welllll, in the context of this vid it's all new age... we're all 'gods' kinda stuffs. pro-enlightenment.... all spiritual (buddhist thought, really) but devoid of Jesus and we kno that Jesus is the only door. "anyone that comes up some other way is a thief and a robber".... so instead of leading to Jesus it leads to 'intelligence', outer-space, & 'consciousness'---whatever That is... LOL.... we'll just aim for having the mind of Christ thru obedient lives

buddhist thought is very one-world'ish religion.... embrace everything but attack the one gate of Jesus Christ. all into 'compassion' & pro-Jesus in every respect BUT don't call Him the only way. even muslims will speak highly of Jesus....But don't call Him what HE IS, what we know to be true in the Holy Word.... and that's the problem we face... they will take some, but they won't take all & we cannot partake of their mixture that leads to doctrines of demons. they will accuse us for being too rigid...say that we do not 'love' if we cannot accept their mixture, and that's where we part ways. i stand on what I believe, but I won't throw it down their throats cuz i'm not their savior. speak it once & live it the rest & let my example do any further witnessing lest the Holy Spirit rises up to witness further. Jesus as the only way to the Father is accepting the sacrifice that brought us back to God. people can be and exhibit all sorts of 'goodness' but HIS requirement is we receive His Son, because it's part of Him and He says All or None. This one always makes me well up inside: Who Will Take the Son? A man and his son loved to collect works of art, from Picasso to Raphael. When the Viet Nam conflict broke out, the son died in the battle while rescuing another soldier. The father grieved deeply for his only son. Just before Christmas a young man stood at the door with a large package in his hands. He said, "Sir, you don't know me, but I am the soldier for whom your son gave his life. He was carrying me to safety when a bullet stuck him and he died instantly. He often talked about you, and your love for art. " Your son would have wanted you to have this." It was a painting of his son, by the young man. The soldier captured the personality of his son in the painting. The father's eyes welled up with tears. "I could never repay what your son did for me. It's a gift." The man died a few months later.
There was to be a great auction of his paintings. Many influential people gathered. On the platform sat the painting of the son. "We want to see the famous paintings, skip this one." said the guests unimpressed. But the auctioneer persisted. "Will someone bid for this painting? $100, $200?". "We didn't come to see this painting. We came to see the Van Goghs, the Rembrandts. But the auctioneer continued. "The son! The son! Who'll take the son?" Finally, the long-time gardener of the man and his son, said "I'll give $10 for the painting." It was all he could afford. "$10 is the bid, won't someone bid $20 or higher?" The crowd was becoming angry. They didn't want the picture of the son. The auctioneer pounded the gavel. "Going once, twice, SOLD for $10!" Then a man shouted, "Now let's get on with the collection!" The auctioneer gaveled. "I'm sorry, the auction is over." "What about the paintings?" "I am sorry, when I was called to conduct this auction, I was told of a secret stipulation - only the painting of the son would be auctioned, whoever bought that portrait painting of the son would inherit the entire estate, including the entire collection. The man who took the son painting gets every thing!"
God gave his son 2,000 years ago to die on a cruel cross. Much like the auctioneer, His message today is, "The son, the son, who'll take the Son?"

And its a free offer open to everyone. Those who don't like the offer cant really moan that the offer isn't a different offer. There are different offers available out there but they are all scams that rob you of everything. We need to stick to the truth.

it's covered "For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water." (1 Peter 3:19) NKJV That was why the gospel was preached even to the dead: in order that, although in the body they were condemned to die as everyone else dies, yet in the spirit they might live as God lives. 1 Peter 4:6 REB
