That is what I mean by false religion to ME.
Yes, and Jesus studied the Lotus sutra and therefore was a Buddhist. Also, he was a Jew and rejected anyone who was not a Jewish, therefore, you are not among those Jesus was talking about (unless you are Jewish).
When Jesus says "judge" he means hypocritical judgeing. ( You took that out of context)
Jesus never studied the Lotus.
when he said "he who is not with me is against me"
he was not talking about who is jewish and who is not he was speaking of those who did not help him gather for the Kingdom of Heaven.
Oh, and Jesus excepted those who were not Jewish.
Read the parable of The Good Samaritian.

Scripture to back that up.
Also the "Good Samaritan"....could be taken from the meaning as one that departed from the knowledge that one was one with god, and casted it aside...only but to return.

I think you have never read the Lotus Sutra. Many of the teachings of Jesus are similar to those found in the Lotus Sutra, and the Lotus Sutra is at least 500 years older than Jesus. There are stories of Jesus going to India and maybe even to Tibet. He could have easily read the Lotus Sutra. So, I don’t know for sure, but I think it makes a lot of sense to me.

Jesus=Buddah teachings?...Hmmmm...what do ya think?
Things could be simalre, that dosent mean we to jump to conclusions.
Many New Agers have claimed that Jesus went to India as a child to learn from Hindu gurus. He supposdley later went to Israel and performed miracles learned from these gurus, and taught doctrines He learned from them.
Such an idea is preposterous.
To begin with, Jesus' teaching about God was not pantheistic ("all is God"😉, as was that of the gurus of India.
Jesus never cited the Hindu Vedas but always the Jewish Old Testament which proclaimed the monotheistic God of Judaism (see Mark 12:29).
There is virtually NO evidence that Jesus studied in India.
Though the Gospels do not directly address Jesus' childhood, there are convincing indirect evidences that He remained in Palestine. Luke 2:52 summarizes Jesus' life from age 12: "And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man."

Then why is there a similarity in the teachings? Did god have two plans going?
Lets say you have a brother. You go to New York, you find a guy who looks like him.
1. They dress the same
2. Same skin color
3.Same voice tone
Would you say that this man is your brother? Jesus has simalre teachings, but very very diffrent ones than that of Buddah. You can find things simalre every where, but it is all by CHANCE. (ussaly)

I find it strange that in general, when Christians discount evolution they say “how could the world come together by chance?”, but when it is shown that the teachings of Jesus are similar to the teachings of Buddha, they say “it is just accidental chance that the teachings are similar.
Nothing ever happens by chance.

Things do happen by chance. Jesus and Buddhas teachings are not as simalre as people think.
Evoultion, sorry I belive in intelligent design.
I am sorry too. I believe evolution is intelligent design. All things that happen are the result of cause and effect (karma).
