The Hindu concept of reincarnation means endless life cycle from birth to death to birth. (NIV). As Paul wrote to Timothy, “Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you- guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us” (2 Timothy 1:14). A God who has revealed Himself and so can be known, can have personal relationship with Him. Only human being is created in the image of God. Peter writes, “Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? He writes, “My favorite hero is: Batman…and Thor, Iron Man, the Hulk, and Cyborg… When I die I am going to be a gorilla. The best hope a dying five year old has is to come back as a gorilla. Do all religions have the same concept of God and worship the same God? Another example. John in his letter writes, “Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life” (1 John 5:12). “In 2005, the London zoo introduced a four-day exhibit: ‘Humans in Their Natural Environment.’ The human ‘captives’ were chosen through online contest. This time the priest looks at the kid and hesitantly responds, “No. Good and evil are considered coeternal; good can overcome the evil for some time, but is not able to do it completely and forever. No other religion puts such a high value on the human life. But when it comes to stating more precisely just what that common thread is, conversations usually become vague or contradictory. “I believe all express the truth, just in different language.” “If all religions are equally true, then does that mean you would accept everything that all religions teach?” “Yes. This was the message that the apostles preached; “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). Jesus is the way—the only way;Lovingly He calleth, thus the Scriptures say,Whosoever will, let Him come today—The blessèd Jesus is the only way! That necessitates the repeated incarnations of Hinduism. As the priest is walking along, now looking at the goat on his shoulder, wondering what the fellow told him, another cheater comes along and tells him the same thing. You have made him a little lower than God and crowned him with glory and honor. Secondly, if I have come to accept this truth and have come into relationship with Jesus, I need to continue growing in this truth, to be grounded in this truth so not only I am not deceived by the lies I hear all around me, but am able to defend it with full conviction. It is believed that there is a common thread among all the religions. One participant in the exhibit seemed to agree: ‘When they see humans as animals, here, it kind of reminds them that we are not that special’”. Question 1: Are all religions basically the same? But one of the Hebrew words for idol literally means a lie. What a sad story! They emphasize that man is the master of himself and that he can master the whole universe. However, if we assume that all the religions of the world are same then we can say that there would be no need for sectarian violence. The world is not what it was basically created to be, and cannot be until the evil is ultimately taken care of. Hick refers to this theory as a “pluralistic hypothesis” and defines it as that all religions can be described as “culturally conditioned responses to the same ultimate reality.” This theory faces one major difficulty though, the contradicting claims that each different religions makes. You can see how Hindu concept of man matches with Darwin’s theory of evolution, human being evolving from an inanimate cell. Therefore, through different religious scriptures of the world one can say that all the religions are quite different from each other as far as the philosophies and beliefs are concerned. To the place the streams come from, there they return again. On the other, The New Age movements like Transcendental Meditation and Yoga put emphasis on inner personal resources. Are all religions basically the same? It was only Thomas, however, among the disciples that called Jesus Lord and God. And then the third cheater shows up telling him the same thing. The Hindu concept of the four ages, for example, is a repeated and endless cycle. It began with the creation, the Fall, God’s plan of salvation and will end when the current evil world system is destroyed and God’s Kingdom begins which will never end and people of God who have come into the relationship with God through Jesus will happily live with Him forever. In the Book of Genesis in the creation account, when God created the animals and birds and trees and plants, fish and sea creatures, in every case it is noted, God created them “after their own kind” (Genesis 1:11-25; those words used ten times). “Moksha” is the traditional Sanskrit term for release or liberation from the endless cycle of deaths and rebirths which is the supreme goal of human strivings. Only human being, because created in the image of God has soul, has conscious, has the concept of good and evil, and has eternal life. They do not all worship God and do not worship the same God. Before anyone can see him in this defiled condition, the priest quickly throws away the dog, no, the kid, and runs away. Actually, we would live worse than animals. That is why the Bible allows capital punishment, life for life, there is no other even exchange. Nirvana literally means extinction, and it refers to the extinction of all craving, an extinction that allows one to become liberated.
