I've met at least two Christians who began reading the Bible to prove Christianity to be untrue. Both ended up finding a life changing relationship with Jesus Christ and are strong Christians today!
I was born a Hindu, converted to Christianity & went to service 4 times/wk. I had to leave the church environment for a while so I started reading the Bible myself (rather than a preacher doing the reading for me). I read some good things, some ordinary things and tons of bad things that is in the Bible. It became clear to me that this book is not Devine work. I denounced that fake Christian’s god 54 years ago - no regrets whatsoever.
@@dewansingh9325 May be you have greatest, honest and godly leaders, teachers, governments who never lied to you, who promised you every great job, promised you never to increase your taxes and told you that you don’t have to pay rent, eat free food wherever you go, that you will be the greatest Indian PM ever, that your leaders will give you bars and bags of pure gold and then that you have no need to work because they will give your private islands, yachts, planes, helicopters, palaces and several properties of your own. It is no wonder that you find Lord Jesus Christ boring because He never promised you any such material goods on earth but eternal heaven where nobody can steal from you.
I come from a Sikh background and one day I was praying and heard the voice of the Lord and fell in love. I’m a Christian now and the Lord has done so much for me and my family! My family does not understand!
You were playing and you hear the voice of the Lord. How were you praying and what were you praying about when you heard the Lord's voice? Tell your family exactly how you prayed and what you prayed about, maybe they will receive the Lord through his voice or his touch or just his presence.
This is probably a strange thing to say but I am fairly into conservative politics and had become very interested in Vivek Ramaswamy (probably would have voted for him if he hadn't already dropped out). He is a 1st gen American from India and a Hindu. Its been really interesting to hear his experiences with Christianity and to hear him defend why Christians should vote for him. Anyway, last night I had a dream (and I don't dream often at all). Don't remember all of the specifics but he was under attack in my dream. All day I have had the urge to pray for him. That Jesus would rescue him from attack and that he would see the love of Jesus and realise that Jesus is the one who created him. Not sure if seeing this video about a "Hindu's" conversion to Christianity in my feed on same day is coincidence or not, but I appreciate this interview and urge people to pray for those who don't know Jesus.
I enjoy occasionally visiting local Sikh temple at lunch time after church. I have rented twice from Sikhs. Ha very not gotten into religious discussions. I pray for them.
Vivek and his family are in my regular prayers. May God hear our prayers in agreement that this proponent of the truth will recognize and be embraced by the Truth, whose name is Jesus.
I pray for all Hindus to find Christ as well as Muslims and all lost people. Please pray for my friend Bibha as she's deeply entrenched in this pagan religion.
I love Vivek, he's brilliant. I love his calling out mainstream media's manufactured narratives lies and slander. Good thought. I will pray for Vivek and his family. So easy to love him. He is admirably courageous. He's a good boy. I was raised in immorality and corruption form my early years. My earliest memories a gross promiscuity. God is kind to those far away. Especially the broken hearted and the broken. I admire Vivek.
I will pray for him, yes. Like him a lot....So wish that he would be chosen as a vice president if Trump would win...with God's grace... Vivek is in line with him... A good man, better than Trump, in my opinion, but perhaps not as known yet and trusted... I so pray for his full conversion...
Thanks for sharing your experience. I love hearing about others' journeys. I am an X Mormon, I finally broke free in my 40's. My walk with the lord has been and is a continuous process. Hearing others helps strengthen my own testimony.
@@rossix1851 It's funny you say that. Sometimes I realize that my vocabulary and the things that I was taught are often in conflict with true biblical doctrine. I would love to know the word of God and true Christian theology better than I do as the Bible is treated secondary to the blasphemous "Book of Mormon" Mormons bearing their testimony it is to declare what they know to be true, a sort of allegiance to the Mormon religion.
Keep reading the Word of God, be careful WHO you listen to, ALWAYS TAKE IT BACK TO THE BIBLE! You are doing exactly what you need to do..study the Word, learn , pray, and Keep Jesus Christ, the One and only Lord God and Savior! If I could suggest my Bible teachers..Gary Hamrick, Skip Heitzig, …they teach Book by book, verse by verse. God bless, friend!
So good to hear as I’ve found those in Mormon & Jehovah Witness institution to be the least open minded & hearted, even more than staunch atheists or new agers. Glad you broke free but now don’t get trapped by religious Christian dogma attached/idolising $$.
Loved this interview! I came to faith at 18. Like Nijay, I was messed up and knew it. I don't think it has to be that dramatic for everyone. But I do think individuals must come to a recognition of their sinfulness and the need for God's forgiveness in Christ.
Between budism, Hinduism and Christianity there are no any differences. They also worship human,idols,dolls,animals, in Christianity people also worship in the same, they worship before A human, 3 gods, they don't even know what they are doing, both they call Jesus prophet as a son of God and they call him as God. 😂
@@meherrempireliyev2956How are Hindu Buddhist and Christian bodies alike? Go and read your Dharam Granth. There are 33 crore Gods and Goddesses in Hindu religion, right? How many gods and goddesses have you been named among the 33 crore gods and goddesses? 😂
Love hearing Nijay speak. He was honest, vulnerable, articulate, thoughtful, and more. In my opinion he is a very intelligent well spoken person, contrary to maybe his feelings early on. Nijay, so happy you found your resting place. Thank you for sharing.
I had the privilege of taking a New Testament class from Nijay in seminary. It is truly wonderful to hear his story, as I was too busy to hear much of it back then. Sean, you should have him talk about Galatians and the gospel of grace some time. He is a brilliant scholar and is great at making his studies of the bible clear and accessible.
Great for Nijay but every way leads to the Ultimate truth. Nice subjective experience but this guy has a half baked understanding of Hinduism and now wants to turn this into an objective argument that Jesus is the only way.

historians consider the Goa Inquisition the most merciless and cruel ever developed. It was a machinery of death. A large number of Hindus were first converted and then persecuted from 1560 all the way to 1812! Over that period of 252 years, any man, woman, or child living in Goa could be arrested and tortured for simply whispering a prayer or keeping a small idol at home. Many Hindus -- and some former Jews, as well -- languished in special Inquisitional prisons, some for four, five, or six years at a time
@Govind_hind_sanatan Yes, it was done by the Portuguese Catholic church. That is not Christian. It's impossible to force people to become Christian. They committed murder for their own pleasure. It was satanic, not Christ like. People have and will always use Christianity to commit atrocities. It doesn't mean Christianity isn't true it just means there are bad people out there, as the Bible says.
You're right. Church leaders along with the kings were responsible for the torture and killing. Religion became a political tool, as it still is for some.@@sally9352
@@Govind_rana500I am a Manglorean Catholic, a descendent of the people who fled the Goan Inquisition. The Inquisition never affected Hindus, rather it affected the Catholic Christian converts who willingly converted but did not let go of a few of their previous hindu customs and continued to practice those in the church. Your opinion regarding Hindus being forcibly converted on a massive scale is at best hogwash.

I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation! Christians are often blamed for being too pushy. My only explanation is the fact that when you become a believer, you are filled with so much joy, that you want others to feel that same Joy! You want to tell the story how the spirit entered your life and made you feel so complete and so full of happiness! You simply want to share the tremendous love and caring that has come into your life. I can't apologize about it, I just want you to be filled with joy and happiness as well!
Happiness, joy, soul, and spirit can not be described but only experienced. Christ or Krish (Krishna) or any other name are names of the same spirit that is omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent.
@@americanatheart110sorry, Krishna's life is way far away from Christ's. Christ is the omnipotent n omnipresent God. None can equal Him. Please try to know about Christ before equating with Krishna (for, I have read widely about Krishna too) and I know my Bible very well...

