely held by any scholars at all by the 1960s. Actually, it is about the sayings of Blaise Pascal. It's like what Mr Deeds did to that football player who wouldn't stop cursing in front of the ladies. They are irrelevant in my opinion. Look at what buddha preached 600 years before Jesus came. Beyond the treat everyone like you want to be treated and love your enemy. Words are words. Although Noah lived 950 years, his father, Lamech, lived only 777 years (granted we do not know if he died from old age). Evil people this day and age are way too over powered for good to be letting them get away with violence. The covering on Noah’s Ark is removed the following year according to Genesis 8:13 when Noah is 601 years old. You have read the essays that I write and perhaps you have gotten to know me through them. 1665 – Rachel (Baker) Bunting b. A soul, within a soul. He is the bridge that gives us access to the creator so that we may be with Him after this physical existence. 1485, Margaret (Forester) Heron b. 1635. Only a fool will believe in any divine power or divine one. They call him The Creator. Catherine Giordano (author) from Orlando Florida on July 29, 2016: Larry Rankin: Now that you mention it, I can see that if they lived in modern times, they would be hippies. The example of Maya and Mary....one has to determine what they mean ...Maya means "Illusion" in sanskrit/pali...while Mary comes from Hebrew...possibly Egyptian....from Hebrew מִרְיָם (Miryam), a name borne by the sister of Moses in the Old Testament. Much of what you have said in this comment is just a repeat of what you said in your first comment. Buddha means "Enlightened". Even if there was a Creator, it is irrational to believe it is your God or to think that this Creator can help you in any way. Just to add on, the Old Testament was written in Hebrew and the New Testament in Greek. The trick is if you know people behind could be watching you, you will be shy not to pay and tend to pay more. 15) If they believe God created everybody, then they should accept homosexuals are God's creation too. I come from a different angle as I see Buddha as intellectual of love and I see Christ as the living love. They also proved their God is fake or useless. Jesus existed before the foundation of the universe was laid. They both said that people should not care about earthly things, like riches or possessions. 1)Why need Jesus for love when the Buddha's Noble 8 Fold Path is already complete, flawless covered everything? Beside Buddha, Jesus also copied from Horus and Mithra. 4)Thinking that a fake God religion(see 16 evidence) or any blind faith beliefs can make you happy is foolish. The man walked the earth and taught us what WE are. The dharma wheel symbolizes the eightfold path of Buddha. There are a few things to consider. I can't say which of those options are true. There are 66 generations from Noah to Christ, and there are 77 generations from Noah to me. There are universal trueths even cosmic laws.Jesus existed at creation and has no begining and no end. Finally, evidence of Christianity is not the same thing as evicence of Christ. Bless Moses the law of God, Jesus Christ the love of God, and Muhammed the wraith of God. 2948 BC, d. 1998 BC), Bedwig (a son after the dispersion at Babel), Geat (founder of the Geats (Gēatas/Gotar/Goths) in southern Sweden), Woden (Othin/Odin/Oden/Bodo) (King of most Northern Europe; b. I think 2 more very obvious similarities should be included in the first group of similarities(where you mentioned Maya and Mary): 1) Both are born during a journey, Buddha on the way away from home while Jesus was born during a journey home. Therefore, Jesus Christ Israelite. Buddha was an earlier incarnation of Jesus. Ideas cannot travel like domesticated animals and marketable goods. But there are other parts of their life stories (the mythical parts, like walking on water) that are part of the "hero archetype.". (2) Nevertheless, due to this media and internet age, the "Jesus Myth" hypothesis has undergo something of a revival such as , the internet and self-publishing services like this one. Catholics used Teresa and made so much money from the Indians but after her death, those money are not returned to the Indians who are poorer than the Vatican. Thy will be done. Both trade and the wars of the ever-expanding Roman Empire facilitated contact. There were Jewish settlements in India during the time of Buddha and Jesus could also have been in contact with the Essences in Judea during his time. Though this lineage is known, it is deemphasized and largely ignored in our secular culture that insists in recent times that we are the progeny of animals instead of Noah. This rapid Israeli growth explains why