![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)
![HOW DOES HINDUISM COMPARE TO CHRISTIANITY? [3 OF 3]
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 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. "The term
used to describe freedom [moksha] from the cycle of birth and
death, is 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 life after life to work off what we did in past lives (karma), until somehow we achieve a breakthrough that supposedly comes from using all the Hindu techniques designed to get us connected with the Hindu deities, which are spirits (demons). | image tagged in reincarnation,karma,hindu,yoga,meditation,salvation | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/435zqd.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)
![WHERE DO THOUGHTS OF SUICIDE OFTEN COME FROM?
[1 of 2] Demons work with Satan and the Bible’s John 8 tells us the devil is the father of all lies, as well as murder. So, it's not a surprise at all that a non-Christian, who gets possessed by a demon, would have that foul spirit try to kill its host. When I was involved with the occult, I was not just demonically oppressed, but most likely multiply-possessed (from asking these entities to come inside me in hopes of receiving power). So, they obliged; setting up shop and commencing to drive me insane as their way of killing me. The goal of Satan and his demons is to trick each of us into staying away from Jesus, (which is the only way for us to get to heaven), as long as needed for us to take our last breath and end up in hell. And by the way, the types of distractions they throw at us can include getting involved in the occult. Anything is fine with them just as long as you don't go down that Jesus route; as long as you don't turn to Jesus on the cross, trusting in His work alone and asking Him to forgive your sins. Why do you think the ecumenical movement (the push for a one world religion) allows all beliefs except the biblical reality
of confessing that Jesus is the ONLY way? | image tagged in satan,demons,god,suicide,salvation,devil | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/48mey8.jpg)
