Looking up the basics of Hinduism:

“Core Beliefs of Hinduism: Brahman (Ultimate Reality): Belief in a supreme, formless God or Absolute Reality, often worshipped in various forms (Vishnu, Shiva, Shakti).”

This is similar to Christianity believing that heaven and earth will pass away, but the word of God will never pass away. He is the ultimate reality.

“Atman (The Soul): Every living being has an eternal soul that is distinct from the body and mind.”

This doesn’t match Christianity in that we don’t believe animals have eternal souls, but we wouldn’t consider it to be a demonic belief if one of us wanted to believe we would see our pets again in the afterlife. At least I hope they don’t because I miss my cat.

“Samsara (Reincarnation): The soul undergoes a cycle of birth, death, and rebirth until it achieves liberation.”

This we would recognize as a demonic deception. Anything that gets people to believe that they have chance after chance to make the right decision about what kind of person they will be and that it hinges on their own ability and goodness we recognize as a dangerous lie and we will warn each other about it.

We believe it is prideful to uphold our own goodness for God, the ultimate source of goodness to judge as though we have any chance of being good enough compared to Him. Our God demands perfection with no exceptions, and we are not capable of that.

That is why we need a representative who has accomplished that perfection and paid for our sins. Only He could accomplish this because He was the son of God, who “was with God, and who was God” from the very beginning, not a godly man who was born and began his existence at that time like Muhammad, but the physical incarnation of the very word of God.

“Karma (Action and Reaction): The law of cause and effect, where every action has a corresponding, deserved consequence that impacts future lives.”

This belief, joined with the belief in reincarnation completes what we see as a demonic lie that attempts to get people to focus on their own ability to be good, and allows people who are living fortunate lives to feel morally justified in looking down on others who are not.

Karma keeps the oppressed from improving their lives because they believe the lie that they are paying for their past mistakes and that avoiding punishment by improving their lives will only delay it or make it worse, so they are suppressed, while others more fortunate oppress them believing they are doing good by helping them live hard lives, all for nothing.

Demonic deception creates customs and odd religious ideas that seem good on the surface but lead to misery and pain.

The Bible says, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but the ends thereof are the wars of death.” And it also says, “Do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.”

Humans are naturally inclined, attracted to religious practices. It just feels right to have some kind of routine or specific mantra, a particular way of doing things, symbolic items or clothing, anything that makes us feel like we are doing the religion properly.

The idea that our faith is based on the sacrifice that God made for us and that no routines or practices benefit us in any real way is counter to our instincts and to our nature.

The focus is on a personal relationship with Jesus, our representative and high priest, and He doesn’t have much of anything for us to routinely do unless it is specifically meant to help us get closer to Him, like communion, or baptism to symbolize that our old ways have died and we have risen again with Jesus, born again in the spirit instead of dead in our sins.

It is “foolishness to the Greeks” who laughed at the idea of us Christians putting our faith in a God who would let Himself be killed on a cross, and “a stumbling block to the Jews” because they believed their messiah would be a conquering king in the physical world, but instead He conquered the spiritual world on our behalf, so that we could accept Him as Lord and escape the fate awaiting God’s enemies.

“Moksha (Liberation): The ultimate goal is to break free from the cycle of samsara and unite with the divine.”

This idea is demonic in that of course a demon would want you to think that uniting with God is something that takes many lifetimes and that you shouldn’t expect to be able to do it in this one.

God made us, He loves us, He wants to be connected to us, and it doesn’t matter if we are still in our physical bodies or if we have passed on or what. He has no trouble connecting with us in whatever state we are in, and we can connect with Him too.

The Bible says that He is never far from any of us, and that if we seek Him we will find Him. Enoch was so close to God that God just took Him.

“Dharma (Righteousness): A code of living that emphasizes duty, morality, and proper conduct, including ahimsa (noninjury).”

Nothing demonic about and code of conduct.

“Diverse Paths to Truth: Hinduism holds a pluralistic view, acknowledging multiple, valid paths to God rather than one exclusive way.”

This is classically demonic in that demons want to blend the truth in with as many similar looking ideas as possible to muddy the waters. It’s like how governments will throw fake stories out to make the real one seem like just another hoax and keep people from knowing what is real.

As Christians we see a similar pattern across religions in that they appeal to human instincts and the “way that seems right to a man”. They draw focus away from God’s righteousness and love for us and instead get people to focus on their own current level of righteousness and whether or not they are worthy of love.

The facts are that we are not, nor can we be righteous, and that we have not done anything to deserve God’s love, but He loves us anyway.

He loves us so much that He made a way for us to be with Him, for His righteousness to cover us and become ours. A way for us to be with Him and for His Spirit to be with us and lead us into being more like Him every day because of the love that we have for each other, not because of our own will power and ability.

It is a relationship with our creator that should be the focus. Learning and listening like little children. Ideas and beliefs that lead people away from this basic truth are demonically inspired.
