No Christ's free gift is his death on the cross: John 3:16- For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. Also: John 14:6- Jesus answered, I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. That means Christ, not Buddha, not Mahvira, not Gautama. Christ is no avatar come to teach the principles of Hinduism, he is God in flesh. Read John 1:1-5. Christ also said that no other way can bring one to Christianity except him. Matthew 7:13,14 - Enter through the Narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
I may be quoting many verses here but I want to illustrate fully that Hinduism and Christianity are not the same. To claim so is wrong for either religion.
No One person can be called the God-man
Christ already has stated he is God made flesh. Read the beginning of both John and Matthew for the account of his birth and the fact he is God's son made flesh. Christianity is based on the fact there is only one God and only one sinless person in the world, Christ. There is no list of other sinless people. Righteous yes, blameless yes, but not sinless. You obviously believe quite strongly in Vipassana and Hinduism. However, please do not include a religion which has no place in it there.
If you want to assert your opinions further, join a course of Vipassana for ten days, then speak, else remain as you were.
I do not have any desire nor do I need to take such a course to. Just because an individual may not agree with your opinions or viewpoints concerning Hinduism does not mean they need to take a course in Vipassana in order to be considered worthy of conversing with you on the topic. Such an idea is veering towards becoming your stated "frog in the pond mentality".
