Do Eastern religions like Buddhism trace their roots back to the tower of Babel?
Yes. Eastern religions such as Buddhism trace their roots back to the tower of Babel, where every pagan, mythological, cultic, and false religion originated. Scripture's Babel account explains the confusion and spread of false worship, including Eastern systems. Thus Buddhism and other Eastern religions are not separate from that root.
Les teaches that every false religion has its roots at the tower of Babel. He illustrates this with a Japanese cult whose guru sought so-called enlightenment in the Himalayas from a Buddhist guru, then returned to Japan and began the cult. From that example, Les concludes that when you go through Buddhism and other Eastern religions, their roots run back to the tower of Babel. He says every pagan, mythological, cultic, and false religion on the planet has its roots there. Babel means confusion, and God scattered humanity. Later God sovereignly called Abram and promised the nation of Israel.
