Message: <blockquote data-quote="dhewruwan" data-source="post: 13680410" data-attributes="member: 403929">Have  we not here the gravestone of Buzi Ezekiel's father who followed after  wayward and idolatrous Israel even from Media to the Caspian Sea, and  whose monotheistic teaching is now corrupted in modern Buddhism but not  without trace of the original Buddha's system founded on Old Testament  teaching?It  is not claimed that Buddhism in its present corrupted form, or those  who now profess it, are Israelite, any more than that Latin Christianity  and the Latin people are truly Christian or of Israel. What modern  Romanism is to New Testament Christianity modern Buddhism is to the  Israelite teaching of the primitive founder of Buddhism. Both are  apostacies adopted or adapted by alien races, through Asoka in one case  and Pope Gregory on the other; both when traced to their source prove  their indebtedness to the Bible and Israel as the once for all chosen  channel of Divine revelation and benediction to mankind.  In  Japan the Rissho Association, based on right teaching, aspires to lead a  revival of Buddhism. Dr. Charles Iglehart, a leader of the Protestant  movement in Japan for fifty years, says: "Protestantism  never really came to grips with the common people of Japan.  Protestantism is an urban, middle-class, intellectuals religion."....  "The truth is, Christian Churches do not proclaim the original faith of  Jesus, any more than Buddhist temples reproduce the teaching of the  historic Buddha." The Buddhists have never ceased to expect the "Desire of all Nations"  to come, and when our Lord returns to this earth, according to His sure  promise, there are 500,000,000 Buddhists waiting to acclaim Him as  their long expected Messiah. They in turn will be missionaries in many  heathen lands, and when purified from error have their part in the great  consummation of the ages when Our Lord " shall see of the travail of His soul and be satisfied." Then also will be fulfilled the prophecy delivered by Him during His ministry "They  shall come from the east and from the west and from the north and from  the south and shall sit down in the Kingdom of God." Luke XIII.29.</blockquote>
