Taoism and Confucianism call this truth "Tao", "Heaven" and "Fate". Buddhism is called "Buddhism"; Christianity is called "God", "Tao" and "True Light". (Natural science is called "law", "law" and "theorem") Its similarity is that everything governs, everything obeys the truth, and everything must abide by the truth. The Tao itself remains unchanged, changing everything! Derive everything!
Except Christianity, all religions are people's pursuit of Tao. If one pursues Tao, one is not that Tao. All religions are for people to achieve the ideal state of Tao, but to do, practice and practice according to the requirements of Tao. On the other hand, only Christianity is the way to find someone. "The Tao became flesh and lived among us with grace and truth!" Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life. No one can leave me and go to the Father. This is unique. The "Tao" of other religions is often conceptual, while the "Tao" of Christianity is alive and active, rather than passively waiting for others to realize the Tao. "Tao" is not the result of human understanding and research, but the possibility that human beings can seek understanding, because the "Tao" of Christianity actively inspires people through all aspects of life and nature. Therefore, the Bible says: Since the creation of heaven and earth, the eternal power and divinity of God have been clearly recognized. Although it is invisible to the naked eye, it can be known through what he created, which is irresistible.
Taoism and Confucianism are both indigenous religions in China, and both have a potential view of "Messiah", that is, pursuing "Tao". However, Confucianism lacks the intermediary of redemption. Confucius said, "If you are guilty, don't ask God." If you offend God, it is useless to pray for any God. Confucianism advocates respecting Tianan's life and believes that people live with a mission, and people live to live according to the mission of heaven, but what is "heaven"? "What is Tao? Because it is the pursuit of people, so in the end, I understand some principles of being a man. Confucius said: I heard the Tao and died in the evening. In the final analysis, it is to serve the people. Taoism, on the other hand, has a deeper understanding of Tao and appeals to nature. Chapter 25 of Tao Te Ching: Things are born in harmony. Lonely and lonely, independent without change, walking around without danger, but the mother of heaven and earth doesn't know its name, and the strong word is Tao and the strong name is Da. Death is great, death is far away, and distance is relative. The old road is big, big, big and crowded. There are four big cities in the area, one of which is inhabited. Man's law is based on the earth, the earth is based on the sky, the sky is based on the Tao, and the Tao is natural. He saw that "Tao" was eternal and changed everything, but it was only a revelation from nature, so Taoism pursued the harmony between man and nature and a carefree life.
Buddhism is self-help teaching without God. Buddhism is atheism on the one hand and polytheism on the other. Buddhism's pursuit of Tao is for liberation, perfection and self-improvement. People can become buddhas and immortals, which is more like success! Using the principle of causality, through the principle of losing, giving up and letting go, let yourself get substantial benefits! People live a happy life and pursue happiness in this life and the afterlife, so they must practice, so in Buddhism, the meaning of human existence is for themselves!
The above three religions are all pursuing truth and answers, pursuing Tao, pursuing human efforts, pursuing human goodness, pursuing human understanding and human mind, and finally promoting people! Therefore, religion is the product of people's efforts and the result of people's pursuit of Tao.
On the other hand, Christianity is God's effort. God came to educate and save people. Man exists for God, and everything exists for God! The ultimate glory is God! The meaning of mankind is also with God!
This is the essential difference. On the surface, it is beneficial to others! But the essence is the opposite! Religion needs to increase the weight, thickness and meaning of life by doing good deeds and accumulating virtues! You can improve yourself. Christianity, on the other hand, has no cultivation problem and does not need self-improvement, but God directly adds himself to them! Their meaning is no longer themselves, but God!
From the very beginning, the Bible tells mankind that there are two ways: "The snake says to the woman: Eating it may not necessarily lead to death, but it will be like God." Religion has taken a godlike path, wanting to become a god, a Buddha and an immortal. Only Christians follow the path of God! People must make a choice on this issue!
