Hinduism and Christianity, Trinity and Trimurty,

For Hinduism, God is both, immanent and transcendent:
    1- Immanent, remaining or operating within a domain of reality, because each person is an emanation of God, is God.
    2- Transcendent, being beyond the limits of all possible experience and knowledge, being beyond comprehension, Brahman is entirely impersonal, and entirely impossible to describe, is perfect and beyond complete human understanding.
    Varying emphasis on either quality is made by the different philosophies/traditions within Hinduism.

    - For Christianity, God is Immanent but not-transcendent:
    1- Immanent, because the essence of Christianity is not "to know" about Christ but "to be" another Christ, with Christ in the Christian and the Christian in Christ, in his Mystical Body, in his church... and Christ is God, the Absolute, the real Brahman who became a real human person, not just a hero of an imaginary novel.
    2- God is not transcendent, beyond the limits of all possible experience and knowledge, on the contrary, He is personal, and well known through His own revelations of Himself in the Bible, and most specially through Jesus the Christ, he who sees Jesus sees God Himself, the Absolute, Brahman Himself. (John 14:9).

The God of Hinduism and Christianity are different:
- For Christianity God is the Creator, but he is not his creation. For example, he is not an animal or a star, and an animal o a star are not God, though they are manifestations of God, creations of the only One God.
- Hinduism provides a radically different idea. Brahman (the "creator" god) IS his creation. The cosmos is not so much a creation, but more an emanation from him.

For Hinduism, all the humans, animals, and gods, and even objects is one divine being. The soul of each person is thus Brahman, the entirety of creation... and every animal or stone or star or planet is God... This is a difficult concept to comprehend, for how can the "small" soul of each person or even a stone can be identical with the "large" God of the cosmos? But it is the comprehension of this very idea that becomes a central goal in the of human life and in the resolution of the human problem for Hinduism....
Please, look at Animism and all primitive religions.
This idea, you and God are one, is followed by the Mormons and the New Age with its many sects and cults

The multiplicity that hides the cosmos' unity is called Maya; that is the reality humans perceive with their senses everyday. The overcoming of Maya to perceive true reality (Brahman) thus constitutes an important task in Hinduism... you and God are one...
However, though Brahman IS the creation, Brahman is more than the sum of everything in the universe, says Hinduism.

The "Holy Trinity" is a very clear doctrine of the New Testament, already sketched in the Old: There is only one God, with tree persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit... each person is fully God, but there are not three Gods, only one God!. The most glorious Mystery of Christianity and of the Bible.

    God, Who is God?- Does God really exist?- How can we know?- If God made everything, who made God?- the I AM
    The Most Holy Trinity, God is a Family, only One God
    God the Father in Christianity, in Judaism, in Islam, in polytheistic religions.
    The Father is eternal and immutable, without beginning nor end.
    God the Son, Jesus Christ - The Messiah, God, Man, Work of Jesus, How to Appropriate the Work of Christ
    The Word, the Son, is also eternal, The Father has Word from the beginning, and the Word is the Son who became flesh, Jesus the Christ. So, the Word, the Son, was not created but eternally begotten of the Father, begotten not made, one in Being with the Father always, since eternity to eternity
    On top of it,if just for a second the Word would have not existed, for that second the Father would have been no "Father" because for that second He would have had no "Son", which is an impossible, because He is eternally immutable.
    God the Holy Spirit, work of the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, the One who is always with you to purify and sanctify you
    The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son: The love of the Father to the Son and the love of the Son to the Father is the Holy Spirit, also eternal and immutable, as the Son and the Father... Yes, God is Love, a family of Love!.

"And God (Elohim - plural of deities) said, Let US (plural) make man in OUR (plural) image, after OUR (plural) likeness: and let them (plural) have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." (Ge.1:26 NIV).
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them (plural). (Ge.1:27).