@christinaramesh6963 What ever u think! But keep in mind, every other person also thinks like u, i.e. for example, someone who thinks Krishna is the only omnipotent and omniscient, etc., similarly, a Muslim thinks Allaha is the only God. Way u say is only ur hunger is true and not others or only ur mother is the best but not others. U have not seen or met Jesus, then how can u be sure he even existed? The same is Krishna. What we all believe and pray is the Supreme Conciousness or the Spirit. Jesus and Krishna are fully 100% aware of it. U and I are not. Lord Jesus may bless u abundantly.

You can ask The Lord Jesus Christ to reveal himself to you. Ask humbly and be persistent and he will show you the way. Having faith is a gift in itself, so don’t be discouraged if you feel that you have a hard time believing at first. Ask God the Father for more faith ❤ God Bless.
You know those things you've done in your life, secretly. You don't want those things yelled from a rooftop for all the world to hear. The believers sins have been blotted out, and IF you BELIEVE in the one true JESUS, you will escape the SECOND death, ( aka the lake of 🔥 fire)!!
We all face doubts. It’s part of renewing our mind and processing the new life in Jesus. I encourage you to continue reading the Bible. Get the knowledge into your head and as you read and pray, the Holy Spririt will bring understanding, and comfort in the Truth of God’s word!
Most of us go through periods of doubts. Find a fellow believer who is knowledgeable in the area you have questions in. Pray for guidance. Read your Bible. For me, periods of doubts have ultimately served to strengthen my faith, and oftentimes by causing me to reevaluate what I thought I knew, resulting in me discovering greater truths about Jesus. Find what it is that is causing you to doubt Jesus and ask yourself why. Then see if Jesus has an answer.
My brother, please look at archaeology. Ezekiel and prophecies of Tyre, and how Alexander the Great scraped it to the bedrock and threw it into the sea. Or the sulphur and salt found around where Sodom used to be. About the inscriptions of Nebuchadnezzar. And Daniel 11 and Antiochus IV. And Erastus of Corinth. And much much more. Please, no blind faith is needed. You believe, now you study. Mike Winger, Frank Turek, askcliffe, Skip Heitzig and more are good teachers. They are all very careful with Scripture and show their work. And of course, check everything they say against the Bible, they are only men. God Bless your curiosity. Let you be hungry for knowledge of our Lord, and rest in comfort of certainty.
That's ok, I am glad that you are watching this video. Testimonies can be very encouraging. Read your Bible and pray that God help you to see and hear him. Satan wants to fuel your doubts, rebuke him. Don't give I'm a foothold. You are the temple of the Living God, defend yourself in the name of Jesus!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Nijay's problem is that his parents never sat down and explained to him the Hindu philosophy. There's a lot of depth & wisdom in Hinduism. It takes a good teacher or dedicated self-study of the core Hindu scriptures to understand its principles. Nijay is not unique in facing this problem. Most of our parents' generation was like his parents. They never explained the rationale behind Hindu customs to their children. The reason being that for a majority of them this knowledge was not passed on to them by their parents either. When you cannot reason or connect with something logically - then disillusionment follows. You've to realize that India suffered repeated invasions, fatal attacks on its culture, colonization, proselytization, persecution of its people to the point that they were made to look down upon their own faith/culture for 800-1000 years. It was tragic because the Indian culture was always respectful of all religions. This shakes the foundation of a civilization. Yet it survived, because Hinduism is so deep & profound. Hinduism is not a religion, where an External God is worshipped like the Abrahamic faiths. It is a path of Self-enquiry. It questions human existence. It teaches spirituality to look inwards and transcend the sorrow which results from material existence. Its goals are Equanimity, Compassion, and to discover the Divinity within you. For a mundane person this will not become clear, unless you take up a serious study of the Hindu principles. We are Blessed because of the Information age!!! Our generation is better situated. Now, all Hindu scriptures, their translations, commentaries are easily accessible to us. Whenever there is a question in our mind, the answer is one click away. After having read the Hindu texts myself, I for one can very confidently say that once you've studied the ancient wisdom of Hindu philosophy and start practicing it, the connection with the Supreme Consciousness is inevitable. One would never need to look outside or explore other faiths. I'm truly proud of my heritage.
Wow couldnt say it better. Truly if one understands sanatan there is nothing else to understand. You understand all religions and great souls and their messages. You start respecting everyone.

Great story. The Gupta family is a big one in India. The majority of them are intellectuals and very successful, Your Dad is not the only one who admired and respected Jesus. I remember I went to a Staples store to make copies of the famous Shroud of Turin the attendant that helped me was Hindu with a red dot on his forehead, after the copies were made he looked at the picture put both his hands together and bowed to the Holy Face of Jesus and told me no charge for the copies (20 copies total). I was a bit shocked as I tried to understand his reaction. This shows how respected and powerful our Lord is.
That's the difference. We respect all enlightened people. And you demonize all other and try to prove them devil. Think who got the real teaching from God.

Exclusivity is the crux of abrahamic doctrines and none of the teachings in the so-called holy Books are practical or make sense - all childish 'my way or no way' rants, full of warnings of eternal hellfire for non-compliance and entry to Kingdom of heaven on taking exclusive membership! Jesus and Muhammad followers - as per their religious Books have invaded, looted, subjugated, converted and destroyed hundreds of civilizations since the 2 millenia and now their offsprings talk about wisdom with the same ideology that tortured and killed their ancestors. Jesus couldn't save himself, but can save all of humanity who praise him. Can it get more childish? Jesus forgives his murderers, but gives eternal hell to those who refuse to believe him as ultimate saviour - so ridiculously hilarious and tragic at the same time as billions believe in this crap. Christianity WAS CREATED BY JEWESS HELENA, THE MOTHER OF ROMAN EMPEROR CONSTANTINE THE GREAT IN 325 AD WHEN SHE COOKED UP THE BIBLE, TORAH, CHRISTIANITY AND JESUS AT THE FIRST COUNCIL OF NICEA.

He creates all of us from a sperm, he makes us Human, he gives us Abilities which were disable to do something while we were in our mother's inside. In short. Don't make fun of God with the mouth which Allah Has created. Stay peace and positive.

I thanks the Almighty GOD for what He is doing by bringing people to Himself through our Lord Jesus Christ Amen to Him alone be all the glory in the name of Jesus Christ Amen 💖🙏🙌
a deeply spiritual and deeply educated Hindu rooted in Vedic knowledge, when he studies the Gospels and the life of Christ (not Paul), will realize that Hinduism and Christ (not Christianity) are NOT in opposition with each other, and he will gladly embrace Christ and His Gospel without having to abandon his culture and spiritual roots. too bad Nijay Gupta did not have such background, so he does not realize this truth.
Christ is the Son of God. Christ is in opposition to Hindu because he is not just a man, he is the Son of God. This has nothing to do with Paul. This is the truth, this is the reality. Truth and facts don't care about your feelings, nor about your culture, nor about your roots.
It always amazes me to hear that most people on earth are not even aware of WHO GOD ALMIGHTY IS when the signs of a God that is ALIVE is all around us to see. God -Yahweh cannot be shared with other "gods"
Thank you for this beautiful testimony ,Jesus still open blind eyes,,my family n i were staunch hindus ,through God's divine intervention,have no regrets, watching here from Guyana in South America,very powerful message,will be praying for your parents ,never give up on them ,i was saved when i was 16 ,my brother was saved n influenced us for the King dom ,my parents were saved when they were in their seventies my dad's eldest brother gave his heart to Jesus at 88.

