![WHAT IS "SALVATION" FOR A HINDU? "Moksha” (the Hindu version of “salvation") is the reason Hindus perform practices like yoga, meditation, and mantras. However, moksha is not at all like Christian salvation, as this quote outlines: "[Moksha] is used to describe freedom from the cycle of birth and death, the ultimate goal in the Hindu religious life; release from the bondage of the Law of Karma and union with the Supreme Being (Brahman). It is generally thought that one achieves Moksha through
knowledge (Gyana), devotion (Bhakti), or right works (Karma).”; Hindus must perform all these practices to achieve their supposed salvation (samsara), breaking free from the fictitious endless cycle of birth, death, and rebirth (reincarnation). They believe we all must go through one life after another, after another, after another, and on and on. It is to supposedly work off what we did in past lives (karma), until somehow we achieve
a breakthrough that is said to come from using all those Hindu
techniques that are designed to get us connected with the
Hindu "deities," which are actually demon spirits. | image tagged in hindu,moksha,reincarnation,god,bible,karma | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5u4ldw.jpg)
![IS THE "WORD OF FAITH" MOVEMENT JUST WESTERNIZED HINDUISM? [4 of 4] Here are a few examples of what Word of Faith preachers are saying that is just Hinduism—and certainly not biblical: Jesse Duplantis: "The very first thing on Jesus' agenda was to get rid of poverty.” Excuse me?! Jesus said His priority was to glorify God, destroy the works of the devil, and to save us from sin. Frederick Price: "The apostles were businessmen. They were rich men that had plenty of money… Only rich people could take off for three and a half years… That's the reason why I drive a Rolls Royce. I'm following Jesus’ steps.” But the Bible says, "In
their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories made up."; Creflo Dollar: "I'm telling you, Jesus wasn't poor, and… Jesus didn't have no rags on. He wore designer clothes, honey!” Robert Tilton: "The only time people were poor in the Bible is when they were under a curse... Being poor is a sin.” But the Bible says this about Jesus giving up everything to come to earth as a poor man: “Though Jesus was rich, yet for your sake he became poor…” Just like the Word of Faith preachers here in West, an Eastern group of religious leaders also live lavish lifestyles. They too teach those who send them money that the donators can also become wealthy
if they would only practice the right “force of faith” with their words.
That is exactly what Word of Faith preachers and Hindu gurus all claim,
and it is how the religious leaders from both camps live. | image tagged in hindu,jesus,god,bible,cult,christian | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5u4izb.jpg)
![IS THE "WORD OF FAITH" MOVEMENT JUST WESTERNIZED HINDUISM? [3 of 4] Unfortunately, most followers of the Word of Faith movement don't realize it is basically the practice of Hinduism. And it’s not just similar. The core beliefs are the same. The Word of Faith movement has taken Hindu teachings, slapped Christianese on them, and used those false teachings to defraud folks in the Christian Church. The Hindu bill of goods that these Word of Faith people are selling goes something like this: You can get anything you want if you have enough belief, speak the right words, use the force of faith, send the TV preacher money to get trinkets,
and repeat phrases over and over—but that is Hinduism! Hindus are
taught to use the "God force" by utilizing mantras (repetitive chanting)
to create their own reality. World of Faith leaders adopted
those Hindu practices, only changing the terminology. | image tagged in god,bible,hindu,false teachers,christian | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5u4inz.jpg)
![IS THE "WORD OF FAITH" MOVEMENT JUST WESTERNIZED HINDUISM? [2 of 4] Whether you know much about Word of Faith preachers or not, it is rampant in the Christian Church today. When you see them on Christian television, just know that the whole thing is demonic. They are not only ripping off well-meaning—but uninformed—folks in the Church, most often it is the poorest Christians that they take advantage of. The only difference between Eastern, Hindu gurus and their American counterparts in the Word of Faith movement is that the latter sprinkle Christianese on the Hindu sales pitch. Folks want to believe the claims of slick men or women on television who promises to alleviate their health issues and financial struggles. Instead, just like the gurus in India, these conmen that have invaded the Western Church are just
scamming people to grab their cash, and that includes the many, many
Word of Faith preachers in the Christian Church today. | image tagged in hindu,christian,false teachers,god,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5u4idt.jpg)
