DEEPAK CHOPRA’S ANTI-CHRISTIAN POSITIONS REFUTED
“YOU CAN BECOME GOD” IS THE BIGGEST POSSIBLE LIE AND FALSE PROMISE, AND THE MOST POWERFUL SPIRITUAL AND INTELLECTUAL DRUG TO DESTROY GLOBAL SOCIETY. Again, the Christian faith and the values are under attack. The Third Jesus of Chopra tried to eliminate the real historical Jesus of the Bible, but failed. Now the 13th disciple is on the scene to profane the true Jesus of the Bible and promote false Jesus and false christs. The mission of the 13th disciple is to evangelize the new age third Jesus and proclaim the new age lie of Satan that man can become god just by thinking that man is god. In the mad rush for success, wealth, and popularity, this kind of making mockery of the Bible and the Jesus Christ the only true Savior of mankind, will continue. The American society is the product of Christian value system. Now the anti-Christian forces are trying to attack the Christian faith and values and thereby destroy the very foundations of the American society. Can the USA understand this most critical challenge to its existence? This book exposes and refutes the hypocritical and diabolical New Age agenda against the precious Truth of the Almighty God revealed to mankind as man in Jesus. “You can become god” is the biggest lie, the biggest false promise and the most dangerous spiritual and intellectual drug. Beware of the wolves in sheep’s clothing. Jesus came to give His life to many, but the thieves come to kill and destroy. It is critical. This book will change your life for better, for eternity.
LICENCED TO ATTACK CHRISTIANS, AND MAKE A NAME FOR THEMSELVES. In the books of Chopra, one can easily see flagrant misrepresentations of the Biblical text. If it were not the Bible and Christians, the consequences of such flagrant misrepresentations of religious text, can only be imagined, especially in these times. They easily say Jesus Christ is not the son of God, and go scot free. Can you think of anyone attacking the faith and scriptures of any other religious group in their own bastion, except that of Christians, anywhere else in the world? This supreme tolerance itself is the evidence of the superiority of the truth of Christian faith. Every false teacher and false group is feeling free to attack Christians and Christian faith and go scot free anytime, anywhere. In Christian majority nations, Christian faith is attacked covertly. In nations where Christians are in minority, and where they have made significant contribution for social reformation and development, they are killed in groups. The mentality that Christians and Christ can be attacked anywhere, anytime, should not prevail for good. This again is the proof that Christian faith is the truth, because even when Christians are unjustly attacked, they tend to love and forgive, even when it is possible for them to retaliate. Tolerance and forgiveness is not weakness. Rather it shows the depth and gravity of the truth believed in. And Christians know that there will come a time when at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus is the Lord God almighty. Millions of Christians have pondered over the scriptures, analyzed them, and preached them for 2000 years. They have never found the "third Jesus" that Chopra proclaims, because that Jesus is simply not there. Nevertheless, he simply dismisses the historic Christian faith which millions around the world have cherished close to their heart. CAN CHOPRA DO THIS IN THE CASE OF EVERY OTHER RELIGIOUS TEXT? THE RESPONSE WOULD BE AT LEAST PURE OUTRAGE. Most people these days don’t have enough Bible knowledge to recognize the false teachings spread in every society, by various groups and individuals. This trend can destroy the very foundations of society. Hence especially the American society must urgently encourage critical thinking skills.
CHOPRA'S “THIRD JESUS” IS NOT THE JESUS CHRIST OF THE BIBLE AND CHRISTIANITY. Chopra’s book Third Jesus was an ugly, shameless New Age Christian bashing, intellectually and academically poor, unhistorical and anti-historical, creation of illusion and fiction. The book is intellectually confused and spiritually toxic. Chopra’s Third Jesus has nothing to do with the historical, biblical Jesus worshiped by orthodox Christians. Hence the Jesus Christ of Christianity is not the Third Jesus of Chopra. Through his book Third Jesus, Chopra is essentially shamelessly denying, abusing and maligning the Holy God manifest in human form and showed infinite love to mankind. He is proclaiming his monumental ingratitude to the historical Jesus and the values of the American community which affords him. He also denies the history, the plain meaning of the prophecies of the Hebrew Old testament Scriptures as held by Christians and affirmed by the Jews. He pulls down the historical Jesus, strip off his Biblical attributes in order to push up all other religious leaders to the level of Jesus, to minimize Jesus to the level of a mere enlightened master.
