Jesus and Vishnu don't even have the same amount of arms, so that's not even fair. And second of all, people who worship Vishnu don't even like meat. I think. rofl

Well, not that ferret's post made mention of it, but mainly what Jesus does for us is he died for our sins. Vishnu never sacrificed himself out of love for his people, nor would he ever be willing to. Christ redeems his people from bondage to sin, at his own expense. Vishnu claims to be a god, but would he ever give up divine glory to come and dwell among his people? To have all of our weaknesses and experience all our suffering? Christ actually considers us brothers, sisters, and friends; and he's experienced all the humanity that we have. I don't know all that Vishnu supposedly promises his people, but Christ not only promises salvation and love; he actually carried out the actions himself and performed the greatest display of love anyone possibly could: sacrificing himself, though he was God, and suffering the condemnation that we deserved, even though we hated him. What wondrous love is this.

Christ Jesus, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

Actually Vishnu is called the "Preserver" in Hinduism. And he came down to Earth in 9 avatars or incarnations. Two of them are called Rama and Krishna. Krishna amazingly shares the same qualities as Christ. Vishnu is also featured in a trinity of sorts along with Brahma and Shiva.

In the article you provided, I saw no similarity between Krishna and Christ. It says Krishna is a "trickster" and that he likes to "seduce the village girls." No Hindu god actually carried out any act of love for their people like Christ did. Self-sacrifice is the greatest form of love, and the God of Christianity is the only one willing to do such a thing. And historically we know that he did.

Vishnu may promise some kind of salvation, but Christ actually carried it out for us. As the first article you posted says, in Hinduism "Men attain salvation by faithfully following predetermined paths of duty." In Christianity, Christ gives us salvation freely: he did the work for it, and he paid the penality for the punishment we deserve. God humbled himself to become a man, lived a full life of sharing in our human suffering, and sacrificed his very life so that we could be reconciled to him. So we know that he loves us; there's nothing he could possibly do to show it more than that. The question was what does Christ claim to do that's different than Vishnu; and the answer is that Christ loves us so much he was willing to die for us.

Have you forgotten, that in Jesus' youth that he was also a trickster? Or did that little fact, not matter to you?

Do you have proof that God became a human?

He didn't need to sacrifice himself, he is simpy the All Preserver, ruler of life and death and creator of all things. Go to him, he does it without dying on a cross first.

And the post wasn't advertising his awesome abilities at self sacrifice, it was focused on the "salvation" aspect.

My point is, I'm making a satire out of the foolish claim of " Jesus is the one and only way ever because someone said so once, so you should all go to him forever because I said so." Frankly, it's insulting the the whole point of Christ to dumb him down to "If you believe it, you're in".

Well that's what it says in the Bible. God made it simple because He knew that we're all idiots who like to show off our works. If you believe it, you are in. And you're in for good.