![DO SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS, JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES, AND MORMONS PUT A CURSE ON THEIR FOLLOWERS? [4 of 4] By subjecting their followers to outdated Old Testament Law, as well as organizational rules—their prescription to supposedly make it to heaven—Seventh Day Adventists, Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and other cults put a horrible curse on their devotees. That is what these false faiths do with their works-based gospel, which is nothing new, just a repackaging of the same old heresy from way back at the beginning of the Church. Each of them are harming their followers to the point of putting those poor people under a curse. I did not say that. It is exactly what we find in Scripture. We flawed humans can't even keep the first commandment: How many of us have spent every day of our lives perfectly loving
the Lord our God with all our heart, mind, and strength? Don't say you have, or you'll also be guilty of violating the ninth commandment against lying—of course you already have anyway—I'm just trying to help. But my point is that we can't even make it past one requirement in an attempt to achieve our own salvation without Jesus. So, it ain't gonna happen! We need Christ. Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormonism, and many, many other false-faith organizations are just works-based cults—because cults are always works based. These groups begin their teachings by getting their source of authority (not the Bible) wrong and then all their other doctrine tumbles downhill from there. They may even profess to rely supremely on the Bible, but when pressed and in practice, they do not! Ultimately, they get the wrong way to heaven because they do not trust in the free work of Christ alone. And this has been
purposeful from their founding became a free gift from Jesus does
not allow those organizations to control people, gain slave labor,
and coerce a massive amount of money from them. | image tagged in mormon,adventist,jehovah's witness,god,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5u2qy4.jpg)
![IS THE "WORD OF FAITH" MOVEMENT JUST WESTERNIZED HINDUISM? [1 of 4] Even a secular world can see the Word of Faith preachers for the hucksters they are. Day after day they get on television, claiming we can have a perfect life full of riches beyond our most ambitious dreams, just as India’s gurus promise Hindus. Both the Word of Faith people and Hindu gurus also promise perfect health. Still, the Christian Church today is mostly silent about these people in our midst. And what is the result? Second Peter tells us that the failure to mention it, thus allowing it to grow in the Church, brings the truth of Christianity into shameful disrepute. We must call a spade a spade! Here are the kinds of preachers Peter warned us to look out for in these last days of the Christian Church: "In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them and their
destruction has not been sleeping.” In other words, we don't want
to be around them when the hammer comes down. | image tagged in hindu,false teachers,god,bible,jesus,church | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5u4hok.jpg)
![DO SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS, JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES, AND MORMONS PUT A CURSE ON THEIR FOLLOWERS? [3 of 4] The problem isn’t the Old Testament Law. What was the purpose of God’s law? As Paul says in Romans, the law is holy and righteous because it came from God. However, the reason the law can become a curse is because we humans decide to take it on, even though we are doomed to fail at that. And that's what we need to own up to. So, why did God still put the law out there? The Apostle Paul says this: "The law became our guardian to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith." Our inability to keep the law, even just the Ten Commandments, should drive
us to the commonsense conclusion that we need a savior. It should tell us we need help from God, because we cannot achieve an eternity spent with Him by our own actions—so, that fact drives us to humble ourselves and accept Christ’s offer of help. We're not to attempt getting ourselves justified by trying to live a perfect life like Christ did, because then we would not need Jesus. Besides, a sinless life is not possible for any person other than Christ. Instead, we are justified by our faith in Him, which is from His justification through being completely innocence under the law, while also taking on death at the cross for God’s glory and our salvation. Jesus was actually able to keep the law, so we must rely on Him taking
our place as condemned sinners. We must have faith in Him.
Then we receive God’s pardon. That is God’s law. | image tagged in adventist,mormon,jehovah's witness,god,bible,cult | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5u2qmr.jpg)