CHOPRA URGES READERS TO ABANDON THE JESUS FOUND IN THE BIBLE AND CHURCH TEACHING, BECAUSE HIS TEACHINGS ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO LIVE BY. Impossible for whom? All Christians of all-time including apostles like Apostle Paul? Such general and ridiculous way of accusing all Christians of all time is not gentle, not with good intentions. It does not have any sort of good scholarship, much less New Testament scholarship, much less good will.
CHOPRA CLAIMS THAT THE HISTORICAL JESUS WAS SWEPT AWAY BY HISTORY. He shamelessly and ignorantly rather cunningly argues that this historical Jesus has been lost, however, swept away by history. The position he takes here proves his ignorance of Christian and secular history or unwillingness understand it or to accept it or a clever effort to subvert it. Chopra's remark about history is absolutely absurd, because Jesus is the most outstanding, standing out both before and after His earthly life. Historical Jesus was the sole basis upon which history is divided into BC and AD. If Jesus is swept away by the ebb and flow of history, then by that same standard no one in the history including Chopra and myself can ever exist at all. Then all the issues of existence and consciousness are also in trouble. Who else, other than historical Jesus is the more vibrating personality in the lives of the people of the earth even today? It is JESUS CHRIST.
CHOPRA CLAIMS THE JESUS BUILT UP BY THEOLOGIANS AND THE CHURCH "NEVER EXISTED". Chopra ignores the fact that historic Christianity is founded on the Scripture and, in spite of all the conflicts and disagreements among denominations, the core set of beliefs has perfectly survived for 2, 000 years. Thus, Christians believe that the historical Jesus is the almighty God in human form, died for the sins of all mankind, rose from the dead on the third day, the only savior of mankind.
CHOPRA REJECTS THE AUTHENTICITY AND CREDIBILITY OF THE BIBLE ESPECIALLY THE NEW TESTAMENT. Chopra assumes that the New Testament is historically inaccurate, written by disciples of Jesus who distorted and manipulated their master's words for their own ends. But he provides no evidence for this false assumption. He is thinking that the disciples were manipulating the words of Jesus, just as Chopra was manipulating JESUS HIMSELF. So at least here Chopra outsmarts the disciples. CHOPRA IS JUST SAYING, DON’T BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE AND IN JESUS CHRIST OF THE BIBLE, BUT JUST BELIEVE WHAT I SAY. AFTER ALL FOR CHOPRA, ABSOLUTE TRUTH IS BLIND TRUTH
CHOPRA DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT A HISTORIC PERSON NAMED JESUS LITERALLY ASCENDED TO HEAVEN, THE WAY THE GOSPELS AND THE BOOK OF ACTS TELL US HE DID. "So then, when the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God" (Mark 16.19). And "Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight" (Acts 1.9). One of the plainest statements is, "For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me" (John 6.38). And also, "No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven" (John 3.13). "Coming down from heaven," as portrayed clearly in the Gospels, refers to the historic incarnation of Jesus.
CHOPRA INSISTS MAN CAN SAVE HIMSELF, IF HE CAN ATTAIN GOD-CONSCIOUSNESS. He means that Jesus intended to save the world by showing others the path to God-consciousness. HERE CHOPRA IS INSERTING HIS OWN VISION AND MISSION INTO THAT OF JESUS. IT IS A TOTALLY ILLEGITIMATE HERMENEUTICAL PRACTICE.
CHOPRA CLAIMS THAT JESUS IS NOT THE SON OF GOD, BUT A CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS, JUST A STATE OF MIND. They make Jesus just one of many that have reached, or will reach Christ consciousness. They make Jesus just a teacher with Christ consciousness rather than God’s only Christ and Savior for mankind’s sins. All those who have Christ consciousness will be Christ.
CHOPRA'S VERSION OF JESUS TEACHES MEN TO REACH GOD-CONSCIOUSNESS, A SAVIOR, NOT THE SAVIOR. Chopra’s favorite version of Jesus is the New Age Jesus created in the unholy illusion of Chopra. This Jesus was "a savior", but "not the savior, not the one and only Son of God. This New Age Jesus simply embodied the highest level of enlightenment. This Jesus would save the world by simply showing others the path to God-consciousness. Chopra seems determined to fit his version of Jesus into the Bible.
