What kind of Christianity are you if not Roman's Christianity?
May be the exotic extinct one from Persia?
The Cult Master!
(give me 1kg of gold and your virgin daughter, you will be blessed!)
Btw, since you are a Christian,
Have you ever heard and read about Theosophy?
Maitreya sect... aka White Lotus 白蓮教.
Theravada Buddhism is the original Buddhism from Sakyamuni Buddha era.
Mahayana Buddhism is a split from Theravada, because they want a new way to achieve a Buddhahood.
According to Sakyamuni Buddha, after he was gone, there will be 5 Buddhist masters.
I just remember two: Maitreya 彌勒菩薩 and Avalokitasvara 觀音菩薩.
Well, as a Chinese, we heard a lot of about Guanyin, isn't? Quite mainstream.
But Maitreya is pretty a bit of unheard... more like a secret sect, that from outside resemble a bit of Daoism and Christianity. But deep inside, it's a very Buddhist.
The main indicator of Maitreya sect of today, they always teach all religions in the world are the same.
By seeing many indicators, many people are accusing that Maitreya is the person behind many big religions worldwide, including smaller sects and some religions that is no longer exist.
It's believe that Maitreya played a big role behind the end of European colonizations, slavery worldwide, democracy, red cross and the shape of modern world today.
As well as the coming Mahdi, Jesus and future 1000 years of peace-prosperity.
In Theravada Buddhism (i guess in mahayana as well) Maitreya is a buddha who will come in the future. Present day the buddha is Gautham. And it is believed there have been many buddhas in the human history. Theravada sect see Maitreya as a buddha who will come in the future and therefore see it is useless to worship him. It is the present buddha who is the mainstream.
I dont see how Maitreya is the reason for many religions world wide.

I haven't read much on Theosophy. But it's just like any other syncretist religion, copying n pasting from other religion to make something more interesting for other people.
White Lotus is also syncretist. They copy the millennium idea from the Nestorian scripture (eastern christianity) in China before 1200AD.
In Buddhism, near the future, there will be a great war that killed 99.99% of humanity.
The survivors are those who hide in the underground bunkers,
Who will refill and rebuild the world again into a far better world.
The idea of apocalypse is common in many world religions, in Hinduism its the Kalki(the last Avatar of Vishnu) who will come at the end of Kaliyuga(age of Vice) and establish Satyuga(Age of Truth).
Do you know about Theosophy?
And Judaism Kabbalah?
I think you missed the larger and most important part of Christianity.
well i may not know about those esoteric mysterious teachings but certainly they are dubious.
I think you are direct interpreting it, without knowing the explanation behind it.
the statement is very plain & direct ..what is there trying to hide behind something?
It's a marriage!
Be married and having a family is a common life by almost all people, an ordinary worldly life, a sinner life.
Only people who understand and willingly to leave a common marriage life path,
They are ready to became a true Christian.
no. that is saying putting god above everything.
The meaning and wisdom of that sentence is actually very deep and need further explanation.
People make a joke, instead of marrying opposite gender, you are marrying God.
That's a strange claim. ALL, and I said all, wars, conflicts, famines and epidemics that have occurred in the Christian era have Christian conspiracy or money behind them. You name one that was not, and I will show how it was.Islam should take example of Christianity. We dont blow up things and arent making any noise yet daily people convert to Christianity

If I were Chinese, I know which one of these men I would consider to be worth admiring.
Because it isn’t just Americans. It's most every credible historian, demographer, human rights groups, and most of the actual data, comes from Chinese sources, not Western ones. For instance, a Hong Kong based historian who had access to Chinese state archives when they were opened to him for yours ago wrote a book based on their data that states that during the period of 'Great Leap Forward', "at least 45 million people were worked, starved or beaten to death in China over these four years; the worldwide death toll of the Second World War was 55 million." "State retribution for tiny thefts, such as stealing a potato, even by a child, would include being tied up and thrown into a pond; parents were forced to bury their children alive or were doused in excrement and urine, others were set alight, or had a nose or ear cut off. One record shows how a man was branded with hot metal. People were forced to work naked in the middle of winter; 80 per cent of all the villagers in one region of a quarter of a million Chinese were banned from the official canteen because they were too old or ill to be effective workers, so were deliberately starved to death.".I just don't know why you americans always say that mao kill millions of people,
