Parallels in Hinduism

I will start with the disclaimer that I am not a Hindu.

When my kids are missing something, I tell them to look for it. When they return empty handed I tell them, “Now look in the places it shouldn’t be.” That’s usually where it is. Jesus told us to seek and we will find. He didn’t say keep looking through Scripture until you do. On my quest for truth, I have found many missing puzzle pieces in places that were unexpected.

When one believes that he is right, the assumption that all who disagree are wrong. We then stop listening, focussing our minds on rebuttal, opposed to understanding their view. God said, “He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.” I find it interesting that this is the key principle of the Hindu triune godhead. Brahman is their god, complete in three personas; Brahma (the creator), Vishnu (the sustainer) and Shiva (the destroyer). Essentially the beginning and the end. Shiva makes an appearance in Revelation 9:11 (I just realized it was 9/11), Abaddon, in Greek Apollyon, the Destroyer, the angel of the bottomless pit. This is no surprise why Shiva, is the face of CERN, the large hadron collider. These scientists are practicing functional witchcraft and reportedly opening dimensions.

My point is that words are audible/legible thoughts. We write things down as a more permanent record. Those who wrote things down thousands of years ago were trying to tell us something. We often ignore the message because of the expression or the messenger. It doesn’t mean those who saw something significant enough to write them down, should be dismissed based on collective belief.

When a scared child says something is outside their window, you don’t say, “No, there’s not.” You examine and solve the mystery. Civilizations have left us clues, or puzzle pieces so that we can hopefully gather and form an image. This isn’t universalism. I’m not saying that the boogeyman, and the tree outside the window are equally true. I’m stating that people have been intelligent and forming beliefs based on observations for a long time. It is in our best interest to evaluate what the thoughts were that seeded these belief systems to give us a greater understanding of our world and our future.

There is no future except hell for those who make or follow man-made doctrines. "They worship Me in vain, their doctrine is merely human rules." "The word of God equips man with everything that is needed." Therefore I disagree with you, we need not to look to mankind but to God's word for understanding and salvation. Whatever usful enlightenment you think you found outside the bible is in the bible, you just didn't find it there yet.

Hinduism does not contain the truth....it has thousands of gods, peddles reincarnation and this thread should not be allowed on a site about the BIBLE.....

FAITH comes by hearing and hearing by the WORD OF GOD....not some VEDA or BOOK by HINDU's........

I think you missed the point. Since God is everywhere and everlasting, do you suppose others until now have not caught a glimpse of Him?

I want to add as well: The OP is in ERROR claiming the hindus have a TRINITY. they DO NOT. its a UNIQUE christian Godhead.

They have TRITHEISM, it is DIFFERENT from trinity. Trinity is one GOD.
Triheism is THREE gods.

Lets get that out of the way

Again point missed! I’m not saying that people should convert to Hinduism, nor accept Vedas or reincarnation. I’m saying basically, if we are the salt of the earth, then we need to get out of the salt shaker. What is the point of Christians debating Christians. We spend our time here either patting eachother on the back or calling out heresy to views we disagree with. Most of us don’t have the slightest idea what other cultures believe. We only have been told they are wrong. My point is, why do they think they are right? What is so clear to them that eludes us. What’s in their koolaid? Reason being; they are saying the same things about us. I’m not saying yoga brings salvation, but I’m interested to know why they think it brings them to Nirvana. Their goal is to be one day achieve oneness with Brahman, the god of gods. Is it not interesting, that is essentially what we achieve, becoming the body of Christ? We are One with our Creator. Would that not be a helpful connection when witnessing to a Hindu?

You are in error. They believe their three are manifestations of the one, just as we do. Look it up, whatever you call it.

I know what your trying to say or at least I think I do. There are many similarities in many beliefs, tradition,and cultures.
Are we to embrace these things as a broad stroke of God's understanding?....God forbid.
Scripture tells us there is a way that seems right but the ends of it is destruction. During Moses time the magicians of pharaoh duplicate what Moses was told to do by God . But when it came to life or death they were powerless.
Abraham made and sold idols in his father's shop. He was pagan untill the true and living God showed him there is only one God.
Offering up Isaac was a common ritual in that day. But it was to be not so for the true and living God. God will provide the sacrifice.
We have a foundation that our faith is established on. Christ is the cheif corner Stone of it. Without him it will crumble.
Man has a moral intellect of right and wrong that God has placed in his very being. That moral compass can become polluted with thoughts and ideas that we will be as gods.
My friend stay on the narrow road which is truth.....no man comes to the father except through me...(Jesus).

We (that would be the Christians) dont believe in three manifestations. I got no idea what you believe, sounds like ONeness pentecostal stuff. Modalism?

Ok, what do we Christians believe?

Most of the responses to the OP are sad reflections of closed-mindedness, self-righteousness, fear mongering, and generally missing the point.

This is a Bible Discussion forum. Why do we automatically assume that anyone who presents an unfamiliar idea is promoting error? Are we all-knowing? Are we incapable of listening, assuming the best of people, and thinking before speaking (writing)?

I’m not following. It looked like you started with a steady round of backhanders followed up with defending me. I’m not really sure how to interpret this.
