Hey everybody, Pastor Steven Anderson here from Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, Arizona.
Let me start out by giving you a quote from the Bhagavad Gita chapter 9 verses 23 and 24.
It says, those who worship other gods with faith and devotion also worship me, Arjuna,
even if they do not observe the usual forms. I'm the object of all worship,
it's enjoyer and Lord, but those who fail to realize my true nature must be reborn.
So again, the title of this book, the Bhagavad Gita, which is one of the most famous Hindu
scriptures, means the song of the Lord. That's the title of the book, the song of the Lord.
And the Lord of Hinduism, the Lord of this book says that those who worship other gods
are worshiping me basically. That's what he says. Well, let's compare that with what the Bible says
about worshiping other gods, because this is a theme that comes up over and over again in the
Bible. For example, Exodus 23 verse 13, and in all things that I've said unto you be
circumspect and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of
thy mouth. Deuteronomy 7 4, for they will turn away thy son from following me, that they
may serve other gods. So will the anger of the Lord be kindled against you and destroy
thee suddenly. Deuteronomy 11 16, take heed to yourselves that your heart be not deceived
and ye turn aside and serve other gods and worship them. And I could go on and on with a
ton of scriptures from the Bible, but these scriptures make it clear that those who worship
other gods are deceived. Those who worship other gods are provoking the Lord to anger.
They are serving devils. They're serving demons if they serve other gods. Well, the Lord of the
Bhagavad Gita says the opposite. He said, hey, if you're serving other gods, you're worshiping
me. I'm the object of all worship, whether you're worshiping the Antichrist or the devil
or Buddha or any false god, he says, you're worshiping me. Well, you know what? If
the Bhagavad Gita is speaking of the devil, because I strongly believe that the God of
Hinduism is Satan himself. He describes himself in the Bhagavad Gita as a serpent and all
these other things. So that makes sense because the Bible teaches that when you worship other
gods, you're worshiping devils. And then the God of Hinduism says, well, if you worship
other gods, you're worshiping me. Why? Because he's the devil.
