In the past couple weeks I have learned much about Hinduism. I am going to explain the differences between this religion and Christianity. First I will start off by trying to explain Hinduism. The definition of Hinduism is pretty much non-existent. In matter of fact it is not so much a religion. It is more of a religion-social system. Although Hinduism is very confusing (especially to me!!). I do understand casts are extremely important to the religion. Since the beginning of the idea of Hinduism ancient religion-social laws were created and were indestructible. Hindu's tried to build a wall of law around the faith so that none could stray from it. The main part of the wall was naturally the caste distinctions, and these therefore received the most careful attention of the lawmakers. The superiority of the Brahmans and the inferiority of the laborer were declared to be ordered in heaven according to divine plans for the prosperity of the world. The cast system was with a m!an like his breath, was with him instantly from birth to death. Indeed, unlike his breath, it was suppose to follow him into the grave. These laws that regulate the caste are saved for there is no other
oples lives. Even though a Christian and Hindu would not be worshiping together, both are still very unique and various. he reborn, true Christian consisted not in the acknowledgement of formal orthodox in the church, but rather in the spiritual rebirth of a person according to the image of Christ. This mystical theology developed in accordance with a personal experience of Christ as the proper essence of Christianity. But in comparison to Hinduism, because of the vast number of reincarnations of any given individual, Hinduism recognizes that most people's lack of spiritual development means they must lead normal lives. However, it is thought that as a person matured he can grow closer to the ideal of full renunciation of the personality. Yet no mater what stage of life one is in, "renouncing the fruits of your labors" is the supreme law of morality. Hindus seek to remain conscious of the illusory Nature of this world and so progressively deny themselves, at least in thought, all forms of material, emotional, and even spiritual rewards and property. Hindu's through incorporating some Christian i! eligion is a matter of personal realization, every religion is true and a path to truth. If the adherents of Christianity sincerely follow it, the Hindu's attitude toward it, notwithstanding what he believes to be intolerant disposition of the followers of Christianity, which is regretted by the Hindu's continues to be one of respect and understanding of tolerance and even sympathy. The Hindu is ready to accept the ethical teachings of the Gospels, particularly the Sermon on the Mount but still rejects the theological superstructure. Many adherents of bhakti movements, the Christian influence on which has been grossly exaggerated, feel that the Christian conceptions are regard as a kind of bhakti. And that Christians do not realize in God the multiplicity of human relation
