Trinity - Christianity and Hinduism?

Question

Trinity - - Jehovah, Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit
Trinity - - Brahma, Vishnu, Shivan

Comparitive study...!

777 - is represented as power in 3 worlds

7 - GOD of Heavens
7 - GOD of Earth
7 - GOD of Hell [ GOD has the Key]

and as satan wants to BE LIKE GOD,

6 - He had all powers to rule the heaven, yet he is next to GOD
6 - He had all powers to rule the Earth, yet he cannot create a life.
6 - He is the ruler of Hell, yet he doesnt have the Key and the power.

As GOD exist in Trinity, Satan duplicates the Trinity in an incomplete form of 666.

Comment on this, with respect to the previous question.

Answer 1

Proverbs chapter 8 verses 22 -36 shows us that Jesus had a beginning and that he was with God before the earth was created, working alongside his Father as a master worker, in helping to create all things. Jehovah is Almighty God, Christ Jesus is his Son and the holy spirit is Jehovah's active force which he uses to accomplish his purposes and to strengthen his servants. See also Colossians 1:15 and Rev 3:14.

Answer 2

First of all, the Christian Trinity is **FATHER**, Jesus Christ, & Holy Spirit. All 3 Persons are Jehovah. The Name "Jesus," means "Jehovah Saves."

The Hindu trinity is called the **Trimurti.** Not 'trinity.'

On the surface the Christian Trinity & the Hindu Trimurti do appear to be similar. However, they Both have their differences, namely that the Christian Trinity Is Only Father, Son, & Holy Spirit, because Christianity is a monotheistic religion. Hinduism, on the other hand is a pantheistic religion, believing that God is everything, & everything is God. The 3 persons of the Trimurti that are Brahma, Vishnu, & Shiva are themselves divided into further deities. Example: Vishnu has 8 avatars, & Hindus expect a future avatar of Vishnu as well. The 2 most famous avatars of Vishnu are Krishna & Rama.

The Buddha is also considered an avatar of Vishnu also, however, Hindus all but pay any attention to him(sort of the same way the Jewish people pay little attention to Jesus).

There are also goddesses in the Brahman. Christians have no goddesses in the Godhead.

Answer 3

The idea of a triune godhead goes back to Babylon, where they worshipped Sin (the moon-god), Shamash (the sun-god), and Ishtar (the fertility goddess).

The Bible's account of God confusing the languages of man during the construction of the tower of Babel nicely explains how all false religious teachings we see today can be traced back to Babylonish religion. Immortality of the sould was first believed there also.

Even Catholics admit the Trinity was not believed by the apostles! The New Catholic Encyclopedia states: “The formulation ‘one God in three Persons’ was not solidly established, certainly not fully assimilated into Christian life and its profession of faith, prior to the end of the 4th century. But it is precisely this formulation that has first claim to the title the Trinitarian dogma. Among the Apostolic Fathers, there had been nothing even remotely approaching such a mentality or perspective.”—(1967), Vol. XIV, p. 299.

In The Encyclopedia Americana we read: “Christianity derived from Judaism and Judaism was strictly Unitarian [believing that God is one person]. The road which led from Jerusalem to Nicea was scarcely a straight one. Fourth century Trinitarianism did not reflect accurately early Christian teaching regarding the nature of God; it was, on the contrary, a deviation from this teaching.”—(1956), Vol. XXVII, p. 294L.

According to the Nouveau Dictionnaire Universel, “The Platonic trinity, itself merely a rearrangement of older trinities dating back to earlier peoples, appears to be the rational philosophic trinity of attributes that gave birth to the three hypostases or divine persons taught by the Christian churches. . . . This Greek philosopher’s [Plato, fourth century B.C.E.] conception of the divine trinity . . . can be found in all the ancient [pagan] religions.”—(Paris, 1865-1870), edited by M. Lachâtre, Vol. 2, p. 1467.

John L. McKenzie, S.J., in his Dictionary of the Bible, says: “The trinity of persons within the unity of nature is defined in terms of ‘person’ and ‘nature’ which are G[ree]k philosophical terms; actually the terms do not appear in the Bible. The trinitarian definitions arose as the result of long controversies in which these terms and others such as ‘essence’ and ‘substance’ were erroneously applied to God by some theologians.”—(New York, 1965), p. 899.

The Trinity is a man-made idea, not supported by the Bible.

Answer 4

May be but there is much more similarity in religious thoughts in Christianity and Hinduism. For example there is similarity in beliefs of Heaven and Hell means Swarg and Narak as well as Angel means Maya and Satan means Saitan. Hindu believes in rebirth they believe that Soul means Atma never die but it changes or enter from old body to new one. The same way Jesus got rebirth.Hindu believes that Soul means Atma is a micro part of God means Parmatma the big God or father God.As Atma(Soul) is a micro part or image of God it can not die. Hindu do not believe that three different God but they believe that a God have three qualities or he command on three different work. Brahma gives life, Vishnu gives water and air for live.and Shiv gives fire and light.That is why in picture of God Hindu shows a God has three faces.

Answer 5

Yet, they are both Trinities, groups of three, but there is a big difference in how the two religions see them.
The Christian Trinity is supposed to be ONE GOD / THREE PERSONS (God the Father is the name more commonly used than Jehovah).
The Hindu one are the three most important Gods, THREE GODS / THREE PERSONS.

If you don't buy it, neither do I, but that is how the believers accept it to be. To believe = to accept as true without having (or even asking for) proof.

Answer 6

We can't call Trinity in Hinduism...they are imaginary Idols....three different idols. Trinity in Christianity is the true one...God The Father, God The Son and God The Holy Spirit...all are one...The God.

Answer 7

If we study Hinduism and Christianity, the teachings are almost the same. As Hinduism is over 5000 years old so many wrong practises crept into and Christianity has it only of 2000 years.

Further what happened to Hinduism is they adopted many mythologies as part of their religious teachings and those contradicts with original teachings of Lord Krishna.

If we go to Bhagawat Geetha, Lord Krishna says:

Many goes behind different deities to meet their undue desires.
They pray their deities but I listen their prayers.
I am the one who answers their prayers.
They receive the replies of their prayers from me but they know not.
What they receive through these deities are perishables and causes curses.

These are from my memory and it is not the word to word translation of the part.

I am a Christian and when I read Bhagawat Geetha, I feel that it is the ultimate spirituality in continuation of Christianity.

Answer 8

Nothing Similar, as the Hinduism Gods are Bramha, Vishnu & Mahesh, whereas those three are not Gods, but prophets or lower things. Although these 3 Gods are one only depicted in 3 forms.

Answer 9

Maybe Lord Jesus adopted the Trinity concept when he came to India during those fourteen years for which christians have no records about him.

Answer 10

As one of Jehovah's Witnesses I can assure you the trinity doctrine is niether Christian nor Biblical