CHOPRA IGNORES CORE CHRISTIAN BELIEFS TO PROMOTE THIRD JESUS. Chopra has little interest in the heart of the Gospels: the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Chopra’s Christ has nothing to do with Christianity, the Church, or with the God of the Jews and the Christians. He is concerned only with enlightenment and a higher state of consciousness. He feels that, this Jesus does not ask us to believe in him, but to seek out "his essence, which is the light of pure consciousness". Divine intelligence, "manifests whatever we can imagine". When one achieves God-consciousness "wholeness prevails. ‘I’ and ‘God" become one and the same ". Jesus may be a good example, but he is not the goal, or the only way. Chopra is talking about a state of consciousness, a realization of one's own inherent divinity that all humanity may achieve, with Christ as the model, just showing the path. According to Chopra the material world is an illusion, where we are trapped in a material existence. His illusionary solution to this problem of illusion is the illusion of realizing the illusionary inner "true self" which is divine. According to him, the kind of God you believe in is irrelevant. What matters is that you realize that you are in an illusion. IF EVERYTHING IS ILLUSION CHOPRA AND HIS VIEWS ARE ALSO ILLUSIONS.
CHOPRA DEVIOUSLY ATTEMPTS TO SHIFT FOCUS FROM JESUS AND HIS MISSION TO HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS. By introducing Jesus as a teacher of enlightenment, Chopra plans to change the focus of faith. Then he thinks people don't need to have faith in the Messiah or his mission. Instead, people can have faith in the vision of higher Consciousness. SEE THE HYPOCRISY OF THE CHOPRA. IF THE HISTORICAL JESUS IS SWEPT AWAY BY HISTORY CANNOT BE KNOWN, AND THE IF JESUS OF CHURCH DOCTRINE NEVER EXISTED, HOW SUCH A DETAILED EFFORT TO DENY THE HISTORICAL JESUS IS POSSIBLE NOW? See he just dishonestly evades history to fabricate a Jesus out of his illusion, just to use for his evil New Age project.
CHOPRA’S GOSPEL OF THIRD JESUS IS THAT, MAN IS GOD. The Eastern-New Age premise is that man is part of God and has a divine nature. Man is not a separate individual. Everyone is in everyone else. "God-consciousness" is the realization of one's divinity. All of the misinterpretations of Scripture accomplished in this book are designed encourage the reader to this state of God-consciousness. I can be like God, I can become God” kind of thinking originates in Satan himself: Isaiah 14:12-15.
ACCORDING TO CHOPRA JESUS CHRIST IS NOT GOD, BUT EVERY MAN IS GOD. Existence and consciousness are considered as the most importance issues. Focus is on idolizing the innermost essence of your being, making yourself god, by self realizing your god essence. Just think and say you are God, and you become God.
IN FACT, THE THIRD JESUS IS A PURE MYTH, ILLUSION. The Third Jesus is a New Age Jesus with no defensible historical or textual evidence, is a PURE ILLUSION. Chopra denies the historic Christian faith and misuses the biblical text to promote his own beliefs. Chopra puts aside the historical Jesus Christ of the Scripture and promotes a vague Jesus-figure.
TO PROMOTE HIS VIEWS CHOPRA COMMITS NUMEROUS LOGICAL FALLACIES. He also makes self-refuting statements such as, "Absolute truth is blind truth". This statement itself is an absolute statement or absolute truth claim, and thus it defeats its own assertion. Chopra’s approach to Jesus is arrogant and nonsensical, unhindered by traditional reason and basic logic. HE PROMOTES LIES THROUGH MISINTERPRETATIONS OF THE BIBLE. The historical Jesus is distinct from the universal and impersonal "Christ consciousness" or "God-consciousness," which he embodies but does not monopolize. Orthodox Christian understandings of Jesus are considered narrow-minded, provincial, and limiting. Jesus’ Second Coming is not a literal, visible event at the end of the age, but a stage in the evolutionary advancement of humanity. Bible passages are given esoteric interpretations that contradict orthodox understandings, as well as historical facts.
HIS APPROACH IS ANTI-HISTORICAL. Chopra does not appeal to history, facts, or logic in presenting his version of Jesus. His assumption that his "Third Jesus" should be accepted simply because he, Deepak Chopra, believes in him. He is against Christian dogmas only to promote his own New Age dogmas. He is actually promoting a religion which worships the self. This is spirituality of self-obsession, self-adoration, exaltation of our own rational self-awareness. When the religious belief is detached from the historical events and the focus becomes merely inward, then anyone can teach anything, and any error can be promoted as truth. All can be priests and even gods. Only thing is that some gods are stupid and some gods are cleaver that they create illusions and sell them out.
