Because Christianity is the only true religion in that God comes to the individual. A true Christian is not one who gets up in the morning and decides, "Ah, today I am a Christian". God chooses whom He saves through His Blood....Anyone who wants to escape hell, must do so through Jesus' Blood. There is absolutely NO OTHER-WAY. |

Hinduism is idolatry, but Christianity follows Christ. |

1st thing that came to my mind as I read your question is to inform you to start reading the Holy-Bible(common versions). As you read you will need other Christians to explain somethings to you for better/faster understanding. By regular reading of the Bible you'll get to know God who made the heaven & the earth and all that is in them. You will also get to know that God does NOT have MULTIPLE & DIFFERENT ways to please Him. HE has shown us the only way to please Him is through Christianity by Christ Jesus. The good KNOWLEDGE of GOD & CHRIST JESUS through the Holy-Bible will convince you & give you the complete answer to your question. Try. |

God is a Spirit (a Holy Spirit) and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. You see this, right?
What things does a man know? Is it not the spirit within him?
So, the things of God no man knows! But the Spirit of God!
Now we have received, not the spirit of a man. But, a spirit we believe is from God.
So we might know the things that are freely given to us by God.
The things we are saying are not in the words, which mans wisdom teaches!
But which a Holy Ghost teaches comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
Not that you might believe us!
But believe there is only one God!
One for all!
God Bless |

How being the highest animal, here-after will be called man!
My question how become, what can your spirit learn from man?
Can a man live his life without doing (in all eyes) wrong?
I go back to the man with the apples!
If he will not give or sell you any, what will you do?
If you steal its wrong and if you let the man die, is this not wrong too?
Seems to me the right thing would be, to steal some apple. For the man is dying!
Is not the life more than meat?
I did not say this, a man did!
This man said a lot of other thing too.
Right and wrong can not be measure by man.
But, by spirit! |

Please!
But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him, How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests? Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.
But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
Things are not as they seem! |

I wonder, in your religion, being I dont have a full grip.
But, it would seem to me, a man would have a better grip on good and evil then animals. I am not saying being good or evil, I am saying understanding. The Enlightenment!
Looking at this, now I ask! Who is the one being enlightened the animal or the spirit of the animal? I would think its the spirit! For it is the spiritual life you seek. Is this not right?
So now, is the spirit to be blamed for what the animal does? Or is the spirit to learn from the animal? Here to, I would think, the spirit is to be enlightened from the animal!
Is not man the highest animal? |

I dont mean to start out as a cynic, but this reminds me of a bunch of car salesmen trying to pitch Jesus.
The reason for Christianity is this:
- God who created the world (Genesis 1:1)
- God created laws (Ten Commandments Exodus 26)
- We broke the law (Romans 3:23)
- God is just so he must punish those who break the law
- God is loving, that he knew we could not pay the cost of our sins (death, Romans 6:23)
- God sent his Son to pay the price for us (John 3:16)
We're born with a conscience, and we know that we are not perfect. We know that we have done wrong. The Bible answers the questions about how we got here, why we are here, why and how the world was corrupted, and how it will be set right again. |

---Paul on 9/28/09 |
Hi Raj, Christianity centers around the GOD of all Creation. GOD is a UNIT of Three Holy Persons. Father YAHUVEH, Holy Spirit SHKHINYAH and the Son YAHUSHUA (JESUS). YAHUSHUA humbly came to Earth as a Flesh-and-Blood Man. He shed His Blood and died for sinful mankind who were separated from their Loving Creator. At Death, man goes to live either in Heaven with GOD, or in Hell (and the Lake of Fire) where the Devil will forever dwell. The choice must be made before Death. Believing in this GOD of Three Persons is alot more simplified than following the gazillions of gods of the Hindu religion. If a man dies in Salvation, he'll retain his human beauty. But, in Hell, he is stripped of everything beautiful and good and is tormented forever. |

Ram --What is it in this hunk of gray matter beween our shoulders that makes us WANT to believe in God? Even modern man who has enough scientific knowledge to explain away most fears or plan an escape from them, who confidently explores the unknown... wants to believe in God. WHY? We may not all believe the same, but why believe at all?
To me is seems significant that, despite different cultures, histories and geography, humans seem to have an almost innate desire to believe in God! Can YOU explain it? |

