Lets get 1 Kings 18 back into action. I would suggest we call the great sages of Hinduism, Buddhist, Muslims, Sikhs, the various Christian denomination Pastors and our Pope to get together in a closed door Olympic Stadium and start the competition. every religion/sect must be given one day to prove themselves. whoever prays and fire comes from the above , wins once and for all. Until then , lets not argue about Someone who does not even care to feed his starving children. God is a good Creator , but not a good Manager.

Hinduism and Bible, no matter how big their differences is, we just have to remember that God is too big to be fitted in just one name and one religion.. Doing good to others and to yourself is still the key and the most important thing in this world, doesn't matter what your religion is. This is so nice, so glad I found this post.

Jesus died and was raised again by His Father. Vinayak died and was raised again by His Father (Shiva) i too agree with this concept of trinity in hinduism.

In bible, Jesus was born to a virgin by the holy spirit (power or shakthi ). here there is no involvement of Father. In the same way, parmeswari gave birth to vinayak by her power. here there is no involvement of parmeswar. that s true.

Interesting that Hinduism has a trinity too. <i>we have a saviour who will come TOO. </i> Didn't know that. Tell more please.

Avatars are incarnations of Brahma, the creator siva, the destroyer and visnu the preserver (the three parts of the universal soul, supreme being AKA GOD). What are incarnations? incarnations are pretty much sent down when humanity needs them. Ever heard of the concept of angels? now tell me do angels make christianity or islam polytheistic??? Further-more, since these avatars are incarnations of the three, we can worship them because they are essentially god coming down in a human form. THEY DIE! They are mortal. human. but special. AKA JESUS. you get me? we have a saviour who will come TOO. Our religion actually dates back as far as 10 000 BC. There is an ancient bridge, the one Rama built when he came to earth that was found exactly where our scriptures said it would be. what was it naamed though? Adam's bridge. Hindus are also Tolerant. We don't kill ppl for not believing in Our God. because we believe there is no Our God. There is ONE God. and Everyone worships that God in different ways. That is why if we choose to worship God through an avatar, we CAN. Hindu's have no problem doing namaz or praying in a church if they feel like it. Our religion is a philosophy a history and a way of life. Sanskrit, the language of the scripture, is a language that has remained ever constant. We have a soul inside of us. A soul, a part of God. That is why we say "namaste" it means literally "I greet the soul, the piece of God in you" Our body houses this soul so it should be respected obviously, but the body is shed, and the soul joins with God again. Every living thing has a soul. and the number of souls never changes. think about it. if we have to eat animals or plants / cut down trees/plants to live, the more life, the more we get rid of them. The number of souls stays constant. Balance. Hindu philosophy is profound and deep and encourages deep profound thinking and philosopher. Hinduism encourages you to practice Dharma and karma. This means that you can not blindly follow a set of laws. You must THINK about your actions, their consequences, and what your duty is in the situation. and the aryan invasion theory is probably false. I agree.

Did the trimurti cease to exist? Have Brahma, Siva and Vishnu ceased to exist? I was under the impression that god(s) have existed forever and will exist forever!
