Blessings to you, Rajeeb. First, I would suggest that we should start by comparing the two religions. It would also be obvious that offering a comparison of Christianity and Hinduism is quite a challenging task. I might begin by pointing out that Hinduism is not exclusive and accepts all religions as valid. On the other hand, Christianity, teaches that Christ is the only way to God. The Bible tells us in John 14:6, "Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.' As a Christian, I must believe that Jesus could not be telling a lie, because He is truth and truth is a product of reality. It is not possible for two opposing statements to be equally valid. Where we see the contradiction, we must also find the error. Either Christ was wrong or He was right when He claimed to be the only path to God. Both Christianity and Hinduism hold beliefs which appear similar, but there is a major difference that is not to be overlooked. In Hinduism, as well as Judaism, we find a sort of compensation being made for sins through sacrifices to an angry God. Both religions teach that this is done through animal sacrifice. The culmination of these sacrifices for sin is found only in Christianity. This is where God's love for His creation is made evident. I can think of no other religion that teaches of their Savior being made a sacrifice for the sins of anyone else. Jesus explains His love for us in John 15:13, "Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends." We have all done things we know are wrong. Both Hinduism and Christianity relate the divine commandment of "perfect righteousness" and also that we are to be 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 by faith that this ultimate sacrifice is sufficient and through the grace of God we are able to avoid the ultimate penalty. There are many people who are much better at explaining the dynamics of this than I. Two of them are Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron, and I suggest you listen to their video messages at www.wayofthemaster.com/ In His Love, keliy |

2 | Banker are sinner or not | Deut 23:19 | Rajeeb | 215208 | ||
Dear Keliy Thankyou very much to for helping me to find out how to proceed in life. I believe in the ten commandments immensely. Most important is Idol worshipping. I use to worship idols before but now a days I have stopped doing the same. Regarding the Hindu religion I would rather tell that it varies from place to place. In my place I am not allowed to worship Idols even, and in some circumstance I see similarity between the two religions. As for instance we have to speak to our father in Holy spirit for everything..it is not merely prayer...we have to do as we are talking to our father in Heaven and He is not having any shape or structure. In Bible , jesus told that he will again come to make all the human being adopted son and daughter of the almighty father. So is the case I am finding in Hindu religion, for me it is more important to Know my father then following norms of religion and I find Bible to be good guide for the same and hence I read it. After all not worshipping Idols is a tremendous change in the visualisation of Lord ,,I was having a few years back. Take care and seeking his blessing to make us understand his ways..For me at the present moment understanding the verse regarding interest on money is important as I want to serve people in a menial way and hence seeking your guidance God bless Rajeeb. |

Dear Rajeeb, Thank you for providing us your background and your earnestness in pursuing your belief is much appreciated. However, as far as I have noticed, your concern is so much on the law and God the Father. Do you have any idea of the Gospel of salvation through faith in Christ alone and by Grace alone? The Pharisees diligently study and keep the law, yet, they are cursed by Jesus our saviour (Mat 23:13). Satan and his dominion know God and the Son (James 2:19), yet, the lake of fire is prepared for them (Revelation 19 and 20). John 14:6 Jesus *said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. Acts 4:12 "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved." Shalom Azure |
