Sharing with Hindu's /a Hindu's confusion answered
A Christian married a Hindu man and the husband turned to Jesus, and she met and discussed Jesus with her father in law.
He believed that all god's were the same. She asked him since he believed that, did he also believe the Bible is God's Word? He replied that he did. Hindus have a few ideas about Jesus. He thought of Jesus as a "good" man like Gandhi. I then shared the Gospel with him. I shared John 14:6. "Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." But couldnt wrap his head around that. He couldnt reconcile what hinduism taught about Jesus with what Jesus said about himself in The Bible.
There's also a lack among believers to share the gospel with people of those major world religions or even cults and they might not even know about apologetics and evangelism books or training to help someone like her father in law, to clarify and lead him thru the things he as a Hindu needs to know.
Most don't realize alll citizens in each/all countries in the world (where any world religion began) were not allowed to have any other beliefs than that nations state religion. But when Christianity (which began in Eden btw) spread slowly globally (since Jesus Resurrection) to foreign lands...people were hearing about Jesus and mass numbers of people went to follow Jesus, which created a problem for the religious guru or religious leaders and rulers of a national religion such as Hinduism. So what did they leaders do? It wasn't telling people to go follow the truth. They would lose control, power and money. So they did something evil & corrupt: They adopted some things about Jesus, twisted the truth, and taught lies about Jesus to keep the rest of the people of that country trapped into Hinduism.
What did they decide to teach about Jesus?
He was a holy man, wise teacher, a god who is divine but not the God, because Hinduism believes in many gods.
But History and as recorded in the Bible says much different (See links below) about God and Jesus. It tells us the truth of who God is, and how to have forgiveness of sins.
So now, 2,000 years later the country' religion is still teaching lies about Jesus... and the people are still trapped in Hinduism's false religion, & headed to eternal Hell when they die. The religious rulers and leaders in power still have societal status, are revered, have power and money. That is all they care about, and to freely sin as they wish. They actually dont care about the people, theyre just con men.
Fortunately Britian from 1757 to 1947 were in India and brought Christianity with them, and missionaries went there and so did catholics at some point. So the people were hearing three different things about Jesus and few found the true Jesus and true Christianity. But some did. Also there was no internet back then and I do not think radio existed back then, esp not global radio where the people in a 3rd world country could even hear sermons and the gospel, but in later years [now] with better economy & connection to the Wsest, they started to have access. Later still some were able to come to the West for school and college and business and some heard the gospel that way and got access to a Bible to read it themselves.
While India is a very corrupt country and full of scammers today, fortunately the people from India are able to access the internet now, and can look into Jesus and read the Bible for free if they want to learn about Christianity.
Here are some things they can learn that can help them understand the true historical Jesus who has been written about in the Bible, they can receive as their Savior today. Once they understand a couple things and hear the simple Gospel, they are easily able to believe and trust it as the truth, as we all did.
Was Jesus just a good teacher, and just only human?
Is Jesus God?
How did Hinduism modify their religion to add Jesus to it's beliefs
