Son of God in Christianity, Buddhism and Hindu Religion

In the post-Christian era Buddhism split into two major sects as Hinayana and Mahayana. The term Hinayana was coined by the Mahayanists to denote Theravada Buddhism or Old Buddhism.

As per Theravada or Hinayana there is no concept of God. A man can only help another on the way by example and advice. ¹ Each being must be a lamp unto himself, and workout his own salvation.²

But the doctrines of Mahayana Buddhism are contradictory to Hinayana Buddhism and according to Mahayana Buddhism there is a God who created the world and Buddha was deified.

RELIGIOUS FANATICISM

Religion imparts spirituality but religious fanaticism destroys spirituality. Religion and spirituality are distinctive. Spirituality is common to all religions. Research on Soul and spiritual happiness are the aims of spirituality.

The persons responsible for the formation of world religions such as Buddha, Mahaveer, Jesus Christ, Prophet Mohammed were all expounders of Spirituality and were against religions. Therefore they were persecuted by religionists and religious fanatics. Jesus christ was the most persecuted among them. He was murdered. Not an ordinary murder but He was tortured and killed. The instrument used for that purpose was the cross.

The words which proceeded from His mouth when He was tortured on the cross declare Him as an epitome of spirituality and as a Spiritual leader and the revealer of spirituality to the world. Therefore his spiritual teachings are widely followed in all countries of the world.