I heard that in Hindu culture there are fours way in finding the truth so that's why Hindu parents DONT force as everyone is seen as a seeker. The Four Way are : 🌹Karma Yoga (Doing action around the world like helping poor people) 🌹Bhakti Yoga (Through devotion to any divine you love) 🌹Jnana Yoga(Thought intelligent like the Atheist) 🌹Kriya yoga(Through Energy by doing Mediation, Yoga(unity)) Clearly showing the freedom you get when you are born in a Hindu culture.
Jesus is just one of the ways to God. Jai Shri Ram. I'm surprised Sean has such a hollow understanding of Vedic thoughts that clouds his judgment in thinking that an insecure God would just preach an exclusive way to the Divine
@@shishirshah6546Jesus is one and the only way to Eternal life. He is the son of One true God. Was there from the beginning before the world was created. And his Kingdom is in Heaven. He is not of the World. If he was of the World he would have his soldiers who would have not allowed him to be captured. Unlike King Ram of Ayodhya and King Ravan of Lanka. Those were human beings not God. Human beings are creation of God and God is the creator. So we have to worship the Creator not the creation. Because God is omnipotent, Eternal he is the same yesterday today and tomorrow.
Bob Roman's summary: Here is a summary and outline of the key points from the article: Summary: The article is an interview with Nijay Gupta, a New Testament scholar who converted from Hinduism to Christianity as a teenager. Key points: - Nij grew up in a Hindu family in Ohio, but Hinduism was more cultural than devout for his family. As a kid, Nij struggled with feelings of not belonging and sadness. - In high school, Nij's older brother Neil converted to Christianity after being drawn to the love and community he saw in a local youth group. Neil invited Nij to attend the youth group too. - Nij quickly felt welcomed and loved by the Christian community. At a youth group retreat, he heard the gospel message of unconditional acceptance into God's family through Christ and felt he had found his place. - Telling his parents he was no longer Hindu was very difficult for Nij. It went against his family's culture to reject their heritage. His relationship with his parents was strained for some time. - As a new believer, Nij felt called to vocational ministry but ended up discovering a passion for scholarship. He now teaches at a seminary, helping prepare future pastors and ministers. - Nij continues to occasionally dialogue about faith with his father but he and his brother Neil remain the only Christians in the family. Nij has never regretted becoming a follower of Jesus. Outline: I. Nij's Hindu upbringing A. Parents immigrated from India B. Hinduism more cultural than devout for his family C. Struggled with loneliness and sadness as a child II. Neil, Nij's brother, converts to Christianity A. Drawn to love/community of a youth group B. Invites Nij to attend the youth group III. Nij converts after experiencing welcome and acceptance A. Youth group retreat - hears gospel message B. Finds place he belongs in God's family IV. Difficulty telling parents he's no longer Hindu A. Rejecting family's heritage very hard in their culture B. Strained relationship for some time V. Becomes New Testament professor rather than pastor A. Discovers passion for scholarship in college B. Now helps prepare future ministers VI. Remains committed believer decades later A. Occasional faith dialogues with father B. Only he and Neil are Christians in family
you were a catholic....but never bothered to hear or research your own faith...never researched the catechism of the church or early church fathers....hmmmmmmmm
HI SEAN, WELL, I REALLY TRIED TO EMAIL YOU IN RESPONSE. DIDN'T WORK. RIGHT NOW I'M SLOWLY RECOVERING MY VOICE ANYWAY. SO CAN'T TALK MUCH. I'M PRETTY OLD AND BEHIND THE TECHNOLOGICAL CURVE, JUST ABOUT HOPELESSLY AT THIS POINT. SO I ONLY HAVE AN OLD LAND LINE - NO TEXT . I'VE GOT 2 CELL PHONES AND CAN'T FIGURE OUT EITHER. SIGH. THANK GOODNESS GOD'S GOT A SENSE OF HUMOR !
St Thomas, one of the 12 disciples went to India to evangelize and was martyred there...check out St Thomas Hill...hence Christianity has been in India since the beginning ...long before it reached the western world
Very good interview.. Praise God for you and the ministry. Your experiences are very much encouraging as today we have gone to see a Hindu friend who is going thru so many problems. We shared the gospel and prayed with him. Hope the Lord touches many in the coming days.
He was a Hindu who found solace & answers in Christianity. Then, there are Christians who found solace & answers in Hindu & other teachings. Each person to himself. It is about the person, the beliefs may vary. In Hinduism it is taught that there are many ways to Truth & Divinity unlike some other faiths, especially Semitic faiths who teach that their's is the only way.🙏