CHOPRA’S “THE 13TH DISCIPLE” IS A CLEVER ATTACK ON THE BIBLE, JESUS CHRIST, AND CHRISTIANITY. From the third Jesus to the 13th disciple, the number game keeps moving on. The 13th disciple is an attack on Jesus, Bible, Church, and the Christians everywhere. There are false claims in the book about its historicity, religious and biblical scholarship, revealing surprising discoveries about the unknown last disciple of Christ, and a new understanding of who Jesus was in his final days. These are all highly misleading and impossible claims for Chopra to make. Bible is categorical about the 12 disciples of Jesus. Why manipulate the number into 13? Bible gives the only authentic and sufficient understanding about Jesus. But now after 2000 years, Chopra who is unwilling to believe in the Bible and the Jesus Christ of the Bible, is coming now with surprising discoveries and new understanding of Jesus, through a girl projected as the 13th disciple. Why create all these unnecessary claims? Why all these disservice to the loving, submissive, forgiving Christian community? The 13th disciple is pregnant with cunning diabolical suggestions. The 13th disciple intends to further subvert and pervert the person and the gospel of the historical Jesus. Chopra’s third Jesus re-enters the stage with another gospel, through the 13th disciple. But it is an unholy heretical antichristian diabolical fictitious illusionary product of imagination that every intelligent person will reject.
CHOPRA’S INABILITY TO UNDERSTAND THE STAEMENT OF JESUS IS QUITE REVEALING. JESUS SAID, “I AM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME.” AFTER BEING UNWILLING TO BELIEVE IN THE ANSWER JESUS GIVES TO MANKIND’S PERENNIAL SEARCH AND QUESTIONS, CHOPRA SEARCHES FOR THE SAME ANSWERS ELSEWHERE. In fact these concepts find their perfection and embodiment in the person of Jesus Christ. That apart from Jesus these concepts never find their meaningful fulfillment. Hence being unable to believe that Jesus is the way, the truth and life and light, Chopra and his characters seek elsewhere for all these, ultimately to one’s own inner self. He is misleading the readers too, to seek these concepts elsewhere, and not in Jesus.
RELIC WORSHIP, IDOLATRY AND WITCHCRAFT ARE PROMOTED. 13th disciple is the imaginative story of six people, who are on the path to truth. The six strangers on a spiritual adventure, are pulled by a mystic object, a solid gold miniature shrine, are pushed into the ancient world of mystery, putting them on the path to the truth. There is dependence on the mystery of the imaginary relic, bone of an anonymous saint and visions associated with it. RELIC WORSHIP IS IDOLATRY AND WITCHCRAFT AND IT IS AN ABOMINATION TO THE GOD OF THE BIBLE AND THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BIBLICAL THEOLOGY. The core of the whole story relates to the solid gold reliquary, gold box that holds a sacred relic--a single finger bone, from an anonymous saint, having a dangerous secret known only to a small band of people, that if one touches the reliquary, a sacred vision is received, a vision involving a young girl who had a chance encounter with Jesus just before he was crucified. And this girl is canonized as the final and truest disciple of Christ.
THE 13TH DISCIPLE HAS WITH HER SOME MYSTICAL ANTICHRISTAN AND ANTIBIBLICAL MESSAGE. It is said that “their knowledge of the young girl and Jesus is at once so fascinating yet so highly controversial that it cannot be shared with the world. This young girl, curious about Jesus, embarks on a quest to find out who he really was. She is made to find something far different from the accepted gospels. It is suggested that the reliquary contains a secret that could very well change the history of Christianity and forever redefine what it means to be a person of faith. SEE THE ATTAMPT IS PURELY TO SUBVERT THE CHRISTIAN FAITH. Anyone can make sense of the reliquary and its mysterious contents, in their own way. Each one can progress through his own wild imaginations. For all the service the 13th disciple would do to the Christian faith, she is canonized as the last and truest apostle of Christ. Of the six members of the mystery school, the 13th disciple woman is presented as more believable than all other apostles, perhaps because she is expected to speak against the true historical Jesus of the Bible. Now the utmost tragedy is that the readers should believe in the gospel version that this 13th disciple of Chopra will proclaim. The gospel of the 13th disciple is the New Age gospel of Chopra. Creating such imaginative unhistorical stories about Jesus and giving false and unbiblical picture about Jesus is highly misleading. It has direct or indirect intention of attacking Christian faith.
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO THE 13TH DISCIPLE REJECTS THE ESSENCE OF CHRISTIANITY, ARGUES FOR MYSTERY AND ILLUSION. IT IS THE ATTEMPT OF PANTHEISM-MONISM TO SWALLOW CHRISTIANITY. THE WHOLE POINT IS, BY JUST CHANGING YOUR THINKING, YOU CAN BECOME GOD. METHOD IS DO IT YOURSELF. Somes Quotes from the last pages the 13th disciple: “Jesus promises eternal life, and he is continually taken literally by the Christian faithful. Fundamentalists for instance, believe heaven is a physical destination; on the judgment day, the bodies will rise from the grave and join Christ somewhere above the clouds”. “All the beautiful truths expressed by the great spiritual leaders have gotten obscured by hoping and wishing that they are real, when what is needed is actually simple and natural, the expansion of consciousness. For me that is the secret to the New Testament. It is a manual for higher consciousness and Jesus in his clarity of mind, knew precisely what it means to live in the highest state of consciousness where I and the Father are one”. “In a moment of choosing the process of transformation can begin, and once it does you have taken the first and most important step into God’s reality”. “He is the tree, the fruit, and the shade, He is the sun, the light and the dream”. So it is suggested that if I believe I am God, then I can experience eternity now. Then nothing is a miracle and everything is a miracle. It is assumed that God is inside you by default, like an ocean. You only have to realize it.
HIGHEST AIM IS TO REACH A COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS. The conclusion of the book is ultimately that REALITY IS MORE MYSTERIOUS than we think it is. The biggest problems he confronts are: What is the universe made of? What is the basis of consciousness? We don’t know what existence is, and why there is awareness of existence. The solution he offers is contemplation and inner-inquiry. Their spiritual has only one aim. IT IS TO REALIZE WHO YOU ARE. The suggestion is that when it is realized you will become God. So silly. According to Chopra, man is in the essential trap of wondering at the details of the physical universe and of having consciousness about it. Wondering at the inability of man to understand the universe leads him to honor it with divinity and mystery. The whole physical universe and everything in it is ultimately accepted as God. Here pure pantheism and monism is at work. After unreasonably rejecting the biblical view of life, death, and the solution for the death problem, he is moving into his own manipulated solutions searching for a higher being, higher reality or higher consciousness.
SUPREME FOLLY OF THE NEW AGERS AND THE CHOPRAS IS THAT MAN CAN BECOME GOD. THUS THE CREATION IS MADE GOD. AND THE REAL GOD IS REJECTED. THIS IS THE SUPREME FOLLY. THE ALMIGHTY GREAT GOD WHO CREATED THIS MAGNIFICENT UNIVERSE WITH A WORD IS IGNORED. AND THAT GOD WHO REVEALED HIMSELF TO MANKIND AS A HUMAN IN JESUS IS RIDICULED THROUGH NEGLECT. In fact understanding the created universe should be secondary. Understanding the Creator and His view should be primary. Chopra fails to realize this simple thing. What is really important is realizing the problem of man and the solution God offers him in Jesus, in this short life. GOD HAS DESIGNED MAN TO KNOW AND LOVE GOD, AND NOT FOR KNOWING THE CREATED UNIVERSE.
BEWARE OF WOLVES IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING. CHOPRA: THE MAN AND HIS MISSION: He is said to be educated in an Irish missionary school in India, where he knew about Jesus. But he kept rejecting the Christian gospel all the time. He is a staunch advocate of New Age spirituality which is against the Christian gospel. Even though he mentions Biblical terminologies in his books, his primary objective is disproving the fundamental truth of the Bible that Jesus is God, the almighty savior of mankind.
CHOPRA’S CLAIMS: His claims seem to be very self assuming, and projecting himself. He claims that many people have changed their lives after encountering his messages. How it all affected their lives ultimately is what is to be worried about. He claims that he has grown to become one of the greatest spiritual leaders. His teachings on the harmony of the universe, the mind, body, and soul, love, pure joy and what it takes to be successful have inspired many of this generations' greatest leaders. What matters is not the number of books you write, but what is the truth quality of the content of the books.
NOT ACADEMIC AND SCHOLARLY: He disbelieves, disagrees challenges and denies the age-old historically sound Biblical truths, without the support of historical facts and logical reasons. His approach is basically mystical, anti-historical, anti-Christian and anti-Jesus. He does not present a well researched, scholarly, honest view of Jesus, but a personal view based on his intuition. A clear dislike for scholarship is obvious. He doesn't seem to be interested in logically thinking about God, especially the personal God of the Jews and the Christians.
NEW AGE PHILOSOPY CANNOT BE ACADEMIC AND OBJECTIVE, IT CAN OFFER ONLY CHEAP SPIRITUALITY. The New Age movement appealed to the drugged-out hippies because it offered them easy cheap spirituality, and promised them that if they just shift their consciousness, they themselves can become God. It did not demand good science, good logic, good ethics etc. They have no obligation to prove anything, or to defend anything. They just keep claiming big things. They claim they are gods. EVERYBODY IS HAPPY TO BE GOD. AFTER ALL, IT IS THE BIGGEST OFFICE, AND BIGGEST OFFER ONE CAN GET.
CANOT BE HISTORICAL: Any historical evaluation will devastate their entire new age project, because the contributions of this philosophy to the societies in the recent and ancient past are so tragic and horrible. MERE ILLUSIONS AND FANTASIES: They try to squeeze God and realities into the framework of their unhistorical, unreal fantasies self attested as illusions and mysteries, punctuated and controlled by intermittent use of pseudo scientific terminologies to captivate people.
THOSE WHO ENDORSE SUCH ANTI-JESUS BOOKS CAN ONLY BE THE DISCIPLES OF JUDAS, THE 12TH DISCIPLE OF JESUS: Chopra's Jesus is not the Jesus Christ of the Bible. And yet, some professing Christians endorse his books which deny the very foundations of the faith they claim to be following. But in fact they have already denied the essentials of the historic Christian faith. They are to be considered as apostates or disciples of Judas, the 12th disciple. Such books can be praised only by false and nominal Christians, who are mere professionals in the institutional church set up for a salary and position. They are in the church just for fame, for wealth popularity and control, not by commitment to the Christian faith. For money and popularity, they will say anything against Jesus and Bible.
“YOU CAN BECOME GOD” IS THE BIGGEST LIE, THE BIGGEST FALSE PROMISE AND THE MOST DANGEROUS SPIRITUAL AND INTELLECTUAL DRUG. The cow suffered so much by the lion, and so wanted to become a Lion. So the cow changed her consciousness and was feeling like the lion, till the lion came back. Somebody wants to become the US president, and so just change the consciousness and behave like the US President and end up in some mental hospital or so. Worse than everything else you want to become God, and no problem, just change your consciousness, realize that you are God, and the wonder of all wonders, you have become God. O my silly friend, after all who is God, and who you are? Jesus had prophesied about this kind of a situation and time. That many would come calling themselves Christ. Jesus said do not follow them or be deceived by them. Jesus will come back physically and will display in power and glory and every eye will see him. There will be no question about his physical identify. There will no more be any need of any debate. Jesus Christ is not a consciousness he is a real individual. He is the only Son of God who came to take away the sins of the world. Those who are teaching Christ consciousness are really setting up the world for false Christs, deception and ultimately the Antichrist. There will come many with many false christs and false disciples to deceive many.
BUT BE NOT DECIEVED. Often those victims of materialism, thirsty for some kind of a solution, easily stumble upon these false promises and end up with eternal frustration of hell fire. When you understand the great love, God has manifested through His appearance in Jesus Christ, all your questions will be solved. Love of God making us His own sons, is the greatest promise and gift we can think of; Not material success and prosperity.
THE MOST LOGICAL AND SAFEST POSITION FOR ANY PERSON IS ACCEPTING JESUS AS HIS SAVIOR AND GOD. Because, the believer in Jesus will have eternal bliss, if he is right, and lose nothing, even if he is wrong. Because, no belief system in the world claims that, simply because one believes in Jesus, one will go to hell. But on other hand, those who reject Jesus have the infinitely dangerous alternative of eternal damnation in hell, because the Bible which is the most authentic source of spiritual information on earth categorically warns that those who reject Jesus shall be punished with eternal hell. The Christian faith is historically verifiable, intelligent and objective faith. Those who reject Christian faith can never stand on a more logical faith.
