What is the danger of buddha statues?

It is a trend that is spreading all over the world: buddha statues. Under the cloak of peace, serenity, calm energy, vital life energy, happiness, hope, harmony, hope, etc, many people have brought a buddha statue or buddha statues into their homes. What do buddha statues represent and bring? Buddha statues supposed to bring good luck, inner peace, harmony, positive energy, happiness, health, longevity, wealth, prosperity, protection, etc. Many people say, you feel peaceful when you look at buddha statues. Maybe someone has given you a buddha statue or you have bought a buddha statue for yourself and have given the buddha statue a nice place in your house or placed the buddha statue in the garden. But what happens when you bring a buddha statue into your home? Is it good to have a buddha in your home or is it bad to have a buddha in your home? Does a buddha statue bring good luck, prosperity, peace, and all the other positive things or are buddha statues dangerous and does a buddha statue bring bad luck, disharmony, negative energy, rebellion, sickness, poverty, divorce, etc.? What is the spiritual danger of buddha statues?

Many people don’t know, what they bring into their house

Many people don’t know what they bring into their homes or garden. They have received a buddha statue from someone, bought a buddha statue in a store, or have bought a buddha statue or several buddha statues as a souvenir during their vacation in Asia (although according to the rule, you may never purchase a buddha statue for yourself), and have given the buddha statue a nice place in their homes or garden. They think these buddha statues look exotic and are a nice decor and fit perfectly into the Asian zen interior design trend.

That unbelievers, who are carnal and belong to the world, bring buddha statues into their homes is not good and will cause them a lot of harm. But that so many people, who claim to be Christians, also follow this worldly trend and bring buddha statues into their homes is unbelievable.

Because how can Christians, who believe in Jesus Christ and follow Him, bring a buddha statue, a statue of a dead man, who founded and represents Buddhism and denied God and Jesus Christ, the Son of God, into their homes? How is this possible?

People, who call themselves Christians

It is possible, because most Christians, who call themselves Christians are not truly born again Christians. They call themselves Christians but they don’t walk and live as Christians. They are just ‘name Christians’ and are carnal, but they are not truly born-again Christians, who are born of the Spirit of God. They are unspiritual and are not able to see nor discern the spirit realm. They are carnal and walk after the flesh, which means that they are led by their senses, will, emotions, feelings, thoughts, etc.

Why a person must be born again

A born-again Christian, whose spirit is raised from the dead, loves God above all and will never do something or bring something into his or her house, that would offend the Lord Jesus Christ.

A Christian would never bring a statue(s) or an image(s) of a dead person into his or her home that represents a dead religion or a human philosophy and deny Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God. Because Buddhism says, there is no God.

But these so-called Christians do these things because they belong to the world and don’t know the Word; Jesus Christ. Therefore they follow the world instead of the Word.

Through ignorance and a lack of knowledge of God’s Word, they bring a lot of sorrow and destruction upon themselves. Because these buddha statues, which look so harmless and peaceful, can cause a lot of sorrow, misery, problems, evil, and destruction in your life.

What does the Bible say about buddha statues?

Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the Lord your God! (Leviticus 19:4)

The Lord has given commandments and instructions in the Bible; the Word of God, because of His great love for people. God wants to have a relationship with people and doesn’t want anything bad to happen to them. God wants to keep everyone from evil. But it’s up to the people if they listen to His words and obey His words or not (Read also: The love of God).

If the Lord says, to turn away from idols and not get involved, then why don’t God’s children listen to Him and obey His instructions?

Is a buddha statue an idol? Yes, a buddha statue is an idol. Buddha was a person, who has been worshiped and exalted by people, who turned buddha into an idol. The people exalted Buddha as a god and turned Buddha into a god.

Buddha is the founder of Buddhism. Buddhists and many people, who are not official Buddhists but like buddha’s philosophy, listen to buddha’s earthly wisdom and sayings and apply the words of buddha to their lives, and because of that, they follow Buddha.

Who was Buddha?

Gautama Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama was his real name) was the founder of Buddhism. Siddhartha Gautama was born between 490 en 410 B.C. and was the son of a king. Siddhartha Gautama grew up in Nepal and was a Hindu. Gautama Buddha observed the many contradictions and problems in life. After many years, Siddhartha Gautama Buddha decided to leave the palace, his wife and child, and his fortune, because Siddhartha Gautama Buddha didn’t want to live as a wealthy man anymore. Gautama Buddha went away, looking for the truth of life.