The first factor in understanding the proper definition of God from the Hebrew perspective is that the word is the plural of deity. It is similar to the word family. A family is one entity comprised of more than one member. For example, my family is comprised of four members, we are the Dominguez family and my individual title is the Father. The word "Elohim" is a specific class of beings whose individual members are further defined by the first names they carry. This class of beings is first set forth in the first chapter of Genesis. "And God created great whales, and EVERY LIVING CREATURE that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, AFTER THEIR KIND, and every winged foul after HIS KIND: and God saw that it was good." Genesis 1:21 (KJV)

That "family", says later the Bible, is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, three persons but only one God. The Father is God and fully God. The Son, the Word, is God and fully God. The Holy Spirit is God and fully God. And there are not three Gods but only one God, the family of God... the most glorious mystery of the Holy Trinity in the whole Bible.

We often try to paint the Father: Jesus tells us, he who sees me sees the Father (Jn.14:9), so the best picture of God the Father is Jesus at Bethlehem or at Calvary or as a Carpenter in Nazareth.

Since Creation, in Gen.1, the tree persons always do things together: The Father gives the order, the word... the Word Jesus makes it, and He does not need any laborers, He does everything with the power of the Holy Spirit.

This is the way I understand it: If I ask my son to put on the light, he clicks the switch and the light is on. Here, I would be the Father, my son would be the Son, but the light does not go on if there is not electrical current there... that electrical current is the power of the Holy Spirit.

And to end this example, we are the bulb!, if the bulb is broken not even the Holy Spirit can light it up!... Yes, God made us free like Him, and when he made us free He decided to respect our freedom no matter what... so, if you or I decide to spit God in His face, not even God will stop us!... and that's the reason of our "responsibility", and of Heave or Hell forever, because we were not only made "free" like God, but immortal, eternal, like God.

    - Only One God: Deut.6:4-5, Mk.12:29-30, Jn.10:30, 14:9, 17:11, 21,23, Ephe.4:4-6.
    - Three Different Persons: Mt.3:13-17, 28:19, 1Cor.12:3-6, 1Ped.1:2, Jud.20-21, 2Cor.13:13, Tit.3:5-7, Rom.1:1-4, Gal.4:6, Rev.1:4-5
    - Jesus and the Father:
            - John: 2:16, 3:35, 5:17,20,37, 6:65, 8:54, 10:30, 14:9,10, 14:23-24, 16:14-15, 16:25-33, 17:1-5, 17:11,21,23,
            - Matthew: 6:9,15, 7:11,21, 10:32, 11:27,12:50, 18:35, 24:36, 28:19,
            - Luke: 2:49, 6:36, 12:32, 22:42, 23:34, 23:46, 24:49.
    - Jesus and the Spirit: John: 14:15-17, 14:26, 16:5-15, 1Cor.12:1-11, 2Cor.13:13,
    - The Spirit in the OT: Gen.1:2, Num.11:16-26, 27:18, Judg.3:10,6:34, 14:6,19, 15:14, 23:24, 1Sam.16:13, 2Sam.23:2, 2K.2:9, Is.11:2, 28:6, 63:10, Zech.7:12, Neh.9:30, Sal.51:11

    In Genesis God speaks in "plural": "Let us make", "to our image", "to our likeness"... it does not say, "I make", "to my image"... (Ge.1:26)... and continues, "God created man in the image of himself, in the image of God he created him, male and female he created them" (Ge.1:27).

    God is like the "sun": The sun is the Father; the light is the Son; the heat is the Holy Spirit... only one sun, only one God.

    In the "creation" of Gen.1, the Father gives the "order"; this order is made by the Word, the Son; but the Son does not need engineers nor architects, nor workers... he does everything with the power of the Holy Spirit... and, in fact, the Spirit is the first person of God mentioned in the Bible, in Gen.1:2.
   In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ²He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.(Jn.1:1-3... Colos.1:15-17).).

    In Gen.2:24 God created "marriage" at the image of God, "the two of them become one flesh"... and the actual beautiful plan of God for marriage is "3 persons in one flesh", "husband, wife, and God", like the Trinity!, and marriage would be like "a piece of heaven on earth"!... but many marriages are like "a piece of hell on earth", because the 3 persons are "husband, wife, and Satan"... if you are in sin, your marriage is hell, even if you are a millionaire... guaranteed!... if you want to fix your marriage, it is easy, live with Jesus in your heart, and your marriage will be a piece of heaven on earth... guaranteed!.

