Arguments against hinduism

[mrsdizzyd]

Well it would be circular logic, we would go back and back forever

In the end, you’ll have to convince them that Christianity is more reasonable than their Hindu beliefs. Not an easy feat.

I think it was CS Lewis who said that Hinduism and Christianity are the most reasonable of all the belief systems.

You seem to know alot about hinduism, can you explain what they mean by one god many paths?

The mind is limited in understanding so various forms exist to represent what is great.

Catechism

285 Since the beginning the Christian faith has been challenged by responses to the question of origins that differ from its own. Ancient religions and cultures produced many myths concerning origins.

• Some philosophers have said that everything is God, that the world is God, or that the development of the world is the development of God (Pantheism).
• Others have said that the world is a necessary emanation arising from God and returning to him.
• Still others have affirmed the existence of two eternal principles, Good and Evil, Light and Darkness, locked, in permanent conflict (Dualism, Manichaeism).
• According to some of these conceptions, the world (at least the physical world) is evil, the product of a fall, and is thus to be rejected or left behind (Gnosticism).
• Some admit that the world was made by God, but as by a watch-maker who, once he has made a watch, abandons it to itself (Deism).
• Finally, others reject any transcendent origin for the world, but see it as merely the interplay of matter that has always existed (Materialism).

All these attempts bear witness to the permanence and universality of the question of origins. This inquiry is distinctively human.

 

[Ioannes_L]

From what I know of Hindus, they accept Jesus as a God, just not THE God.

Some might accept, while others don’t.
Trying to insert some Asian beliefs into what we call religion is quite difficult, sometimes impossible.

My advice? Don’t argue with them.Rather, introduce them to Our Lord Jesus Christ, and once they start worshiping Him, let Him do his job and convert them.

And if you allow me to add something else, ask for the intercession of the great St. Francis Xavier, after all he had an has some knowledge in this field.
