In the Secret Book of John, written by 185 A.D. at the latest, reincarnation is placed at the center of the discussion concerning the salvation of souls. The following is a summary of the Secret Book of John's perspective on reincarnation.

Everyone has drunk from the water of forgetfulness and lives in a state of ignorance. Some people are able to overcome ignorance by having the life-giving Spirit descend upon them. These souls "will be saved and will become perfect," that is, escape the cycle of birth and rebirth. John asks Jesus what will happen to those who do not attain salvation. They are hurled down "into forgetfulness" and thrown into "prison," the Christian Gnostic symbol for a new body.

Jesus says the only way for these souls to escape is to acquire knowledge after coming from forgetfulness. A soul can accomplish this by finding a teacher (Like Lord Buddha) who can lead the soul in the right direction:

"This soul needs to follow another soul in whom the Spirit of life dwells, because she is saved through the Spirit. Then she will never be thrust into flesh again." (Secret Book of John 14:20)

My dear friends

We all have the same problem “Problem of suffering” according to the Buddhism there are four common problems such as Birth, Disease, Old Age & Death.

Ok cool! this is universal for anyone who lives on earth Buddha found a way to end this problems that is to stop Birth (Ipadima) if there is no birth means no disease no ageing or death so Buddha automatically remove the root causes to these problems

On the other hand does Christians have the Answer?

Birth
God create the man
In me you live and move and have your being …. Acts 17:28
For you are my offspring …. Acts 17:28
I knew you even before you were conceived … Jeremiah 1:4-5
I knit you together in your mother’s womb … Psalm 139:13


Desease

(Matthew 8 & 9)
Jesus Heals a Paralyzed man
Jesus Heals a man –
Jesus Heals a Roman Officer’s servant
Jesus Heals many people
Jesus Heals Two Men with Demons
Jesus Heals two blind men

There are many other things that Jesus did. If they were all written down one by one, I suppose that the whole world could not hold the books that would be written (John)


Death
Jesus Raises a Window’s son – Luke 7:11-17
He himself raise from the dead (Bible)


So by reading following chapters you will find the answers, Jesus definitely had the answer therefore some people tried to say that Jesus didn’t exist but still Jesus is the most famous person ever lived on this world, still the whole world believe in him

Well….. both of them had the answer, Jesus show that he has the control over everything. But on the other hand Buddha came up with a creative answer instead of finding a solution he remove the question. Wow quite amazing isn’t it

Some says “prevention is better than cure” for them I suggest to follow Buddhism. But sometime (Most of the Time) we can not be prevented, can we? For them I suggest Christianity

SIN

What happen to Evil deeds (Bad Karma) that we have done? According to the Buddhism you can not escape from the effects . They said there is a universal law governs on this issue which we called “cause and effect “ only way to escape is to attain Nibbana (Enlighten) by following the eightfold path

As far as the Christianity is concerns they also believe that there is a Universal Law (God’s Law of the Nature) the Cause and effect “you reap what you sow”

Is there any exception ?

Yes, Christians Believe that God created this world and this whole process therefore he is the law giver he can do anything so if you believe in him he can save you he can bring the salvation he can interfere

Who said so ? The Bible

“Those who believe in the Son are not judge; but those who do not believe have already been judge, because they have not believe in God’s only son. This is how the judgment works; the light has come to the world, but people love the darkness rather than the light” – John 3:18-19

No doubt if God create this world he might have the power to forgive our sins power to convert all kamma as defunct (ahosi) kamma power to nullify the negative effect of that particular Kamma

But can we prove Nirwana? can we prove God Existence ?

Both concepts can not prove to anyone both should experienced by himself only. If some one find it still he might find difficult to explain it by words

So no point of arguing , no point of criticizing, follow the right path

Remember one thing in your mind we can not say one religion is wrong or far superior than the other until we know the both religion well
