So these are some basic Hinduism beliefs of reality:
1. The soul is not created - it is eternal.
2. There is a finite number of souls in the material world.
3. There is an infinite number of souls in the spiritual world.
4. The material world will continue to come into existence for eternity.
5. We don't know whether God intended for our existence as souls, and we do not know what his goal is with us or why he would have intended for us to exist.
Here are some basic Christian beliefs:
1. The Great Hope - All Christians retain the great hope of the second coming spelled out in the book of Revelations. They believe that the material universe will come to a close at a certain point in time and Jesus will return to the Earth as king and will reign forever.
2. There will be no more material universe or material people. There will continue to be no reincarnations. Those who didn't get it right the first time will be tortured for eternity, while those who did get it right will live under the reign of Jesus for eternity.
3. There is not an infinite number of souls in the spiritual world. The number is finite, since everyone will get one chance to go through the earth process of weeding out the good from the bad.
4. God did indeed create us for a specific purpose, primarily the restoration of the earth from Satan. Satan came and destroyed it, so God created man to restore it. When this restoration process is complete, the ultimate goal is for Jesus to return to earth as King and reign under God for eternity. So the Christian God has a plan. He he has a purpose for creating man, and he has an ultimate goal for not only mankind, but the spiritual realm as well.
Hence, we see the slight differences between the Hindu and Christian God. The Christian God is hot tempered and harsh, however he has a plan of action in intentionally creating this universe and mankind.
The Hindu God is more laid back, however he has no real plan or ultimate goal for mankind.
