Why Jesus Is Not an Avatar: A Critique of the Indian Hindu and Christian Incarnation Idea of Jesus as ‘Avatar’ on the Basis of Nieene Affirmation for Future Missions

---

Christians believe and confess that God in His chosen time sent His son incarnated in human flesh for the salvation of humans and all creation. This 'carnation’ idea has been equated with the Indian Hindu religious idea of ‘Avatar’ by Indian Christians to inculturate the Gospel message in Indian terms. The Hindus, on the other hand, have used it to challenge Gospel proclamation. The author in this article argues that based on the Nicene Affirmation of Christian faith, the ‘Avatar’ concept brings along with it a refigio-cultural baggage that does not adequately explain the uniqueness of Jesus’ incarnation, and also misleads people from a proper understanding of God and His work of salvation in Jesus Christ. This has consequences for the teaching and mission of the Church.
