Christianity = Hinduhism?? by Nobody: 12:44pm On Jul 31, 2016 |
Correspondences between Hinduism and some branches of Christianity: At least some branches of Christianity share the following beliefs with Hinduism: 1. A future reward in heaven or punishment in Hell. 2. Hinduism and Catholicism share the concept of Purgatory. 3. A day of judgment. 4. A general resurrection. 5. The need for repentance for sin. 6. Salvation requires faith in the Savior. 7. A belief in angels and of evil spirits. 8. A belief that disease and sickness is caused by evil spirits. 9. A past war in heaven between good and bad angels. 10. Free will. 11. God is considered the "Word of Logos." 12. Their religious texts talk of "the blind leading the blind," "a new heaven and a new earth, "living water," "all scripture is given by inspiration of God," "all scripture is profitable for doctrine," "to die is great gain," etc. 13. Fasting. 14. Being born again. Other points of similarity between Hinduism and Christianity: Symbols: The trident -- traditionally carried by the Hindu God-Goddess Shiva, is somewhat similar to the Christian cross. Adding a vertical horn at both ends of the horizontal bar of a cross will convert it into a trident with three prongs. This actually was done to a Christian cross erected by a Baptist community of 1,200 in Ranalia, India. For decades, the Baptists had annually whitewashed a cross symbol on a large rock in a hill above the town. In early 1999, someone added two horns, turning the cross into a trident. When the smoke cleared (literally) more than 150 mud huts owned by Christians had been gutted by arson. Some named the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party as perpetrators. However, that was denied by the local head of the party. This is a very unusual event, because Hindus in India are known for their unusually high level of religious tolerance. Many Hindus believe that all religions can lead their members to God. The role of water: Most Christians baptize either mature members or infants in the congregation. Sometime this is done by total immersion in water; sometimes by sprinkling water over the individual's head. In the Roman Catholic Church, baptism is a sacrament that washes away the person's original sin. Immersion in water by Hindus is also an important ritual. "Water in Hinduism has a special place because it is believed to have spiritually cleansing powers...In the sacred water distinctions of caste are supposed to count for nothing, as all sins fall away...Every temple has a pond near it and devotees are supposed to take a bath before entering the temple." 1 Like |

At least hindus believe in one God and his innumerable demigods.xtianity believes in three Gods and pantheon of deified humans. xtianity is simply the worst form of paganism to come the earth. |

AmenRa1: Who do you call Christians? Christian means Christ-like. Did Christ Jesus move n.akedly? If anybody does anything Jesus didn't command, he is not a Christian. So to do baptism they have to converge on a place and move totally n.akedly both males and females without any covering to a river? Where did you see that done in Christianity? I repeat, anyone who is not Christ-like is not a Christian even if he owns a Church. |
