Jesus' sayings often focused on spiritual and moral teachings related to God, faith, and salvation, while Confucius' teachings were more focused on social harmony, ethical behavior, and proper governance. Jesus emphasized ideas such as forgiveness, love, and unity with God, while Confucius stressed concepts like filial piety, respect for elders, and social order.
Confucius is considered a man, not a god. He was a philosopher and educator who lived in ancient China around 500 BC. Confucianism, the philosophy he taught, emphasizes moral values, ethical conduct, and social harmony, but it does not include worshiping Confucius as a deity.
Confucius did not start a religious system of that concerned itself with origins of the universe, God/gods, or the afterlife, but rather he taught an ethical philosophical system that dealt with the proper relationships between individuals in families, businesses, government, and society.
They do not worship a god. Confucianism is more like a philosophy then a religion, so if people were Confucius they could also be Buddhist without anyone saying pick a religion and stick with it!
Although he didn't intend it, Confucius' teachings became a religion. Confucianism is a philosophy, not a religion. There is no god mentioned in his philosophy. He dilberately steered clear of gods and spirits.
In French, Confucius is spelled "Confucius."
Confucians don't believe in a god as such but rather follow the philosophy of the Chinese scholar Confucius.
The actual quote, from Confucius, is: "Heaven means to be one with God". It alludes to being aware of God, and behaving in God's ways (see Deuteronomy ch.10).
