Brandon Lake says ‘doors were open’ to ‘Christian Buddhist’ question in Rolling Stones interview

Brandon Lake said he hopes “the doors were open” to those exploring faith in response to a question from a Rolling Stone editor who asked whether there is room in Christianity for someone who identifies as a “Christian Buddhist.”

During the April 1 episode of Rolling Stone’s “Nashville Now” podcast, Joseph Hudak posed the question to the “Hard Fought Hallelujah” singer, saying that after reading the works of late Buddhist monk Thích Nhất Hạnh, particularly the book Living Buddha, Living Christ, he now identifies as a “Christian Buddhist in some way."

Last year, Lake sparked controversy after suggesting worship songs threaten to alienate non-Christians if they are too overtly biblical.

That may be a fairly common thing with people from other cultures who embrace the religion of Christianity as they have the false religion they were born into... without coming to saving knowledge of Christ.

I found that in the Asian "Christian" community in Southern California last time I was out there. It surprised me, but probably shouldn't have.

I think the "all roads lead to heaven" mentality in some "christian" denominations has caused much confusion about what it is to be a true Christian, a follower of Jesus practicing His teachings" Alone.
But as we see in scripture its expected there will be those who creep into the church and change the gospel of Jesus to suit their itching ears of those who want religion that suits their desires, but to their demise.

It's truly false, what it is blasphemy, these people have the false religion, because they were born into without the knowledge of Jesus.
