Hinduism
"Karma"... and the "Cross"

Karma , moksha, atman, the Cross
The Essence of Christianity
Come to the Cross of Jesus Christ

Karma moksha, atman, the Cross

    The dream of every Hindu is Moksha, the final union of his soul (atman) with Brahman.

    The path to do this is to keep the moral laws (dharma), the more than 1,000 dos and don'ts of the Hindu core of laws... and Hinduism proclaims that man alone is the master of his own fate. Each person is responsible for his or her redemption from sin... even if it takes 10,000 reincarnations!... with so many gods, there is no merciful, compassionate God as in Christianity who can absolve man from sin by having faith that God has the power to do so.

    Karma is the record of good and evil deeds during the lifetime on earth. "The Law of Karma", the law of "cause and effect", proclaims that whatever good or bad you do in this life is what you are going to be in the next life... and all the gods can do nothing about it... because it is the law of Nature, independent of the decree of the gods... it is an inexorable "cosmic law".

    Christianity has the same principle in relation to the after death when states that "whatever some one sows, that is what he will reap", either in this life or after death (Gal.6:7-8).  

    The Hindu system says you can not pay in one lifetime the bad effects of all bad deeds (of all sins, we say in Christianity)... and it is true... Christianity believes that all the good works done in 20,000 lifetimes can not erase one single  bad karma, on single mortal sin against God, because one mortal sin is an infinite bad deed, since it was a bad action made to the infinite being of God, and only an infinite power can erase it... but each and all sins can be paid and erased just by having faith in Jesus Christ... this is the Christian faith!.

The essence of Christianity is not "to know" about Christ but "to be" another Christ, with Christ in the Christian and the Christian in Christ, in his Mystical Body, in his church... and Christ is God, the Absolute, the real Brahman who became a real human person, not just a hero of an imaginary novel.

    1- The Cross: Jesus on the Cross redeemed us, He paid for all our sins for all our bad karma, we just have to appropriate this free payment by believing in Jesus Christ and doing what He asks, mainly to be baptized in His church.

    2- The Resurrection: But the Cross was not the end... After His Resurrection Jesus Himself wants to live in us, here, on earth. We were saved from sin to live on earth with the love and joy and peace of Jesus in us, I no longer live, but Christ lives in me (Gal.2:20). A love and joy and peace that nothing and nobody can take away (Rom.8:37-39).
    Give thanks with joy to God always and in any circumstance as proclaimed in Eph.5:20 and emphasized in the Preface of every Holy Mass, Indeed it is "just" and "necessary", our "duty" and our "salvation" to give thanks to God always and in all circumstances. There are no more words in the dictionary to emphasize it!
    The life of a Christian on earth is a  A Wedding Feast! , as proclaimed in at least 20 quotations in the Bible. In this Wedding Feast each one of us is invited, and not just as any guest, but as the "Bride of the Lamb". This is the message of the Cana wedding feast in John 2, the first miracle of Jesus.
    With problems like in Cana, but always with the joy and love and excitement of a bride in her wedding feast. In success or failure, good or bad health, always with the joy and love and peace of Jesus in me that nobody and nothing can take away.

    3- The  Ascension: Still more: The work of Jesus on earth did not end with the Cross nor with the Resurrection, but with His Ascension to Heaven: He wants us to go to eternal Heaven, like Him!... Christianity is the religion of joy on earth, but still more, in Heaven for one eternity, without the need for any reincarnation, because Jesus paid for absolutely all or sins, all our bad karma.

    Suffering?
    Yes, many problems and sufferings, but with the joy and excitement of a "mother in labor" Jesus tells us in Jn.16:21. Because Each suffering is to bring up a new life, either in us or in others:   
        1- In us... because each suffering is like an injection of God to purify us, as proclaimed in Hebrews 12.
        2- In others... like the sufferings of redemption of Christ or Mary, of Peter or Paul... Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I do my share on behalf of His body, which is the church, in filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions. (Colos.1:24)... yes, with my cross I am a co-redeemer with Christ, it is my best evangelization, to help others to go to Heaven. An old sick woman is not a burden, but the best treasure of home.
    "Suffering" is a great revolution of Jesus in the two mountains:
    1- In the Mount of the Beatitudes, proclaiming the "poor happy", the "hunger happy", those who "mourn happy", the "persecuted happy"...
    2- At Calvary it was not with words, but with deeds, with his flesh... the greatest success of humankind!...
    IT CAN BE DONE... CHRIST AND I, ABSOLUTE MAJORITY!, I can do everything through him who gives me strength.  (Phil.4:13).

 Come to the Cross of Jesus Christ:

    Believe in Jesus Christ, and trust Him... if you have faith in Jesus Christ all your bad deeds, all your bad karma will be totally erased , right now!... you don't need any more reincarnations...because Jesus paid for them in his Cross... it is as if you owe one million dollars and some millionaire pay them for you... now you owe nothing... really nothing!... there is "power" in Jesus... infinite "power" to erase all bad deeds of 20,000 lifetimes... because he is God!.
... and if your gods do not have this power, your religion is a religion "without power".
    What Hinduism needs is an agent from God, who comes to earth and pays for all our bad actions and makes us free and holy... and you already have it!... Jesus is not only an agent of God, he is God himself, the only one "Brahman", the only one "Bhagvan", the only one "Ishvara", who incarnated in the womb of Virgin Mary, became flesh, and died in a Cross with love, to pay for all our bad deeds, for all our bad karma, to make us free of sin, and to give us a new glorious life on Earth and eternally in Heaven without any reincarnation.

    Lord Jesus, I believe in you, that you are the only one real God incarnated as a real human person to pay for all my sins, for all my bad karma, at the Cross...   and I will be baptized in your church as soon as possible. Thank you, my Jesus, I adore you , my God and Savior.
