Hindu Christian Point Counter Point

Hinduism:1) Hindus believe in the divinity of the vedas, the world's most

ancient scripture, and venerate the Agamas as equally revealed. These

primordial hymns are God's word and the bedrock of Sanatana Dharma, the eternal

religion which has neither beginning nor end. 2) Hindus believe in a one,

all-pervasive supreme being who is both immanent and transcendent, both Creator

and Unmanifest Reality. 3) Hindus believe that the universe undergoes endless

cycles of creation, preservation and dissolution. 4) Hindus believe in karma,

the law of cause and effect by which each individual creates his own destiny by

his thoughts, words and deeds. 5) Hindus believe that the soul reincarnates,

evolving through many births until all karmas have been resolved, and moksha,

spiritual knowledge and liberation from the cycle of rebirth, is attained. Not

a single soul will be eternally deprived of this destiny. 6) Hindus believe

that divine beings exist in unseen worlds and that temple worship, rituals,

sacraments as well as personal devotionals create a communion with these devas

and Gods. 7) Hindus believe that a spiritually awakened master, or satguru, is

essential to know the Transcendent Absolute, as are personal discipline, good

conduct, purification, pilgrimage, self-inquiry and meditation. 8) Hindus

believe that all life is sacred, to be loved and revered, and therefore

practice ahimsa, "noninjury." 9) Hindus believe that no particular religion

teaches the only way to salvation above all others, but that all genuine

religious paths are facets of God's Pure Love and Light, deserving tolerance

and understanding.

Christianity:1) Christians believe that the bible is the uniquely inspired and

fully trustworthy word of God. It is the final authority for Christians in

matters of belief and practice, and though it was written long ago, it

continues to speak to believers today. 2) Christians believe in one god in

three persons. He is distinct from his creation, yet intimately involved with

it as its sustainer and redeemer. 3) Christians believe that the world was

created once by the divine will, was corrupted by sin, yet under GodÕs

providence moves toward final perfection. 4) Christians believe that, through

godÕs grace and favor, lost sinners are rescued from the guilt, power and

eternal consequences of their evil thoughts, words and deeds. 5) Christians

believe that it is appointed for human beings to die once and after that face

judgment. In AdamÕs sin, the human race was spiritually alienated from God, and

that those who are called by God and respond to his grace will have eternal

life. Those who persist in rebellion will be lost eternally. 6) Christians

believe that spirit beings inhabit the universe, some good and some evil, but

worship is due to God alone. 7) Christians believe that god has given us a

clear revelation of Himself in Jesus and the sacred Scriptures. He has

empowered by his Spirit prophets, apostles, evangelists, and pastors who are

teachers charged to guide us into faith and holiness in accordance with his

Word. 8) Christians believe that life is to be highly esteemed but that it must

be subordinated in the service of Biblical love and justice. 9) Christians

believe that jesus is god incarnate and, therefore, the only sure path to

salvation. Many religions may offer ethical and spiritual insights, but only

Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
