Subject: LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Hindu-Muslim Madhathai Vimarchikkum Puthiya Bible!
(New Bible criticizes the Hindu, Muslim religions)
Nakkheeran (Tamil) 3 pages 18, 19, 20, issue of September 3, 2008
www.nakkheeran.com
There are two drawings accompanying the article.
One drawing is of a face, half of which is Jesus Christ and the other half is of the Hindu deity Siva.
The caption: “Sivanaga Yesu” meaning
“Jesus transformed into Siva“.
The other drawing is of a face half of which is Jesus Christ and the other half is of the Hindu deity Krishna.
The caption: “Krishnanaga Marum Yesu” meaning
“Jesus transformed into Krishna“.
This magazine interviewed Mr. C.J. Raphel, President, and Mr. A. Clement Selvaraj, General Secretary, Federation of The Catholic Faithful, Chennai. They both strongly condemned the NCB.
Mr. Ramagopalan, Hindu Munnani leader said that the NCB is a “very big falsehood”.
He asks, “Which idiot [madaiyan] said that Adam, the first human of the Bible is the same as or similar to adama/bhumidevi philosophy of Hinduism? Such things are fooling only the gullible public. Comparing Bible passages with equivalents in Bhagavad and Hindu scriptures is a very big mischief [mosadi]. Christian history is only 2,000 years old. But the Bhagawat Gita is centuries older. So how can the NCB draw comparisons? The Christians are preaching and writing a big lie to destroy the peace of our nation. Who gave the commentators the permission to make these comparisons? The Christians want to cheat the people.”
Muslim scholar and religious leader of the Tauhit Jamma-Atin, Jainul Abid, said, “Christians can be expected to change their tactics according to the times. They are again and again repeating the same mistakes and causing confusion and problems. The NCB is the latest example. Preaching wrongly about other religions and seeking to destroy them may be the policy of the propagators of the NCB.”
Rev. Fr. Vincent Chinnathurai, Chairman, Minorities Commission of the Tamil Nadu Government, said, “The Bible is the Holy Book of the Christians. So, to bring out a New Community Bible comparing with the beliefs of other religions and making it as truth [uruvagapaduthavathum] is very wrong. It is an unnecessary act. If any unwanted unpleasant occurrences result because of this, what will we do? We must promote harmony with other religions, not create problems with them. It seems to me that these comparisons are a mistake.”
The conclusion of Nakkheeran, “Already, there is religious conflict going on in some parts of India [the Orissa problem]. True Christians are concerned that this book may create more problems for everyone.”
