Default What's the evidence that Buddha is now in heaven with Jesus?
Buddha apparently was a holy man. What's the evidence that Buddha, today - year 2005 - is in heaven with Jesus - Jesus who has been sitting in heaven for about 2,000 years at the right hand of God?

Other?

For the sake of argument, lets assume that heaven does exist. Let's also assume that Buddha does too. That way we can get back to answering the question. To do so, I think it is importnat to adress the issue of actually getting to heaven. There is much debate about the process of getting to heaven, but the overall agreeance (as far as I know) is that you must follow the will of God. As far as I know, Buddha didn't do that. God and Buddha shared some of the same basic principles, but overall I think that their messages were too different to allow Buddha to actually get to heaven. I hope I am not offending anyone, and I hope I'm making sense. What do you all think?

Why concern yourself with it? If you're looking for absolute proof, you better take Robtex's advice and prove a heaven exists.

If, however, you're wanting a Christian perspective, it really is simple: Don't worry about it. You have your hands full with your own salvation. God will take care of that.

Buddha came before Jesus, so Jesus would be with Buddha, not vice versa. And all of your questions thus far belong in the 'debate' section, not 'discussion'. I'm not trying to be rude, but it's something that you might want to catch.

proving its existance means geographically locating it.

If you believe it to be a literal place, that's a definate. We both know that we found Hell in Siberia, after all, so I'm sure we'll find heaven on Titan or something .

There's a Hell, Michigan. Does that help?

Nuts, that means I have two contenders. I do have to wonder what possessed them to name it that...

At least I know there's a real Metropolis .

How can you prove anyone is or is not in "Heaven"?
