Buddhism started in China.
Hinduism started in India.
Actually they both started in India. Buddhism started in the Northern India area and the Kashmir Pakistan area. It is a spin off from Hinduism, much like Christianity is from Judaism. If you keep this in mind when comparing them you'll see what I mean.

Not a single one from the list came from babylon.
So, instead of masonry being made by a group of people that were just trying to get people to be more charitable, and who decided to use things from the world as symbols and metaphors, like the sun, the heavens, the moon, etc, instead of that, its really a group of minions of the devil, trying to get people to not beleive in jesus.
I mean, I can accept that there is a devil and he wants to lead people away from jesus and he's influenced people to create fake religions. But it doesn't make the least bit of sense to say that anything that it associated with the sun moon or stars must be a product of that. Nor does it make sense to say that hinduism leads people away from christ by use of the star moon and sun symbols. Hinduism, being another religion, leads people away from the christian religion on its own. Ig anything, the idea of a 'sun matrix of false religions' doesn't make sense, the devil wouldn't make all these false religions based upon the sun, and stemming from babylon, that'd be, well, obvious.
What would it matter what he made the false religions like anyway? He'd merely have to make a religion that isn't christianity, not a sun religion, nor spread it out from babylon.
The Jews don't really go out and recruit non Jews. The Jews have been kept seperate.
And why aren't you including judaism in this list? The jews lead people away from christ also.
If you don't include the jews, you can't include the catholics and mormons and other christian sects, since, in the end, they all still tell people that christ is lord and people are saved through his sacrifice on the cross. It doesn't matter that they also tell people to be good people along the way. They are still saying to worship the Triune God and that salvation comes from jesus, even if its associated with a ritual administered via a preist.

All of these come from Babylon.
You will find the sun, moon or stars in all of them. Look at a Mormon temple. Look at a Hindu temple. SUN MOON STARS.

John 3:16 should cover it.

Well the world is just as barbaric now as it was then and pain, suffering etc are just the same now as they were then.
Also arent we all the children of god ??
1 john 3:10 This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother.

Oh yeah. :shk:
That's all it takes, huh?
'Here, read this!' and then follow that up with constant 'Zoroaster!' 'Mystery Babylon' 'You are decieved!'
(BUT God loves you, didn't you READ what I showed you?)
:bnghd:
Do you not realize what exactly is YOUR role - as a professed follower of Christ - as far as providing evidence and convincing testimony, for God's love for the world...through your OWN actions of LOVE toward others in the world?
Has yours waxed cold?
