Me :Good Morning
CP :Morning, nice meeting you
Me : what's your name
CP :David Suresh
Me :David Christian name , suresh is a Hindu name. Are you a convert ?
CP :No iam a born Christian , my father got liberated
CP :those who worship Idols are sinners, they are Satan's my father got liberated from committing Sins
Me :So you guys don't worship Idols ?
CP :No never
Me :Why do you have statue of Jesus Christ in each church & house.Aren't those Idols?
Me : How can God die? Why should He die for your sins? Does He have no power to free you from your sins without suffering Himself ?
CP : you don't understand
CP : you should read Bible
Me : Faith is not enough, you have to stop sinning. How many times does he have to die for you before you stop sinning
CP : No one can claim that he is sinless
CP : Yes I agree
Me : We should be truthful, merciful to other living beings, keep our minds and deeds pure,practice austerity. All religions should teach these basic principles.These are the 4 pillars of religion
Me : The Vedas says that there are four sins which we shall always avoid, otherwise they will destroy those four pillars of religion.
CP : what 4 sins
Me : Meat eating, illicit sex, gambling, intoxication.
CP : why meat eating ?
Me : It's sinful
CP :But that refers to killing of a man.
CP : Many Hindus are eating meat too
Me : Otherwise we are sinners, and we are not going to develop mercifulness towards other living beings, and what to speak of loving God.
CP :Still I think that the main point is to have faith. If I believe in Jesus – that is enough.
CP : We have only one God
Me : Who ?
CP : Jesus
Me : But Jesus says that he's son of God , then who is God ?
Me : So there are three God's ?
CP : No they are all one
Me : seems like a big confusion
CP : there is even more confusion in Hinduism , there are so many God's
Me : The ones who are confused are only the ignorant people who do not read the scriptures. The Vedas say God is one, there are no two Gods
Me : Those are Devatas superior to us and they have different powers, abilities and different bodies. The same thing you will find in the Bible, the angels – humans with the wings.
Me : No, in the Bhagavad-gita God speaks Himself, and the Bible is written by so many people like Paul, Mark, Luke etc.
Me : Lord Krishna says in .BhagavadGita there is no truth superior to Him, and that one should surrender to Him only.
Me : Jesus said that he is the son of God, and Krishna says: aham bija pradah pitah I am the seed giving father.
Me : Iam just learning , by the way how can you do violence in the kitchen & talk of love & peace in the living room ?
CP : Hmm. You are making me think. You have a point. Visit me home one day. ( hands over his visiting card )
Me : Sure I will 🙏
