This my writing..Now read carefully this why Evangelist don’t want to have Public Debate with Hindus and that is what we as Hindus need to force them to do it .Force Evangelist to Debate with Hindus.This way you can be really saved in India..Public defeat of Evangelist is the Solution
Ever wanted to evangelize to a Hindu but don't know how to do it?
A lot of times while on earth you'll be faced with many different religions which all deviate the simple truth of the gospel and mainly their doctrine's concerning Jesus Christ! Sometimes you may be stuck trying to figure out what the real truth is behind Christianity and how to I get it out to one of my friends that I don't even understand why they are rejecting it. Well, if you are interested in possibly changing one of your friends lives who is a Hindu please read on.
Anyways the first thing that you should remember is that the number 1 problem between Hinduism and Christianity are the absolutes. In other words if you took away their Ghangas river it would be equivelant to taking away ..:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Israel.
Another thing that you should keep in mind when trying to evangelize to Hindus are the two types of barriers dealing with evangelizing to them. These include the Conceptual Barriers and the Theological Barriers. The Conceptual Barriers would include the following 5 things:
- Hindu concept of equality of religions
- Hindu terminology – different meanings
- Hindu attitude to exclusiveness
- Hindu persecution of Christians (true Christians are excluded)
- Their concept of Christianity ( they see Christianity as western and as music, etc. even though it really came from the east)

The Theological Barriers would include:
- Karma is incompatible with grace
- Brahman is incompatible with God
- Man as emanation is incompatible with man as created in the image of God.
- Illusory world is incompatible with the real world.
- Sin concept is incompatible with Biblical sin.
The next thing that you should keep in mind when trying to evangelize to Hindus are the right ways to evangelize to them and not offend them. These would include the following:
YOU SHOULD…
- be well versed (know their 4 sacred books)
- practice renunciation (you have t live in their houses. They have to see that none of the things from the western world you hold onto are not part of your Christianity.
- Define terms carefully (what does god mean… etc.)
- Contrast God with deities (this is what (Paul did in Acts 17)
Ok so you know a little bit about Hinduism so where do you begin when evangelizing to them? If I were you I would start right off the bat focusing on these four things in the following order:
- Explain grace not Karma
- Face up to absolute truth (motivating them to be intellectually honest)
- Focus on gospel not religion
- Admit that western forms are expendable
Finally if your running out of ways to share the gospel with a Hindu you should consider the 10 Commandments For Sharing the Gospel With Hindus. This would include:
- Make friends (1st, really make them your friends, by showing true friendship. Be prepared to give and receive help in practical ways(Jn. 4:17)
- Be hospitable. Invite them into your home
- Respect their customs and sensitives. Concerning food and drink, ask beforehand if they are vegetarian…
- Be modest in dress and reserved in manner.
- Recognize the importance of being a good listener.
- Build bridges not barriers (start with common ground)
- Avoid debate because they'll probably win.
- Present them with a copy of John or Luke.
- Pray with them
- Share your own personal testimony.
