![HOW DOES HINDUISM COMPARE TO CHRISTIANITY? [4 of 4] Even with the many obvious, core differences between Christianity and Hinduism’s works-based system, we often hear un-researched and false statements like, “All faiths and religions teach mostly the same stuff." But that’s a lie! Christianity is absolutely unique and is the only way to heaven. In John 4:16, Jesus said, “No one comes to the Father except through Me.” But still to this day,
in his depravity, Satan has invented countless false
paths that just confuse people away from Jesus. And the devil does so out of pure evil, wanting all he can dupe to join him in the Lake of Fire. Satan knows he's lost; he was a doomed loser when Christ beat him on the cross. But the devil teams up with humans who seek power and money. Together they deceive people all the way to eternity in hell. The alternative is to accept the free gift of salvation offered to us through Jesus' work on the cross. By just accepting that, we will be spending eternity as a child of the
One Supreme Being, the almighty and eternal God. | image tagged in reincarnation,karma,hindu,bible,god,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5rn9ko.jpg)
![HOW DOES HINDUISM COMPARE TO CHRISTIANITY? [1 of 4] All faiths except biblical Christianity falsely base your entrance into heaven (or some supposed other afterlife, or reincarnation) on your own works—they are religions or cults and they are all works-based. That religiosity is popular because people want to FEEL more spiritual by doing religious tasks, instead of having to humble themselves to receive free forgiveness of their sins through Jesus. So, religions like Hinduism take advantage of that mindset by having their followers perform rituals to appease the 300 million Hindu gods (demons). Man’s need for religiosity allows religions to control people, just as Hindu priests did in early Hinduism, growing in power by threatening non-compliant follower's with bad “Karma," meaning the person would continue being stuck in an endless loop of supposedly living one life after another. This is their
false teaching of reincarnation. And that same works-based dynamic
is taught across the planet through world RELIGIONS and cults. | image tagged in hindu,reincarnation,karma,christian,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5rn6pk.jpg)
![IF JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY, WHAT ABOUT THE DESERT ISLAND GUY WHO HAS NEVER HEARD OF HIM? [2 of 2] Even if our desert-island recluse was blind and deaf, (so he could not see or hear God’s creation), Romans 2 talks about the second C (of the three C’s that prove God’s existence): the light of “Conscience.” People inherently know it's wrong to murder. Where did that come from? If evolution were true, there would be no right and wrong, right? Of course, over time people like Hitler can have their conscience become seared; early on though, everyone knows it is inherently wrong to kill and steal. Where did that come from? Since many have not seen God’s
Ten Commandments, where did they get those same morals? That's the moral argument of existence, which logically tells us that universal, moral laws must come from a universal, moral-law giver—God. There has to be a God! So, Creation and Conscience (2 C’s) testify that there is a God, and those two truths pull the rug from under skeptics; our island guy has no excuse. The third "C" is “Christ,” and this one is for you! We addressed the hypothetical straw-man argument of the desert-island guy, mountaintop person, or the one lost in isle 37 at Wal-Mart, but none of that matters if you are the one reading this. We are all sinners, Christ died to save us from hell, and all we must do is accept His free gift of salvation that He supplied for us
by dying on the cross for our sins. If you hadn't heard prior, at least
you're accountable now, and doesn’t that bring it back home? | image tagged in jesus,god,bible,heaven,hell,christ | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5qoejq.jpg)

![WHY DO LESS THAN 50% OF CHRISTIANS TRUST THE BIBLE 100%? [4 of 4] Then there's this important fact about the rock solid credibility of the Bible: Scripture was written over a period of 1500 years, through 40 generations, by 40 authors from every walk of life, including kings, peasants, philosophers, fisherman, poets, statesmen, etc. Before getting saved, I used to say the Bible was whipped up by men, but even on his best day, man could never put together something like the Bible. The writers didn't even know each other, so how can critics claim they conspired? The diverse authors of the Bible were from all over the spectrum: Moses, was a political leader; Peter, a Fisherman; Amos, a herdsman; Joshua, a military general; Nehemiah, a cup bearer; Daniel, a prime minister; Luke, a doctor;
Solomon, a King; Matthew, a tax collector; and Paul was a rabbi. Scripture was written in all kind of places: the wilderness, a dungeon, on a hillside, in a palace, from prison, while traveling, by John on the island of Patmos, and during military campaigns. That last one was during war, but some of the Bible was also written in times of peace. So there were many different moods of the authors, from the heights of joy to the depths of despair and sorrow. On top of all that, Scripture was written on three continents (Asia, Africa, and Europe) in three languages (Hebrew, Koine Greek, and a small part was Aramaic). With those aspects of the Bible in mind, here are the mind-blowers: Never once does the Bible contradict itself and it gives the same message throughout the Old and New Testament.