there are more generations from Noah to Jesus down the line of Shem than there are generations from Japheth to me (Bodie). Why should a Creator God's religion condemned non-believers or even created non-believers ? Kind of weird but he and I kind or live in a spiritual world more that most. Beside Buddha, Jesus also copied from Horus and Mithra. He was also placed under house arrest by the Roman Emperor. (Matthew 7:1–5), "Let us live most happily, possessing nothing." Amen! Making men lonely is the best way to keep them dependant on religion. If im lying im dying. They use violence only in defense. After all, this is but one lineage on my grandmother’s side. 5) Maby of the Bible's mythologies are similar with other older pagans, Greek, Egyptian or Hinduism religions. Yes, the 3 wise men were from India. All the pagans, Greek, Chinese, Hinduism religions existed before Abrahamic religions. they both stress the importance of helping others. I noticed that you to put the word in quotes also. U.S.A. on April 21, 2017: Very interesting. Each new religion borrows from the ones that came before. Matthew 25:34, Acts 2:23, Romans 8:29, Ephesians 1:4, 1 Timothy 3:16, Hebrews 1:2 etc. Jesus was born there too. 14) The Bible condemned dogs because they know dogs are man's best friend. However, Buddha, himself, did not proclaim himself a deity or make any claims of miracles. (The links in the article show why I believe this way.) Catherine Giordano (author) from Orlando Florida on February 22, 2018: An interesting interpretation, but I don't buy it. Take the battle as a friendly competition with love in your heart. I found your comment interesting. That's sad. The trick is if you know people behind could be watching you, you will be shy not to pay and tend to pay more. Perhaps, as many people do, Sceaf was a person named for his ancestor Japheth (Sceaf). ), "Judge not, that you be not judged… And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?" Also, I never said that you said that both men's lives were the same, only debating things that you said were similar. Rome never fell. One last time. ~1520-1530, John Stackhouse b.1550 – Ellen Clark b. It’s possible then that these are two separate lineages were convoluted. Overcome the miser by giving, overcome the liar by truth. By adding these up, we arrive at our Lord Jesus Christ being my 155th cousin (based on the CU method).17. Genesis 50:20 “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.” 8. Actually, we can in some instances. 13) The Bible is full of lust(Sodomon's part), evil and violence. Jesus according to the Bible was born of no earthly father, but an earthly mother who was a virgin and miraculously made with child via God. Why did Jesus wait so long to be born and why did he choose that particular time and place to be born. 1974 – Renee Ham b. Jesus Christ learned this knowledge and spread it around. You are citing "Pascal's Wager. 1611, Ellen (Stackhouse) Cowgill b. I pray that the Holy Spirit comes upon you and softens your heart to the gospel of Jesus Christ and him shed his blood for all of us. Im not saying believe everything it talks about. I feel there is just as much evidence that he existed as many other historical figures of those times. Giving "free will" as an excuse is not acceptable as earlier they claimed God killed all people with a big flood because they sinned. It was meant as a metaphor. It is quite likely that the authors of The Holy Bible were aware of both Buddha and Buddhist ideas. It was reaffirmed during the Life of Jesus of Nazareth. There is also the possibility that ideas “met halfway.” It did not require one person to traverse the 3000 miles. When the Dalai Lama was in Italy and wanted to meet him, Francis turned down because he is afraid of losing income from China. But I have actually witnessed miracles, God's power. 6 and the last paragraph that explain them all: 1) The Bible condemned non-followers, clearly mentioned in Mark's words. The reason the similarities exist between many religions can be summed up in one word: syncretism. Catherine Giordano (author) from Orlando Florida on August 02, 2016: Jodah: Thanks for your comment. 9) Behavior of their leaders: The case of Mother Teresa and Pope Francis. GE 6:4 There were Nephilim (giants) before the Flood. I will match my awe of life and the entire universe against yours any day. Even the names of Abraham and wife/sister Sarah sounded similar to Brahma and Saraswathi beside having similar story. Science, philosophy, politics, and religion are frequent topics for writer and public speaker Catherine Giordano. For this reason, Christians can now make the assumption that the legend of Buddha was changed over time. Catherine Giordano (author) from Orlando Florida on October 26, 2017: I agree that the Bible has been altered and that it doesn't tell the truth. 