What do Hindu's Believe ?

Hinduism is one of the oldest known organized religions—its sacred writings date as far back as 1400 to 1500 B.C. It is also one of the most diverse and complex, having millions of gods. Hindus have a wide variety of core beliefs and exist in many different sects. Although it is the third largest religion in the world, Hinduism exists primarily in India and Nepal.

The main texts of Hinduism are the Vedas (considered most important), Upanishadas, the Mahabharata, and the Ramayana. These writings contain hymns, incantations, philosophies, rituals, poems, and stories from which Hindus base their beliefs. Other texts used in Hinduism include the Brahmanas, the Sutras, and the Aranyakas.

Though Hinduism is often understood as being polytheistic, supposedly recognizing as many as 330 million gods, it also has one “god” that is supreme—Brahma. Brahma is an entity believed to inhabit every portion of reality and existence throughout the entire universe. Brahma is both impersonal and unknowable and is often believed to exist in three separate forms: Brahma—Creator; Vishnu—Preserver; and Shiva—Destroyer. These “facets” of Brahma are also known through the many other incarnations of each. It is difficult to summarize Hindu theology since the various Hindu schools contain elements of almost every theological system. Hinduism can be:

1) Monistic—Only one thing exists; Sankara’s school

2) Pantheistic—Only one divine thing exists so that God is identical to the world; Brahmanism

3) Panentheistic—The world is part of God; Ramanuja’s School

4) Theistic—Only one God, distinct from Creation; Bhakti Hinduism.

Observing other schools, Hinduism can also be atheistic, deistic, or even nihilistic. With such diversity included under the title “Hindu,” one may wonder what makes them “Hindu” in the first place? About the only real issue is whether or not a belief system recognizes the Vedas as sacred. If it does, then it is Hindu. If not, then it is not Hindu.

The Vedas are more than theology books. They contain a rich and colorful “theo-mythology,” that is, a religious mythology which deliberately interweaves myth, theology, and history to achieve a story-form religious root. This “theo-mythology” is so deeply rooted in India’s history and culture that to reject the Vedas is viewed as opposing India. Therefore, a belief system is rejected by Hinduism if it does not embrace Indian culture to some extent. If the system accepts Indian culture and its theo-mythical history, then it can be embraced as “Hindu” even if its theology is theistic, nihilistic, or atheistic. This openness to contradiction can be a headache for Westerners who seek logical consistency and rational defensibility in their religious views. But, to be fair, Christians are no more logical when they claim belief in Yahweh yet live life as practical atheists, denying Christ with their lives. For the Hindu the conflict is genuine logical contradiction. For the Christian, the conflict is more likely simple hypocrisy.

Hinduism views mankind as divine. Because Brahma is everything, Hinduism asserts that everyone is divine. Atman, or self, is one with Brahman. All of reality outside of Brahman is considered mere illusion. The spiritual goal of a Hindu is to become one with Brahma, thus ceasing to exist in its illusory form of “individual self.” This freedom is referred to as “moksha.” Until moksha is achieved, a Hindu believes that he/she will be repeatedly reincarnated in order that he/she may work towards self-realization of the truth (the truth being that only Brahman exists, nothing else). How a person is reincarnated is determined by karma, which is a principle of cause and effect governed by nature’s balance. What one did in the past affects and corresponds with what happens in the future, past and future lives included.

Although this is just a brief synopsis, it is readily seen that Hinduism is in opposition to biblical Christianity on almost every count of its belief system. Christianity has one God who is both personal and knowable (Deuteronomy 6:5; 1 Corinthians 8:6); has one set of Scriptures; teaches that God created the earth and all who live upon it (Genesis 1:1; Hebrews 11:3); believes that man is created in God’s image and lives only once (Genesis 1:27; Hebrews 9:27-28); and teaches that salvation is through Jesus Christ alone (John 3:16; 6:44; 14:6; Acts 4:12). Hinduism as a religious system fails because it fails to recognize Jesus as the uniquely incarnated God-Man and Savior, the one solely sufficient source of salvation for humanity.got?

hope this helps !!!
 
Well this is quite interesting. I've never actually taken the time to look into what Hindus believe. Growing up I heard little bits and pieces. And I think there was some Hindu cult that had a farm in Oregon Called Rajneeshpuram till the police shut them down. Found it.

 
The main texts of Hinduism are the Vedas (considered most important), Upanishadas, the Mahabharata, and the Ramayana.
the vedas and texts mentioned are much older than hinduism which merely appropriated them... and so.. those vedic texts are claimed as Hinduism's but are not.

the problem is that in vedas the satanic realm admitted its crimes against God.

Hinduism was a later a contrived confused version created to hide these crimes. It all transpires in the other reality.

In the vedas adam and eve are referred to as yami and yama. In mahabharata eve is referred to as pritha. See fpress chapter. thoth is referred to in vedas as agni and in sumerian texts as marduk, who made tiamat (=eden) fall.
 
The ramayana describes how the evil realm conquered eden as well.

All these texts are mistranslated.
 
The same torture of the souls in eden is described in the vedic texts and in hieroglyphs and is the subject of Daniel's oven chapter in the OT. Which is how we came to be on this earth because of adam after eden fell.
 
I know about this because of translations of many of these texts as well as hieroglyphs and OT prophets (with cross reading) as part of my project with a brilliant european researcher.

yes it is sad @TedT , sad that the satanic realm made eden to fall and that they gleefully recount it in their own texts.

what's good is that we understand what they did and that God will never forgive them.

all of them are just the evil satanic realm entities of mystery-babylon..
going under different names, be it sumerian, egyptian, greek, etc.
The bible doesn't talk about it much, but one would do well to consider what Romans 7 says about sin.

Sometimes, it is not a demon at all.
 
i was talking about entities, not souls.
Paul said "it is no longer I who sin but the sin within me."

Thus making a ground breaking association that sin and the creation are separate.

We don't think the same way, I don't expect you to get it, most people don't.

But I deal with all sorts of entities, knowing which type saves time and energy.

the carnal mind, flesh mind (=the natural mind) is an entity... and is not the soul.
