It cannot be the same. And this tolerance of accepting all religions is not needed. Christianity is not compatible with any religion. It is a dogmatic religion, unfortunately.

And honestly, since we were on the plane and we might die. I also thought about the concept of heaven and hell is different in Buddhism. So then where exactly was she going? Religion is not just about peace and love. There is judgment. And the only way we can be atoned and escape from this judgment is the blood of the lamb, that’s our Jesus. No one else.
And of course, she did not have the assurance. She was so worried and scared. If she knew God, and as she said, by knowing more names of God then she’d be closer to God, then shouldn’t she be the calmest guru on the whole plane?
Fundamentally, I think I’m a bit angry about her. And I’m confused too. If she didn’t know God, or she was born in an atheist family in a Christian country, then fine by me that she was practicing yoga in Hindu temples. However, if she knew God, and had every chance to really know Him, I really don’t like the fact she gave up on Jesus and followed other gods.
The yoga teacher’s eyes sparkled when she said she loved Jesus. But it was the same sparkling eyes when she said all gods are the same. I think that’s what the Israelites like when they entered Canaan, and started to worship the gods of Moabites.
So what I learned from her was that “Do not to take your faith lightly. It’s not fashion. It doesn’t change and it is dogmatic.”
Do not to take your faith lightly. It’s not fashion. It doesn’t change and it is dogmatic.
I hope there will not be a day in my life that I feel ‘okay’ to follow other religions, and find reasons to justify those actions. And please God, have mercy on me so that I can continue to stay in the path that you’ve prepared for me.