    The Trinity is also represented by the "three men" who visited Abraham in Gen.18:2.

    God is repeatedly "the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob", in Ex.3:6, 3:15, Lk.20:37... symbolizing the Holy Trinity: Abraham is God the Father, Isaac is God the Son, and Jacob is God the Holy Spirit... Jacob was transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit from "Jacob", a cheater, into "Israel", the kindest man in the Bible.

God is Himself a community of love: The Father loves the Son, and the Son loves the Father, and this love of the Father to the Son and of the Son to the Father is the Holy Spirit: Three persons, but only one true God.

In the Baptism of Jesus:

    1 - The "Son" is a person, fully God and fully man, Jesus the Christ, the Messiah.
    2 - The "Father" is a person who cries out, "this is my beloved Son".
    3 - The Holy Spirit is a person, descending like a dove coming upon Jesus.

The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob; the compassionate, the merciful, the King on the day of reckoning... three persons, only one God!... to Him only we worship, we cry for help, he only guides us (The Koran, Sura 1).

Peter teaches that the Holy Spirit is the person most important now in our lives, because the Father already created us; the Son already redeemed us; and the Holy Spirit is the person who sanctifies us now, who makes us to appropriate in our lives the redemption of Christ, for the glory of the Father (1Pet.1:2).

The Holy Spirit comes to our lives as a "dove", very humble, wanting to nest in our hearts, but with the hurricane power of Pentecost of Acts 2, able to fill our lives with the love of Christ, for the glory of the Father, and of his Church, and for our own good.

    Come, Holy Spirit, on any person reading these lines, make in him the same job you did in Virgin Mary, fill him with Jesus, to serve the neighbor and to sing the praises of the Lord, like Mary did in Luk.1:35, 39-56... it is the essence of the Pentecost in Act.2... and in our lives!.

    Anything Jesus did on earth was with the "power of the Holy Spirit":
    - He was conceived in the Virgin Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit (Luk.1:35);
    - He went about doing good and healing the sick by the power of the Holy Spirit (Act.10:38);
    - He offered himself on the Cross through the eternal Spirit (Heb.9:14);
    - Resurrected by the power of the Holy Spirit (Rom.8:11);
    - Now Jesus becomes bread and wine in the Eucharist by the Spirit, as every priest states in the Mass just before the Consecration.

The Spirit is the life of the Church:

He guides the Church now, fills her with life with his charismas, and mainly with the daily Eucharist (Jn.16:13, 1Cor.12)... he is the Lord and giver of life, the one who inspired all the Holy Scriptures (2Pet.1:21).

Do you need a good Lawyer?:

Take the Holy Spirit, your Great Lawyer, your Advocate, your Guide, your "Paraclete", "the one who is always at your side" (Jn.14:16, 16:7-13).

Everything good in the Bible:

Everything good in the Bible was made by the power of the Holy Spirit: The "creation" of Gen.1, as we commented; Moses was filled with the Spirit and that same Spirit was given to other 70 in Num.11; Samson, Gideon, and all the Judges were filled with the Spirit; Saul, David, Solomon, were anointed with the Holy Spirit; all the Prophets were inspired by the Spirit (2Pet.1:21)... and Joel says that in the last days, now!, God will poor out his Spirit upon all flesh, upon all humanity, prophecy partly fulfilled in the Pentecost of Acts 2:16-21. Holy Spirit

For Hinduism there may be millions of gods!... however, these gods are not God, they can not make stars, nor roses, nor human hearts... they should not be adored as God..

