I am a Christian that does beleive the Bible to be God's word of Truth. I do not hate a person because they do not believe as I do. I do pray for them, just as I think other religions probably pray for those that do not believe as they do, and if they don't then I would have a problem of wondering why they didn't, if they believe they are right. The reason I tell others about my faith in Jesus is because I truly believe in Heaven and Hell and that we will go to one or the other afther this life is over on earth. If they believe they are right I would think that they would care enough to pray and tell others so they would not the consequences either. To talk about my heavenly Father and His Son Jesus and what they have done for me is just as someone talking about their faith in whomever they believe in. It is just that because that we believe that there is only one way to heaven that we are condemned so much. Persons of other beliefs condemn us for believing our way. Just as anyone believes their way. How many ways are there to heaven for you? Does your belief, believe that we are wrong? If they believe that we are wrong then they are as closed minded as most claim that we are. I can only offer to you that it is not a religion that I believe in. I believe in God, and His word. I don't believe God lies and if I believe that then His word is the truth and the whole truth to me. I don't know what it is to you, but if you don't believe it to be the truth, then I still do not put you on a hate list or a dislike list. I still love you in Christ. We may not like each others personlaties but that is a like or dislike against the way we do things. It is not a direct hit against the person. We all have sins. Just because you or I sin does not mean that we still cannot like each other as people also. We may get in a disagreement or get upset with each other sometimes but, it can be worked out. Just think of it in your own family and friends. Don't they upset you sometimes yet, you still love them. That is how it is within my heart for everyone, and only God has put that there in me. Some people hold grudges for the rest of thier lives if someone disagrees with them but that is not God's way. If He did this no one would make it to heaven. He would just zap us all to hell and be done with us. But, He is a forgiving God. The only thing in the Bible that He says we will not be forgiven for is the blaspheme of the Holy Spirit. That is simply rejecting Him and His son. In His word, He tells us the only way to heaven. Now, it is up to us to beleive it or not. No one can force us to believe Him. Just as it is our decision to live our lives the way we do. We have the option to believe and do what we want to do, but their are consequences to all of our decisions. I for one would not want to force anyone to believe the way I do because a forced decision is no good. It has to be of our own free will. I pray that you understand what I am trying to say, as I am not trying to be condemning of anyone just helpful.
So, if you don't beleive the way I do, I still love you in Christ, but I believe if you are going to read on other eastern religions then you should read the Bible also and see. I have read on some of the other religions and with the Holy Spirit guiding me as I have read, I have not found them to be truth to me. I have talked to other people of other religions and the ones that I have talked to did not have the peace, love or forgiveness in their hearts that God has placed in mine. I have seen them in their unforgivness. They were quick to call names of people in thier sin. They turned on them and hurt a lot of people. That is one reason, one of the person's I know came back to Jesus, because she found them to be unforgiving and unloving. She said they were unlike Christian people that she knew that forgave and accepted her. They did not have an unconditional love about them, only conditional. If you did what they said to do then everything was ok. God's love forgives those that do wrong. This person had not even done anything to them either it was her past they were codemning her of and they continued to call her names, even though they claimed they loved her and said they forgave her, they didn't in their heart. Only to get what they wanted and then it was over and she was mud, or worse.