So I'll say it again: Even on their best day, there is NO WAY humans
—without God's direction—could ever whip up something like that. The Bible
is THE one authority for mankind, straight from our Creator! | image tagged in bible,god,christian,scripture,jesus,truth | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5p54nc.jpg)
![WHY DO LESS THAN 50% OF CHRISTIANS TRUST THE BIBLE 100%? [3 of 4] Another reason we can trust the Bible is that there are close to 25,000 copies of the New Testament, some from the actual lifetime of the writers. It used to be that the oldest were amazingly within only 25 years of the date written, but now we even have Scripture from the same year the writing was originally created. Those copies are on scrolls that were stored in pottery at Qumran in the Judean Desert, part of Israel’s West Bank. And for some strange reason, that extraordinary historical find gets no attention from the secular media or airtime on the History Channel. Why would
they ignore Old and New Testament materials, especially when
some of the latter is from the same year the original was written. I’ve repeated that twice because it is absolutely phenomenal, and greatly contributes to the unquestionable reliability of the Bible. Now let’s contrast the Bible with similarly ancient writings from Aristotle and Plato—that no one mocks as unverifiable: The Bible has 25,000 copies, some from within the same year as the original, yet people feel free to question the authority and authenticity of Scripture, while the earliest copies of Plato and Aristotle are 1200 and 1400 years removed, respectively, from the originals. And there are only 7 and 49 copies of those works on the whole planet. No one scoffs at the authenticity of those books, while at the
same time they do with the Bible, which is exponentially more
reliable, even if all you look at is the original writings. | image tagged in bible,god,jesus,truth,scripture,christian | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5p544o.jpg)
![WHY DO LESS THAN 50% OF CHRISTIANS TRUST THE BIBLE 100%? [2 of 4] A second testament to the veracity of the Bible is the Jewish copy methods, including writing on long-lasting surfaces like animal skins, pottery, and even copper scrolls. Through God’s sovereign plan to preserve His Word for future generations, many of these Scriptures were stored in the desert, where extreme dryness greatly facilitated the preservation process. It's almost like God knew what He was doing, right? Also, the Jewish scribes had to produce these Scriptures with the exact same number of lines and
columns throughout every Bible codex (an ancient text in book form). In fact, the process involved a mathematical formula, a mandatory recipe for the ink, and nothing being written from memory—not even insignificant punctuation. The copiers had to sit in full dress and rewash their entire body each time they wrote the name of God. Even if a king or other royalty addressed a scribe doing this sacred work, the copier could not acknowledge that noble, an insubordinate act that was most
likely punishable by death. So, you can see that the integrity of
the manuscript was an extremely serious endeavor. | image tagged in bible,god,jesus,christian,christ,truth | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5p53fo.jpg)
![WHY DO LESS THAN 50% OF CHRISTIANS TRUST THE BIBLE 100%? [1 of 4] Knowing the Bible is exactly the way God laid it out for us, Christians can fully trust it as the only book that has all God’s truth and instructions, the correct history, and a completely reliable look into our future. Contrary to that solid foundation for life, which involves a relationship with Jesus, cults and religions just prescribe rituals, donations, mantras, sacrifices, worship of malevolent entities (demons), and other works you must perform because of empty threats and promises. And those teachings from man don't reveal ultimate knowledge and truth because
only the Bible can do that. In fact, much of it involves lies. Of course, the Bible has skeptics who claim we can’t trust that Moses (around 1445 BC) was the one who wrote about the Garden of Eden that we see in Genesis. But that's the importance of the Bible’s genealogies like the three men in Genesis 10 who together live through the first 2157 years of mankind. How could that be? Well, we know people lived longer life spans during the first couple centuries, and that's not just spiritualizing the biblical text: We even have proof scientifically, as we detail with our study called "In the Days of Noah," which is part of our "Creation Series." So, much of Scripture’s history came
from only three guys who knew each other for a long, long time; it
wasn’t just some breakout session during a weekend conference
that hopefully archived the information accurately. | image tagged in bible,god,scripture,jesus,christian,genesis | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5p2lpu.jpg)

![IF JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY, WHAT ABOUT THE DESERT ISLAND DWELLER WHO HAS NEVER HEARD OF HIM? [1 of 2]
Let’s say this island guy has not seen another person—no human, animal, bird, or even an insect. The skeptic's question is this: "Do you mean to tell me God is going to send that poor guy to hell?” You may know the answer if you’ve already watched our seminary-style study called "Discipleship 101 and 102," a disciple's education for every Christian, because the last directive from Jesus as He left earth was, "Go and make discipled learners of all nations.” Every saved soul is a blessing, but each accomplished Disciple is equipped to bring multitudes with him or her to heaven. Romans 1 and 2 answer our question about
the isolated, island person and it’s called the "three C's.”; I'll give the first C here and the other two in part two: God's “Creation" is apparent to every human, so lack of a Bible is no excuse. Romans 1 says we have "the light of creation." Just step outside to see a bird, a flea, or a bee; that is intelligent design—just as your car, watch, and phone are—which implies designer. The unfathomable complexity of the stars and planets testify that they did not happen by chance. All of creation drives us to know that there is a God. Romans 1 tells us that "God's invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen since the
creation of the world.” God can be seen and heard by observing
and hearing His creation. So, everyone is accountable—no
human in all of history has had an honest excuse! | image tagged in god,proof,jesus,christian,heaven,hell | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5nt3kq.jpg)
