In the major religion of India which is Hinduism, a lot of Hindus worship their own gods or idols as I should say. This is very destructive and deceitful because these "gods" are just idols and they don't exist, but it is because they are created by man. Here are some scripture to back that up and show you that these "gods" are just idols. Habakkuk 2:18-20 "Of what value is an idol, since a man has carved it? Or an image that teaches lies? For he who makes it trusts in his own creation; he makes idols that cannot speak. Woe to him who says to wood, 'Come to life!' Or to a lifeless stone, 'Wake up!' Can it give guidance? It is covered with gold and silver; there is no breath in it. But the Lord is in his holy temple; let all the earth be silent before him." An idol has no value because it is hand carved and created by humans, we are trusting in something that we already made. Romans 1:21-25 says "For although they knew God, they neither glorified as God nor gave thanks to him, but in their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal men and birds and animals and reptiles. Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator-who is forever praised. Amen." So as you can see from this passage people are being deceived and being lied to by creating their own idols which is a "god" and chasing after them instead of chasing after their Creator, Jesus Christ who is to be praised forever and ever. Amen. When it said in the passage "images made to look like mortal men and birds and animals and reptiles. That is exactly what we see with the Hindu "gods". The Hindu "gods" that people worship are made to be men or people, they look like humans! Like the Lord Krishna in Hindu belief is a "god" with blue skin, and other "gods" have different colored skin, like green, blue etc. And the Hindu "god" Ganesh is a "god" made to be an animal. Just like it said in Scripture above in the book of Romans! Isaiah 44:9-11 says "All who make idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless. Those who would speak up for them are blind; they are ignorant, to their own shame. Who shapes a god and casts an idol, which can profit him nothing? He and his kind will be put to shame; craftsmen are nothing but men. Let them all come together and take their stand; they will be brought down to terror and infamy." Idols are just created things and people worship them as "gods". But the Lord Jesus Christ is the risen Savior. The one who died on the Cross for all of our sins and came back to life three days later. He is the one He claimed to be, the Savior of the world. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16. Repent of your sins and put your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, not those worthless idols. Praise Him forever and ever! Amen!!!
