What kinds of religion are there and what are its characteristics?

In the east, thre are three main paths: Confucianism, Buddism, and Taoism. Therr are many sub-religions which broke off from thesr three paths, but have similar teachings.

The way these religuons express themselves may be different over many periods of time, but in the essence if all things, they refer to the same thing. In a sense, they are one religion.

The text for Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism contains a record of what people heand and saw from a divine being, but no one has been able to understand the meaning of it until today. There are other religions such as Islam, Hinduism, and Calvinism, but the founders of these religions were not people God chose and appointed.

With the mindset of religion, they sought out for God out of their own will, received and recorded revelations from heavens, but none of them knew its meaning,

Even though Buddhism contilined to exist after Jesus came, it had become nothing but a lamp without oil. What kind of spirit would be reigning amidst this darkness? There is a saying, "the devil moves at night."

The Zen Master Seongchel said met Buddha in hell, and on Buddha's birthday in 1897, he made the confession in a Buddhist literary text which states: "Satan, welcome. I respect and worship you. You were originally Buddha," [Choseon Ilbo. 23 April 1987. p. 7; Gyunghyang News. 23 April 1987. p.9; The Librarian's Office of the Supreme Patriarch of Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism (Keunbit Chongseo 1) Seoul Sashiyeon, 1994, p.56-59].

The words of the Zen Master Seongcheol are correct. He did not say this because he had become senile. Why do Buddhists continually follow this religion even if they know this fact?

The people of Judaism killed the messengers sent by God (Mt 23:34-37; Acts 7:51-53; 1 Th 2:15). God sent his son Jesus, but they killed him as well because he was the heir. The reason why they killed him was so they could keep the church to themselves (Lk 20).

How can there be grace and salvation in this kind of situation? This is the characteristic of religion.

The Bible says true salvation lies with the promised pastor and the twelve tribes, which is created once again at the time of the Lord’s Second Coming.