Clearly when he is saying I dont represent Hindus, Im not from Hindu background, I was not taught Hinduism by my parents. Then how is he ex-Hindu? Sean plz note these cheap tactics will only bring bad name to you and christianity.
Brother Nijay, thanks so much for your transparency in sharing. Your faith journey has God’s grace and love all over it. Keep leaping in Faithfulness to God’s Word
Always love watching Sean on these webinars, but he really dropped the ball this time when he wore a San Antonio Spurs shirt instead of a Denver Nuggets shirt...)
Nijay has all the grades fitting to be a poster boy for all indian Hindus to understand that Christ and Christianity is not up for sale as some sections of Indians think but it is the love, goodness and uniqueness of Christ and his teachings that compels people to merge into this community of believers. 35:33
I am from India , ifind your Testimony so touching & blessed , my prayer unto God to Bless &guide you ,be firm ,be strong Our Good GOD will stand with You & shield you all the time AMEN !
The problem with this young man like many second generation of Hindu families is inadequate understanding of Hinduism. All their parents ever taught to them was rituals without understanding the meaning behind . Their parents probably have no understanding of basics of Hinduism themselves and how they will explain to their children ? . This is the basic problem and would explain why Christianity with its simple concepts appear to be attractive. This young man has never been exposed to the literature and arts of India and seems to be very isolated. He probably was craving to be accepted by his peers and religion seems to be the best way to achieve this probably subconsciously and made him drift towards Christianity. He will hopefully one day will read about his own culture and religion and will realise how wonderful they are.
From 37:50 to 38:19... wow! That was spectacular 😄 Thank you for an amazing interview, Sean and Nijay. God bless you both! (Edit) PS there is a neon sign in Sean's room... it says Biola 🤣
Dear Dr. Gupta, Thank you for sharing your story of faith in The Lord Jesus Christ! I know a couple of Dr. GuptaS but now I have a Dear Brother in The Lord who is Dr. Gupta! O Glory HALLELUJAH! You said that you grew up in Ohio and your Dear Dad is a Surgeon. I lived in Bowling Green, OH, for about 18 months. In 1994, I met an Indian Medical Doctor (Surgeon?) in the Public Library and we talked a little bit. Soon after that I left Bowling Green. I wonder if you grew up in or around Bowling Green and if I may have met your Dear Dad in the library. By the way, I was born in and grew up in PAKISTAN as a CHRISTIAN in a CHRISTIAN family. Currently I live in New Jersey. The Lord Jesus Christ bless you, your family, and your ministry (witness)! He is ALWAYS with you!
I was also depressed and sad when younger I clung to Lord Jesus since I didn't have any friends or relatives I used to be sad and lonely. I prayed earnestly Lord Jesus my life is empty without you. If you want Lord use me whatever way you want. Fear of hell made my life miserable But getting to know the truth of Bible and love of God touch my heart Now I go to brethren church which I recommend to all
Jesus is there with His arms wide open for everyone to come. I pray all people can find Jesus. I pray Islam finds Christanity. I pray that Israel finds Christ. Hindus, Budhists. I pray all people find Him!!! Jesus carries us through our troubled times if we have faith in Him.❤❤❤
Profoundity in Hinduism or rather Sanatana Dharma makes Christianity seem like Grade one. If u have an understanding capability of just grade one you better stick to Christianity. You arent on wrong path just a lower grade. All Abrahmic religions have a very simplistic explanations. The reason we Hindus dont believe in converting. ..you cannot just force someone into a higher grade. If they r ready to learn they will seek the answers themselves and climb up the grade to Sanatana Dharma. Hindus aren't believers but we seek and find out truth ourselves .
54:25 Doubt is not the opposite of faith, unbelief is. Questioning and skepticism are human but coming to Faith by Jesus in God's provision and love for us gives our lives a deeper equilibrium, purpose and meaning.
Way too many seeking truth *fail to find* because they're so easily led astray by worldly logic, sensuality, vain esoterism or specious mysticisms. *I know I was.* I'm an ex neo-vedantic (hindu roots) new ager. I used to be into so much "cosmic/spiritual" stuff: trance channelings, ancient wisdom, gnosticism, psychedelic drugs, hindu gurus and buddhist variants. I was illuminated by the *kundalini (serpent) spirit* then 7 years ago I got rightly enlightened by the *Holy Spirit* - who showed me what a fool I was before..... Spirit led to the REAL *Yahusha/Jesus Christ* and everything changed - *paradigm shifted* ...... This is being *BORN AGAIN* and it's an ongoing surprise to me 😁
There is no racism at all... I live with a American Christian family being a Christian from India and nope there is no. You have to change your thoughts on that!!!
From India, I can understand that Hindus will resist this message, but if you truly seek God you will find Jesus Christ who awaits you to return to him, i also seeked God in my life now i have find him, yeshua Masiah my king! ❤

I remember those pre-internet youth group. People weren’t perfect but their minds were a lot less polluted by the internet. Most people that i knew that was lost looked to God for guidance……
I've met at least two Christians who began reading the Bible to prove Christianity to be untrue. Both ended up finding a life changing relationship with Jesus Christ and are strong Christians today!
Amen.our God is awesome. He created it all,nothing exists without him
There are so many people that fall into that category here in India. Some of them ended up being big preachers, gathering spirits for Christ.
If we ever meet you will have met three. That is how God got to me.
I was born a Hindu, converted to Christianity & went to service 4 times/wk. I had to leave the church environment for a while so I started reading the Bible myself (rather than a preacher doing the reading for me). I read some good things, some ordinary things and tons of bad things that is in the Bible. It became clear to me that this book is not Devine work. I denounced that fake Christian’s god 54 years ago - no regrets whatsoever.
@@dewansingh9325 May be you have greatest, honest and godly leaders, teachers, governments who never lied to you, who promised you every great job, promised you never to increase your taxes and told you that you don’t have to pay rent, eat free food wherever you go, that you will be the greatest Indian PM ever, that your leaders will give you bars and bags of pure gold and then that you have no need to work because they will give your private islands, yachts, planes, helicopters, palaces and several properties of your own. It is no wonder that you find Lord Jesus Christ boring because He never promised you any such material goods on earth but eternal heaven where nobody can steal from you.
I come from a Sikh background and one day I was praying and heard the voice of the Lord and fell in love. I’m a Christian now and the Lord has done so much for me and my family! My family does not understand!
@TlegramSeanMc_Dowell sounds good! How do I get in touch with you?
Awesome!

You never know who will come to faith in Jesus.

You were playing and you hear the voice of the Lord. How were you praying and what were you praying about when you heard the Lord's voice? Tell your family exactly how you prayed and what you prayed about, maybe they will receive the Lord through his voice or his touch or just his presence.
This is probably a strange thing to say but I am fairly into conservative politics and had become very interested in Vivek Ramaswamy (probably would have voted for him if he hadn't already dropped out). He is a 1st gen American from India and a Hindu. Its been really interesting to hear his experiences with Christianity and to hear him defend why Christians should vote for him. Anyway, last night I had a dream (and I don't dream often at all). Don't remember all of the specifics but he was under attack in my dream. All day I have had the urge to pray for him. That Jesus would rescue him from attack and that he would see the love of Jesus and realise that Jesus is the one who created him. Not sure if seeing this video about a "Hindu's" conversion to Christianity in my feed on same day is coincidence or not, but I appreciate this interview and urge people to pray for those who don't know Jesus.
I enjoy occasionally visiting local Sikh temple at lunch time after church. I have rented twice from Sikhs. Ha very not gotten into religious discussions. I pray for them.
Vivek and his family are in my regular prayers. May God hear our prayers in agreement that this proponent of the truth will recognize and be embraced by the Truth, whose name is Jesus.
I pray for all Hindus to find Christ as well as Muslims and all lost people. Please pray for my friend Bibha as she's deeply entrenched in this pagan religion.
I love Vivek, he's brilliant. I love his calling out mainstream media's manufactured narratives lies and slander. Good thought. I will pray for Vivek and his family. So easy to love him. He is admirably courageous. He's a good boy. I was raised in immorality and corruption form my early years. My earliest memories a gross promiscuity. God is kind to those far away. Especially the broken hearted and the broken. I admire Vivek.
I will pray for him, yes. Like him a lot....So wish that he would be chosen as a vice president if Trump would win...with God's grace... Vivek is in line with him... A good man, better than Trump, in my opinion, but perhaps not as known yet and trusted... I so pray for his full conversion...
Thanks for sharing your experience. I love hearing about others' journeys. I am an X Mormon, I finally broke free in my 40's. My walk with the lord has been and is a continuous process. Hearing others helps strengthen my own testimony.
Glad to hear you’ve found the truth. Sorry to hijack your post - what is up with Mormons “testifying” at end of “sermons”?
@@rossix1851 It's funny you say that. Sometimes I realize that my vocabulary and the things that I was taught are often in conflict with true biblical doctrine. I would love to know the word of God and true Christian theology better than I do as the Bible is treated secondary to the blasphemous "Book of Mormon" Mormons bearing their testimony it is to declare what they know to be true, a sort of allegiance to the Mormon religion.
Keep reading the Word of God, be careful WHO you listen to, ALWAYS TAKE IT BACK TO THE BIBLE! You are doing exactly what you need to do..study the Word, learn , pray, and Keep Jesus Christ, the One and only Lord God and Savior!
If I could suggest my Bible teachers..Gary Hamrick, Skip Heitzig, …they teach Book by book, verse by verse. God bless, friend!
So good to hear as I’ve found those in Mormon & Jehovah Witness institution to be the least open minded & hearted, even more than staunch atheists or new agers. Glad you broke free but now don’t get trapped by religious Christian dogma attached/idolising $$.
@@rappsman Thanks for your honest evaluation of the Mormonism as its ex-adherent! And welcome home, finally, Brother!
Loved this interview! I came to faith at 18. Like Nijay, I was messed up and knew it. I don't think it has to be that dramatic for everyone. But I do think individuals must come to a recognition of their sinfulness and the need for God's forgiveness in Christ.
Thanks for sharing bro. God Bless❤
Between budism, Hinduism and Christianity there are no any differences. They also worship human,idols,dolls,animals, in Christianity people also worship in the same, they worship before A human, 3 gods, they don't even know what they are doing, both they call Jesus prophet as a son of God and they call him as God. 😂
@@meherrempireliyev2956How are Hindu Buddhist and Christian bodies alike? Go and read your Dharam Granth. There are 33 crore Gods and Goddesses in Hindu religion, right? How many gods and goddesses have you been named among the 33 crore gods and goddesses? 😂
Love hearing Nijay speak. He was honest, vulnerable, articulate, thoughtful, and more. In my opinion he is a very intelligent well spoken person, contrary to maybe his feelings early on. Nijay, so happy you found your resting place. Thank you for sharing.
I had the privilege of taking a New Testament class from Nijay in seminary. It is truly wonderful to hear his story, as I was too busy to hear much of it back then. Sean, you should have him talk about Galatians and the gospel of grace some time. He is a brilliant scholar and is great at making his studies of the bible clear and accessible.
Great for Nijay but every way leads to the Ultimate truth. Nice subjective experience but this guy has a half baked understanding of Hinduism and now wants to turn this into an objective argument that Jesus is the only way.
explain how christian and islamic people turned from 1000s of people to 3.5 billion people in 60+ countries in 2000 years, talk about wiped out civilizations Roman, Egyptian, Mesopotamia, Babylon, Sumerian, indigenous American and Australians. Atrocities of west on their people and others slavery, coloniality, burning people, African slaves, beheading for talking against authorities, they were tied and body was ripped off by tying to ropes, choping hands for thivery. Burning women alive. Forced conversations to their religions,
Every human part was removed eyes, intestines, hands time to time to make people see, many more cruel things.

