Description
JESUS is BUDDHA
James Beverley: 'The Dalai Lama wrote in one of his books that Jesus is "a fully enlightened being." Given that affirmation, I said to him that if Jesus is fully enlightened then He must have taught the truth about His identity as Son of God, and as Lord and Saviour. "Otherwise, He wouldn't be that enlightened, would He?" The Dalai Lama's answer astonished me a year ago, and it still does. He said that Jesus was allowed to teach things that were not true because the people were not ready for the highest truths. He made it clear that he does not regard Jesus as a liar in any sense since He was teaching for a good cause.'
James Beverley is professor of theology and ethics at Tyndale Seminary in Toronto

"How, then, did Christianity begin?
Nobody, however learned, really knows for certain.
We do know that there was a lot of heated
expectation in Palestine before and just after the beginning of the
Common Era (C.E.) that Joshua, the fabled hero of olden times,
would soon return to lead the Jews to victory and freedom.
Joshua is identical to Jesus (Yeshua). It means "God saves."
There may have been Jewish mystery cults who thought of Joshua
as God's anointed (Christos means just that).
Hence they were devoted to Yeshua as Christos.
In Greek, that would be Jesus Christ."
