    I’ve studied a few of the Hindu saints of the last 100 years and they all believe in God. The other “gods” serve the one creator. They also believe in an immortal soul. Generally the teachings of these ‘gurus’ are to pray everyday, feed the poor, renounce materialism, lust leads to hell, suffering can be cultivated, “I have no power. It all comes from God”, and other noble teachings. Meanwhile we look at the most popular Protestant preachers in America - they don’t ‘hold a stick’ to some of these Hindu gurus. So, while I love you guys, for Christians who are really trying to weigh out what Hinduism is, this presentation isn’t it.

      Are you basically saying that they're just good people? So why are Christians hating on them?
      If that's the case, christians don't "hate on" anyone. God commands us to love others. But in loving them, we point out that the One True God of the Bible has a standard of goodness that is Moral Perfection. Just because Hindus are nice people, and they are, doesn't mean they'll be acceptable in the sight of God. Neither will I or anyone else unless we trust in Jesus.
      Goodness has nothing to do with it. God says to repent and turn to Him alone for salvation. Apart from Christ's righteousness, there is no hope of salvation.

      Hindus can accept Jesus as an Incarnation of the absolute and the infinite.
      If goodness has nothing to do with it, then your perception of the father’s love is exclusive.
      Its is genuinely better to be a good person for the sake of helping the world grow.
      Rather than saying it makes no difference whether you are a good person or not. Your contributions to humanity, hold absolutely no value to God unless you exclusively accept Jesus as the only representation of God that has ever appeared on the earth in history and will ever appear as in the future.
      I don’t think accepting Jesus guarantees you a spot in heaven lol. You still have to be a good person.
      Otherwise you are just a bad person on a leash constantly looking for justifications and rationalizations to support your judgements of the rest of the world and its people.
      This may not be your intent, but it’s what a-lot of people see, and tbh this is how you presented yourself and your thoughts in your comment.
      “God commands you to love others, but in loving them point out that Jesus is the one true God of the Bible has a standard of goodness. That is Moral Perfection!
      No hope huh… what a great perception of the afterlife; So what you’re basically saying is, in your religion good people get screwed over by God even if they try to help make the world become a better place just because they don’t accept Jesus as the only time God ever wanted to help elevate and protect humanity from its own stupidity.
      If thats the case, God is not there for humanity, he is only there for Christians. If that is what you want the world to believe God is, then keep him to yourself, he is only for you.
      If you think the rest of the world will go to hell for doing good deeds 😂🤣 and for not accepting Jesus as the only one; then he is not fair and not our Judge. For if he is our Judge, he must be fair.

    Hinduism came from Noah’s time ( half animals half human )
    Then Noah cured his son
    Then stories where made up and religion was formed
    “Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father naked and told his two brothers outside.”
    ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭9:22‬ ‭
    “When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him, he said, “Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers.””
    ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭9:24-25‬ ‭
    “The sons of Ham: Cush, Egypt, Put and Canaan. The sons of Cush: Seba,( shiva ) Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah ( Rama ) and Sabteka. The sons of Raamah: Sheba? ( Shiva ) and Dedan.”

      Sure but still many characters/incarnations of the one god. There are about 10 versions of the one god. Hinduism has different sects too depending on the Hindus they worship the different incarnations and various other deities. This is also why it's hard to pin Hinduism since every Hindu tends to worship a different Idol or incarnation.

    While hinduism may be derived from the Indus River as much as the word India is, the actual name is Sanatan Dharm which means eternal righteousness. there is NO correct translation of the word Dharm however. yes we have idol worship ( I do so) and there are other forms which may not involve idols. now the interesting thing is that this is so vast as a religion that it is difficult to place everything into one. as hindus we are constantly learning and understanding. 33 years and i still do not know everything you see.

Just dont talk what you think& about your own ignorance. When you put cross , is it not idol worship,mary statue is not idol worship.

    Sigh... this is what we get when people who totally KNOW they are right and everyone else is wrong, attempts to talk about other religions which would be their 'competition' for Evangelizing. First up, Oldest scripture : RigVeda, & a main part is that clarification that there is ONLY one God, wise men/women know God by many names. God is 'That', If you seek to limit God to only ONE thing, what you have is the sum of your limitations, not God. Thus many God Forms, all aspects of the one source.

