How should someone who's been Saved by the Light of Christ feel about Hindus? [Spirituality & Religion]

Despite what some people might think, being Christian doesn't mean that we believe Muslims and Jews go to Hell. Their hearts are in the right place, they've just decided to take an unnecessary detour but most of them will arrive at the intended destination (Heaven) eventually. But what about the Hindus?

Islam, Christianity and Judaism are part of the same line of Abrahamic religions with certain differences.
On the other hand, Santana Dharma (Hinduism), Taoism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, etc. are a separate line of religions of which the ancient people probably had no idea of.

Are you referring to people of Islam, Christianity as ancient?
MasterofNone · 26-30, M
@ABCDEF7 Well I meant ancient Christians. Not that they were the only ancient ones around.
@MasterofNone Yes, let us do compare Islam with Christianity.

ISLAM BELIEFS:

God - Only one god – called Allah

Only one God – a triune being called God or Yahweh

Jesus - A prophet who was virgin-born, but NOT the Son of God or Savior of the world.

Crucifixion:

Jesus was NOT crucified. Someone was substituted for Jesus, and He hid until He could meet with the disciples. A FACT of history, that is necessary for the atonement of sin and the salvation of believers. BUT GUESS WHAT JESUS SAYS TO THAT. HE SAID, "WHOSOEVER DENIES ME BEFORE MEN, I SHALL DENY THEM, BEFORE MY FATHER IN HEAVEN." MATTHEW 10:33

Jesus’ Resurrection

Since Muslims do not believe in the Crucifixion, there is no need to believe in the Resurrection. A fact of history that signifies God’s victory over sin and death!

Islam on the Trinity:

A blasphemy signifying belief in three gods. [That statement is the biggest blasphemy of ALL, and against the Holy Spirit... The Unpardonable Sin!].

In Islam, the Trinity is mistakenly thought to be God, Jesus, and Mary. Our heavenly father said there are three that bear witness in heaven, God the Father, God the Son, who is Jesus, and the HOLY SPIRIT. God is no liar.

Sin: Sin is disobedience to the established law. Sin does not grieve Allah.

God help them. Sin is REBELLION against God. Sin GRIEVES God AND the Holy Spirit, because it keeps mankind eternally separated from God the Father, until a person invites Jesus into his or her life as their personal Savior, asking Jesus to forgive them, which He does, and they become a child of God, fit for heaven. Just try to drag your sins into heaven. You'll never make it past the gates of heaven, guaranteed by God.
.
Islam: Man - Man is created by Allah and is sinless.

That is a devil's lie. Will we really believe man, over Almighty God?!! Man is sinful by nature! He FELL into sin. God's Word says so.

Islam way of Salvation -

Salvation is achieved by submitting to the will of Allah.

Another devil's lie. Salvation is never, never based on man's performance. It is based on the work of Jesus Christ, when he died on the cross to atone for our sins with His SINLESS blood. It is HE, who did the "work of salvation".... not man and not religion.

Islam: There is no assurance of salvation.

Lie! NOT ONE MAN ON THIS EARTH CAN ASSURE HIS OWN SALVATION, BECAUSE HE CANNOT FORGIVE HIS OWN SINS THAT SEPARATE HIM, AND **KEEP HIM** SEPARATED FROM GOD, UNTIL HE REPENTS AND IS SAVED.

Islam: – Salvation is granted by Allah’s mercy alone.
FALSE:
Salvation is a FREE gift to you, by GRACE...(UN-EARNED favor from God) by faith in the atonement of Jesus Christ on the Cross, and again.... provided through God’s grace! Grace IS mercy.

Bible - Muslims accept the Bible (especially the Pentateuch, Psalms, and Gospels) insofar as it agrees with the Qur’an.

The Bible is NOTHING like the Quran. The inspired Word of God, by the HOLY SPIRIT, to HOLY MEN OF OLD, not just anyone, is complete.


Qur’an (Koran) - A later revelation that supersedes and corrects errors in the Bible. This actually makes me sick to my stomach.

Jesus REJECTS the Quran as His Holy Word, and is NOT accepted by God as divine revelation. In other words, God did not write, approve, nor inspire the quran. It contradicts everything in God's Word, and we don't need two books. That's why Father God only approves His own Word. He knows it is, pure, without sin, and approved by God the Father himself, and regarded as Holy by Him. No other book in the world.


Muhammad - (MERE MAN, FLAWED, AND WITH SIN, AS ALL MEN IN THIS WORLD) The last in the line of prophets and, therefore, the final authority in spiritual matters.

JESUS WARNED THIS WORLD ABOUT FALSE TEACHERS AND PROPHETS WHO "TICKLE YOUR EARS". IN OTHER WORDS, TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR, INSTEAD OF THE TRUTH, AND LEAD YOU TOTALLY ASTRAY. Muhammad is NOT accepted nor approved by Father God, as a prophet or legitimate theological source. Read your Bible.

Angels - These divine messengers, as described in God's Word, are created by God and are NOT to be worshipped! Satan is NOT an "angel of Light" but PURELY of darkness.

Angels are defined in the Bible as heavenly servants of God, who act as His messengers.

Last Days and Muslim's ideas of them:

There will be bodily resurrection and final judgment with final destination. All Muslims go to heaven, though some must be purged of their sins first.
*What an OXYMORON!!* THEIR OWN MAN-MADE RULES. ALL MUSLIMS GO TO HEAVEN, BUT ONLY THEM. NOT THE REST OF THE WORLD. Right! And if their people don't agree with this, or ANYONE, guess what. Their own Quran says to kill the INFIDELS who do not follow their laws. THEIR laws, not GOD'S. What a "loving and PEACEFUL religion" they are. 🤔 Jesus warned about false teachers, "Who come as "Wolves" in sheep's clothing! Jesus said not to fall for their deceitful lies. They will lead you astray, down a path, other than the straight and narrow path to Jesus and eternal life in heaven. Since when, did God the Father give mankind the permission to set the standard for salvation? He didn't!!

Yet, ALL infidels (ANYONE OTHER THAN MUSLIMS, THAT IS) are destined for hell. (🤦‍♀️ What a rude awakening they will have.)

If you don't want to miss heaven, then you must follow Jesus, the one who loves you like no other, and came SPECIFICALLY to save you from THE CURSE AND CONDEMNATION THAT SIN PUT ON YOU. Don't risk it. Do not gamble with your own soul. Eternity is, of course, forever, and you want to make sure you get there. God's perfect guidance tells us how, so no one will miss it. There will be bodily resurrection in the last days. Final judgment and eternal destination (heaven or hell) will be decided, based on acceptance of Jesus as Savior and His removal of the sin which separates each person from God. Jesus turns no one away.

There is a way that SEEMS right unto man, as he listens to his own limited, flawed reasoning, instead of God's, but Jesus tried to tell us for our own ETERNAL GOOD, the end thereof...a different spiritual path, brings both physical and spiritual death.
