Check the second important characteristics of the myth: <\/p>\nRamayana<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/strong>In Ramayana, many characters apart from Rama were not ordinary human beings but were the children of some other deities.<\/p>\n
-Sita- avatar of Lakshmi.
-Lakshmana- avatar of the thousand headed serpent- Ananta Shesha<\/em>.
-Hanuman- Son of the deity wind. <\/p>\n
Mahabharata<\/p>\n
<\/strong>In the Mahabharata,<\/strong> not only Krishna who was said to be an incarnation even <\/span>many other main characters in this story were not ordinary human beings but the children of some deities. A few examples are:<\/p>\n
– Bhishma- son of the goddess Ganga.
– Karna- son of the Vedic deity Sun (Surya) through Kunti.
– Yudhisthira- son of the deity Dharama through Kunti.
– Bhima- son of the Vedic deity Vayu.
– Arjuna- son of the Vedic deity Indra through Kunti. <\/span>– Nakula and Sahadeva, from the twin gods the Asvins through Madri. <\/p>\n
Gospels of Jesus Christ<\/u><\/strong><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/u><\/strong>Apart from LORD Jesus Christ, who is the incarnation of second person of Triune Yahweh God, all other main characters are ordinary human beings whether it is His adopted father Joseph, or mother Mary, brothers and sisters, or the twelve apostles etc.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
The Hindu Puranas thus perfectly fit into the definition of myths which were common in other parts of the world whether in Greece or in Rome.<\/p>\n
However, the New Testament Gospels do not fit into myths rather they fall under the history or biography.<\/p>\n
So, for the question as to why a Christian would reject the stories in the Hindu Puranas is simple- they are mere myths with no connection to reality. <\/span><\/p>\n