    "Brahman" is called the Absolute, the only one real God.
    Though believed by many Hinduism to be a polytheistic religion, the basis of Hinduism is the belief in the unity of everything. This totality is called Brahman, the Absolute, the Supreme Being, the Ultimate Reality, the Divine... also called "Bhagvan", or "Ishvara"... the purpose of life is to realize that we are part of God and by doing so we can leave this plane of existence and rejoin with God.
    Everything in the universe is part of Brahman, (including each one of us), but Brahman is more than the sum of everything in the universe.
    Hindus believe that each soul is an individual, and yet is also a part of the Divine; is part of "God".
    Brahman is not a personal being in the sense that Christians think of God as a personal being. For most Hindus this God is not a person but a force, an energy, a principle... Brahman is entirely impersonal, and entirely impossible to know or to describe. Brahman is a supreme, perfect spirit or force that permeates everything.

Different aspects of Brahman:
There is only one ultimate reality, Brahman. But that ultimate reality shows itself in many forms or functions, and some of those formsor functions are called gods, they are not separate gods but they are valid to worship, according to Hinduism.
The gods Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva, for example, are different epic aspects of Brahman:

For Hindu pantheism, the world is part of God; for Western religions, the world is a creature of God; for Paganism, God is part of the world.

The gods of Hinduism:

    The different gods and goddesses of Hinduism represent various functions or aspects or attributes of this One Supreme Divinity, they are not separate gods but Hinduism claims they are valid to worship and trust.
    For example, the goddesses are really the female aspects of God, because the Divine contains both masculine and feminine attributes... some gods are represented with several heads or 8 arms to represent the omni-potency and omni-presence of God... all in all, it is often stated that some Hindu teachers claim 330 million gods and goddesses!

    The gods of Hinduism do not exist as a person and they never existed, they are the result of divinization of novels or epics heroes, like the Greek or Roman gods... it is like making a god out of Hamlet or Sherlock Holmes who never existed, only in the mind of the writer... and this is recognized by most Hindu scholars:
    1- So are the 33 gods of the Vedas pantheon mythology, including the Cosmic Trinity of Agni (god of fire), Vayu, (god of air), and Surya (god of energy or life).
    2- So are the gods of the Puranas, including the Hindu Trinity, of Brahma (the creator), Vishnu (the savior and protector who incarnates 10 times), and Shiva (the destroyer of evil, and the creator of new life)... they never existed as persons and do not exist now, nor their wives and lovers also adored as gods, but who also never existed, only in the mind of the writers.
    3- So are the Post-Vedas gods from the novels or epics Ramayana and Mahabharata: Rama is a hero of the Ramayana who never existed, only in the mind of the writer. Khrishna is the hero of the 18th chapter of the Mahabharata who never existed as a person, and does not exist now as a person... and so are the animal or planet deities... of course, a monkey or an elephant are not God!
    Of course, there are many wonderful novels and epics with great moral and social teachings, and with glorious descriptions and intuitions of God, but there is no way to make a god out of any of their imaginary heroes... and no one should adore or trust an imaginary god.
    For Jews, Christians and Muslims to adore other than God is an idolatry... they are "idols", or "devils" says Psalm 96:5... do not adore idols... do not trust your life to devils, it is a prostitution against the real God, against the one who made the sun, and the atoms, and our hands and hearts, says the Bible (Leviticus 20).

1- The 33 "gods of the Vedas", the Devatas:

They are not very popular. Although the Vedas comprise the most sacred literature of Hinduism, the divine pantheon in them is essentially ignored in daily life. Only one god important is Agni, who is both the god of fire, and the sacred fire itself. He continues to be worshipped in the daily rituals of each Hindu home. Every morning, an offering of clarified butter (ghee) and some grain cakes is shared communion-style between Agni (i.e., the fire) and the members of the household
Prajapati is the father of the gods and of the devils (asuras). Indra, the warrior god, with his band of Maruts, defeats the demons of darkness each morning so that the sun could rise. There is also the sky god Dyaus and a few goddesses, such as Aditi and Ushas.

2- The post-Vedas gods:

The theology of the Puranas mainly centers round the Trimurty (Trinity) -Brahma, Vishnu and Siva.

