Download or read book Hinduism and the Man on the Cross written by Norman Law and published by . This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reason for writing this book is because of God's irrefutable love for the people of India through His only Begotten son, Jesus Christ. This book explores the records of archeology, history of migration, language, and religion of Hinduism, and the findings are astonishing in that it is not what we normally expect. The author described the character and attributes of the six major Hindu deities: Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Indra, Krishna, and Rama as written in the ancient sacred Vedic Hindu texts: Rig Veda, Samaveda, Yajur (Black and White) Vedas, Atharva Veda, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, Ramayana, Mahabharata, and the Puranas, and they are definitely not as common beliefs or rumors passed down from generation to generation. A comparison is made with the character and attributes of God as described in the Christian Bible. Similarly, the author explores the origin of Hinduism's major doctrines: Krishna's claims, the Samsara cycle, Trimurti, avatars, dharma, self-realizations, renunciation of and freedom from attachments, yogic meditation, demonic possession, and minor doctrines like worship, idol worship, sin, death incarnation, castes, hell, curses, women, astrology, etc. as found in the ancient sacred Vedic texts as mentioned above and compared them with the theology, doctrines, and practices as found in the Christian Bible.

Download or read book Jesus Among Other Gods written by Ravi Zacharias and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2002-02-06 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world with so many religions, why Jesus? We are living in a time when you can believe anything, as long as you do not claim it to be true. In the name of “tolerance,” our postmodern culture embraces everything from Eastern mysticism to New Age spirituality. But as Ravi Zacharias points out, such unquestioning acceptance of all things spiritual is absurd. All religions, plainly and simply, cannot be true. Jesus Among Other Gods provides the answers to the most fundamental claims about Christianity, such as: Aren’t all religions fundamentally the same? Was Jesus who He claimed to be? Can one study the life of Christ and demonstrate conclusively that He was and is the way, the truth, and the life? In each chapter, Zacharias considers a unique claim that Jesus made and then contrasts the truth of Jesus with the founders of Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism with compelling insight and passionate conviction. In addition to an impressive breadth of reading and study, he shares his personal journey from despair and meaninglessness to his discovery that Jesus is who He said He is. “In Jesus Among Other Gods, Ravi Zacharias demonstrates that he is one of the most intellectually gifted as well as spiritually sensitive writers of today’s leading apologists for the Christian faith. Zacharias brings alive the unique power of the claims of Jesus about himself and the utter relevance of his message today for the human condition.” — David Aikman, author of Great Souls

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is There Hope in the Chaos? Our civilisation is unstable. Everyone can feel it. We face a looming mental health crisis.

But maybe there is hope—if we know where to look.

Could rediscovering Jesus be the answer to our crisis?

Download or read book Cold Case Christianity written by J. Warner Wallace and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.

Download or read book JESUS YEARS IN INDIA written by M. Payoly and published by tredition. This book was released on 2018-08-20 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JESUS CHRIST, the founder of the New Faith called Christianity, is well known on all continents and respected by the followers of various religions. He was born in Palestine and spent His childhood there until the age of 12. There is no explanation in the Bible about where He was and what He did between the ages of 12 and 29. The Roman Church was aware of it, but has deliberately kept it a secret. He appears unexpectedly before the common people in Palestine one day as a preacher telling them about truth, principles and the purpose of life on earth in a manner they had not heard before. India was then the country of spirituality. Historical evidences say that Jesus arrived in India when He was fourteen years old. He visited and studied in the famous Hindu Temple of Jagannath in Puri, Orissa. Jesus also visited Benares and other Hindu holy places. He was compelled to leave Puri because He protested against the caste system and animal slaughter existing in the Hindu society. Later, He visited and studied in Buddhist monasteries in India, Nepal and Tibet. He became a master in Hindu scriptures and Yoga. He preached His New Faith to the common people and was famous in those countries. He was a wanderer. When He was 29 years old, He returned to Palestine to fulfill His mission. The Church had known about His life in India and His new doctrine containing many parables that are popular in Hinduism and Buddhism. But no mention was made of them in the Bible. Why? Historical evidences indicate that Jesus did not die on the cross and escaped to Kashmir, India, where also He preached His New Faith as a respected holy man. He grew old and died in Kashmir. This book contains detailed information about how Jesus was saved from the cross and escaped to Kashmir and where the tombs of Mother Mary and Jesus can be found. Historical evidences are given in this book, based on the works of erudite scholars like N. Notovitch, K. N. Ahamad, M. A. Faruqui and Prof. F. Hassnain.

Download or read book Christ and the Hindu Diaspora written by Paul Pathickal and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2012-08-06 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CAN THE HINDUS IN INDIA BE REACHED THROUGH DIASPORA HINDUS? The Hindu Diaspora, numbering about 50 million, is scattered from Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Fiji in the east to Guyana, Surinam, the United States and Canada in the west. Hindus numbering about 850 million live in India. However, militant organizations make mission work impossible there and one way to reach them is through their clan and caste fellows in the Diaspora. In Christ and the Hindu Diaspora, author Paul Pathickal discusses the process of Hindu migration, the salient features of Diaspora Hinduism and ways to witness to Diaspora Hindus. By reaching Diaspora Hindus, the author believes their caste and clan fellows in India can be reached for Christ. Diaspora Hinduism is different from Hinduism in India. The old pantheistic thought cannot survive in the new lands. The new generation of young educated Hindus cannot accept the Karma doctrine and caste divisions. Secular humanism cannot fulfill the age old yearning of the Hindu for truth and value. Only the religion established by Jesus Christ, the true avatar, who came down from heaven not to annihilate a few wicked men, but to save mankind from their sins, will be able to satisfy the inner yearning of the Hindu for truth and meaning in life.

Download or read book The Shadow of the Cross written by Sisir Kumar Das and published by New Delhi : Munshiram Manoharlal Publishers. This book was released on 1974 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description: The challenge of Christianity played a very significant role in the resurgence of Bengal in the nineteenth century. The Hindu intellectuals had to reinterpret his theological position to meet this new challenge which also made him aware of his own religious heritage. It thus helped the growth of a religious nationalism which culminated into a political nationalism towards the close of that century. The nature of this confrontation between Christianity and Hinduism is the subject of this book. Christianity appeared in Bengal as a western religion-the religion of her new ruler, and it posed a threat to the very way of life of a Bengali Hindu. The religious movements which grew out of its challenge did not remain confined to theological debates only, but had a wider area of operation and were associated with all other social movements which constituted and regulated the currents of the so called Bengal Renaissance. This book traces the history of the Hindu response to Christianity in its various stages and describes the nature of Hindu religious movements which reflect the complexities and confusions, the aspirations and failures of the Bengali mind in search of a new ethics and a new set of values. The book thus provides a general model of the study of religious confrontation in a colonial situation.