    As the different streams having their sources in different paths which men take through different tendencies , various though they appear, crooked or straight, easy or difficult all lead to THEE(GOD)
    Three blind men walking on a road met an Elephant.
    One touched the trunk and said this is what the animal is , where as other touched the ear and said this is what the animal is, the third one touched the foot and argued this is the animal.
    We are all blind and keep on arguing about God...
    There is a frog which resides in a small well for long years.
    One day a frog from pond suddenly fell into that well and met the frog of well.
    On having a discussion frog of pond says that I lived in pond which is much much bigger than your well.
    The frog from well who spent all its years in well only argues relentlessly that nothing can be bigger than his well and finally the argument got so heated that frog of well drove the frog of pond out from the well.
    So we lived in our boundaries and think this is the limit.
    The seed is put in the ground, and earth and air and water are placed around it. Does the seed become the earth, or the air, or the water? No. It becomes a plant. It develops after the law of its own growth, assimilates the air, the earth, and the water, converts them into plant substance, and grows into a plant.
    Similar is the case with religion. The Christian is not to become a Hindu or a Buddhist, nor a Hindu or a Buddhist to become a Christian. But each must assimilate the spirit of the others and yet preserve his individuality and grow according to his own law of growth.
    The water we drink is called "Pani" in Hindi, "Jol" in Bengali and "Water" in English. But that doesn't differ the true nature of water or the usefulness

    Sin is pre-existing in all. Sin pre-dates The Bible. The Bible explains origins of sin. The Bible provides remedy for sin through Jesus Christ. The Bible is best selling book in the world for this reason.
    Sin is the opium.
    In The Bible we know Who made the world, who marred it, who ransacked it, and Who restored it.
    Media, Police, Defense, Judiciary, Penitentiary, Security, Contracts confirm sin exists.
    God created universe, natural laws, made man in His image, gave talents, instructed man to explore and multiply. We are made good with good purpose. We are good. Then sin entered and we fallen. Disease, despair, death entered. Sin plays spoilsport.
    Unloose the Soul from the tight knot of sin. Soul outlasts death.
    Religion says "Do". Jesus Christ says "Done".
    Sinners cannot save themselves from sin. Jesus Christ, the Holy God, intervened to save us from sin.
    Jesus Christ came from heaven (The First Christmas), died willingly for our sins on The Cross (The First Good Friday), and resurrected death (The Resurrection Day, also linked to Easter). Jesus Christ lived a Holy life, while on earth.
    Unable to find any motive for Jesus Christ to die willingly on Cross and resurrect - except His love to save us from pre-existing sin.
    Jesus Christ suffered, understands our pain. He raised victorious, we can too.
    Salvation from sin is free gift of God in Jesus Christ. Salvation is not earned through works or deeds or pilgrimages or rituals or ceremonies or traditions or cultures or public displays or making sacrifices.
    Believe, repent of sins and accept Jesus Christ, and be saved. Simple. Nothing to lose, everything to gain.

    The story is, Lord Shiva grants a boon to his devotee Gajasur (gaja+asur = elephant headed demon who worships Shiva) that he would enter his stomach and stay there as long as the demon wished. Sensing a great threat to the worlds, Lord Vishnu plans to bring Shiva home and asks his sister Parvathi (alias naaraayaNi) to take bath and mediate upon her husband "uninterrupted". Contd...