historians consider the Goa Inquisition the most merciless and cruel ever developed. It was a machinery of death. A large number of Hindus were first converted and then persecuted from 1560 all the way to 1812!
Over that period of 252 years, any man, woman, or child living in Goa could be arrested and tortured for simply whispering a prayer or keeping a small idol at home. Many Hindus -- and some former Jews, as well -- languished in special Inquisitional prisons, some for four, five, or six years at a time
@Govind_hind_sanatan Yes, it was done by the Portuguese Catholic church. That is not Christian. It's impossible to force people to become Christian. They committed murder for their own pleasure. It was satanic, not Christ like. People have and will always use Christianity to commit atrocities. It doesn't mean Christianity isn't true it just means there are bad people out there, as the Bible says.
Thanks for sharing. I've not heard of this before. @@Govind_rana500
You're right. Church leaders along with the kings were responsible for the torture and killing. Religion became a political tool, as it still is for some.@@sally9352
@@Govind_rana500I am a Manglorean Catholic, a descendent of the people who fled the Goan Inquisition. The Inquisition never affected Hindus, rather it affected the Catholic Christian converts who willingly converted but did not let go of a few of their previous hindu customs and continued to practice those in the church. Your opinion regarding Hindus being forcibly converted on a massive scale is at best hogwash.

I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation! Christians are often blamed for being too pushy.
My only explanation is the fact that when you become a believer, you are filled with so much joy, that you want others to feel that same Joy!
You want to tell the story how the spirit entered your life and made you feel so complete and so full of happiness! You simply want to share the tremendous love and caring that has come into your life.
I can't apologize about it, I just want you to be filled with joy and happiness as well!
Happiness, joy, soul, and spirit can not be described but only experienced. Christ or Krish (Krishna) or any other name are names of the same spirit that is omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent.
@@americanatheart110sorry, Krishna's life is way far away from Christ's. Christ is the omnipotent n omnipresent God. None can equal Him. Please try to know about Christ before equating with Krishna (for, I have read widely about Krishna too) and I know my Bible very well...

Atrocities of west on their people and others slavery, coloniality, burning people, African slaves, beheading for talking against authorities, they were tied and body was ripped off by tying to ropes, choping hands for thivery. Burning women alive. Forced conversations to their religions,
Every human part was removed eyes, intestines, hands time to time to make people see, many more cruel things.
@christinaramesh6963 What ever u think! But keep in mind, every other person also thinks like u, i.e. for example, someone who thinks Krishna is the only omnipotent and omniscient, etc., similarly, a Muslim thinks Allaha is the only God. Way u say is only ur hunger is true and not others or only ur mother is the best but not others. U have not seen or met Jesus, then how can u be sure he even existed? The same is Krishna. What we all believe and pray is the Supreme Conciousness or the Spirit. Jesus and Krishna are fully 100% aware of it. U and I are not. Lord Jesus may bless u abundantly.
What a similarity? My family & I reconverted back to Hinduism and never thought our church members & friends boycotted us. Sad reality for converts all around the World. Hope people grow up.
What happened??
@@30parimeeta Well, I found out Christian does not completely fill the emptiness within me. It lacks the depth as provided by Hinduism. Initially I decided to do very basic research on Hindu philosophies and instantly drawn to it. Perhaps its in every Indian blood. But as time progressed I decided to to declare my faith. This is when I got cold shouldered. People begged, threatened, cursed me & family. Sad but I would not make the same mistake as my ancestors did by converting. I ma back to where all living things belong.
@@bangsarster hm glad to hear from u I m hindu and proud of my dharma, hindusim is the only oldest as well as true as well as scientific and spiritual, but why church boycotted u ?? And who the hell curse u??? As I was also In the path of conversion but I rejected it

