thanks a lot bro,how do you know that demons do exist?

We know they exist because Jesus cast demons out of people. Demons are evil spirits.....if people open themselves up to demons, they can either become possessed or at least influenced by them.

So will they enter based on Good deeds,

second doubt is in many websites i have read where they say hindu gods are demonic, what is your opinion on that?

Truly, how good are we?
Not that great at all times.

We need Jesus so as to
cover our sins.

There might be little (gods)
but
there is only one true God.

I think that God
might be calling you?

Why else would you be here?

i m from India,Can hindus also enter heaven without accepting Jesus,I mean hindus also do good deeds ,So will they enter based on Good deeds,
second doubt is in many websites i have read where they say hindu gods are demonic,this makes me laugh ,like a lot..,what is your opinion on that?

So first, don't read sites that claim Hindu gods are demonic. We don't know that.

If you need to know if Hindu's can go to Heaven, you'll need to ask Hindus.
We're not Hindu, so we don't know what they teach.

As for Christianity, what our Bible, the Christian Bible teaches.... is that it isn't about good deeds. There is no amount of good deeds that will save us Christians. The Bible teaches us, that nothing we Christians do, will get us to Heaven. We are not saved by our works, and good deeds.

Instead, what the Bible teaches is that someone must pay the price for the evil in our hearts and soul. Jesus Christ, died for our sins. He died for us, so that we didn't have to die. Everyone that accepts Jesus as their Lord and savior will be saved.

Not about our deeds, and the things we do. It's about Jesus who saved us.

Yes, you are right, Kirthika....Jesus says He is the only way to the Father. We can't be saved by good works, only through the Savior Jesus Christ. He takes our sins and gives us His righteousness.

No need to specifically say that Hindu gods are demons, but through Holy Spirit we understand that all idols and worshipping of them belong to the works of demons.
Your parents cannot sell their parenthood to some other one, sameway The one true living GOD will not give His glory to some useless idols(demons).
The scripture says that whatever offered to idols are offered to demons itself, and we are forbidden to eat it. (Ref: 1Corinthians 10: 20&28 | Deuteronomy 32:16-17)

Pslams 4:2
O sons of man, how long will my honor be a disgrace? How long will you love vanity? How long will you seek lies?
***(Are not many people and hindus doing disgrace towards the living GOD by worshipping the demons???)***

John 17:3
Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
***(Do hindu people believe in One true God and accepts Jesus Christ, whom GOD sent to this world to receive eternal life?)***

1John 4:15
Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God resides in him and he in God.
***(Do the only true living GOD reside in the hindu people?)***

Romans 10:14
How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?
***(So, you are the God's spokesperso to testify about His son to call on his name )***

"....everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved..." -Acts 2:21

If someone has done a serious crime against you, and then the wrong doer says that he will do some good works to compensate the crime towards you, is it not the act of arrogance for not feeling guilty?. Without repenting by humbleness how one can please GOD?... Repenting shows humbleness, but boasting in own good works shows arrogance. Do GOD loves the arrogant ones, who boast in their good works to enter heaven? Nuh. We know that everyone will be raised from the first death on the last day, but ??? If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.. -Revelation 20:15.

1John 1:8-10
If we say that we do not have sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, so that he will forgive us our sins and will cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
***(Do hindu people repents humbly for their sins to receive mercy from GOD or proudly boasting on their good works???)***

Psalms 138:6
For though Adonai is high, he cares for the lowly; while the proud he perceives from afar.

John 8:36
"..if the son sets you free, you will be truly free.."
***(so without the help of Son of GOD, how hindus will set themselves free??)***

Jesus Christ is the first born from the death i.e., who conquered death forever, then how one can enter heaven without faith in him?. This Jesus Christ alone has received the power from GOD to rasie everyone on the last day. This Jesus Christ alone has received the power from GOD to judge the living and the dead.

When Cornelius trusted the true living GOD, and doing the good works, GOD sent his angel to cornelius and made him seek for apostle Peter to hear the testimony about Christ to receive the promised Holy Spirit. So without receiving the spirit of the Holy Father how hindus can become Children of GOD to enter heaven?

So, first one must repent humbly to GOD and should have faith in Jesus Christ, then their good works will be calculated for their reward in heaven.

John 15:4-6, Jesus said:
Remain in me, and I in you. Just as the branch is not able to bear fruit from itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me. “I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him—this one bears much fruit, for apart from me you are not able to do anything. If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and dries up, and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

Some years ago I visited a Hindu temple located not far from Toronto. I stood before the altar area staring in silent amazement at the multitude of images of various deities, some of them very bizarre looking indeed. I had been there several minutes when I heard a gentle voice behind me say "God is One." I turned to meet the pundit (priest) of the temple. As he escorted me around the altar area he explained that while God is One, we in our finitude are unable to comprehend the fullness of God in a single "take". Each one of the "deities" before us was simply a different manifestation of God's Oneness. We Christians have done much the same with our trinity theory. Interestingly enough, the pundit was also a nuclear chemistry professor at nearby McMaster University.

Can you restate this because I do not get what you are trying to say.
Let's keep aside the multitude of christian beilefs like Trinity as one God. Sir, my question is how Jesus Christ himself believe about God's nature?

As an observant Jew, Jesus would have prayed several times a day "Sh'ma Ysrael, Adonai Elheinu, Adonai Echad."

So, this should be the belief that all Christians should have and differ from others.

Jesus said,
"You believe in God; believe also in me"

As to the demonic thing, yes many people believe this and I am not sure if they are right or wrong because I have never tested the Hindu gods to see if they pass the test in scripture or not. I do know that demons are real, does that help?

No need to test them as GOD already told us

Exodus 20:3
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

This issue is widely and hotly debated among Christians. I believe in God's justice but I believe even more strongly in God's compassion and forgiveness. I have met a Hindu man whose connection with God was so obvious that it was radiant. I simply cannot imagine a God who would reject such a person.

Did you share Jesus with him?

Was Jesus Christ among those "deities"? HE is the only pathway to the FATHER no "deities" can provide a pathway to heaven.

Jesus Christ himself was God. This is the fundamental Christian belief. We cannot "keep it aside." If someone doesn't believe that, then they are not Christian.

Its not ambiguous, but its just a starting point to understand something genuine.

John 17:3
Jesus said, "Now this is eternal life: that they know you[Father], the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent".

So, according to Lord Jesus Christ statement: Father is the only true GOD.

Sir, even you too replied that Jesus would have believed in this: "Sh'ma Ysrael, Adonai Elheinu, Adonai Echad."

What I am trying to say is: everything cannot become one GOD, which Lord Jesus Christ also testified. The one who is Existing from the ancient ancient days is always One true GOD of all.

Jesus Christ himself was God. This is the fundamental Christian belief. We cannot "keep it aside." If someone doesn't believe that, then they are not Christian.
Praise to the Lord Jesus Christ....
who am I to say at my Lord, the savior, that he is not god. Like the respected phrophet John the Baptist says I am also not worthy to untie the strap of Lord's sandal.

My trinity belief is different from your trinity belief, because I believe in Lord Jesus Christ words plainly.

Lord Jesus Christ is god because he was born of GOD, so all who believe in Jesus Christ will be born of GOD, and so we become gods.

who sanctifies you and me? Yes, its our Lord Jesus Christ. And the scripture says like this....

Hebrews 2:11
"For both the one[Jesus] who sanctifies and the ones[believers] who are sanctified are all from one[Father], for which reason he[Jesus] is not ashamed to call them brothers."

So, We and Christ has come from one Father, who is only true GOD of all.