    Almighty God, what absolute, total ignorance!!! To "witness" is a kind of a code word for "convert them to Christianity." The essence of Hinduism is:
    1. There is only ONE GOD that pervades the Universe. S/He is beyond names, so called "That," or also BRHMN (Brahman).
    2. Mystics and visionaries, over the millennia, have come up with their personal visions of God, which took form as images or idols, which people found easy to worship. They have such mystical implications. Ganesha, the Elephant headed God, for instance: the elephant head represents prodigious memory. One of his tusks is broken, implying He has overcome the extremes of craving and aversion. Large ears represent the ability to hear the scriptures. The large belly represents the ability to digest and dissolve all difficulties.
    3. The ONE supreme is also considered to have three forms/functions: Brahma the Creator, Vishnu the preserver, and Shiva the destroyer. Why a destroyer? That is the nature of life....birth, living and death. Each of the three deities has a male form and female form, as there are masculine and feminine forces in nature, like Yin and Yang in the Chinese tradition.
    4. Even "seemingly ignorant" Hindus know that the Idol is not God, but a form to worship, to reach God and ask for blessings.
    5. In Christianity, with its deeply, deeply flawed ideology, we are born "sinners" who can only be saved by devotion to Jesus. In Hinduism we are all born with pristine pure souls, but ego and other negativity of the mind such as anger, hatred, greed, and so on, overshadow our pure inner nature. We just need to realize the Truth, and learn our inner divine nature. We are born again and again, to further and further experience the magnificence of God's creation. Once we deeply realize our true inner nature, there is no need to be born again and we dwell with God forever. (Unless) we want to be born again to teach others.
    So please stop perpetuating this ignorance and teaching this ignorance to the young people in your ministries. For instance your absolute ignorance of the Swastika is amazing. It is not a symbol of fair skinned "Aryans" but rather a sacred symbol, thousands of years old, part of the Hindu tradition. India is a blend of multiple races. Swastika, Su-hasthika, means, that which is auspicious. Absolutely no racial or skin tone implications whatsoever. Did you know that the "Star of David" is also equally sacred in India? Enough from me. Just please, stop this display of total ignorance of other religions. The "Fat Buddha" has nothing to do with the Buddha at all, OK? The Buddha taught the "Middle Way," no extremes of starvation or indulgence, for instance.

    Parvathi pleads her husband to bring their son back to life. Shiva remembers the boon granted to gajasur (elaphant) demon, cuts the head of the elephant and attaches it to Ganesha's body and brings him back to life. Thus, Lord Ganesha is elephant headed and the elephant head symbolizes wisdom & memory. The reason why Shiva killed Ganesha is not out of ignorance (there is nothing that Lord Shiva does not know). Ganesha had to be twice born and with two bodies to kill another demon coz of his boon

    Gajasur just before dying prays lord Shiva to pardon his ignorance and asks him for another boon that his eyes should see Lord Shiva everyday. Shiva grants him the wish and also wears the elephant's skin as his clothes. When he comes back to home, Shiva sees Ganesha guarding the door and obstructing him from entering his own house. Out of anger he chops Ganesha's head off. Parvathi comes out listening to the shouts of ganesha and sees her son dead !...contd..

    This is not true. The Hare Krishna's are not an outbreak of Hinduism. The Hare Krishna's have a parampara, which is a disciplic succession going back to Lord Chaitanya. And each do have their disciplic succession. The Hare Krishna's DO NOT make blood sacrifices, only fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds etc. They make offerings of food, NO MEAT, to the dieties which you call "idols". Not like the abrahamic religions that sacrificed and took the life of animals and drank their blood and ate their flesh. A DISGUSTING PRACTISE. Let's talk about caste systems. The caste system is deem demoniac by the disciplic succession of the Hare Krishnas and the Vaishnava's. It was never supposed to be like it is in now. The Moslem Monguls (another abrahamic religion) came in and used the vanashram dharma, that states that everyone has different propensities of work and does not depend on what family you are born in. Also, Kali devi isn't one of the main dieties in India.

    Christ fits into Hinduism very easily, Jesus said he was the son of God. I have chosen to see him as the incarnation of Shri Ganesha… it makes sense to me at least. Jesus and Ganesha have very similar divine characteristics. Shri Ganesha is always worshiped first to establish purity, innocence, and righteousness. Jesus said you can only reach the kingdom of god through him, you must please Jesus or Shri Ganesha to reach your father (and/or) the holy spirit. (Kundalini for Hindus)
    Be innocent but be knowledgeable, do not be naïve. Have pure intentions always, and do not do onto others what you would not want done to yourself.

      The idea that he is everywhere, in all things, in you, in me, in the animals, and in the trees and the seas.
