Hi there

[Indian Sinner]

Hi,

I am an Indian student from E India. I am not very much religious, Atheisthindu.

I have respect for Guru Nanak, Gautama Buddha, Hindu Sadhus, Confucius and Lao Tze.

I prefer Truth and love above all. Even above God's wish.

Sorry but I have no favourite Bible verse.

My favourite quotes are -

"Those who preach do not know, those who know do not preach"- Lao Tzu.

"When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always."- Gandhiji.

You may call me Cyber Hindu too.

What a preachy hypocrite he was.

The diaper wearing enema fetishist also said "Kaffirs are as a rule uncivilized – the convicts even more so. They are troublesome, very dirty and live almost like animals.”

Great roll models you have there, curry slurping dothead God mocker.

Re: Hi there

Yes, yes we get it. You're a horrible sinner.

You have come here just in time for us to save your soul from the hindu demons.

Welcome, I look forward to instructing you in God's Holy Word. We'll make you a Baptist yet!

What will your Christian name be after you are baptized?

Adolf Hitler.

My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter.

I think one should not leave their ancestral name, even if he converts to Christianity and Islam.

Yes, Hi! I am of Indian descent but I have lost much of the heritage of my gradparents. I am still retaining the Jainism religion, though. Yes. Welcome. I am also a seeker of truth, many truths and you could be, too. You are seeing the many contradictory truths of Buddha and Lao Tzu, please try to see also the truth of these Christians. Yes. They have been very kind although I am offending them all the time, he he... Yes. I am happy that a Hindu would choose non-violence. Are you practising ahimsa and vegetarianism? I am. My grandparents are not very fond of Hindus because of previous oppression of Jainist people and the caste system. I am thinking, we must not judge Hindus as a group but see their individual truths. Yes.

We all love Gandhiji. Did you read his views on atomic weapons? Yes. Magnificent, magnificent quote.

How would you meet the atom bomb with nonviolence?" Margaret Bourke-White, the American correspondent, asked Gandhi on the 30th January, 1948, just a few hours before he was killed. He replied: "I will not go underground. I will not go into a shelter. I will come out in the open and let the pilot see I have not a trace of ill-will against him. The pilot will not see our faces from his great height, I know. But the longing in our hearts - that he will not come to harm - would reach up to him and his eyes would be opened."
Then guessing probably what was passing in his interviewer's mind, he added: "If those thousands who were done to death in Hiroshima, if they had died with that prayerful action-their sacrifice would not have gone in vain."

Welcome. I have errands today. Perhaps we will meet here again.

Welcome to these forums. I pray that you join me on my route to being a true Christian and making sure I am in heaven. How the angels would rejoice if you joined us! "Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth." Luke 15:10. See how much joy that would bring the dear sweet Lord, the angels, myself, and all the people on these forums who just want to see you become a True Christian!

Yours In Christ,
Elizabeth

So then, Thomas it will be, after the Apostle as tradition has it went to India to preach to the cow worshipers.

Thank you.

No I am not vegetarian.

Hinduism has many roots and non-violence is one of them. While Jainism is completely based on Ahimsa, one of principle doctrine of Hinduism.

Yes, Hindus some times oppressed Jain people, in Madurai 7000 Jains were killed. Caste system has more to do with economic prosperity and like this. Since Arya Samaji movement it's been rectified a lot. I am from such a place where was very much tribal influence and additionally Bhakti Movement has reduced that Caste system a lot. So my ancestors had not witnessed it so much.

But I do like Non-violence, whom we oppose for their brutality, we should not degrade ourselves to their status. Shall we?

If we choose violent way then if we dont win we are finished. In violent way, either lose or win.

Re: Hi there

The caste system is a prime example of why India so desperately needs Jesus! He was the first egalitarian, and taught that all white men are equally valuable in the eyes of the Lord. What a powerful message to carry to our benighted, downtrodden brethren in that dark and hopeless continent!

I've heard of this caste system. I'm lead to believe it originated in monkeys (like the AIDS and the Ebola).

When people look to animals for their cultural rules rather than the Bible (1611) there can be no doubt that bestiality is not fare behind.

Leviticus 20:15-16 And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast. And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Hello Cyber Hindu Too,

The caste system for Jesus is much simpler. You have:
- the saved (yours truly included), and then

- everyone else (that's where you are)...

But this is fixable thru His Grace:

Acts 15:11 - But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.

Obviously God has led you here opening the door to move up in His two-tiered society. Throw off the devil's shackles! Why not get down on your knees, renounce your heathen ways, and beg for forgiveness?

I'm praying for ya, kid!

Best regards,

Fred

Yes. You have interesting views. Some similar, some different. I am not opposing violent persons for their "brutality", I am practising non-violence to protect the attackers. Violence always has at least two victims, eh? The target and the attacker. But the damage to the soul of the attacker is much greater. I am referring to a soul not as a supernatural entity but as a practical proxy to the mindset, psychology, personality. We do not have to think ourselves as superior to those who do violence, they are also victims of their own perceived truths, eh? Yes. It is the same with vegetarianism. We are sharing pain and suffering with animals, aren't we? We do not know if their suffering is of lesser significance than that of ours. It is perhaps prudent not to cause more suffering to them. I hope I am not offending you. Yes. That is ahimsa. Jesus also said many things about ahimsa. "Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight , that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence." Gospel by John, Chapter 18.

No you have not offended me any way.

I agree with what description you provided about Souls.

About vegetarianism I think, we should not kill trees for food either. Scientist Jagadishchanda Bose had proved trees also have lives. So for food we should not eat them either, as taking them as food means killing them.

Basically vegetarianism or carnivorism depends on specific country's weather. Europe which is cold there you will not find enough vegetables like India and additionally absorbing animal protein increases body temperature which is necessary to keep body warm in cold place like Europe.

Well, most people don't actually eat trees. They are mostly too big and the bark gets stuck in your teeth. What about things like carrots and spinach? When they are in the ground, are they not "alive" in the same way that trees are? So vegetables should not be allowed either.

What exactly can you eat? I assume fruit, nuts and seeds are okay, but I would argue that by your rules, if they are left on the ground to sprout then they grow into another tree or plant. So they should also be banned according to your theories.
