Christianity and Hinduism

The Gospels say that Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary, who conceived him through the power of the Holy Spirit. He was born in Bethlehem and brought up by Mary and her husband Joseph, a carpenter of Nazareth. When Jesus was about 30 years old, his ministry began with his baptism by John the Baptist in the Jordan River. After this he went into the desert to fast and prepare himself spiritually for the work ahead. After 40 days in the wilderness, he was tempted by the devil but resisted. His ministry lasted only three years, but in that time he became a charismatic teacher and healer, impressing people with his goodness, gentleness, and strength. Jesus was tolerant of peoples failings and slow to condemn. (Barnes 112)

Christianity is a monotheistic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth as presented in the New Testament writings of his early followers. It is the world's largest religion with an estimated 2.1 billion adherents or about one-third of the total world population. It shares with Judaism the Hebrew Scriptures (called the Old Testament by Christians), and is sometimes called an Abrahamic religion, along with Judaism and Islam.

Throughout studying the Hindu religion I realized how complex the practices and culture of the faith really are. Hinduism is the only religion I have learned about outside of christianity making the study of it much more interesting. Comparing and contrasting my faith with another produced many deep thoughts and questions about what religion really is. How do we know if our religion is more right than theirs or vice versa? There are many similarities and differences between Hinduism and Christianity whether it is the culture they predominantly are a part of, the way they perceive God, or the intricate details of each religion.

Christianity is centered on the Gospel as proclaimed by Jesus, the son of God. The fundamental message offered by Jesus is of compassion and love. This message is astonishing to most people as Jesus instructs us to love our enemies, a concept which was not spoken of prior.

Within Christianity, the Holy Trinity, God the father, son, and Holy Spirit, are the divine individuals and the Bible is the Holy scripture.

They believe that God created everything from the water, to the air and sky, to animals, to humans, absolutely everything. Christians also believe in a place after death that reunites God and all his creation.

The inevitable question: what is life? For numerous individuals this dilemma has diverse answers. Various ethnic and religious groups seek out the true meaning of this question, and consequently follow a destiny of faith. In this case, an ethnographic investigation regarding ultimate questions about the afterlife, destiny and one’s purpose for life has been conducted, and the responses from both the Hindu and Christian community have been evaluated. Similarly, Christianity and Hinduism acknowledge that there is one omniscient God, and that one’s future can or cannot be fulfilled because of one’s choices.
