you are not being attacked , it is simply that you are not hearing what many here are saying , and now you are implying that some people here have an attatchment to christianity ?
worship christ if you want, no one has a problem with that, just don't call christ a part of hinduism.
who is calling christ a part of hinduism ???
regarding some issues which have come up who is a real hindu?
someone who practises real hinduism. what is real hinduism? hinduism as it was practised before the invasion of other religions. Therefore christ does not fit it.
it can be practised by anyone, of any skin colour, any gender, from any place, but it's necessary to keep it pure.
yes I raised the what is hinduism with you and I agree that christ does not come under the umbrella of hinduism , the question here was that of conversion .
why does the issue of real hinduism come up?
because some with an emotional attachment to christianity are refusing to even consider the possibility that there is an ongoing mission to christianise india. They won't even consider it, as is evident in this thread.
christians have an on going mission to christianise the entire world , hinduism is just one religion or people who are being targeted at this present moment .
the real question is that we as hindus , .....(allthough I dont usualy use that term but in the interest of solidarity , which this post is about I will addopt it for the sake of arguement ,)....should be focusing on strengthening our practice and supporting our own people so that conversion is less attractive an option .
however that does not mean that we canot accept christianity as valid for christians ,
why is it important to keep hinduism pure/ without christ(in this case)?
because hindus need to maintain the (structural) integrity of their religion. If they accept christ, they won't necessarily look at conversion as harmful.
no structural integrity = no solidarity.
there are only 3 in hinduism = brahma, vishnu and shiva. not four or more.
don't compromise on your fundamentals.
as far as I am concerned practice sanatana dharma , call it hinduism if you like but one has to practice the principles , .... this is the problem , many people currently residing in the hindu nation are not practicing sanatana dharma , they are not much more than culturaly hindu . this includes a vast majority of the ruling elite who practice attatchment to name , fame , power and gain . these people are not true hindus this is why they are neglecting their people and leving them to fall prey to conversion .
worship christ if you want, no one has a problem with that, just don't call christ a part of hinduism.
who here is calling christ a part of hinduism ?
I certainly am not ,.... but that does not mean that I need to denigrate christians or christianity , there are as many good christians as there are good hindus , there is no reason that we canot respect oneanother .
