Eastern Philosophies Make No Distinction Between Holiness and Sinfulness
A recent book that’s appealing to a lot of post-moderns titled The Third Jesus: The Christ We Cannot Ignore by Indian-born doctor-turned-guru Deepak Chopra has got a lot of people seriously interested in thinking about Jesus–albeit in a different way. Definitely not in the way Jesus would want you to think about Him. This is a dangerous philosophy floating around with a lot of mumbo-jumbo sticking to it, much to the delight of unhappy Christians. Chopra, author of over 49 books on new-age subjects, portrays Jesus as a mystical person not the Savior of the world, certainly not an exclusive Savior. Jesus is not the only son of God, He is not the only way to heaven, He is not the exclusive God and the only God that orthodox or Biblical Christianity believes. To Chopra, Jesus would never offend homosexuals, or sinners. He simply accepts them. He is here to make us all experience God-Consciousness–a term confusing and bewildering that many despaired Christians find riveting due to its esoteric appeal. Sadly, many Christians who don’t understand the deceptions of Eastern philosophies like Yoga and New Age would easily shift their worldview to this new-age claptrap.

In The Third Jesus, Chopra writes there is not one Jesus, but three. First, there is the historical Jesus, the man who lived more than two thousand years ago and whose teachings are the foundation of Christian theology and thought. Next there is Jesus the Son of God, who has come to embody an institutional religion with specific dogma, priesthood and devout believers. And finally, there is the third Jesus, the cosmic Christ, the spiritual guide whose teaching embraces all humanity, not just the Church built in His name. He speaks to the individual who wants to find God as a personal experience, to attain what some might call grace, or God-consciousness, or enlightenment.

Chopra is arguing for a syncretistic Christianity, a mix and match, a pot-luck faith where we all feast on different foods. The question is: how sure are we that we are not feasting on contaminated food, even worse food that can poison our soul?

This is classic postmodern inclusivism, a kind of Hegelian dialectic, which argues there is no right or wrong thesis but a synthesis of two opposing ideologies.

It’s the tragedy of western Christianity that in many churches and institutions Jesus has been deconstructed to become a laconic teacher, a pagan Christ, a Gnostic revealer, a de-enlightened male, a magician, a cynic philosopher. Put simply, He has been transmogrified. It’s a fascinating word that American Heritage dictionary says, “To change into a different shape or form, especially one that is fantastic or bizarre”.

Chopra is reducing Jesus to be another eastern mystic and not as the incarnation of God. Jesus is certainly eastern, precisely middle-eastern, but the geographical origin of His birth doesn’t reduce His deity. Jesus still remains who He is: the only incarnate God who lived on earth. The world’s calendar divides on His birth, AD and BC.

Chopra is teaching nothing more than pagan Eastern Mysticism which says that we are all “God”. “God” in Eastern Religions is all creation. It says that everything in creation, the rocks, the stars, the planets, bugs, fish, animals, human beings all inclusively make up this single holistic “God consciousness”. Eastern philosophies make no distinction between holiness and sinfulness. The idea that man is a fallen human being is considered to be an affront to human dignity. It accepts that mankind is inherently good and that we all can experience God within without ever having to place faith in Christ as our redeemer.

The essence of Chopra’s argument is that Christianity needs to overcome its tendency to be exclusionary and refocus on being a religion of personal insight and spiritual growth. In this way Jesus can be seen for the universal teacher he truly is–someone whose teachings of compassion, tolerance, and understanding can embrace and be embraced by all of us.

I have been keeping a close watch on Chopra's "teachings" for a long time. I find that his teachings are so misleading. Many of my simple minded "HINDU" friends find it so confusing.

I think he is in it for the money. reminds me of "What profits a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own life"

Dr. Chopra will write about any famous person and cash on them.
When people became famous, they can very well write on different
subjects, and the people will buy the books out of curiosity.

Avery shady character/con man/his writings can have an averse effect on a young budding believer.
The devil has many ways of misleading people, he can use anyone, in any way or manner.