The danger of yoga

After seven years of wandering, meditating, inquiring, and searching, Gautama Buddha found, according to him, the true path (eightfold path) and great enlightenment under the legendary Bo tree; the tree of wisdom, and attained nirvana.

The teachings of buddha are concerned with the ramifications of the four noble truths and the eightfold path.

This religion or philosophy has nothing to do with Christianity. Buddhism has nothing in common with the Christian faith.

When you bring a buddha statue into your home, you do not only bring an idol into your house, but you also bring the spirit behind this idol; the devil, his demons, and the death, into your home.

The Kingdom of God and the kingdom of the devil

The Word says, there are only two kingdoms; the Kingdom of God, where Jesus is King and reigns, and the kingdom of the devil. If Buddhism didn’t originate from the Kingdom of God, it originated from the kingdom of the devil, the darkness. Therefore, Buddhism is not part of the Kingdom of God, but the kingdom of darkness.

Maybe you are laughing right now or maybe you are thinking, “what nonsense! But this is absolutely no nonsense. This is the reality.

The spiritual realm is no-nonsense, it is real! And it’s about time, that the believers of Jesus Christ, who are supposed to be His followers, wake up spiritually, because many Christians are spiritually asleep and live in spiritual darkness (Read also: Can you separate the spiritual from Eastern philosophies and practices?).

The demonic spirit behind the buddha statue 

I once heard a story of a person, who entered a Buddhist temple. In that Buddhist temple, there was a room with a big buddha statue. At certain times, the priest entered the room, kneeled down in front of the statue, and placed food, flowers, incense oil, etc. before the buddha statue. The person asked the priest, if he really believed, that the buddha statue would eat his food. The priest answered, of course not, but it’s the spirit behind the buddha statue. Every time, when the priest put food before this statue, the demonic spirit came forth and manifested himself in the room.

In Revelation 13:15, we read about the image of the beast and that the beast has the power to give life; a spirit, to the image of the beast so that the image (statue) will be able to speak. That image is not able to speak, but the demonic spirit, that will be given to the image, will speak.

What is the spiritual danger of buddha statues?

This also happens when you bring a buddha statue to your home. Buddha statues have no breath of life in them and therefore they have no power or life. But the demonic spirit behind buddha statues does have power and will manifest itself and create a certain atmosphere (Jeremiah 10:14).

This demonic spirit can cause a lot of harm, misery, and destruction in a person’s life and family. Because this demonic spirit is a representative of the devil.

the devil as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour

And we all know that the devil wants to steal, kill and destroy every person on this earth.

This evil demonic spirit will first create a peaceful and pleasant atmosphere for the senses.

But after a while, this evil spirit will cause (mental)illness, sickness, disharmony, fights, divorces, idolatry, sexual uncleanness, rebellion against parents, uncontrollable anger, violence, abuse, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, negative feelings, suicidal thoughts, poverty, etc. All these things happen, due to a lack of knowledge.

Because of ignorance and a lack of knowledge of God’s Word, many people open their doors for evil to enter their homes and lives.

They think these buddha statues will bring calm energy, peace, harmony, luck, prosperity, wealth, etc. But the truth is, that these buddha statues will only bring disaster and will cause a lot of harm in people’s lives.

One time a person had a tumor, a form of cancer. While praying for this person, I saw a buddha statue. I called the person and asked if the person had a buddha statue. The person confirmed they had a buddha statue. I advised the person to throw the buddha away. The person obeyed and in a short period of time, the pain left and the tumor disappeared.

The spiritual realm is real

The spiritual realm is real. It is the realm behind this visible realm (natural realm). All visible things originate from the spiritual realm. God is Spirit and He created everything out of the Spirit (Read also: Is the spiritual realm fiction or real?).

When you become born-again, your spirit will be raised from the dead and becomes alive. As a result, your life will change, because you shall no longer live after the flesh and be led by your senses and the spirits of this world. As a believer and follower of Jesus Christus, you are seated in Jesus Christ; the Word, in the heavenly places and you shall walk after the Spirit in obedience to the Word (Read also: How can a person become born again?).

Being born again from incorruptible seed

The more you renew your mind with the Word of God, the more the spiritual realm will be revealed to you and you will be able to discern the spirits.

You shall discern the things of God and His Kingdom and the things of the devil and his kingdom (Read also: Why renewing your mind is necessary)

You shall see what happens in the spiritual realm and see the spiritual state of the world.