They are very popular, mostly the "Trimurti", Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, with some similarities to the Christian "Holy Trinity":

1- Lord Brahma: The creator god, with some similarities to God the Father of the Christians,... There are very few shines dedicated to him, in fact only one temple in all India. God the Father has also few temples dedicated to Him in Christianity. .
    Lord Brahma, the creator God of the Trimurti (Trinity). Painted as 4 males or 4 females, as shown in the picture, with 4 heads and 4 arms, symbols of his omni-presence and omni-potency, Each hand is holding a sacrificial tool (sruva), the Vedas (knowledge), a water pot (kamandalu) and a rosary respectively and appears seated on a lotus (a symbol of glorious existence).
    His vehicle is a swan (hans) which is known for its judgment between good and bad.
    Lord Brahma's consort is Goddess Saraswati, she is the Goddess of Learning.

2- Lord Vishnu, is the savior and protector of mankind, with some similarities to God the Son for the Christians, he incarnates, like Jesus, but 10 times!, the last one, as Kalki, is still to come.... Vishnu is very popular, and shown as one of his 9 incarnations ("avatars"), as fish, tortoise, a boar... the last 4 incarnations were Rama, Balaram, Buddha and Krishna - (Incarnations) Avatars of Vishhnu
    The 2 wives of Vishnu are Lakshmi, goddess of fortune, and Prithvi, the Earth Goddess, both very popular.
    Lord Krishna - Krishna-2 : The last Avatar (Incarnation) of Vishnu. He is the central hero of the 18th chapter of the epic novel Mahabharata, the Bhagavad Gita
    There are three main stages in Krishna's worldly life.
    1- Krishna is born in a prison in the epic, where his royal parents are being held by a rival king. His father works out a scheme to enable the baby Krishna to escape to a nearby village and replace him with another child. Krishna grows up as a mischievous boy within this village of cowherds, playing tricks on his family and friends.
    2- As a youth in the epic, Krishna woos all the gopis (female cowherds) in the village with his good looks, charms, and attentions. Although Radha is his favorite, he dallies with the other gopis as well.
    3- As an adult in the epic, Krishna regains his kingdom in northern India by killing King Kamsa, an act seen as the restoration of dharma. In the story of the Mahabharata., he then helps Arjuna (by serving as his chariot driver), and his brothers (the Pandava brothers) in a war to regain their rightful kingdom. On the night before a major battle, Krishna and Arjuna have a long discussion about the nature of dharma and the cosmos, which is preserved within the Mahabharata as the Bhagavad Gita. At the end of the discussion, Krishna reveals himself to Arjuna as Vishnu. The exploits of Krishna are told and rehearsed in the Vishnu temples and in the annual festival of the Ras Lila. -
    Lord Rama: The other major avatar of Vishnu is Rama, the central figure of another novel, the epic Ramayana. Lord Rama is one of the most commonly adored gods of Hindus.
    In keeping with the actions in the story, Rama (i.e., Vishnu) bears the attributes of trust, faithfulness, and strength. Along with Sita, his faithful wife, Vishnu as Rama continues to be worshipped in temples and in the annual festival of the Ram Lila.
    Lord Hanuman, the monkey-god, is the guardian spirit of the villages, the one who saved Sita, the wife of Rama in the Ramayana epic.

