I am just a little confused. There are those who chose religion over Christianity. Why? Just who has the better offer? Is Buddhism better than eternal life with Jesus. Is there something the Hindus offer that is better than what is offered by Christ.

Besides this, who has any power to fulfill any promise. I mean, to the best of my knowledge, even the Buddhists admit that Buddha is no longer living. What can he do for you? What could he do for you if he were still alive?

Only Jesus has a real promise. Only He has the power to fulfill the promise. Only He will provide you with life that will last…forever.

Why chase the counterfeit when Jesus, the real one, the only one who can truly provide you with eternal life. He not only has the better offer. He has the only offer. The rest have empty promises, if they have promises at all.

As my aside, be careful. There are those who would like you to believe they represent Christ, that they are ambassadors of the one true God. If they teach anything other than what is in the Bible, they are frauds. If they seek money and fame, be very careful. If they stand in pride in what they have done, most likely they don’t represent God. Finally, if they teach that you must belong to their church for salvation, they teach a lie.

While believing in Jesus Christ is an absolute requirement for salvation, belief in any church, in any organization, or in any person other than Jesus, is idolatry. It will gain you nothing. Rituals will not gain you salvation, even baptism and the Lords supper. However, we as Christians we observe baptism and the Lord’s supper in obedience only after we accept Jesus as our savior. Jesus, himself instituted the sacraments. He told us to celebrate the Lord’s supper in remembrance of Him. As he ascended into heaven, he told us to preach the Gospel and to baptize.