Because you are seated in Jesus Christ, you will enter the spiritual realm from your spirit in His authority and be protected against every evil demonic power.

You are protected as long as you stay in Christ and enter the spiritual realm from your spirit in His authority and power instead of entering the spiritual realm from your soul in your own authority and power.

But as long as a person is not born again, the spirit of the person is dead and the person will enter the spiritual realm from the soul (Read also: The two ways to enter the spiritual realm and ‘The mortal body quickened by His Spirit‘).

It’s very dangerous to enter the spiritual realm from your soul. Because before you know it, you will enter the occult realm and open yourself to evil spirits, who will enter your life.

Demonic spirits can manifest themselves in many different ways in the flesh. For example, they can manifest through carnal manifestations, like uncontrollable bodily movements (shaking, trembling, moving like a snake or another animal, falling, etc) and uncontrollable soulish manifestations (laughing, crying, angriness, etc.).

Demonic spirits may first cause pleasant feelings, but these pleasant feelings will soon change into negative feelings, anxiety, and depression

Don’t underestimate the power of the devil and demonic spirits. They will come as an angel of light and may come as Jesus and imitate the Holy Spirit. But if you have the Holy Spirit and stay awake and be watchful at all times, then you will be able to discern the spirits and things of the spiritual realm.

Buddha statues are a dangerous hype

Buddhism belongs to the four largest religions in the world. Buddhism is the religion of the East and it becomes more and more popular in the West. Many people don’t consider Buddhism as a religion, but as a philosophy, because Buddhists don’t believe in a God, the Creator of heaven and earth. But Buddhism has many religious aspects and believes in divine beings (deities), therefore Buddhism is considered a religion.

The Lord God is the Creator of the Heavens

The devil uses everything to tempt and deceive people. Because His ultimate purpose is to kill and destroy people.

He even uses celebrities; famous actors, actresses, models, singers, idols, social influencers, etc. Because the devil knows, that these people (idols) have many followers. And these followers want to imitate their idols and copy their lifestyles because they want to be like them.

When they see, that their idols are into Buddhism and have buddha statues and practice yoga, meditation, mindfulness, martial arts, acupuncture, etc. they follow their example and imitate their lifestyle.

They shall bring buddha statues into their homes, practice yoga, meditation, and mindfulness, and without knowing, they will open the door for evil spirits and invite them into their lives.

People, who walk after the flesh are always interested in human philosophies and other religions. Especially the eastern philosophy of Buddhism and the religion of Hinduism have become very popular. Many people have an interest in the spiritual realm and spiritual things. Unfortunately, they often look in the wrong places.

A faith of the senses and a lack of knowledge

The reason why so many unbelievers are getting involved in the occult, is because many Christians stay carnal and keep living after the flesh (ruled by their senses, feelings, thoughts, emotions, etc.), and have made the gospel, a gospel of the senses, whereby feelings, miracles, and supernatural manifestations have become the center, instead of a gospel of the Spirit.

Most churches are carnal and don’t walk after the Spirit in the spiritual authority of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, but they have become worldlike and live like the world.

Bible is our compass, gain wisdom

Many churches are not seated in the Light, but they are seated in darkness.

There are many people, who are wandering and looking for the meaning of life. They are looking for the truth and spiritual things and reality, and many find them in Buddhism.

For those people, Buddhism seems trustworthy. Because they see the devoted lives of buddhists and get clear answers to their questions and understand the many wise quotes from buddha.

Contrary to the Christian faith, where most Christians live like the world and are unspiritual and not devoted to Christ and His sayings and don’t know or don’t understand the Bible themselves. When people approach them with questions about life, they are not able to answer them properly (Read also: ‘If Christians live like the world, what should the world repent of?‘).

When Christians don’t understand the Kingdom of God, how can Christians represent the Kingdom of God? If a Christian is not able to preach a clear message of the gospel and answer questions from unbelievers, how can unbelievers be saved and won for Jesus Christ and His Kingdom? (Read also: Why don’t Christians preach a clear message?)

It’s a shame, because many people will be lost forever. Only, due to a lack of knowledge of God’s Word and because most Christians are not born again and are unspiritual, and don’t walk after the Word and the Spirit, with signs and wonders following them.

Wat is the true destination of man?

