How does a Hindu get to Heaven?

Question

More importantly, I would like to share with you the Truth about the afterlife. I only tell you this because I care what will happen to you when you die. Have you ever told a lie, stolen anything, used God’s name in vain? These are just a few of God’s Moral Laws. When you die, God will judge you on the basis of His Moral Law. If you stand guilty before God of breaking His Laws, He will send you to Hell. If God is Just and Holy, He must punish lawbreakers. The good news is that God provided a way for you to be forgiven and go to Heaven. Jesus Christ died on a cross and rose again to pay the debt for your sins and take your punishment. What you must do is Repent, which means to say you are sorry to God and turn away from your sins. Then put your complete Trust in Jesus Christ. Only then will you be accepted into Heaven, not because you’re a good person, but because you’re a bad person who’s been forgiven. Please give this some thought. Your Eternal Destination depends on it.

Answer 1

A Hindu's aim is not to enter heaven; it is to moksha.

Answer 2

So what you are trying to say here is everybody is put on this earth as a bad person...who must only accept a certain person in their life and then they will be forgiven and let go to heaven. I do not understand how God could have any amount of hate in him to send anybody, as "evil" as they were on planet earth, to burn in hell. I just can't beleive that we only get two choices when we die. Take for example, I am Jewish. Does it mean since we do not beleive that Jesus Christ has come, that I am going straight to hell because the beleif that I was born into just automatically dooms me the minute I am born. All religions in this world have one important message and that is to love all and forgive all for their mistakes. Somehow, people like yourself compeltely misinterpret the message and automatically turn it into your own power trip religion. It is not right to tell a very kind hearted person who does not do anything "morally" wrong that they will go straight to hell because they do not have the exact same beleifs you do. That is ignorant and selfish. Those are words of hate and fear and I do not beleive God has anything to do wtih that. Those are the illusions that are created on this earth that we must overcome to pass to the next level. This is not a race or competition to see who is better. Please stop misinforming those who think they need your help.

Answer 3

You're confused.

Hindus seek NIRVANA (enlightenment), NOT Heaven. Heaven is a concept in the Christian religion.

Hindus believe in a system of karma and reincarnation, so you learn and grow from past experiences and mistakes. Sin and eternal damnation are concepts that are, again, of the CHRISTIAN religion.

They are two different spiritual paths. However, if you examine them closely enough you will see that there are many similarities... BOTH talk about being a GOOD PERSON, just like ANY other religion out there.

You should find a copy of the BHAGAVAD GHITA and READ it. You will learn a lot about Hinduism. You might even come to realize that Hinduism is a path with valid teachings, even if they do not pray to the same deity.

Answer 4

A hindu gets to heaven admitting they are a sinner, acknowledging Christ's death on the cross for that sin then accepting Jesus as their Savior and only way to heaven.
Hope that answers your question

BTW God does not judge on the basis of His "moral law" He will judge first if you have accepted the gift of His Son, then if you have He will then judge what you have done with that gift.

Answer 5

You can make fun of Hindus if you want but I assure you that these people know God more completely than most of the bible thumpers that spout nonsense about God on this forum. Perhaps you should study some Hindu scripture if you intellect can handle it you will be surprised to learn that western science and theology are just now catching up to what Hindu scripture was teaching 4000 years ago. Your comment is based on ignorance if it was intended to be derogatory, as are all derogatory comments toward the faith of others.

God is certainly more pleased with the sincere prayers of a devout Hindu than he is with bigoted ravings of many whom mistakenly call them selves Christians. Love and blessings. Your brother Don

Answer 6

A Hindu does not go to Heaven, he goes to Nirvana. You are attempting to apply western thinking to the minds of the East. Eastern and western thinking are so different from each other that it is a wonder that we communicate at all. We use entirely different methods of reasoning in order to reach eternal truths.

Great Christian missionaries to India spent several years in India, becoming friends with the Brahmin priests and learning the teachings of Hinduism. After they understood and had been accepted, then they becan to share their own faith.

Your approach would have been considered most offensive. First, you ingratiate yourself to your hosts and respect them by listening to their stories. Only later, do you share. Remember, "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread."

Answer 7

You better re-think your post and correct the errors.For instance there is no hell for humans,that is why we are warned about "the second death".Also humans do not go to "heaven",God the Word,aka,Jesus comes first and 1000 years later God the father,aka,Jehovah,aka,I AM comes to earth and brings the new Jerusalem.

Answer 8

4But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.

Answer 9

Why are you judging other religions? Hindus do not aim to go to Heaven, the aim to reach Moksha. And stop insulting other religions. If I said things like this about Chrstianity, you would incredibly offended. So stop.

Answer 10

You are quite a nut. You know as much as God, although you apparently think you know ever more, and can speak on behalf of God, with your half-baked screwball theories. Why not try thinking with the brain that you must have, even if you have failed to use it so far?

Answer 11

Hindu's don't get to heaven. and God doesn't judge you by what you did right and wrong. He judges by if you have accepted him into your heart. Galatians 2:6 says, Some people in Jerusalem seemed to be very important. It makes no difference to me what they were. God does not judge by what he sees on the outside. Those people added nothing to my message.