I think once missionaries came from the US to India. Now we Indians have to go to the US to preach the gospel.
So true.
Google Jim jones of Guyana 🇬🇾 ge was a pastor murdered over nine hundred of his followers
Where is your Christ god
God sent missionaries to India from the US and now He chooses to send them from India to US . We all belong to Him , His vessels.
Because Christians in the west understood the bible... Indians fooled 😊
I am a Hindu as well from India. I want to also know more about Christianity. Idk how and from where?
A good starting place is reading The Holy Bible! Start in the book of Matthew, Mark, or Luke to get to know Jesus =)
You can ask The Lord Jesus Christ to reveal himself to you. Ask humbly and be persistent and he will show you the way. Having faith is a gift in itself, so don’t be discouraged if you feel that you have a hard time believing at first. Ask God the Father for more faith ❤ God Bless.
You know those things you've done in your life, secretly. You don't want those things yelled from a rooftop for all the world to hear. The believers sins have been blotted out, and IF you BELIEVE in the one true JESUS, you will escape the SECOND death, ( aka the lake of 🔥 fire)!!
I am from Indai! would love to chat with you.
Stay Hindu don't forget u r roots
I am an upper cast(bhramhin) ex hindu who came to Christ few years ago. But recently I have been battling with doubts.
We all face doubts. It’s part of renewing our mind and processing the new life in Jesus. I encourage you to continue reading the Bible. Get the knowledge into your head and as you read and pray, the Holy Spririt will bring understanding, and comfort in the Truth of God’s word!
Most of us go through periods of doubts. Find a fellow believer who is knowledgeable in the area you have questions in. Pray for guidance. Read your Bible. For me, periods of doubts have ultimately served to strengthen my faith, and oftentimes by causing me to reevaluate what I thought I knew, resulting in me discovering greater truths about Jesus. Find what it is that is causing you to doubt Jesus and ask yourself why. Then see if Jesus has an answer.
My brother, please look at archaeology.
Ezekiel and prophecies of Tyre, and how Alexander the Great scraped it to the bedrock and threw it into the sea.
Or the sulphur and salt found around where Sodom used to be.
About the inscriptions of Nebuchadnezzar.
And Daniel 11 and Antiochus IV.
And Erastus of Corinth.
And much much more.
Please, no blind faith is needed. You believe, now you study.
Mike Winger, Frank Turek, askcliffe, Skip Heitzig and more are good teachers. They are all very careful with Scripture and show their work.
And of course, check everything they say against the Bible, they are only men.
God Bless your curiosity. Let you be hungry for knowledge of our Lord, and rest in comfort of certainty.
That's ok, I am glad that you are watching this video. Testimonies can be very encouraging. Read your Bible and pray that God help you to see and hear him. Satan wants to fuel your doubts, rebuke him. Don't give I'm a foothold. You are the temple of the Living God, defend yourself in the name of Jesus!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Praying that God helps you xxx
Sean you do these stories so beautifully with much care, tenderness and a listening ear.
Thank you Nijay for coming on. ❤
God bless you abundantly Nijay🙏
I heard that in Hindu culture there are fours way in finding the truth so that's why Hindu parents DONT force as everyone is seen as a seeker.
The Four Way are :
🌹Karma Yoga (Doing action around the world like helping poor people)
🌹Bhakti Yoga (Through devotion to any divine you love)
🌹Jnana Yoga(Thought intelligent like the Atheist)
🌹Kriya yoga(Through Energy by doing Mediation, Yoga(unity))
Clearly showing the freedom you get when you are born in a Hindu culture.
Welcome to our family 👪 of Jesus Christ 🙏. God bless you 🙏 ❤️🙌.

Between budism, Hinduism and Christianity there are no any differences. They also worship human,idols,dolls,animals, in Christianity people also worship in the same, they worship before A human, 3 gods, they don't even know what they are doing, both they call Jesus prophet as a son of God and they call him as God. 😂
ram was a righteous warrior god , krishna was a righteous warrior god but jjesus cchicken out instead of fighting he committed ssuicide - not a ideal god.
@@urrasscal8380 prove the existence of Ram and Krishna first....second they werent any gods, they are born from human father and mother...so they are mere mortals not a god....Jesus father is Word of God/Son of God, and mother is Mary...so Jesus is Word of God/Son of God born incarnate.
@@yakovmatityahu if that mental case jjesus was god then he was a chicken out kind of god what kind of twisted ppshyco god commit ssuicide for the ssins of others what a lame logic.
@@urrasscal8380 who hurt you bro? You seem so bitter. If someone is happy with their belief, it is better to accept it and move on.
No one asked you to accept christ as your lord and saviour.
Also, before saying Jesus chickened out, read scriptures to know what really happened.
Also, you don't have to read the bible from a believers POV. Just read it as if you are an intellect that wishes to expand his/her understanding of the world. Nothing good comes with tearing someone down with zero knowledge of their existence.
God bless.
The joy of Christ. Yes indeed! 😊

Wonderful testimony! Glory to the Lord Jesus for you brother!!!
A person cannot abandon something they never had.
A misfit loner child, despondent, fearful and vulnerable accepts a different belief system that his family never practiced in depth.
Young Hindus talk to your parents and not religious sales people. Make your decision based on full knowledge and not fear mongering.
I could listen to Nijay for hours. This was wonderful.
As ex Christian here and proud . Would never go back to slave religions of Abraham . I creator called Brahma. A philosophy that heals inspite of a wretched caste curse bought by Roman Catholics to our land
Great bro
So you become an untouchable Hindu? A great noble choice. Good for you!!!

Can u tell how old cristainity is ? Is it much more older than Hinduism ? Give answer with proofs plzz...bcz if any God come first then there should not any existing religion before
@@bandudhote7883 🤦 how does the age of something determine its truth
Ancient ppl beleived the earth was flat, just because it's old it's true? Lol
@@ultracrepiderian nobody in ancient believed that earth is flat ...this concept was given by Islamic books...Sanatan and today's science has neglected it ...and it is logic that if any god state that he come first them there should be no existence before them...and nearly every religion state that but their books and monuments are the proofs ...hence before Sanatan Dharm there is no existence of any other religion ...u can search or read book or can study the monuments details
@@bandudhote7883 what bs
ancient Egyptian, Sumerian and many such civilizations had religions much older than Hinduism
"Islamic books" it seems 😂.
Islamic scholars were simply translating ancient Greek books, learn proper history.
Don't put sanatan and modern science in the same sentence, ofc many great things were discovered by our ancient scholars and most of them were wrong, but a lot was also right.
Hinduism doesn't teach a round earth, stop lying
There r multiple legends about the state of the earth in Hinduism, one of them is that the earth is on 4 pillars on the back of kachapa(Vishnu) over 4 pillars that were elephants.
Try gaining knowledge from something other than WhatsApp
@@ultracrepiderian Sanatan had teached it ...u can see it in many Hindu gods picture ....and also when Krishna eat sand and then his mother open his mouth that time in his mouth solar system was present u can read or can see in pictures too...and one time a good looks like horny structure he had take earth on his trunks ...there are many proofs...I don't know about ancient scholars but in Sanatan books like aurveda everything's is true and today's science agree with it ...things like plastic surgery are now seen but it is mentioned in our books
Nijay's problem is that his parents never sat down and explained to him the Hindu philosophy. There's a lot of depth & wisdom in Hinduism. It takes a good teacher or dedicated self-study of the core Hindu scriptures to understand its principles. Nijay is not unique in facing this problem. Most of our parents' generation was like his parents. They never explained the rationale behind Hindu customs to their children. The reason being that for a majority of them this knowledge was not passed on to them by their parents either. When you cannot reason or connect with something logically - then disillusionment follows. You've to realize that India suffered repeated invasions, fatal attacks on its culture, colonization, proselytization, persecution of its people to the point that they were made to look down upon their own faith/culture for 800-1000 years. It was tragic because the Indian culture was always respectful of all religions. This shakes the foundation of a civilization. Yet it survived, because Hinduism is so deep & profound. Hinduism is not a religion, where an External God is worshipped like the Abrahamic faiths. It is a path of Self-enquiry. It questions human existence. It teaches spirituality to look inwards and transcend the sorrow which results from material existence. Its goals are Equanimity, Compassion, and to discover the Divinity within you. For a mundane person this will not become clear, unless you take up a serious study of the Hindu principles. We are Blessed because of the Information age!!! Our generation is better situated. Now, all Hindu scriptures, their translations, commentaries are easily accessible to us. Whenever there is a question in our mind, the answer is one click away. After having read the Hindu texts myself, I for one can very confidently say that once you've studied the ancient wisdom of Hindu philosophy and start practicing it, the connection with the Supreme Consciousness is inevitable. One would never need to look outside or explore other faiths. I'm truly proud of my heritage.
Where will you end up when you die?
Wow couldnt say it better. Truly if one understands sanatan there is nothing else to understand. You understand all religions and great souls and their messages. You start respecting everyone.
@@jeevatmaabsolutely right, and thank you for the kind words! 🙏To put it simply, Hinduism is the Science of Life, Purpose, Universe, and the Absolute Reality that underpins all of them.
@@divyarathor9992👍
Had they actually explained(including varnashram dharma/sati/polygamy/etc) it would have been a much easier task for Nijay to accept Jesus Christ and Christianity

