I am praying that you are talking to them about the Lord Jesus Christ. Remember that their souls are not saved unless they have repented of their sins and accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. To do otherwise is sentencing them to death, you have the truth and you know that they are walking towards a cliff, instead of stopping them, you watch them walk off that ledge to save yourself some discomfort. I do not believe that is the mission God sent you on.
Please look to the Bible and ask God what He would have you do.
Look man, live and let live.
Nothing better than that. Don't force your religion on others who may not want it, regardless of what your faith teaches you. That itself will guarantee a lot of peace in the world.
Why do you think the muzzlims are violent, because they have no other aim, but to convert everyone through any and every means necessary to islam. That is it, and they have killed billions since they started.
So live in peace and let others live in peace as well.
I agree with you, God does not force Himself onto anyone. If God doesn't do it, who am I?
To fellowship with a Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, etc is a different thing all together. To do this is recognizing that their Gods are equal to God. God is a jealous God.
What you do not understand is that OP is my friend. I know the mission he is on. I want him to be successful so I am asking him to seek guidance from God. What OP needs to keep in mind that is that Satan is hard at work fighting against God. Being a mere man, OP can easily be led astray by Satan so it is important to check in with the Lord often.
Thank you for your concern.
Please be aware that the word God mean the one with no equal, there is only one God and due to differences in cultures people knows him in different ways.
God want all his children to come back to him, why he would discriminate on culture? Time, place and circumstance. There is only 1 God, be careful on doing an offense to God.
There's a key issue between Christianity and Vedic religions on the nature of what constitutes a "god." In Christianity, we inherit from Judaism a recognition that the term "god" can only legitimately refer to the Most High God and that any other use of the term is done in pretense. There is a distinct understanding that the Most High God is jealous and does not share His highest honor which is carried under the term "god." In Vedic faiths, the term "god" is generally used for lesser emanations like Devas as well as the Supreme Being. (which they have named Brahma)
There is an issue in terms of a Creator/Creation distinction which is strongly maintained in the Abrahamic tradition. The Vedic tradition seems to interpret reality as layers of Absolute, "Divine+Creation" and Creation-only. Consequently, there's issues arising from both doctrine and ontology. The ontological aspect that it's less beneficial to worship a middle man than to worship the Source. Yes, a common objection raised by many non-Christians is that most Christians are Trinitarians and recognize that God reveals Himself in three personal forms but this is not understanding the doctrine. The Trinity are not separate beings acting as middlemen but coequal personal aspects of the same Divine Godhead/Nature. The Nature is indivisible. The distinction is in terms of a personal economy of Divine actions which manifest in distinct persons: God the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit whom are necessary to understand and receive Salvation.
Hinduism sees all Devas as coequal emanations of Brahma worthy of worship by themselves. This is a serious conflict with Christian monotheism since YHWH is a jealous Supreme Being who does not like the highest honors due to Him alone being given to lesser beings. Angels do not seek worship. While some traditions of Christianity may venerate creatures like angels and saints in a commemorative or petitionary sense this may never be raised to the same sense of absolute devotion and trust that belongs to the Most High God.
