We all are "the second coming of Christ [not of Jesus - but of
"Christ"]. Teaching point to realization. We all have/are the potential
to realize this - for this to be realized - all have/are Buddha nature -
to awaken to (call it what you like). That's the point of the teachings.
Otherwise why come to teach the 'first' time? Applies to equally Jesus'
or Buddha's story.
The whole 'give a man a fish/teach a man to fish' schtick.
Surely you have always realized this?! *L*

Merle,
In one of your posts a long time ago and far, far away (that means I
couldn't find it) you castigated me for stating that Christians and
Muslims did bad things during the Crusades in the name of their
religions. You used a quote of Jesus from the Bible and I think it was:
"Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone...
- John 8:7 (English Standard Version)
I have already stated in an early post (an even longer time ago and
further away) that I considered myself pretty knowledgeable about
Christianity and very knowledgeable about the teaching of Jesus. I
didn't respond to this part of your post at that time because I didn't
consider this quote really relevant to our discussion, but I would
like to respond now.
I am without sin so would be eligible to throw stones if and when the
situation calls for that.
...Bill!
