Are you saying Hindus deliberately choose to turn their backs on God by worshipping their own Gods?

There is no pluralism in Hinduism."The oldest Repository of human Knowledge"-Rk Veda says "Ekaiva Brahmam Satyam"-Vipra Bahudha Vadhathi"-There is ONE and only G-O-D=God-Hindus call it "Eeswara"-But learned people describe Him with many names,based on His attributes..Hindus ALONE go to Heaven.I do not know about others.

The Word of God is the same for everyone. Pluralism is the belief that there are many dieffernt views and that everyone should be respectful of what everyone esle believes whether you agree with it or not. The Bible asks us to be kind and patient and loving, so the Bible supports that view. If you do not agree, you are not intolerant. You are intolerant when you do not ALLOW one to believe in what they choose.
However, a constitutionally protected righ to believe whatever you want does not make claims of that belief valid or true.
The truth by definition excludes that which contradicts it. ( Ravi Zacharias )They can bee all wrong but they cannot all be right. Proverbs 14:12 says " There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end leads to death".
The Bible teaches a principle theologians call " available light" John 9:41. The Available Light principle says that people are responsible for ( and judged n the basis of ) how they responded to the light ( knowledge ) they have.
God is loving and just. He is kind but He needs to keep His Word to be Just. No one is saved by their religion or their good works; the only way that anyone can ever be saved is through faith in the Living God Acts 4:12
No one else claims to be the way. Jesus said ( attn red ink )" I am the way and the truth and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through me". No one. He is the only way. John 14:6.
We all have the choice to make. I follow Jesus. : )

If you don't mind. Can you provide the scripture that says you go to hell? I've been reading it for sometime and I'm convinced that the word/concept isn’t in the Bible.
To be thrown in a like of fire...That could just mean to be killed.
The Revelation given to the apostle John speaks of a “lake that burns with fire and sulphur” into which are thrown all those who practice bad things. (Revelation 21:8) If hell exists, this must be it, since the wicked go there. But this same Bible book tells us that **death, inherited from Adam, and Hades **will be thrown into this same lake of fire. Can these two abstract things suffer? No. But the fire here can and does represent their disappearance, which will take place once they have ‘given up those dead in them,’ that is, after the resurrection of the dead.—Revelation 20:13, 14.

The Hindus worship their gods. Unless you plan to become a Hindi, what they worship has little to do with the question.
When you use the term God in English, you are referring the revelation found in the bible. You can believe it or reject it. Your actions has nothing to do with wanting God.
Heaven is where God is and hell is where God isn't. Earth is where we are. Not wanting God is not being in hell; God is with us whether we want Him or not.
Fortunately for us, God judges.
Answer: Quit playing God, and let God work.

"Hindus deliberately choose to turn their backs on God"??? wtf? whose God are you talking about? I'm confused. how are they turning their back on "God", when they are worshiping their own Gods?
Why don't you rephrase the question this way- "Why don't Hindus worship our "God"? Hinduism is the world's oldest religion, so do you believe Hindus care if you think their turning their backs on your God? There are 1 billion Hindus in the world, I think they careless what you think, as they don't care and don't believe in your "God".
One more thing, if Hindus don't believe in hell, how the hell are they gonna end up there?
lastly, why bring this up? Hinduism is probably the most tolerant religion in the world, just live and go to wherever you belive you will go.

People reject Jesus. People reject Him as the Creator. This is the unpardonable sin spoken of in scripture. When the Holy Spirit convincts a person of Sin, showing them the truth, they must respond with repentance. If they do not, then their chance for a pardon from their condemnation is gone.
Thankfully, Creation itself literally points to a creator. The Gospel message has been much more widely preached in history than most people know.

Yes and they and the atheists will swim in the lake which burneth with fire.
Whereas Baptists will party with god, for they shouted praises to Jesus.
Church people are so holy even their dogs get admitted to heaven.

Orion,
The Hindus will be there too. Anyone who rejects God, will end up in Hell.

Satan acknowleges God. That really is insignificant. Most people are deceived, and yes they're turning their backs on the true God. Only one God should be worshipped, the one true God. Test everything whether it be the truth.

In my religion, Jesus says "None may enter the kingdom of Heaven but through me."
When I prayed on this point I was disturbed by that same thought. But there is also a passage that says, "The slave who obeys because he knows the law does well, the slave who obeys but does not know the law is blessed, the slave who does NOT obey because he does not KNOW the law receives only a light beating, but it is the slave who knows the law AND does not obey that receives a heavy beating."
So Jesus is still the way, but mercy will be given generously to those who deserve it.
