You obviously don't believe that the Bible is the word of God. You deny what it says. By the Bible's own testimony, God rejects human good. Human good as I have already said, is the basis by which the unbeliever is condemned to the lake of fire. As do many, you reject what is clearly taught in the word of God and substitute your own personal beliefs.
The answer is simple. We ALL are searching for the truth. For me, part of my "truth seeking" involves reading the opinions of others. However, one can not find the truth by simply listening to those that only agree with him/her.
Personally, I am convinced that the bible (and every other religion) does not have the entire story correct. Forums like this one is how I learn about what is true and what is just religious dogma. We must remember that religion is mostly faith based (not fact based). A person that is truly in search of the truth will not let the constraints of religious ideology (or atheist ideology) stand in his/her way.
From my perspective the truth of God's written word is in me to think, say, and do, with no constraints to live and to love. Hope God's truth finds you well.
I'm not sure if the Pali Tripitaka or the I Ching are seen as inspired by God and I'd go so far as to say I kind of doubt it. Buddhism is somewhat agnostic. There are Buddhists who believe in God or gods, but I don't think Buddhism itself is seen as coming from a God or gods. The I Ching is somewhat about divination and I'm not entirely sure what it's origin is seen as being, but I don't think it's considered divinely inspired in the sense we would mean by the phrase.
Just because they(who wrote the website) do not understand what was being said, does not mean they are right in their assessments.
Guess what, Jesus and Paul taught the same thing. Sorry. Want to start a thread on it, go for it.
We've been there and done that already....quite effectively I might add.
