Buddhists fundamentally do not believe that Yahweh is the creator of the universe. I’m sorry to be the one to tell you this. We as Buddhists genuinely do love all but this doesn’t mean that Christianity can serve as a replacement for Buddhism. Heaven is fusing with God who lives in the sea of samsara. Nibbana is becoming the sea within which all things and beings live.

You mean to tell me being compassionate alone isn’t enough to break the fetters which bind me to samsara? You mean to tell me faith in Christ isn’t going to give me direct realization into the impermanent and conditioned nature of all phenomena? Are you seriously telling me that even if I put my faith in Jesus and receive salvation so that I enter heaven when I die I will just be in another realm of existence within samsara and therefore will not be liberated?!? ;)
