    There's lots of confusion about religious Tenet's (1st commandment..????)among Christians here in this forum..., Am not sure about the righteous credentials, attitude & rituals that's being followed by those who question..., that being said one should not give much weightage in an era where FEKUISM is triumphing...!!!

    Visiting is OK. Offering puja to an idol is against the first commandment of God. Are theu going to visit for Nativity or Christmas? Clapping should bevwith two hands.

    being a catholic i respect the feeling of other communities but will not involve in paganism. idol worship is strictly prohibited in christianity. it is only from heart we have to worship. Praise be to God the almighty amen.

    Come out from among them says the Word of God. Honoring and loving people of other religions is very important. But offering puja to gods of this world is nothing less than crucifying Christ again. These people are no different from the disciple of Christ who sold him for 30 coins of silver.

    The meaning of your name Sanjay is 'Victory, Lord Shiva'. The plan behind spreading Christianity or Islam in India is to create soft power for Western & Arab nations and ultimately balkanize India. Christians and Muslims are Indians not just in law but also in blood. So all of you should do Ghar wapsi & come back to the faith of your forefathers.

    You are not right here brother. Followers of Christ are called to live in harmony and peace and save other souls, to offer one's own life for the sake of others. Remember this what is written and done "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, to proclaim the virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9).

    God of Abraham, Issac and Yekub says in the 1st commandment. I thy God will not share my glory with other Gods It's alright to be community friendly, appreciated. But doing pooja of alien gods tantamounts to paganism. The God of the Bible condemns paganism. Bu paganism we are bringing curse unto our families.

    Yes you may be right but don't be in the past rather live in the present as Jesus made all things New. Remember this Bible God is who hates the Sin yet Loves the Sinner. In the new testament the Greatest Commandment Jesus gave, “This is the most important: ‘Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength and ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.” MK 12:30. Are you following this commandment ? Visiting doesn't mean worshiping and respecting doesn't mean honoring. By doing this kind act or meeting with other faith people we bring peace in the society and they recognize that we are Christians. Jesus said by your action let them know that you are my disciples. Did anyone said you are a Christian, the Christlike by-example?

    Maybe these saffron sponsored christian folks have forgotten the desecration done to our churches and tabernacles. May be they have forgotten how mercilessly our women, men and childrren were beaten up by the police for protesting the desecration. Did they have the permission of the bishop to visit in an official capacity?