Great story. The Gupta family is a big one in India. The majority of them are intellectuals and very successful, Your Dad is not the only one who admired and respected Jesus. I remember I went to a Staples store to make copies of the famous Shroud of Turin the attendant that helped me was Hindu with a red dot on his forehead, after the copies were made he looked at the picture put both his hands together and bowed to the Holy Face of Jesus and told me no charge for the copies (20 copies total). I was a bit shocked as I tried to understand his reaction. This shows how respected and powerful our Lord is.
Also shows how accepting and accommodating hindus are.
That's the difference. We respect all enlightened people. And you demonize all other and try to prove them devil. Think who got the real teaching from God.
very good testimony thanks for sharing
Glory to God and acknowledging Jesus Christ. Amen.
I went the other way.. almost became pastor and realized the jarring silliness in Christianity... since then searched for meaning for 10 years and found rest in shiva
Shiva is "Jesus"
I would say Jesus is Shiva, considering that Jesus likely got his spirituality from India during his travels. And of course, Abraham comes from Brahma and Sara from saraswati. The whole spiritual ideology of Christianity comes from Hinduism.
@@rohandev1444 Shiva is Satan, the celestial form of the avatar of "Jesus", being part of the trinity angel=messenger who are gods, but God logos first is Shiva, first manifest in relativity, being infinite, the tip of creation with the essence of the absolute, because behind him only the supreme and the spirits conservative saint his feminine polarity is lilith or understand as kali I suppose I am here as a manifestation of what is understood as shiva but only time will tell as I said about time study history these current Jews are not the people of those times see book bible genesis japhe dwells in tents of without to summary through the apocryphal books it is understood that japheth was white the middle brother without dark skin the oldest and the youngest cam black noah was albino yes abraham has certain connections with Hinduism however while in Hinduism it is more about concepts and studies of what is happening, even in a certain legendary or metaphorical way, not denying here the essence or occurrence of many facts, even if in different ways in some details that when extended can differ into something greater, what I mean by these comparisons is reach connections and see where they are different or where they are "lost" in terms of the truth I say truth about the fact that such discrepancies make one deny the other not understanding each other or why where such facts correlate the focus is unification I think Maybe it's time or close to it, considering it's a purely human parameter, in a few years you'll see my soulmate is also incarnated in Portugal, he even has a profile on social networks Lauragmzz Angelgmzz I came from Brazil, my name is David, in this life I have tea autism, a soul divided between the astral and the physical, I'm anonymous, at least for now, I hope the dimensions soon come together Many Shiva avatars were here, see the history not only as a guru who was an example of Christ but also as kings, it is not worth mentioning here, just see the history of legendary leaders who influenced, a tip is that they are related to Venus Taurus
Dont' cook up with strange stories. Nobody who finds the true love of Christ will go back to another cult. It always happens other way round. I think you were never a Christian. You are just a confused Modi bakht.

He really enjoyed the conversation. He asks me questions because he doesn't understand certain terms like "what is the gospel". I am privileged to be able to explain. We will see my hematologist this week whose last name is Gupta.
That's why I said Thank you. I was blessed to listen with my Bestie.
Exclusivity is the crux of abrahamic doctrines and none of the teachings in the so-called holy Books are practical or make sense - all childish 'my way or no way' rants, full of warnings of eternal hellfire for non-compliance and entry to Kingdom of heaven on taking exclusive membership!
Jesus and Muhammad followers - as per their religious Books have invaded, looted, subjugated, converted and destroyed hundreds of civilizations since the 2 millenia and now their offsprings talk about wisdom with the same ideology that tortured and killed their ancestors.
Jesus couldn't save himself, but can save all of humanity who praise him. Can it get more childish?
Jesus forgives his murderers, but gives eternal hell to those who refuse to believe him as ultimate saviour - so ridiculously hilarious and tragic at the same time as billions believe in this crap.

a deeply spiritual and deeply educated Hindu rooted in Vedic knowledge, when he studies the Gospels and the life of Christ (not Paul), will realize that Hinduism and Christ (not Christianity) are NOT in opposition with each other, and he will gladly embrace Christ and His Gospel without having to abandon his culture and spiritual roots. too bad Nijay Gupta did not have such background, so he does not realize this truth.
I agree with you on this but actually just being spiritual is enough no need of labels or culture. We are all the same
Christ is the Son of God. Christ is in opposition to Hindu because he is not just a man, he is the Son of God. This has nothing to do with Paul. This is the truth, this is the reality. Truth and facts don't care about your feelings, nor about your culture, nor about your roots.

Jesus is just one of the ways to God. Jai Shri Ram. I'm surprised Sean has such a hollow understanding of Vedic thoughts that clouds his judgment in thinking that an insecure God would just preach an exclusive way to the Divine
@@shishirshah6546Jesus is one and the only way to Eternal life. He is the son of One true God. Was there from the beginning before the world was created. And his Kingdom is in Heaven. He is not of the World. If he was of the World he would have his soldiers who would have not allowed him to be captured. Unlike King Ram of Ayodhya and King Ravan of Lanka. Those were human beings not God. Human beings are creation of God and God is the creator. So we have to worship the Creator not the creation. Because God is omnipotent, Eternal he is the same yesterday today and tomorrow.
Bob Roman's summary: Here is a summary and outline of the key points from the article:
Summary:
The article is an interview with Nijay Gupta, a New Testament scholar who converted from Hinduism to Christianity as a teenager. Key points:
- Nij grew up in a Hindu family in Ohio, but Hinduism was more cultural than devout for his family. As a kid, Nij struggled with feelings of not belonging and sadness.
- In high school, Nij's older brother Neil converted to Christianity after being drawn to the love and community he saw in a local youth group. Neil invited Nij to attend the youth group too.
- Nij quickly felt welcomed and loved by the Christian community. At a youth group retreat, he heard the gospel message of unconditional acceptance into God's family through Christ and felt he had found his place.
- Telling his parents he was no longer Hindu was very difficult for Nij. It went against his family's culture to reject their heritage. His relationship with his parents was strained for some time.
- As a new believer, Nij felt called to vocational ministry but ended up discovering a passion for scholarship. He now teaches at a seminary, helping prepare future pastors and ministers.
- Nij continues to occasionally dialogue about faith with his father but he and his brother Neil remain the only Christians in the family. Nij has never regretted becoming a follower of Jesus.
Outline:
I. Nij's Hindu upbringing
A. Parents immigrated from India
B. Hinduism more cultural than devout for his family
C. Struggled with loneliness and sadness as a child
II. Neil, Nij's brother, converts to Christianity
A. Drawn to love/community of a youth group
B. Invites Nij to attend the youth group
III. Nij converts after experiencing welcome and acceptance
A. Youth group retreat - hears gospel message
B. Finds place he belongs in God's family
IV. Difficulty telling parents he's no longer Hindu
A. Rejecting family's heritage very hard in their culture
B. Strained relationship for some time
V. Becomes New Testament professor rather than pastor
A. Discovers passion for scholarship in college
B. Now helps prepare future ministers
VI. Remains committed believer decades later
A. Occasional faith dialogues with father
B. Only he and Neil are Christians in family