9) Behavior of their leaders: The case of Mother Teresa and Pope Francis. No other name can do this. Internet Explorer is no longer supported. GE 6:3 The Lord said, "My spirit will not be in man forever, for he is only flesh; so the days of his life will be a hundred and twenty years." Assuming longer times between each generation, according to the biblical record of lifespans before the Flood, and using today's slow mutation rate, the 1,656 years between Adam and Noah would have produced the small number of differences that the short lines between … But there is no "living spirit." It's obvious to note that the legend of Buddha is older than this but if you're going to assert that Christians stole the legend of Buddha to craft Jesus, then you need concrete evidence not relying on sources that post dates Jesus. 8) A true creator god would not “produce or allowed" other religions to exist earlier. Consider this in regards to Japheth and his progeny’s early lineage. Certainly not. Both Noah and Manu were then said to repopulate the earth, and all human beings could trace their ancestry to either one of these flood survivors. This is why they rather spend more time during mass and don't just use a stationed money box like Buddhism, Hinduism or Chinese temples. 2) Both are prophesied by someone soon after birth. I think what would be more accurate and what you are trying to imply is Legend vs Myth vs Folklore/Folktale, to which there is no singular word to describe that. 2 He was with God in the beginning. And mean it. I also need to state that while Gautama Buddha was probably an actual person (born about 600 years before the time of Jesus in the region of India now known as Nepal), there are many myths that have become attached to his story. To compare Buddha to Jesus Christ is a false accusation. So about how many generations are there from Adam to people today? Jesus's message, while it teaches one to live a better, more moral life, it's about a personal relationship with our Heavenly Father how to gain access to him beyond the physical. Catherine Giordano (author) from Orlando Florida on August 13, 2017: Allie. Noah was to find one male and one female of every kind of animal and bird and take them into the ark. Adam lived about 800 years after he had his first son, so Noah was actually born only 200 years after Adam died. Lord budha is not a god or a alien he is a human and he became to nirwana. However it was most likely originally an Egyptian name, perhaps derived in part from mry "beloved" or mr "love". This is very unlikely. Arm yourselves. You're truly missing out, by choice. Did Jesus return to Palestine and tell these stories? But why then does the bible condone certain practices (sins) that seem ridiculous? So the lineage of Jesus, which comes through the Israelites rapid growth period, is far more than typical gentiles—especially of that time (the Egyptians wanted to slow their growth if you recall). The New Testament or New Covenant is predicated on a promise, John 3:16-17 = Jesus Saves. I wouldn't regard that as miraculous. I’m going to stick with syncretism: Everything builds on what came before. If Noah was a mythical figure and a global flood a fable, the warnings of Peter and Jesus for those living in the last days would be meaningless. P.S. Another reason for 77 generations from Noah in my lineage is that lineage also heavily depends on generation times in Japheth’s line—their ages for instance, particularly the age at which their respective sons were born. (Matthew 28:19-20). This line presumes Sceaf is not a variant name of Japheth but a name of a person far down the line of Japheth.16 By this lineage, Adam is my 100th great grandfather, and Noah is my 90th great grandfather. viewing or listening to stories from the Gospels of Jesus praying (e.g. One either accepts it's philosophical approach, or not. Catherine Giordano (author) from Orlando Florida on November 02, 2017: Eric Dieker: We take different approaches to life. 1949 – James Alfred Hodge b. :). (Matthew 25:45), "The fault of others is easily perceived, but that of oneself is difficult to perceive; a man winnows his neighbour's faults like chaff, but his own fault he hides." To hell with honor. Tis too," ad infinitum. If you believe in God, & when you die and there Is no God or Heaven. I have heard the theory that Jesus did not die on the cross, but survived and went to India. These living grandsons are only the third generation!11. But Christ is in the middle, meaning Love sits in the middle. That is the message of the New Testament in a nutshell, Jesus Saves and Jesus is God.
