Religious freedom and the dissemination of religious materials are a reality today due to scientific and technological advancements. The writer agrees with the following statement of the apostle Paul Kung (Rom. 10:9) and bases it as the cornerstone of the Christian faith. All of this will be based on the belief that the meaning of the resurrection and the earliest encounters with the Living Lord illuminates the meaning of our encounters with Him and other faiths.
The writer suggests that the history of Christian missions and the recipients of the gospel was not a simple one. The writer suggests that this should be taken into account in any analysis and evaluation of the fruits of the encounter. The purpose of this chapter is primarily to take into account broadly the major movements that have marked the historical encounter between Jesus Christ and neo-Hinduism.
The second step will be to provide a quick sketch of the various models of Jesus' personality as developed by the protagonists of neo-Hinduism. The above categories assert something fundamental about the reality of the encounter between Jesus Christ and Hinduism.
HINDU MODELS OF JESUS CHRIST
One of the outstanding cases of this is that of Mahatma Gandhi received much inspiration from the Sermon on the Mount. The Spirit of the Sermon on the Mount competes almost on an equal footing with the Bhagavadgita for the dominance of my heart. This understanding of Christ in one section of the Brahmo Samaj may not quite come close to the Christian understanding of Him.
None of the creeds mention Christ as Savior, but all speak of God as Savior. Nowhere in the Gospels of Ramakrishna do we find a sustained discussion of the person of Christ. This refusal of Radhakrishnan to recognize the Christian claim of Christ's uniqueness is due to several reasons.
First, because of the belief that there can be no complete manifestation of the Absolute in. In his later writings there is hardly any mention of the cross and the resurrection of Christ. Jesus Christ as an example of a man who has become God' contradicts the testimony of the New Testament.
To ignore this is to disturb the integrity of the biblical faith in God and Jesus Christ.
CHAPTER TWO
A number of interventions raised serious objections to the recognition of 'God's creative work' in the religious experience of people of other faiths. In Christian belief, the Jesus Christ event is at the center of the divine plan. This is by no means a new one – of the historical Jesus and the Christ of faith.
For faith requires certainty of the identity of the pre-Easter Jesus and the glorified Christ. This view coincides with the view of the presence of Christ in the religious traditions. IS becoming more urgent and more radical in the current context of religious pluralism and the mixing of the different traditions.
Although the Corinthians accepted the resurrection of Jesus, they doubted the resurrection of the dead (the general resurrection at the end of time). But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen; But a distinction must immediately be made, a distinction between the resurrection of Jesus and the appearances of the Risen One to the disciples.
Whatever happened to Jesus during the burial and apparition of the exalted Lord is not described in the canonical Gospels. One is the unvarnished reporting of the weaknesses and unbelief of the apostles in light of what happened. Perhaps an even more striking proof of the truth of the resurrection is the earthquake that occurred in the life of Paul of Tarsus.
Another powerful testimony to the reality of the resurrection is the very content of the Christian message. The fact that there was a church is also a tremendous testimony to the truth of the resurrection. For example, it has been suggested that Jesus was not really dead and was resurrected in the coolness of the grave.
Moltmann (1990) insists that we think holistically about mission in the name of the crucified and risen Christ. If the soul is immortal, then what is the meaning of Jesus' bodily resurrection. The Christian hope is for the final resurrection of the dead, with body and soul inseparable.
Faith in the resurrection of the body keeps the church connected and committed to the care of God's world and keeps us from escaping.
CONCLUSION
In this study the writer tried to show that Jesus is the Christ, since he became the Christ by his resurrection. Jesus' resurrection seals his entire life with the absolute seal of divine approval. The writer in his last chapter says that there is no Christian faith without the resurrection. He also says that there can be a great ethical religion with Jesus of Nazareth at the center, but that is not biblical faith without the resurrection.
For the researcher, the resurrection is beyond history and therefore beyond historical investigation. To strengthen the relevance of. Finally, for the author, the resurrection message has driven the Christian church to a process of evangelization. 34; Saving faith is resurrection faith and resurrection faith is saving faith." The author's purpose was to show that religious dialogue and cooperation cannot be compromised.
There are many things that are acceptable between different religions, but the resurrection event is the starting point. The Gospels cannot explain the resurrection; it is the resurrection that alone explains the gospels.
