Messages from a senior friend!

It was surprised for me to open an email to see such long descriptive text but i did read all from the start till end. I have no idea why he wants to let me know such thing about Jesus. It's no hard then just read for my extending knowledge. To me I really do not give faith to any religion even though I'm so-called Buddhist. I would rather stand on the other side opposite 'cause the fact is i don't believe at all. How about you? Do you really believe those kinds of religions in this world? Hmm, I bet some of you might do believe and just small some may not believe just like me. One thing I would say is that "ALL RELIGIONS ARE FAKED AND CREATED BY THOSE CRAZY AND COWARD PHILOSOPHERS WHO DARED NOT TO SAY THEIR NAMES"

Here's the full content of the article from a friend of mine who seemingly obsessed to Jesus Christ. He's such a good person. He used to be Buddhist then he changed to Jesus.

Dear brother and sister,

You might find this a bit weird, why do I have to write a mail to you instead of talking, that easy to answer because I have tried it and it failed. So I decided to write this mail to you, and I hope you read it patiently. It has been a struggling for me to share good news of kingdom of God with you because I could not find any proper way to speak to you all seriously, beside end up making fun of some one in our office. So I decide to take this way to share with you about the good news of kingdom of good.

Let start by the claim that you all have claimed that you all are buddhist, I agree that you all are buddhist, I once was a buddhis as well. So let me bridged the gap between the Buddhism and christianity.

Let see what are the main doctrins of Buddha teaching. The teaching of Buddha is how can you seek the truth, the way to escape the suffering. I really admire Buddha, he had given up everything to find the way to end the suffering, which we all should follow him.

The reason that people suffer because of people have sin or karma (Bap). Sin is the root cause of all sufferings, as you can see, the killing, stealing, sexual immorality, injustice and all form of corruption in the society.

Buddha said if you call yourself a Buddhist, you have to keep at least the five commandments (sil bram: no killing, no stealing, no lying, no sexual immorality, no drinking), and once you can do all the five you will have to keep other 227 commandments for men and 311 commandments for women, then you can go to nirvana (nipean). But ask yourself can you do it?.

I will give you the story about  ” the blind turtle “.

At one a Brahman (holy man in Hindu) came to Buddha and ask him lord ” how can
a man escape the suffering or sin (bab)?”. Then Buddha told the Brahman about the story of a blind turtle.
"A king dropped a small golden box into a flowing river, three years later the king released a blind turtle to search for the box."  Buddha said to the Brahman, if the turtle could find the box then there will be chance a man can escape from suffering or sin (karma).

Buddha told this story to tell us that the wheel of karma(sin) is so great that no man could escape. So ask yourself if you die, do you know where you going? If you don't know let me recall what Buddha tought, for the price of sin or karma is burning in hell, you can argue about that if you don't agree with me. And ask yourself are you a sinner? According to what Buddha teaching, because of karma or sin that's why we born as human being else we should be in Nipean with Buddha right now, so we are sinner.

My friend we now know that we are sinner, then there must be a way to escape it. Thank God that there is a way to escape it. If you remember Buddha himself did mention about a person will come after him, and this person is Preh Se Ar Metrey, in Khmerr, in English mean the saviour of human race from karma or sin. So thank God even Buddha himself did mention about a saviour which I proclaim to you, he is Jesus Christ, the saviour of human race. Jesus himself is the creator God, for he loves us so much, even if we rejected him, mocked him, hated him and do all kinds of thing to bring him down. Instead of punishing us for our sin(karma), he takes all our sin, our karma, our transgression and put on the cross, ransom us with the price of his blood on the cross, he who knew no sin become sin so we could live forever in his king dom.

You didn't know you have a heavenly father who call you son and daughter. From now on when you see the cross, you should rejoice for knowing that Jesus have fully paid the price of our sin. No others religions in the world that proclaim the salvation guaranteed but Jesus he proclaimed, because he is God he has the power to forgive the sin of people.

If you would realised, Buddha didn't claim he is God, then what are we worshiping everyday, we are worshiping the man mad god, which never heard our prayer, but how about a God who made us, who calls us his beloved children, aren't we so heartless to accept him. Jesus is standing at your door and knocking it every day, open your heart the he will come into your life.

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Brothers and sister, the reason I eagerly to share with you about Jesus, because my heart is burning with love, that Jesus has given and I want to share it to you all. I don't want to see you fall, I want to see your life will be changed, you will find the real purpose in life, real peace, real blessing from our heavenly father.

You might think believing in Jesus, is just be in other religious, no it's not, believing in Jesus, is to earn your salvation, the eternal life, that lord Buddha himself told his disciple to wait for Preh Se Ar Metrey, the one that came after Buddha to bring the end of karma or sin. Preh Se Ar Metrey himself is Jesus Christ.

So now brother and sister what is it now that block you from receiving Jesus, I don't know probably money, reputation, family, tradition, custom or your identity as buddhis. My fiends what profit a man or woman to gain the whole world and lost his/her own soul.

Jesus he is preparing place for us in haven, and he will come again and take us there, but you have to receive him personally by faith, no other way else. Brothers and sister, I have prayed before I send this message that God will read this message to you personally. If you want to receive Jesus just read silently in your heart the following prayer

"Heavenly Father, have mercy on me, a sinner. I believe in you and that your word is true. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God and that he died on the cross so that I may now have forgiveness for my sins and eternal life. I know that without you in my heart my life is meaningless.   I believe in my heart that you, Lord God, raised Him from the dead. Please Jesus forgive me, for every sin I have ever committed or done in my heart, please Lord Jesus forgive me and come into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior today. I need you to be my Father and my friend. I give you my life and ask you to take full control from this moment on; I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ."   Amen.”

To be continued...