Don't know Hindi or Hinduism but know how to use the term Ex Hindu. 😂
It seems there is another reason 😅
He was a Hindu who found solace & answers in Christianity. Then, there are Christians who found solace & answers in Hindu & other teachings. Each person to himself. It is about the person, the beliefs may vary. In Hinduism it is taught that there are many ways to Truth & Divinity unlike some other faiths, especially Semitic faiths who teach that their's is the only way.🙏

Nijay has all the grades fitting to be a poster boy for all indian Hindus to understand that Christ and Christianity is not up for sale as some sections of Indians think but it is the love, goodness and uniqueness of Christ and his teachings that compels people to merge into this community of believers. 35:33

The problem with this young man like many second generation of Hindu families is inadequate understanding of Hinduism. All their parents ever taught to them was rituals without understanding the meaning behind . Their parents probably have no understanding of basics of Hinduism themselves and how they will explain to their children ? . This is the basic problem and would explain why Christianity with its simple concepts appear to be attractive. This young man has never been exposed to the literature and arts of India and seems to be very isolated. He probably was craving to be accepted by his peers and religion seems to be the best way to achieve this probably subconsciously and made him drift towards Christianity. He will hopefully one day will read about his own culture and religion and will realise how wonderful they are.
EXCELLENT TESTIMONY - THANK YOU ❤
From 37:50 to 38:19... wow! That was spectacular 😄
Thank you for an amazing interview, Sean and Nijay. God bless you both!
(Edit) PS there is a neon sign in Sean's room... it says Biola 🤣
Great interview and insight into Nijay and his coming to Christ! Love these type of discussions!
Dear Dr. Gupta, Thank you for sharing your story of faith in The Lord Jesus Christ! I know a couple of Dr. GuptaS but now I have a Dear Brother in The Lord who is Dr. Gupta! O Glory HALLELUJAH!
You said that you grew up in Ohio and your Dear Dad is a Surgeon. I lived in Bowling Green, OH, for about 18 months. In 1994, I met an Indian Medical Doctor (Surgeon?) in the Public Library and we talked a little bit. Soon after that I left Bowling Green. I wonder if you grew up in or around Bowling Green and if I may have met your Dear Dad in the library.
By the way, I was born in and grew up in PAKISTAN as a CHRISTIAN in a CHRISTIAN family. Currently I live in New Jersey.
The Lord Jesus Christ bless you, your family, and your ministry (witness)! He is ALWAYS with you!
God bless you guys!🙏💐🕊️😇
I was also depressed and sad when younger
I clung to Lord Jesus since I didn't have any friends or relatives
I used to be sad and lonely. I prayed earnestly Lord Jesus my life is empty without you. If you want Lord use me whatever way you want. Fear of hell made my life miserable
But getting to know the truth of Bible and love of God touch my heart
Now I go to brethren church which I recommend to all
jesus ' worship our lord the one god only ' monotheismm as taught by all true prophets of god islam ' god is one '
@@aaronmusa234 why are you following the caravan robber and sinful profet and monstrous alla??
Jesus is there with His arms wide open for everyone to come. I pray all people can find Jesus. I pray Islam finds Christanity. I pray that Israel finds Christ. Hindus, Budhists. I pray all people find Him!!! Jesus carries us through our troubled times if we have faith in Him.❤❤❤
Profoundity in Hinduism or rather Sanatana Dharma makes Christianity seem like Grade one.
If u have an understanding capability of just grade one you better stick to Christianity. You arent on wrong path just a lower grade. All Abrahmic religions have a very simplistic explanations. The reason we Hindus dont believe in converting. ..you cannot just force someone into a higher grade. If they r ready to learn they will seek the answers themselves and climb up the grade to Sanatana Dharma. Hindus aren't believers but we seek and find out truth ourselves .
54:25 Doubt is not the opposite of faith, unbelief is. Questioning and skepticism are human but coming to Faith by Jesus in God's provision and love for us gives our lives a deeper equilibrium, purpose and meaning.
Way too many seeking truth *fail to find* because they're so easily led astray by worldly logic, sensuality, vain esoterism or specious mysticisms. *I know I was.*
I'm an ex neo-vedantic (hindu roots) new ager. I used to be into so much "cosmic/spiritual" stuff: trance channelings, ancient wisdom, gnosticism, psychedelic drugs, hindu gurus and buddhist variants. I was illuminated by the *kundalini (serpent) spirit* then 7 years ago I got rightly enlightened by the *Holy Spirit* - who showed me what a fool I was before..... Spirit led to the REAL *Yahusha/Jesus Christ* and everything changed - *paradigm shifted* ...... This is being *BORN AGAIN* and it's an ongoing surprise to me 😁
Amen!!
Praise God
@@yakovmatityahuSatan needs to be praised not God pls pls pls don't follow jesus he isn't a God he is fooling u
That was very interesting Mr K.
I moved to this country from a Caribbean island the amount of racism I faced from American christians is insane.
A true Christian wouldn’t be racist. Those “Christians” have some evolving to do.
Pray for those who treat you badly. They are without understanding and in need of forgiveness. Follow the example of our saviour on the cross.
There is no racism at all... I live with a American Christian family being a Christian from India and nope there is no. You have to change your thoughts on that!!!
American Christians are most certainly r*cist.

It’s time to open this study and discussion of hell without the fear of stigma of “liberalism”.
I was a Christian now following Hindu way of Life because of Sadhguru 🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏
sadguru is a fraud,I stop following him after coming to know the truth about him.
That dancing weed seller guy?
Great questions presented to guest!
Hi do you believe in the baptism of the holy spirit, praying in tongues, healing etc. The Holy Spirit should be your guide.
A beautiful testimony is "The Death of a Guru" of Rabindranath Maharaj.
From India,
I can understand that Hindus will resist this message, but if you truly seek God you will find Jesus Christ who awaits you to return to him, i also seeked God in my life now i have find him, yeshua Masiah my king! ❤

If u have an understanding capability of just grade one you better stick to Chistianity. You arent on wrong path just a lower grade. All other religions have a very simplistic explanations. We r not believers . We r seekers. The reason we Hindus dont believe in converting. ..you cannot just force someone into a higher grade. If they r ready to learn they will jump the grade to understand Sanatana Dharma. Else it's better you learn n do well in lower grades( Abrahmic religions)
Thankyou Lord Jesus.❤❤welcome brother.
As I’m listening to Mr Gupta, I can relate with my Catholic upbringing. I was the first Christian in my family 😃🙏❤️
Similar situation with me too. My family thinks I am gone away from Christ.😅
Thank you!thank you! THANK YOU!🇨🇦🙏🙏🙏🙏😘😘
Praise be to God! Awesome testimony. It’s a real miracle, it’s hard to get to Hindus about God, they’re really stubborn.
Not stubborn we know the truth we have knowledge we not believers we are seekers of knowledge
Oh u think ur religion is the superior one? That’s why countries like Sri Lanka and India still couldn’t be converted into Christian societies by you missionaries 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
You you brag about yourself without knowing completly about the otherside

I remember those pre-internet youth group. People weren’t perfect but their minds were a lot less polluted by the internet. Most people that i knew that was lost looked to God for guidance……
Yes being in Christ means living like Christ
