![HOW DOES HINDUISM COMPARE TO CHRISTIANITY? [1 OF 3] All faiths except biblical Christianity are works-based because people want to FEEL more spiritual by doing anything religious. So religions like Hinduism take advantage of that mindset by having their followers perform rituals to supposedly 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 holding follower's escape from “Karma" over their heads. Karma is the endless loop of us supposedly living one life after another (their false teaching of reincarnation). And that same works-based dynamic is taught across the planet through world religions and cults. Outside Bible Christianity, the other faiths hold the afterlife over devotees' heads to push them toward the organization's goals. Around 600 B.C. the Hindu people revolted against the priests’ control, changing Hinduism to a more individual-focused faith with personal meditation, pursuing an altered state of consciousness to connect with the Hindu gods (demons), as a means to supposedly escape reincarnation. Some still want a guru to tell them how to be most religious. Meditation was NOT invented as a way to reduce stress. That's lie created to suck the uniformed into Hinduism and New Age. | image tagged in hindu,christian,god,reincarnation,bible,karma | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/411joe.jpg)
![HOW DOES HINDUISM COMPARE TO CHRISTIANITY? [2 OF 3] Contrary the Hindu works-based beliefs we saw in part one, Christians have the truth that there is only one Mediator between man and God, which is Jesus Christ. We can go straight Him without rituals because all the work has already been done FOR us by Christ. In Hebrews, John says Christians have the freedom to go with boldness directly to God, always
finding Grace and help from Him in our time of need. Isn't that mind blowing!? To me those words feel like they are coming off the pages. John is amazed at the thought that we Christians are actually CHILDREN of GOD. Can you believe that—after all the bad things we've done?! Romans 5 talks about how, as ungodly sinners (before getting saved), we hated God. And God certainly didn't need us. But He still chose to die for us so that we can become what we are today: His actual children, Christians. And it's all free. There's no priest to go through and no techniques to perform because it's all been taken care of. It's done! | image tagged in jesus,bible,hindu,god,salvation,christian | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/411ltr.jpg)

Even with the huge differences we saw in Christianity verses Hinduism (just like all the other works-based faiths), we often hear this sort of unresearched statement: “All religions mostly teach the same stuff." No! That's a lie! Christianity is absolutely unique and is the only way. But still to this day, in his depravity, Satan has invented; a myriad of false paths to 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's was a loser when Jesus beat him on the cross. But Satan has teamed up with humans (who seek power and money), to deceive people all the way into an eternity in hell. The alternative is to accept the free gift of salvation given to us by Jesus' work on the cross. By just accepting that, we'll spend eternity as a child of the One Supreme Being, the almighty and eternal God. | image tagged in hinduism,christian,god,salvation,jesus,bible | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/411nqm.jpg)
![WHAT ARE THE ORIGINS OF THE “WORD OF FAITH” MOVEMENT? [2 of 3]; One founder was William Seymour who created the Azusa Street Mission in 1906. Those present at the time described absolute chaos with all in attendance wanting to preach, and most everyone did. Nobody stopped to ask for a testimony to even see if the speakers were saved. Even some local witches and sorcerers preached. Seymour realized who they were and stopped them from preaching but they continued to attend and practice their weird worship during the service. Also weird for a Church service, were reports of kissing between unmarried persons. Again, everyone preached, except Seymour, who just sat with his head in a crate and from time to time shouted, "Repent!” | image tagged in bible,god,jesus,christian,church,pray | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/436tu0.jpg)
![WHAT ARE THE ORIGINS OF THE “WORD OF FAITH” MOVEMENT? [3 of 3]
Seymour had no biblical education because his teacher, Parham, had little, just as Parham's teachers, Dowie and Sandford, had little to none. Besides them, the New Thought founder and root of the Word of Faith movement, Phineas Qimby had none, which meant his trainees, Mary Baker Eddy (Christian Science founder) and Warren Felt Evans, were also lacking biblical training. On top of that and going forward, Aimee Semple McPherson, who most all Pentecostal and Word of Faith denominations come from, also lacked a biblical education. When you trace the history of the Word of Faith movement, here's the result of all those people: WOF was basically founded by biblically-UNTRAINED leaders who were not in the Bible and instead learned from PAGANS AND CULTS. Still, even with that non-biblical foundation, today they not only claim to be spiritual, but even more spiritual than other Christians, who they say are missing out on their teachings. Besides the false teachings, in this way they create still more division in the Church. Why do they do so? It's because they’re pushing false teachings that most don’t realize are actually just repackaged Hinduism. With only a name change to "Word of Faith teachers," our Church today has carbon copies of Hindu leaders; what I believe are modern-day Hindu gurus. | image tagged in pagan,cult,bible,god,jesus,christian | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/436vq8.jpg)
![IS "WORD OF FAITH," JUST HINDUISM?
[4 of 4] Here are a few examples of what Word of Faith preachers are saying that is just Hinduism and 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 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 Word of Faith preachers, there is another group of religious leaders who also live a lavish lifestyle, while teaching those who sent them all that money, that they too can become wealthy if they'd only practice the right force of faith with their words. That is exactly what Hindu
gurus claim, as well as how they also live. | image tagged in god,bible,hindu,faith,christian,fraud | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/43bo3y.jpg)
![Should we judge others? Of course; just as we judge when to cross a busy road. In fact, Jesus ORDERS us to judge. Read Matthew 7, John 7, and especially 1 Corinthians 6. Today’s secular society, along with some in the Church, use “Relativism” (all truth is relative so no one’s truth is absolute), or as it called today: “Tolerance." The NEW definition of tolerance says we need to praise and celebrate everyone's beliefs and lifestyles. This effectively stops us from judging anyone for anything. Advocates site Matthew 7:1: “Judge not, that you be not judged.” Yet, taken alone, this is out of context. We need to read on in Matthew 7. The full text tells us to get rid of our hypocrisy first and then help out our brother who is wrong: “...then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brothers eye.” So saying we should not judge is completely twisting Scripture. And Jesus clearly orders us to judge in John 7: “Stop judging by mere appearances and MAKE A RIGHT JUDGMENT.” [Emphasis added.] He clearly tells us to make a judgment. But when we do so, we are to do it right; don't be a hypocrite about it. The Bible's definition of tolerance is this: “Love the sinner but hate the sin.” And 1 Corinthians 6 is the nail in the coffin for relativism with its new definition of tolerance, which tells us not judge anyone for anything. The Apostle Paul said this: "If any of you has a dispute with another, do not take it before the ungodly for JUDGEMENT; instead of before the Lord's people. Do you not know that the saints will JUDGE the world and if you are to JUDGE the world, are you not competent to JUDGE trivial cases? Do you not know that we will JUDGE the angels? How much more, things of this life? Therefore if you have disputes about such matters, appoint as JUDGES even men of little account.” [Emphasis added.] Even in secular society we have laws, courts, law enforcement, settlements, jail, and prison. For someone to tell you we should not judge anything or
anyone is as ridiculous as you've probably thought it is. | image tagged in god,bible,jesus,judge,christian,salvation | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/48irw8.jpg)
