The vedas has been around for thousands of years before the Bible came into existence. So God must of known about the vedas or even krishna as false Gods, and not to worship any God but Jesus.

The Bible knows the name of the devil, which is Satan, so does the Bible speak of other evil Gods as well?

Krishna stole women's clothes who were bathing in the river and climbed on the tree so that he can see their nudity when they come out of water.
But Christ climbed on the tree bearing the sins of all mankind.That is the difference.

Jesus Saves. “There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved."Acts 4: 12

I guess the Bible should have the entire list of false gods including the ones that are being crreated as we speak? I also guess the Bible should have mentioned Hinduism? What about Mars? String Theory? :D Any takers on what else should have been mentioned?

All the mention of false gods in the Bible is done in a historical context, what the people in the account were dealing with at the time. In the Old Testament, these was the gods the Jews were dealing with, who were the gods of Babylon, Assyria, Egypt, Philistines, etc. The ones mentioned in the New Testament were those that were confronted by the early church, which was mainly in the Middle East, Asia Minor, and Rome, so these gods were predonimantly Greek and/or Roman in origin. If the accounts in the Bible took place in India, or any other place farther east, than they would have been confronted by the early church and may have been referenced. And since Hinduism didn't spread west, at least not significantly, during this time period, they weren't encountered and/or mentioned in the accounts of the Bible.

These passages strongly reminds me of Hinduism:
They have turned aside quickly out of the way that I commanded them. They have made for themselves a golden calf and have worshiped it and sacrificed to it and said, 'These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!'" And the LORD said to Moses, "I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people. Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may burn hot against them and I may consume them, in order that I may make a great nation of you.(Exodus 32:8-10)

And they made a calf in those days, and offered a sacrifice to the idol and were rejoicing in the works of their hands. (Acts 7:41)

As has already been stated, the false gods mentioned in the Bible always exist due to a historical context. But because you thought that the Holy Scriptures failed to condemn Hinduism, I would point out that it speaks very negatively of cow-worship, and connects it with the other Hindu practice of idolatry.

That looks more to me like worship of Hathor. However, I'm not Kemetic, so I'm not the best source.

Calling these ancient so called gods as demons is infact a direct support to Hinduism. To understand this, you need to study Vedas and Purans. The region on the west of ancient Vedic India i.e west of Afganistan was called Land of Ashuras (means land of demons and their followers). Jesus attacked those which were mentioned in a negative way in Hindu Holy scriptures but he didn't said a word against Hindu Brahman and deities which was practised on a much larger scale at that time. Instead, this son Christ has got name which is similar to Father Chrishna and lot many other direct and indirect similarities as if they were directly adopted from Holy land of India. :)

Christ is not a name, neither is Jesus his name for that matter. His name is Yahoshua or Yeshua, Yeshua Ha Meshiah.

w:doh: and ironpillar do you have an scriptural evidence for your allegations?
I have seen pictures of naked women covering with one hand and begging to the god on the tree top to get their clothes back.[Paintings by Hindus]
And I heard they sing and celerate about this event as if he did something super.

And it shall come to pass That from one New Moon to another, And from one Sabbath to another, All flesh shall come to worship before Me," says the Lord. "And they shall go forth and look Upon the corpses of the men Who have transgressed against Me. For their worm does not die, And their fire is not quenched. They shall be an abhorrence to all flesh."Isaiah;66:23,24

You know, without even going into the symbolic aspect, or starting a big discussion about these stories, I'm just going to say right now that it boggles the mind that someone can apply eroticism to a story of a mischievous seven-year-old Krishna's childhood pranks.

Krishna Lilas,

This is the first time I have read this!

I am reading the whole story right now:)

Here is PART 12 of 55: HIS LILAS AND TEACHINGS:

Even celestial women become absorbed in the music and lose their external 12 LILAS Page 45 consciousness. The cows drink the nectar of music with ears erect and stand motionless with tears of joy in their eyes.

The calves eagerly listen to the music and stand with their mother's milk in their mouths. Even the birds sit high on trees and silently hear the enrapturing music of the flute. Even the whirlpools in the rivers show their strong desire to meet Sri Krishna.

The rivers show their love to Sri Krishna. They stop their course to hear the sweet music of Krishna. With their arms of waves they throw offerings of lotuses and take hold of Sri Krishna's feet in order to embrace them.

Look at the clouds in the sky. They spread themselves over Him like an umbrella. When He plays on the flute in the hot sun, they sprinkle on Him showers like offerings of tiny white flowers and thus offer themselves at the feet of Krishna.

"Blessed is Govardhana, the prince among mountains, because Krishna drives cattle on its sides and it makes its offerings of roots, delicious fruits and fresh water for drinking. What a great miracle does this flute play!" The Gopis used to forget themselves by describing the various sportful activities of Sri Krishna and singing them.

They became merged in Krishna (Tanmaya). The Stealing of Clothes The cold season (Hemanta) set in. The girls of Nanda's Vraja observed a vow and worshipped Goddess Katyayani (Durga). They ate only the purest food.

They prayed, "O Katyayani! O ruler of the universe, O great Goddess of wonderful Yogic powers! Let the son of Nanda be our husband. We bow to your feet". They observed the vow for a month.

They took their bath every day in the river Yamuna in the early morning. One day, they left their clothes on the bank and went down into the river to bathe. They sang the praise of Krishna and sported in great joy in the river.

Sri Krishna together with all His friends went to the bank of the fiver to fulfil the object of their vow. He took away their clothes and quickly climbed the nearest Kadamba tree.

He asked the girls to come up and take them. They did so. Krishna returned the clothes. Krishna then said to the Gopis, "O virtuous and pure girls! I know your resolve. The vow you took has been observed well. You want to worship Me. I approve of it. You will succeed. Those who devote their mind and heart to Me will not obtain the limited objects of desire of this world, for when I become the object of their desire, their desires get burnt. Just as a grain fried or boiled does not germinate, so also the desires directed towards Me cannot lead to worldly enjoyments. Go back to Vraja. Your object in worshipping Katyayani is gained. You will sport with me during the coming autumnal nights.

Krishna and the Vedic Yajna Sri Krishna accompanied by Balarama and the cowherd boys went far away from Brindavan. It was the summer season. The rays of the sun were extremely severe. The trees gave shade. Krishna said, "Look, my friends! How noble-minded these trees are! They live only for the good of others. They suffer from the winds, the rains, the sun and the frost. Their life is the best life. They sustain other forms of life.
