whats da christians' take on hinduism?

Answer 1

Hinduism is a religion with many beliefs and practices, so offering a comparison of Christianity and Hinduism is challenging. It would be doing Hinduism an injustice to reduce its theology and philosophies to a scope that would be required to truly offer a comparison with Christianity. However, there are some tenets to Hinduism that are universal to all Hindus.

The first difference between Hinduism and Christianity is that Hinduism embraces Christianity as a valid religion whereas the Bible does not. Hinduism is a religion that advocates tolerance. It teaches that all religions are different paths leading to one goal; all religions are different means to one end. Hinduism is not exclusive and accepts all religions as valid. Christianity, however, teaches that Christ is the only way to God. John 14:6 says, "Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"

Philosophically, it is impossible for religions with mutually-exclusive doctrines to be equally valid. Where we find contradiction, we must find error. Either Christ was wrong or He was right when He claimed to be the only path to God. It is simple arithmetic, not spiritual elitism.

A comparison between Christianity and Hinduism reveals ancient practices which appear similar. In all ancient religions, Hinduism included, we find reparation for sins being done through sacrifices to an enraged God. In Hinduism and Judaism, this sacrifice is an animal sacrifice. Both theologies preach a divine commandment of righteousness, and failure to comply requires a penalty. This ancient instinct to make reparation for wrong doings suggests that Romans 2:14-15 is true: "Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law. . .they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them."

The culmination of these sacrifices for sin is found in Christianity. We have all done things we know are wrong. Both Hinduism and Christianity preach a divine commandment of perfect righteousness and that we are held accountable for our actions. The difference is that Christianity preaches the penalty for our sin has already been paid by the death of Jesus Christ on the cross. To become a Christian is to accept the ultimate sacrifice to avoid the ultimate penalty.

Answer 2

Any true Bible believing, born again Christian will tell you that there are two types of religions in the world.

1 - eternal salvation/joy/peace/hope/happiness/fulfillment is through good works by man (Buddism, Hinduism, Roman Catholicism, Mormonism, etc..)

2 - eternal salvation was bought by the blood of Jesus (Biblical Christianity alone)

Answer 3

Please, most Christians do not behave like Christians. Their pre-Christian behavior is hard coded in their genes, i.e. Celtic paganism, Nordic Viking barbaric behavior, German Goth predatory practices etc. They became Christian in name only because their kings asked them to. If indeed European origin people were true Christians, would they have sold opium to China, colonized India, screwed over Africans and made them slave, killed Jews,and gave smallpox infected blankets and booze to Native American Indians? It is just a hoax self righteous cult to hide behind their bloodthirsty conquest of planet earth.

As Gandhi said when asked what he thought of Western civilization, he replied " Good concept"; when he was asked what he thought of Christianity, he replied, " Christianity's main problem are its followers"

Answer 4

da_self,
I think that most Christians might answer you with something like there is only one way into heaven, and that is through the Lord Jesus Christ.

I really don't think that most Christians pay too much attention to Hinduism.

Edit: By the way, That post above about Hindu attacking Islam is so, "The pot calling the kettle black!" Islam should have little to say about attacking anything.

Answer 5

Christians dont care about hindusm. They only attack Islam.

Heres a typical deceptive technique to confuse muslims and weaken their faith:
