One way to build bridges would be to do what Jesus did and find the love and light in the existing scriptures and draw attention to those parts.
This thought just occurred to me: What if the trinity concept is an attempt at reconciliation? Basically- it is the concept of a triune godhead of Hinduism blended together with the notion that the primary attribute of God is Love.

Funny... isn't that precisely what Jesus did during those years of his life upon which the Bible is silent?

ROFL! This is hilarious!
According to Bible.org:Quote:The tri-personality of God is exclusively a Christian doctrine and a truth of Scripture.
I suppose they forgot about the Hindus.