3- Lord Shiva, with some similarities to the Christian Holy Spirit , is the destroyer of evil, and the creator of new life, and sustainer of life, the cosmic lord.\
   The main symbol of Shiva is the Lingam and Yoni because of his re-creating fertility... It is one of the most common objects of worship, weather in the temple or in the household cult: The erect male organ, the lingam, rising from the female counterpart, the Yoni, as the base. The god Shiva is often shown with a big lingam. Lingam and Yoni images by Google - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingam
    This symbol is placed as the central image in a Shaivite temple and often made from a valuable material, such as silver. It is usually two to three feet tall, and constitutes a focus of worship for his followers,
    Shiva`with his`wife, Parvatie and his son Ganesha, the elephant-god.
    Shiva's "wives"
    Shiva's wives are the symbols of feminine powers of God, called Shakti. Although there are numerous female figures associated with Shiva, five stand out: Parvati, Umma, Durga, Kali, and Shakti:
    - Parvati, the wife of Shiva, is the goddess of love and romance. She is young, beautiful and full of life. As such, she represents union with Shiva, a representation that has distinct sexual overtones. Indeed, they are often depicted in the act of act of intercourse, the combination of their male and female (sakti) energies sustaining the universe. Parvati is also the mother of Janet. Although Shiva initially tried to kill Ganesha, he ultimately adopted him and the three of them are a favorite family.
    - Umma is the wife who represents motherhood. She is seen as kind, caring, nurturing, and displaying other features of motherhood.
   - Durga represents the attribute of justice. She rides a tiger and carries the weapons of battle. In this character, she is unafraid to kill to reestablish justice. Durga-Parvati
    - Kali is wild, terrible, and unpredictable, and is usually associated with death. She is usually depicted naked, wearing a necklace of human heads and a skirt of human arms. Blood drips from her sword. Death is thus connected with her activities. In fact, she is sometimes depicted dancing upon the prone form of Shiva, symbolizing the strength of wild and unpredictable power. The city of Calcutta (=Kali Ghat) is named after her. (For a picture of Kali, go here or here.)
    - Shakti, the Grand-mother, is very popular, the goddess of the Tantric sect that worships erotic sexuality.
    - Two sons of Shiva:.
    - The first, Lord Ganesha has the head of an elephant and is the god of overcoming obstacles, which links him to good luck and prosperity, and the one who recorded the Mahabharata epic.
    - The second, Lord Skanda, becomes the divine warrior and thus the god of war.

4- Other gods:

Hindu Goddesses:
Each God in the trinity has his consort. To Brahma is Saraswati, the Goddess of knowledge. For Vishnu is Lakshmi, the Goddess of love, beauty and delight. For Shiva is Kali (Parvati) , the Goddess of power, destruction and transformation. These are the three main forms of the Goddess, as Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are the three main forms of the God as mentioned above... The three Goddesses are often worshipped in their own right as well as along with their spouses.

Animal gods:
    Hindus see divinity in all living creatures. Animal deities therefore, occupy an important place in Hindu dharma. Animals, for example, are very common as form of transport for various gods and goddesses.
    Animals also appear as independent divine creatures... already mentioned are Lord Ganesha, the elephant son of Shiva, and Hanuman, the monkey-god, saved Sita, the wife of Rama, in tne Ramayana epic... a fish, a tortoise, a cow, a boar...
    Of course, all of these gods are not God, no one can make a star or an atom. and nobody sould adre or trust an imaginary "god".

Planet gods, the Navagraha:
There are nine deities also referred to as Nava (Nine) Grahas (Planets). These grahas are supposed to have a significant impact on the lives of an individual. The Hindu science of study of these planets is called the Vedic Astrology.
Classical Vedic astrology uses the seven visible planets; the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn, along with the two lunar nodes, the north and south nodes, Rahu and Ketu.

Lesser gods:
Personification of nature, like river and ocean gods, love and wealth gods, hosts of celestial beings...

Lord Jagannath
Lord Kartikeya or Subramania
Lord Satyanarayana
Lord Venkateshwara
Lord Ayyappa
Lord Satyanarayana

Rama and Krishna never existed, like Hamlet or Holmes, never existed and they do not exist right now, they existed only in the imagination of the novelist.
Jesus Christ is God, a person live right now... he is real, he can clean all our bad karma, forgive all our sins... he is the real Brahman made flesh who died on a Cross with love, to pay for all our sins, to clean all our bad karma, and resurrected to give us a new glorious life on Earth, and an eternal life in Heaven, as the "person" we are, and without the need of any reincarnation... and it is free, just believe in Jesus!... He is at your side right now!... Christianity

The essence of Christianity:

It is not "to know" about Christ but "to be" another Christ, with Christ in the Christian and the Christian in Christ, in his Mystical Body, in his church... and Christ is God, the Absolute, the real Brahman who became a real human person, not just a hero of an imaginary novel.

