![HOW IS THE BUDDHIST “BAHA’I FAITH” GREATLY IMPACTING WESTERN CULTURE TODAY? [2 of 5] Bahai teaches that we can attain accurate beliefs through all sorts of “sacred” texts that are revered by faith systems around the world. This is the same belief we see with the modern New Age movement, a Hinduism-inspired religion for Western society that advocates its followers choose whatever “truth” they’d like; maybe a bit of Christianity combined with some Buddhist Baha’i beliefs and a sprinkling of whatever other philosophies and religious teachings they would like. From that self-chosen mishmash, Baha’i and New Age
adherents are taught to claim that they have reached the “ultimate truth.”; Both religions also believe God showed us His will through revelations brought by the many historical figures He sent us. Hinduism and Baha’i refer to those people as avatars (divine teachers), or prophets, and Bahai believes that these manifested helpers from God have been equally important people, meaning Jesus was no better or worse than Moses, Buddha, Mohammed, Confucius, and the rest. Today, we hear that
exact mindset all over America and even in the Church; supposed Christians have
joined in on the absurd claim that Jesus was “just another great teacher,” no different
than Mohammed, Confucius, or other leaders of faith movements throughout
history. That thinking comes from Bahai, and because uniformed people
think this erroneous sentiment feels and sounds nice, affirming all faiths
as being true, they spread the harmful, cancerous lie through our airwaves
and conversations, while they don’t even know where it came from. | image tagged in buddhism,bahai,hindu,god,bible,religion | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5ykb6e.jpg)
![HOW IS THE BUDDHIST “BAHA’I FAITH” GREATLY IMPACTING WESTERN CULTURE
TODAY? [1 of 5] Of the many sub-religions that have spun off from Hinduism, Buddhism is the most known, but the majority of Americans don’t know that Buddhist thought has greatly impacted the terminology of our culture, mindset, and even belief systems—as have smaller false faiths with roots in Hinduism. For example, most have not heard of a sect of Buddhism called Baha’i (Ba-HI) Faith, but the New Age movement in Western culture gets its philosophy from Baha’i, Buddhism, and Hinduism. Other Buddhist offshoots are Jainism, Hare Krishna, Taoism (also
called Daoism), and Zoroastrianism. That last one was founded
in the sixth-century, BC, by a man in Persia named Zoroaster. Hindu-rooted, Buddhist Baha’i teaches that individuals from all different world religions and cults can pray to whomever they’d like, because it’s just the same God being referenced by many different names. Today, that attitude has become prevalent among people all over the world, including here in our American society—even in the Christian Church! In fact,
I’ve heard Christians say they reference “Allah” in the place of “God” when
witnessing to the Muslims. But Islam’s Allah is a completely different
entity, certainly not the God we Christians worship; both Muslim
and Christian leaders widely acknowledge that fact. So, Baha’i
Faith originated the false claim and belief that all deities worshiped
by the world’s vast variety of diverse faiths are supposedly
the same Supreme Being—which tells us that those people
know little to nothing about Christianity, or other faiths. | image tagged in buddhism,bahai,god,bible,religion,christian | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5ykae1.jpg)
![WHAT IS THE TAOIST (OR, DAOIST) BRANCH OF BUDDHISM ALL ABOUT? [1 of 6] Another spin-off from Buddhist Hinduism is called either Taoism or Daoism, a religion practiced mainly in China, Malaysia, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, and Singapore. Those nations are where we see Taoist temples, but the practice has also become popular in the Western world. Taoism’s set of “scriptures” are referred to as the Tao, and other included texts make up their full spectrum of religious materials they call the Tao-te Ching. “Tao” is a Chinese alphabetic character that means “a way” or “a path." So, Taoism means "the way,” which reveals more about
the Buddhist religion of George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars. In fact, that franchise recently put out a popular new series called The Mandalorian, a show about a fictitious, mercenary people who follow a philosophy they often verbalize as, “This is the way.” But what is the real truth that we know from the Bible? Who is the only way, the truth, and the life? John 14:6 says no one is able to reach heaven to be with God unless they go through Jesus Christ. So, Star Wars’ and Taoism’s “way” is death—choosing to reject Jesus—suffering in hell for eternity, a horrific end. We get to
heaven by accepting Christ’s free gift of salvation through
His sacrifice on the cross. That is the only way. | image tagged in mandolorian,star wars,taoism,george lucas,buddhism,bible | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5ynday.jpg)
![WHAT IS THE TAOIST (OR, DAOIST) BRANCH OF BUDDHISM ALL ABOUT? [2 of 6] Never being technically unified into an overall religion, Taoism (or Daoism) can be divided into three categories: philosophical, religionist, and Chinese-folk beliefs. The Bible has nothing good to say about the last one involving ancestor worship—the practice of communicating with dead people. God calls that the abomination of necromancy, and He is deeply offended by it. In fact, Judaism’s first monarch, King Saul, went too far one day when he practiced necromancy through help from a witch. That led to God’s immediate judgement on Saul, having him die in battle the next day—along with every one of his many sons; within twenty-four hours, Saul and all his heirs to the throne
were dead. Because of the division of practices in Taoism, it’s difficult to pinpoint
exactly what they believe, but generally speaking we see Taoist themes
in many movies, like the previously mentioned Star Wars franchise. Roughly stated, Taoism teaches a “flow of the universe,” or “force,” that supposedly keeps everything balanced in a natural order, and is said to be the source of both existence and nonexistence. Some Eastern mystic religions like Taoism refer to this as the “yin and yang” principle, which can express itself through equal forces of good and evil opposing each other. What does that sound like? It is exactly the religion of Star Wars. And the movie series even decided to build more doctrine into that false faith, the idea that a nifty
machine can be placed close to a being, and in that way, it takes a blood sample
that measures “midi-chlorians.” The more the gage rises, the better
that life form is said to be able to manipulate the “force." While
Star Wars films are popular because the stories are well written
and produced, unfortunately, they have greatly increased
the popularity of Buddhist Taoism around the world. | image tagged in star wars,yoda,taoism,daoism,bible,buddhism | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5yne13.jpg)
