恩典 vs. 业力:救赎的根本区别
Grace vs. Karma: The Fundamental Difference in Salvation
核心论证 Core Argument
佛教的业力系统(karma)是一个严格的因果报应法则——你的善行和恶行决定你的来世命运。这本质上是一个“功德系统“。但基督教的福音是恩典——不是你做了什么,而是上帝在基督里为你做了什么。以弗所书2:8-9说“你们得救是本乎恩,也因着信;这并不是出于自己,乃是上帝所赐的“。恩典打破了业力的循环:不是靠积累功德,而是靠信靠基督已完成的救赎。
Buddhism's karma system is a strict law of moral cause-and-effect — your good and bad deeds determine your future destiny. This is essentially a 'merit system.' But the Christian Gospel is grace — not what you have done, but what God has done for you in Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9: 'For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.' Grace breaks the karmic cycle: salvation comes not through accumulating merit but through trusting Christ's finished work.