1- The Cross: Jesus on the Cross redeemed us, He paid for all our sins for all our bad karma, we just have to appropriate this free payment by believing in Jesus Christ and doing what He asks, mainly to be baptized in His church.

    2- The Resurrection: But the Cross was not the end... After His Resurrection Jesus Himself wants to live in us, here, on earth. We were saved from sin to live on earth with the love and joy and peace of Jesus in us, I no longer live, but Christ lives in me (Gal.2:20). A love and joy and peace that nothing and nobody can take away (Rom.8:37-39).
    Give thanks with joy to God always and in any circumstance as proclaimed in Eph.5:20 and emphasized in the Preface of every Holy Mass, Indeed it is "just" and "necessary", our "duty" and our "salvation" to give thanks to God always and in all circumstances. There are no more words in the dictionary to emphasize it!
    The life of a Christian on earth is a A Wedding Feast! , as proclaimed in at least 20 quotations in the Bible. In this Wedding Feast each one of us is invited, and not just as any guest, but as the "Bride of the Lamb". This is the message of the Cana wedding feast in John 2, the first miracle of Jesus.
    With problems like in Cana, but always with the joy and love and excitement of a bride in her wedding feast. In success or failure, good or bad health, always with the joy and love and peace of Jesus in me that nobody and nothing can take away.

    3- The Ascension: Still more: The work of Jesus on earth did not end with the Cross nor with the Resurrection, but with His Ascension to Heaven: He wants us to go to eternal Heaven, like Him!... Christianity is the religion of joy on earth, but still more, in Heaven for one eternity, without the need for any reincarnation, because Jesus paid for absolutely all or sins, all our bad karma.

   Suffering?
    Yes, many problems and sufferings, but with the joy and excitement of a "mother in labor" Jesus tells us in Jn.16:21. Because Each suffering is to bring up a new life, either in us or in others:
        1- In us... because each suffering is like an injection of God to purify us, as proclaimed in Hebrews 12.
        2- In others... like the sufferings of redemption of Christ or Mary, of Peter or Paul... Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I do my share on behalf of His body, which is the church, in filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions. (Colos.1:24)... yes, with my cross I am a co-redeemer with Christ, it is my best evangelization, to help others to go to Heaven. An old sick woman is not a burden, but the best treasure of home.
    "Suffering" is a great revolution of Jesus in the two mountains:
    1- In the Mount of the Beatitudes, proclaiming the "poor happy", the "hunger happy", those who "mourn happy", the "persecuted happy"...
    2- At Calvary it was not with words, but with deeds, with his flesh... the greatest success of humankind!...
    IT CAN BE DONE... CHRIST AND I, ABSOLUTE MAJORITY!, I can do everything through him who gives me strength. (Phil.4:13).

Come to the Cross of Jesus Christ:

Believe in Jesus Christ, and trust Him... if you have faith in Jesus Christ all your bad deeds, all your bad karma will be totally erased , right now!... you don't need any more reincarnations...because Jesus paid for them in his Cross... it is as if you owe one million dollars and some millionaire pay them for you... now you owe nothing... really nothing!... there is "power" in Jesus... infinite "power" to erase all bad deeds of 20,000 lifetimes... because he is God!.
... and if your gods do not have this power, your religion is a religion "without power".
What Hinduism needs is an agent from God, who comes to earth and pays for all our bad actions and makes us free and holy... and you already have it!... Jesus is not only an agent of God, he is God himself, the only one "Brahman", the only one "Bhagvan", the only one "Ishvara", who incarnated in the womb of Virgin Mary, became flesh, and died in a Cross with love, to pay for all our bad deeds, for all our bad karma, to make us free of sin, and to give us a new glorious life on Earth and eternally in Heaven without any reincarnation.

Lord Jesus, I believe in you, that you are the only one real God incarnated as a real human person to pay for all my sins, for all my bad karma, at the Cross... and I will be baptized in your church as soon as possible. Thank you, my Jesus, I adore you , my God and Savior.
