[quote:Resister:MV8zNTI5NTU2XzYzMDUyNDMyXzc1NDI5RDY3] Being a Christian means being a follower of Christ. I've never studied Taoism, but if I understand correctly the most basic definition is living in harmony with what is around you. There is certainly nothing wrong with trying to get along with people and go-with-the-flow as it were, but some people and behaviors simply are not compatible with the teachings of Jesus Christ and "the flow" can lead to places a Christian shouldn't go. Getting along with others is all well and good, but there is a difference between tolerance for peace sake and acceptance. Change what you can. Tolerate what you must. Accept no evil. [/quote]
Original Message
I consider myself a born again Christian. I began my walk in different ways. I have studied many paths.
I believe taoism to be a philosophy which is compatible with the teachings of Jesus. I have read they ARE compatible and I have read they are not. Please give me your thoughts on this.
I think of it the same way that there are messianic J^ws that there are taoist Christians...
What do you think?
