What is the difference between what Christians say about the afterlife, and what is said in Eastern religion?
Christians believe in an afterlife, and coming face-to-face with God (judgment day) after death. After then it is off to heaven or hell. The Hindus believe in the same thing, except they believe that being born and dying happens to us many times. Hinduism agrees with Christianity on the existence of an afterlife, but it says that we are born and die over and over. It says that after you go to heaven or hell, you eventually are reborn again on earth until you achieve Enlightenment or Christ consciousness. The Christian religion can fit right into the eastern tradition, like a piece of a puzzle. All the powers that Jesus is reported to have; walking on water, raising the dead, materializing objects, these are all powers said in Hinduism to be possessed by a true Spiritual Master.
