nope, i was calling you a liar, you invented the hindu part of your story

The fear of God is the beginning of all Wisdom. Your cousin simply needs some guidance.



Tell me who this Hindu person is and I'll do some further digging by asking them some questions. Is it someone in this thread?

I am really trying to figure out which kind of evidence you are open to. So I will take another approach and go back to creation.

Consider this, the sun is approximately 400x larger in diameter than the moon. The sun is also about 400x farther away from Earth than the moon is. Because of this design, the moon and the sun appear about the same size in the sky. This is what allows Solar Eclipses and Lunar Eclipses to be possible. This exact design of mathematics, size and distance really destroys the argument of coincidence. It's almost like there was a creator who measured the distance and designed it very purposefully. Did you see the Total Lunar Eclipse on the March 3, 2026 from New Zealand? If not you can wait until the July 22, 2028 for the next Total Lunar Eclipse. Think about it the next time you see an Eclipse.

You asked me to imagine that someone was an alcoholic and was cured because they prayed to christian god. I countered with what happens when some other religious person makes the same or similar claim (Hindu or any of the thousands other religions). I've given you 2 scenarios they both say the exact same thing the only difference they prayed to a different god. Will you believe them equally or are you going to willfully ignore other religious anecdotes in favor of your own?

Lets not dodge this as you are abandoning every single argument and fleeing to the next one.

I do not accept either claim automatically.

If a Christian says healed them, and a Hindu says or healed them, I treat both claims the same way: personal testimony alone is not sufficient proof.

So yes, I apply the same standard to all religions.

That does not mean all religions are equally true or false. It means anecdotal experiences, by themselves, are not enough to establish supernatural conclusions.

That is why the discussion about Christianity is not based solely on “someone felt better after praying,” but on the broader historical case for and the resurrection.

So to answer your question plainly: no, I do not accept Hindu miracle claims simply because someone reports them, and I do not accept Christian miracle claims solely on that basis either.

Galatians 5:16
[16] Let me emphasize this: As you yield to the dynamic life and power of the Holy Spirit, you will abandon the cravings of your self-life.

there is no report of a hindu claiming to praying to his god and being healed. addone just made that part up. ('atheist magic, lying)

No, she needed to not have pathetic adults scare her into believing she's going to be tortured by god.

adults tell her not to lie or steal or else?

No, she was told that God has a set of rules, and breaking them can result in being tortured for eternity.

It's not "if you do these things god will torture you" it's more like "there are things you can do that will result in torture, but we aren't going to tell you exactly what you are and aren't allowed to do"

That mindset pictures God as hiding the rules and waiting to punish people. Scripture paints a different picture. God is holy and takes sin seriously, but He is also merciful, patient, and actively reaching toward people with grace.

Here are some passages that directly correct that fear-based view.

John 3:16–17

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.”

2 Peter 3:9

“The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise... but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.”

Romans 5:8

“But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

Ephesians 2:8–9

“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”

Micah 6:8

“He has told you, O man, what is good…”
Scripture repeatedly says God does reveal what He asks of people — love God, love others, walk humbly, pursue justice and mercy.

Matthew 22:37–40
Jesus summarized God’s commands clearly:

“Love the Lord your God…” and “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
“On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”

1 John 4:18

“There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, for fear has to do with punishment…”

We have a loving God who loves unconditionally and we as his creation have the gift of free will. We can live our life how we choose. We were never meant to live apart from him.
