Does Hinduism Teach a Personal God? The Kena Upanishad

Bridging Beliefs ·

2025/09/23

Some people claim that Hindu scriptures teach an impersonal God (Brahman or Ultimate Reality) as opposed to a personal Being who has a Will to interact and have a relationship with mankind.

2025/04/05

1) Challenging Traditional Interpretations: The video directly addresses the common theological arguments that Jesus's ability to forgive sins and raise the dead proves his divinity. It presents counterarguments, suggesting that these actions do not necessarily equate to Godhood, as similar actions are attributed to other figures in both the Old and New Testaments. 2) Forgiveness of Sins: The presenter analyzes biblical passages where Jesus forgives sins, and then compares those passage...

2025/03/02

A brief introductory discussion on the challenges with the claim of the oneness of religion, or the unity of religions. To claim that all religions come from the same source seems to be impossible to establish, given their foundational teachings (and even theologies) are so fundamentally different and even contradictory.
