There is one underlying reality that is Brahman. One reality that is God and God alone.
"What we never see here (and won't see) are the articles about evangelical Pastors and/or their sons raping their young Indian "converts.""
Not to mention pedophiles posing missionaries in places like Goa, Orissa and South India. A few of them made such hue and cry on camera for the western Christian media while being deported after being caught indulging in indecent acts. They even questioned India's religious freedom.
Its a matter of courtesy and decency that "guests" dont do things the locals dont like no matter how innocent their intentions maybe. Only missionaries dont seem to take a hint. And this is what happens when they dont and the locals take matters in their own hands.
This is why I believe foreign Missionaries must not be allowed inside India.
If spirituality is the need of the hour, then US needs Christianity more than India. When it comes to spirituality, India is far richer than any country on this planet.
Thank you for your prayers!

Most importantly you must read this:

You are wrong this was foretold hundreds of years before Jesus was even born.
Isaiah 53:
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
As Jesus said He could have called many legions of angel and stopped this. There were many prophecies that determined Him to be the messiah, that He fulfilled.
As far as you not accepting the gift of salvation that is up to you. No one can force one to accept a gift. That may be thing that so many hate about Christianity.

"India may have improved but there's a long way to go!!!"
We don't need really certificates from US. We are a far more tolerant country than the US.
The US really isn't that perfect ....a far longer way to go. A Sikh had been killed and an Indian student was beaten to death post 9/11 and not to mention the major minor incidents of assaults and harassments from officials who mistake them as terrorists because of their looks.
Just because we dont bother to come out with a similar report on the US doesn't everything is all perfect. Just how many Hindu missionary actually proselytize and gather converts in US like how foreign Christian organistations are allowed to do in India? Perhaps its time some Hindu organistaion from India comes out with a report on religious freedom in US.
This was not my site but a site that someone posted earlier in this thread. I have read enough from the VOM and heard enough to know that there is persecution of Christian going on in India.
I am certain that many Germans also turned their heads and did not want to know the truth about what was happening in Germany. I hope that is all that you are doing rather than participating or knowingly attempting to deceive others.

And how does he know whats happening in Himachal Pradesh?
Himachal Pradesh is far up north and Andhra Pradesh is down south.
My question was were did this happen? And the point is that it did happen! When you attempt to say that all the persecution is being made up this is one horrible satanic thing that did happen there.

"This was not my site but a site that someone posted earlier in this thread. I have read enough from the VOM and heard enough to know that there is persecution of Christian going on in India. "
Lady, you need to work on your general knowledge and you need to pick up news from a more reliable media that free of religious prejudice unlike the website you are reading from right now.
You have confused India with Pakistan. The persecutions are not happening in India its happening in eighbouring Pakistan. Right now Pakistan is in the news over church burning incidents. Nothing is happening in India, trust me I live here.
Search up "Pakistan" on FR. And also google up "Sangla hills and Nankana Church attack" on google news. You will know the truth.
That Jesus was God incarnate I do believe. I do not believe Jesus died for my sins or anyone else's. It isn't necessary for God to crucify himself to "save" anyone. Save them from what? And for what?
Please give us more details! Who is KP Yohannan and what can we do to help? Who else should we get in touch with?
Thank you for any and all information you can give us on this matter!
Ms. Casey's Daughter
My cast isn't really any of your business.
All I can say is you will have to do a lot to get out of your bigoted mindset to know more about Hinduism. Until then its pointless to argue with you.
Thank you!