Many people are looking and searching for their true destination that can only be found in Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God. There is only one way and that way is Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ is the only One, who can give eternal life. There is no other way to come to God, than through Jesus Christ. Only the blood of Jesus Christ can cleanse you from all your sins and iniquities and can bring you into a place of holiness and righteousness.

one way to eternal life

Only through the redemptive work and by the blood of Jesus Christ, you can be reconciled with God; your Creator, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, and all hosts.

By the power of the blood and the power of the Holy Spirit, you can become born again in the spirit. There is no other way to become born again (Read also: What does it mean to be born again?).

Buddhists believe they have to get born again many times. But they shall never find, what they are looking for and shall never obtain eternal life.

There is only one rebirth and that is during your life on earth through Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Only through Jesus Christ, you can become a new creation.

You can only become a new creation by believing in Jesus Christ and accepting Jesus Christ as your Saviour and Lord, and by laying down your old life in the water baptism and becoming born again in the spirit, by the power of the Holy Spirit. When you become a new creation, you become a son of God.

Jesus Christ is the only Savior and Lord

Let us serve Jesus Christ and obey Him, by obeying His commandments, instead of an idol; a statue of a dead man, who denies Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God. When you bring buddha statues into your home, you bring buddha into your home and open the door for destruction, because death will enter your home and your life.

Jesus has conquered death. Jesus is raised from the dead. Jesus Christ is alive and lives forevermore!

If you have buddha statues in your house and want to follow Jesus then throw these buddha statues away. Destroy them and ask forgiveness from God and cleanse your house, by commanding these evil spirits to leave your house in the Name of Jesus.

This not only applies to buddha statues but also applies to African statues and sculptures, like African masks, Indonesian statues, Indonesian masks, Mexican statues, Peruvian statues, Chinese statues, Roman statues, Catholic statues, Greek statues, etc. that also represent idols (Read also: What is the danger of souvenirs).

Dedicate your life and house to Jesus Christ and you shall experience true peace. You shall experience the peace of God that no buddha statue can give you. Not even, when you have 10 or 10.000 buddha statues in your house. Jesus Christ is the only One, Who can give you this peace, that passes all human understanding.

    What this writer speaks is true. Pray and ask Jesus. He will confirm it as truth. The spirit world is real. When you take your last breathe on day on this earth your spirit will leave your body and have to go somewhere. Your body dies but your spirit will live off forever. It’s true! Therefore being said that. God is the SPIRIT of God. The devil is the SPIRIT of evil (comes as a angel of light many times to deceive and eventually bring destruction on mankind who is easily deceived by him). Then there is man who has our SPIRIT living inside our body. On the last day you take your last breathe on this earth one day …. your SPIRIT will leave your body and it will either go and be one with Jesus which is heaven. Or it will go to be one with the devil which is hell. One or the other. You can’t serve 2 masters. That is truth! Reality! In truth, we can’t say we walk with God and at the same time are holding hands with the devil. It’s either your for God or not. Just sharing..

    Hi, very interesting to read. I’m just writing to share an experience and never write on forums! I have been travelling Australia and have been living in a house heavily influenced with Asian interior; Feng shui, Buddha statues, elephant statues and a large human Asian women looking figure in the garden. It is a large house with many living here, since renting here for a couple of months I have noticed how each person now left in the house has very bad family issues (all divorced, bad family arguments) along with everyone struggling with money issues. all issues Which don’t seem to be getting better for people. I’ve even begin to feel it slightly myself and things seem to be not working out very well at all since living here…which is when I wondered it had anything to do with the Buddha statues. I have faith and understand life isn’t always perfect but there is a huge sense of ‘trying your uttmost hardest’ with a wave of disappointment to knock you back down again ….something which I’ve never experienced before in this way, consistently effecting a household of different people! According to what I’ve read the buddha/spirit seems to bring the opposite of what it’s meant to bring! I’m wondering wether spiritual objects really do have spirits within them and like it says in the article, if it’s not from God then where is it from? If we believe the Holy Spirit we know there is evil…but where do these evil spirits roam? It’s not something I like to look into, or ever really think about but I guess You can only really see the truth in (bad spirits) when its experienced first hand and the ‘fruit’ of thing is revealed in people’s lives.

        I just threw out a Buddha statue – a week ago . It’s been in our patio for about year or so … I had marital problems , and my kids were increasingly problematic .

        Since throwing it out and praying and seeking Jesus again in my life I feel a sense of peace . My children are at peace .
