Comparing Christianity And Hinduism

When looking at Christianity and Hinduism there are many ways to look at each religion from a theological perspective. This is why the best way to look at the broad view of these religions would be to analyze each by comparing and contrasting what each religion is about.

This can be seen in how they both strive to achieve a state of higher being whether it be with the eternal state of Moksha or eternal life in heaven with God. They both also look to be more introspective of themselves in order to maintain a good relationship with their higher being. This can be seen with Christians trying their hardest to maintain their faithfulness to God (Letter to the Romans, Reader p. 200) or Hindus making sure to maintain their duties in their caste in order to climb the system (Bhagavad Gita, Reader p. 75). Another comparison would be that Christianity follows the “Golden Rule” which is better known in the Hindu religion as karma. This is an important cornerstone to both religions because it creates a system of justice for both religions to follow. To truly examine these two religions one must also look at the differences that each religion has to each other that make them each a unique belief. A main difference would be that Christianity focuses more on the short term while Hinduism focuses more on the long term. Another difference is the rewards that a Christian

Confucianism originated in China by Confucius around the year 400 B.C.E. (faithresource.com…). Hinduism was brought to India by the Aryans around the year 1500 B.C.E. (janesvilleparker.org…).

Once said by confucius was”it does not matter how slowly you go as long as you don't stop”. This quote is very true because you can do anything as long as you keep going but it is different than christianity because in christianity, they just want everyone to be kind to one another.

Each religion has a different perspective but most important is where the religions generated from. Major religions started in various parts of the world.

The dharma or moral law that need to be followed. There are many gods that were worshiped and each person may worship a different god. Images of the gods in homes or temples were presented where each person can show devotion to their personal gods by singing hymns or offering flowers before the images. The Hindus believe in many things such as that the universe undergoes and endless cycle of creation, believe in karma, that the soul reincarnates, the belief that all life is sacred.

Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism are three of the biggest religions worldwide. Although these religions are popular they have many differences. For example, how each religion views God, heaven, and hell. However, Christianity does have some similarities with Buddhism and Hinduism. Such as the belief in a prayer.

Hinduism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Christianity developed among different groups in the world. Hinduism developed in the 19th century in Indonesia by the people of Hindu (Woodhead, Partridge & Kawanami, 2016). Islam was born off the people of Umma who were tied together by the Islamic religion. Christians trace its root in the Jewish community in Middle East who follow the teachings of Jesus Christ the son of their most supreme being God and Buddhism was founded by Siddhartha Gautama in India (Woodhead, Partridge & Kawanami, 2016).

There are a array of belief systems practiced throughout the world today. Many of these beliefs have developed massive followings, as a result, have has a considerable amount of influence in the areas where they have practiced.

The Hindu’s view of sin is different to the Christian view in that “sin” is something done against oneself, not against God therefore the penalties for that “sin” are also against oneself. This is why the Hindu has to endure repeated cycle of rebirths until they reach that desired state and escape to Nirvana or oblivion. This is why they must work to be better in their current life to improve their position for the future life and more closely gain their oneness with Brahman.

Religion and the belief in higher beings have influenced humans since the beginning of civilization, every belief branching from similar stories and backgrounds. Brood (2013), examines the main religions of the world and showcases their history, teachings, and followings. The religions that we all know each have a counterpart: Christianity and Judaism, Buddhism and Hinduism. Each counterpart and their parent religion have similar ideal beliefs on how one must live their lives accordingly. However, within the four religions mentioned, Buddhism is further away from its parent religion of Hinduism because Buddhism believes in finding the Anatman (no Self or I) while Hinduism has strong beliefs in Atman (the soul) or Brahman. In Buddhism, there is no belief system in one or many Gods, unlike Hinduism, it practices having no attachment to the ultimate reality.

The world has many different belief systems including Christianity and Buddhism. Both are similar and different in many ways. These religions are used in different places around the world and influenced the lives of its followers and the society in which they are practiced. Christianity is more diverse and complicated in its beliefs and totally depends on faith. In contrast, Hinduism is a belief more based on the simplicity of culture and tradition.

“If I were asked to define the Hindu creed, I should simply say: Search after truth through non-violent means. A man may not believe in God and still call himself a Hindu. Hinduism is a relentless pursuit after truth... Hinduism is the religion of truth. Truth is God.”
