*Rand Martens remembers Dr Hoeh with these kind comments:
>I
can say I knew
and experienced Dr. Hoeh very differently than many who knew him did, because I
remember him mostly as a tremendously wise and understanding man with incredible
amounts of everyday practical common sense, as well as having the most
astonishing spirit of service to his fellow man than I have ever witnessed in
anyone else, before or since.
If I can even
halfway reach
the levels that Dr. Hoeh attained to as a man, I should count myself fortunate
beyonds words to express. He was both an inspiration and a superb role model of
what true greatness is.
And frankly, I think probably half of what I learned of
value during my years out in Pasadena, both as a student and as an employee, I
learned from this humble, pure-hearted and childlike man of God.< (17 July 2023)
==============================================================================================
**While not
believing in Bhuddism, Dr Hoeh sees some similarities,
particularly in relation to how Satan is viewed in both religions. In
regard to this, there are some few similarities between
some Bible verses and some other
religions and that is only to be expected. Including the concept of a
'golden age' at the dawn of man (which we would understand as the Garden
of Eden) and even a world in upheavel in the last days of man, with a god
intervening in world affairs.
So Satan has
set up counterfeits with a little bit of truth thrown in
to attract the innocent by weaving in a bit of historical
knowledge with a few good bits here and there together
with a huge amount of error. For instance, Taoism says something about
treating strangers well. Confucianism teaches loyalty to country, having
strong families and ensuring a good education for one's children. Buddha's
mother's name was similar to Mary and he seemed to keep a sabbath etc,
etc.
In the
ancient Middle East the pagan religions had customs that were counterfeits
to the feast days etc, etc. Let alone the great 'Christian' counterfeit
since the first century. Dr Hoeh knew all this of course.
Finally, I
researched the few parallels between Buddhism and the
Bible many, many years ago and indeed, there are a number of books around
on that these days. As well as the many false Christs that have existed as
counterfeits to the true One. I began to type up a lengthy article on this
back in 1995 or 1996 but never completed it - I hope to recommence that
article soon, but will probably scale it back just so that I can get it
out.
As HWA wrote
near the end of his tremendous booklet on "Why were you born?": "Do you
begin to comprehend why you were born? One religion believes that the
final end result of human life is to be "nirvana" -- total extinction. How
glorious is the TRUTH -- promising the very opposite extreme!" (that is
how most, but not all, Buddhists view eternity!) See also

The warning
is clear - Satan has his counterfeits.
