Is it Possible to be a Hindu Follower of Christ?

I think it is also important to keep in mind, however, that we Christians have many 'gods' as well. These creatures are revered, prayed to, and are held to be beings of supernatural origion. These beings are Angels(1). Just because Hinduism calls them 'gods' does not change what they actually are, ie: creatures which are revered, prayed to, and held to be beings of supernatural origion.

Hinduism recognizes a single Ultimate Creator, and emphasizes it as the ultimate reality (2). Although the people have become preoccupied with select 'gods' for their target of worship, this should not be 'blamed' on the nature of Hinduism's beliefs. Hindus believe in One Triune Godhead. A Trinity (3).

Although they were not given the same revelations that we Christians were, they are certainly not 'wrong' in trying to find their own way to happiness and salvation. They have their revelations, we have ours, and all is part of Gods plan. Not just us Christians.

Before we judge, let us examine ourselves, and discover the true source of our aggression.