Hi and God bless you. I say God, because this God said, I am the only God.
I do love you, and I will respect what is yours! But, only if you speak truth!
Now you started with, we Hindus know why we have... I ask you is this not a lie?
If you knew why, would you yourself not have Enlightenment and moksha?
And you ended with Will You Not Get Fed-Up Of Living Infinitely
Is not the end of Hindu's life Moksha?
Understood as (liberation from rebirth), Self-realization, or union with God?
Understand you can not do this by yourself, why?
If a man has a thousand apples and you see someone starving.
What will you see as right? Yet, its wrong! |

why would humans with same brain come up with different gods?
*****
for the EXACT same reason a human mind can reason there is no God |
|
---Rhonda on 9/27/09 |
all of you guys are wrong. god is a human manifestation that has originated out of human fear, poverty, misery , inability to understand things. why would humans with same brain come up with different gods? These different manifestations of the human brain can be attributed to different cultural influences, geographical attributes, etc.
the human mind is so complex that it is hard imagine that you can have a single religion. religious tolerance and freedom of thought is what should be encouraged. |

Suneet, Being Christians is not Forced on any one.Everyone has free will,It is not a religion we are followers of Jesus Christ, "Christians".Here are some facts disputing some of your comments. Hinduism, each one is reincarnated, after death your are born again into Various life forms, not necessary humans. In the Bible it says and I believe, upon death of our bodies"absent from the body present with the Lord". Another fact, in India there are may villages where Christians homes are burned and our christians brothers and sisters are beaten by both Hindus and Muslims. |

---Donna66 on 9/22/09 |
The god's of the hindu, muslam. buddha muslam etc are Man-made, fashioned after man-made ideas & or materials. If these god's were alive, they Would & Will be subject under The Only True & Living God, Jesus Christ.
Religion is a foremat, Salvation is the result. God gave Only 1 Salvation Plan which Is according to Mark 16 v 16, Acts 2 v's 37-41 which Fulfills Matt 28 v's 19-20, Gal 1 v's 8-9. |

Raj -- I have some questions about Hinduism.
Is there ever an end to the lives one lives in reincarnation? Do you ever get a rest from living? What do you do to make this life better or the next one?
I don't know any Hindus so these are things I wonder about.
Nobody can "force" a person to be a Christian. Just going to a Christian church does not make you a Christian. Even in Christian countries, not everybody who goes to a Christian church is really a Christian. It is a decision you make freely in your heart. |
|
---Donna66 on 9/20/09 |
We Hindus know why we have luck & bad luck,misery & peaceful life and we still say"God Is Equal For ALL,Never Do Partiality".But how Christians will define this thing ,They don't have concept of reincarnation.Hinduism is the most tolerant religion on earth.Many ruled us, from Islam to Christianity and till date they are converting us forcibly to their own religion.BUT,There's not even a single example when a Hindu forced someone to do that.What is destiny & How It Was Decided? Hinduism has answer.How long soul lives in paradise?Infinite Years?Means After This World You'll Start Living In That World? Will You Not Get Fed-Up Of Living Infinitely and You aren't Dead Even After Your Death. |

---Suneet27 on 9/20/09 |
interesting question! First of all do not change your religion coloumn to Christian next time just because you find Christianity interesting. Jesus did not start any religion but those who followed Him were called Christians. So if you believe that He died for your sins on the cross and that He rose agian the third day, you can be His follower. |

---joby on 7/12/09 |
Raj, I'm not going to tell you to accept Christianity over Hinduism, but I do recommend that you accept the gift that the Creator gave to you in Yahushua (aka Jesus). In Yahushua we are taught how to love, how to live, how to forgive and how to be forgiven for all of our mistakes and bad decisions. When Yahushua died, He did so as a sacrifice so that we are forgiven. Due to our imperfections, there's no other way for us to abide with the perfect Creator without being cleared of our sins. This is why Yahushua said that He's the Way, Truth & Life, & that no one could come to the Father but through Him. Religious labeling, practices and traditions mean nothing without accepting this phenomenal gift of life and forgiveness in gratitude. |

There's Only One True & Living God.
All of the Man-made god's,Mohammed,
Buddha,Hindu,Islam,Muslam etc god's are dead.
If they were alive they would be subject Under the Only One True & Living God,Jesus Christ, & Jesus Christ offers just One Salvation Plan that's according to Acts 2 v's 37-41 which Fulfills Matt. 28 v's 19-20. |

