Re: Western Universalism - what's the big deal?
Its interesting to note that there are only 2 points which differentiate Buddhism from Christianity: - Original sin - Karma & re-birth. So, in that sense, Nestorian is much more closer to Buddhism. Sorry: Please do not make these self goals and allow our Buddha to be once again be alienated fro...

Virginal Birth is actually taken from Ancient India. Virginal Birth is a common meme in many ancient Indian stories: - Karna born to virgin Kunthi. - Buddha born to virgin Maya. - Vyasa born of virgin Sathyavathi. Infact, abnormal births is a common meme in ancient Indian stories. About the schism b...

There is less chance of corruption of written word compared to spoken words. As for memory, time corrupts it.. And this is just common sense. Oral traditions and other such unreliable historical sources have to be resorted if written records don't exist.
