Question
Whether Yahoa as stated in the Bible or the Hindu gods as stated in the Epics of Hindus(India) real Gods?

Answer
Dear Lai,

Thank you for your question. I regret that it took me so long to reply. I forgot to notify AllExperts.com that i am presently unavailable.  However, i will answer your question briefly.

Yahweh, the God defined in the Bible, became the man known as Jesus Christ. He is the only God.  Men have imagined many gods, and attributed divine status to many demonic spirits, but all of these are false gods, either imaginations or devils pretending to be more than they are.

The validity of the Bible is obvious to those who really study it rather than merely accept what critics say and write about it. My study of the Bible proved to me that it is supernatural in origin. Its prophecies and the fulfillment of them are extraordinarily precise. Its teachings impossibly consistent, even though recorded and compiled over thousands of years.  I cannot take the time to make a defense of the Bible in this email, but do tell you that my confidence in it as the Word of God is unlimited. I add to that my own encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ, in experiences explicitly defined in the Bible, and I do not hesitate to tell you that the gods of Hinduism are idols and The Lord Jesus Christ is Yahweh manifest in the flesh to be the Saviour of the world. He is the Only True God.

If you would like to discuss the with me further, please email me directly at
<readout@earthlink.net> and mention AllExperts in the "subject" line.  I will be unavailable until next Thursday.

Yours for Truth,

CR
