Chapter 26: The Brahmana (Arhat)
No one should attack a Brhmana, but no Brahmana if attacked, should let himself fly at his aggressor! Woe to him who strikes a Brahmana, more woe to him who flies at his aggressor!
It advantages a Brahmana not a little if he holds his mind back from the pleasures of life; when all wish to injure has vanished, the more pain will cease.
Him i call indeed a Brahmana who does not offend by body, word, or thought, and is controlled on these three points.
He from whom he may learn the law, as taught by the Well- awakened (Buddha), let him worship it assiduously, as the Brahmana worships the sacrificial fire.

Chapter 26: The Brahmana (Arhat)
A Man does not become a Brahmana by his platted hair, by his family, or by birth; in whom there is truth and righteousness, he is blessed, he is Brahmana.
What is the use of platted hair, O fool! what of the raiment of goat-skins? Within thee there is ravening, but outside thou makest clean.
The man who wears dirty raiments, who is emaciated and covered with veins, who lives alone in the forest, and meditates, him i call indeed a Brahmana.

Chapter 26: The Brahmana (Arhat)
I do not call a man a Brahmana because of his origin or of his mother. He is indeed arrogant, and he is wealthy: but the poor, who is free from all attachments, him i call indeed a Brahmana.
Him i call indeed a Brahmana who, after cutting all fetters, never trembles, is free from bonds and unshackled.
Him i call indeed a Brahmana who, after cutting the strap and the thong, the rope with all that pertains to it, has destroyed all obstacles, and is awakened.

Chapter 26: The Brahmana (Arhat)
Him i call a Brahmana who, though he has committed no offense, endures reproach, stripes, and bonds: who has endurance for his force, and strength for his army.
Him i call indeed a Brahmana who is free from anger, dutiful, virtuous, without appetite, who is subdued, and has received his last body.
Him i call indeed a Brahmana who does not cling to sensual pleasures, like water on a lotus leaf, like a mustard seed on the point of a needle.
Him i call indeed a Brahmana who, even here, knows the end of his own suffering, has put down his burden, and unshackled.

Him i call indeed a Brahmana who has no interests, and when he has understood the truth, does not say How, how? and who has reached the depth of the immortal.
Him i call indeed a Brahmana who in this world has risen above both ties, good and evil, who is free from grief, from sin, and impurity.

This is all pretty much plagiarised from holy writ aka the word of God. Why are you posting all this stuff might I ask?

it's fair to say that those who are Christian bible believers might find the daily posting of a false religious text to be trolling.

It's fair to say, I think, that your one post in this thread has done more to turn people away from Christ than all the other posts written previously by the OP.

Well then let's hope the Buddha and his texts can restore all to Christ then shall we? By the way I think it is intentionally evil and wicked to accuse a Christian off turning anyone away from Christ and as at this moment my summation of you is that you are an intentionally evil and wicked disinformation terrorist.

yo Rodney drop the zero and get yourself a hero. Have you ever read the psalms and proverbs in a King James Bible? You might want to check out where the Buddha got all his ideas from. If after doing this you don't see the similarities aka the plagurism, let me know. I'm here to help. Any one can cut and paste text. I don't see that as sharing. From now on if you do so, I will post biblical scripture to show YOU the comparisons. As far as I know buddist don't believe in God, they are atheists.I never wanted to turn anyone away from what they believe. Just share mine and if there be similarities all the better. $#@!. I feel like the Dangerfield. No respect but i'll welcome everyone.

I asked politely for no divisive trolling. I have no plans of attacking you or your beliefs or those of other people and I won't. I actually promise not to. I just ask that you don't mess this thread up and consider starting your own.
Edit: Thanks for everyone's support.

Listen mate disagreeing with and or challenging Buddism in a religious forum is not trolling. Nor is it divisive. Buddhism is a false atheist religion therefore it is a lie. If you don't agree with me, tough biscuits. Perhaps a Buddhist forum might be more your bag.
