Are Christianity and Taoism compatible?
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?

Tao knows human spirit(uality). Few Christians know the Spirit of God.

Dont ask others to tell you what you can and cannot believe or what is or isnt compatible. If it works for you and produces good results then it is. Period.

Of course not. Taoism is just another false religion leading you to hell.

Next you'll say you're into Chrislam.
[link to www.exposingchrislam.com]

You stay away from those eastern mystics if you know what's good for you, they will take you to depths of depravity you don't want to reach.

Also you need to look over your salvation. It sounds like it didn't take seeing you are ready to now embrace one of Satans religions.

You've been cautioned, what happens next is on your head.

Take what you will from Taoism that does not conflict with the word of God but remember all other systems of belief are man-made and there is no good in man.

Re: Are Christianity and Taoism compatible?
I find Christianity to be incompatible with anything other than other make believe nonsense. It is not compatible with republicanism, or science. I would say no it is not compatible with Taoism as Taoism understands the Yin and Yang. Christianity is all Yang no yin. It is too one sided and not based in anything real.

Re: Are Christianity and Taoism compatible?
I was eating dinner alone in a restaurant once and reading a version of the Tao. A gift from a bonafide Asian Tai Chi master. The waitress walked up and asked what I was reading, I told her and she said "yeah, but don't let that crap take you away from The Lord".

I told her not to worry and still left a decent tip. That's what I felt both a Bible and the Tao would "teach". I just left her and her preachy attitude behind in the restaurant and whistled on down the road.

It's like putting in the leaven.
OP should not do this, this crap may look not harmful on the outside, it's spiritually very dangerous.
As he said to keep yourselves pure, adding leaven (taoism) is not keeping yourself pure.

You open up a little to this.
Next OP will be a new ager seeing taoism is a form of the new age religion.
Into chakras, dimensions and all the rest of the CRAP.

Plus it's a retarded system in and of itself. I don't get how people fall for Asian con men garbage like this?

I would say yes there are truths in Christianity, but as a whole Christianity is not truth. It can be for a time, a subjective truth at the individual level. Many get stuck in this. I try to dissolve ego as such I tend to speak at a more societal level than personal.

Lao Tzu doesn't claim divinity he merely explains life.


The key difference is that they are different epistemological positions —

philosophy has a system of logical principles in place to arrive at conclusions whereas many religions (such as Christianity) allow for other sources of knowledge
