So unfotunate for the christian community to encourage "indianised Bible"!
The bible categorically condemens uttering names of pagan gods and ironically the indinised bible includes names from hindu mythology. No wonder muslims claim about the corruption of the word of God. Profanity!!
Will "blind charistians" in the west accept Mary being portayed like Brintey Spears ? Shame on such christains.
Danny singh is correct.Mary is the mother of jesus protrayed as feminine part of god while jesus is masculine part of god.so mother and son figure in christianity controry to hinduism belief of mother and father or husband and wife genders are worshipped together. infact,mary was not worshipped in the early part of christianity but only during the time of st paul,roman god venus was
protrayed as mary and started worshipping her.this is nothing to do with indianising bible which contains many verses not acceptable even to christians and not in line with what present day christianity preaches to convert illitrate and poor ignorant hindus.