The "wisdom" of men is foolishness compared to what Jesus knows! Try praying and reading scripture. Praying is simply--talking to God--Jesus they are one--with the Holy Spirit.
Read the Bible in a language you are familiar with and can understand. Find a body of believers. I will pray for you!!
Reasons Christianity is the awesome choice--God created the Earth
God planned to send his Son to die for three days and then rise again. This sacrifice atones for man's sins.
If we ask Jesus to forgive us, our sins are forgiven and we can live with him in heaven forever-he also shines light and love on our lives in the earth.
God is love. God takes away fear.
The angels in heaven rejoice over each sinner saved!!!! |

Raj
I want you to ask the lord my God for something.
This is important, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth
Now I want you to ask your Gods for something.
I believe the lord my God is calling you.
Now this is more important, do not tell anyone. What happen!
No one will believe you, this is between you and him, only! Believe me!
Unless he himself tells you too! This will be your proof!
Raj, my God, dose not play games, men do.
May God bless you.

I want you to try something for me. Pray for your forgiveness of sins and ask Jesus to come into your heart as your personal Lord and Savior. I am not saying that we should be ruled by feelings, but I want you to do this and see how it feels. If it feels right, continue following Christ without your other gods. If it feels wrong, you may go back to your religion and repent. If this scares you to do this, just talk to Jesus and see how it feels. |

The Lord God Almighty is the one who is going to judge you, not those Hindu (false) gods. God has the power to put you into hell for eternity, and He has the power to forgive you for your sins and keep you out of hell. Lord God Almighty will also judge your Hindu gods, for they are demons. All of creation is subject to the one and only God. There is only one God. There is only one Name under Heaven whereby we must be saved - the Name of Jesus Christ. |

Raj.....only in christianity did someone die that we may live.
Did any of the Hindu gods die for you so you could have everlasting life?
Raj....there is only one God and this God loves you so much that he sent his only son to die for you and me. That whosoever believes(put faith in) Him will have eternal life.
Raj...you and i are a "whosoever". |

Because Jesus is the ONLY way into Heaven. "No one goes to the Father but by me"
Because Jesus, not your hindu god, shed his blood for your sins, was crucified on a cross, and rose from the dead. Did your hindu god do that for you? He is a false god, Jesus is the real deal. The Lord God of Israel is the only true God in this universe.
Taste and see that the Lord God is good. Talk to Him. Ask Him questions. Tell Him you want to beleive in Him, but are afraid to or whatever the reason is.
Let everyone that has breath Praise the Lord God of Israel. |

---Carla3939 on 5/7/09 |
Verry simple, because jesus Christ is the only way too eternal heaven, and no other means was givven.
CHRIST teaches this in Joh 3.16
the main difference between following Christ and any other religion is that in Jesus it is accomplished, whilst in other religions one needs to figure it out for himself how to turn to eternal bliss.
no religious system is bad in itself, for all try to regularise society and even all try tioprotect the poor and desperate. nevertheless all religions give that same idea you cannot achieve it yourselgf. only Christ says come, i did it for you. |

TIM: "Your eternal destiny is hanging on your answer to this question."
Completely agree. Raj, the Christian faith deserves your honest consideration and careful examination. The Apostle Paul challenged his readers to test all things and hold on to what is good (1 Thes 5:21). I suggest you do the same. Christianity claims to be based on historical events, particularly the death and resurrection of Christ. If these claims are accurate, the implications are immense. It means, to state briefly, that Christianity isn't 'just another religion'. |

Hinduism is a very interesting belief system, with many positive values. Unfortunately, it lacks a key thing that Christians have, a personal relationship with God through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is not about choosing a religion, but developing a relationship with God through Christ. The best way to learn about Him is to read the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John in the New Testament of the Bible. |

Intellectual curiosity is hardly grounds for changing one's religion.
However you have no reason to fear your curiosity of Christianity for it is certain that you are no one else will ever accept Christianity without the wooing and calling of the Holy Spirit. One of the principal differences between all religions is the functioning of the Holy Spirit in Christianity. And while there are other spirits in the world there is only one Holy Spirit. So as a place to begin your study may I suggest you look at the person and reality of the Holy Spirit. |

---mima on 5/6/09 |
Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the only true pathway to salvation, the only road to eternal life, the Christ, the savior of the world. Every person will stand accountable and must answer the one most important question that Jesus asked, "Who do you say that I am"? Your eternal destiny is hanging on your answer to this question. |