Deepak Chopra is a follower and student of Maharishi Mahayogi the founder of TM or Trancendental Meditation. To get into TM one has to give 7 fruits or flowers and a White Handkerchief. This is used for an occult practice , after which the student is given a mantra. He or she is told not to disclose the mantra to anyone. The fact is that this mantra is the calling of a deva or devi ,some god , which is in fact a demon. When this demon is called there is a radical change as the demon influences the individual who calls its name and has faith in the same.There is nothing of truth or Christian in anything that Deepak Chopra says or writes about. He is an instrument of the anti-Christ and a true case of the Blind Leanding the blind.Jesus said "I am the way and the Truth and the Life, NO one goes to the Father except through me, anyone else came to steal,kill and destroy" Deppak Chopra ,his guru Maharishi Maha Yogi and their likes are those others who came to steal souls, kill their faith in the One True God who sent Jesus Christ and to Destroy Lives.Deepak Chopra is a lost soul and is misleadind Millions. He is also a very rich man .He needs too be exposed more throughly. He calls the Church an organisation of Idiots when is one of the foremost idiots and spiritual blind man who is leading the blind.Truly he should take a millstone and put it around his neck and jump into the sea..........

Laminin - The Glue That Holds Us Together . . . ALL Of Us . . . Is in The Shape Of The Cross

"He [Jesus] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created; things in heaven and on earth , visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things HOLD TOGETHER." Colossians 1:15-17

Laminin - The Cell Adhesion Molecule That Holds Us Together Is In The Shape Of The CROSS!


Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia

Laminin is a protein found in the extracellular matrix, the sheets of protein that form the substrate of all internal organs also called the basement membrane. It is the major non-collagenous component of the basal lamina, such as those on which cells of an epithelium sit.[1] It has four arms that can bind to four other molecules. The three shorter arms are particularly good at binding to other laminin molecules, which is what makes it so great at forming sheets. The long arm is capable of binding to cells, which helps anchor the actual organs to the membrane.



The laminin protein is made up of three separate parts, called the A, B1, and B2 chains. That gives it a total of six "ends", which accounts for a lot of its flexibility in connecting up various kinds of molecules. Because of this, scientists who create biomaterials are extremely interested in the whole family of laminins[citation needed]. They are a family of glycoproteins that are an integral part of the structural scaffolding in almost every animal tissue. Laminins are secreted and incorporated into cell-associated extracellular matrices.

Laminin is vital to making sure overall body structures hold together. Improper production of laminin can cause muscles to form improperly, leading to a form of muscular dystrophy.

____________________________________________

Listen to message entitled "How Great Is Our God!" by Louie Giglio, this section talks about Laminin, an amazing molecule in the human body.

"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God!" -1 Corinthians 1:18

Laminin, an Important Protein that Look Like a Cross-Truth!

Summary of the eRumor:

The eRumor talks of a substance called "laminin" that is described as part of a family of proteins that "hold us together." Then there is a picture of laminin---which looks like a cross.

The Truth:

This story leads into complex considerations of science and biology but the main questions it prompts are whether laminin is as important as the eRumor claims and does it have a shape like a cross.

The simple answer to both questions seems to be yes.



Laminin is defined by the Webster Medical Dictionary as a "glycoprotein that is a component of connective tissue basement membrane and that promotes cell adhesion." In other words, looking at laminin as a kind of glue isn't far from the truth. There are several different laminins.

In their book The Laminins authors Peter Elkblom and Rupert Timpl go into more detail about both the importance of laminins and their structure. They describe laminins that, together with other proteins, "hold cells and tissues together." They also say, "Electron microscopy reveals a cross-like shape for all laminins investigated so far." They went on to say that in solution the laminin shapes were more like a flower than a cross. The strands of laminins do not always stand straight and at right angles, but they do consists of arms, three of which are short and one of which is long.

Research has been conducted on laminins in connection with numerous conditions and diseases. It has been found, for example, that people with congenital muscular dystrophies do not have laminin-alpha2, which is normally found in the layer of cells around muscle fibers and other cells important to the structural integrity of muscle cells.

A real example of the eRumor as it has appeared on the Internet:

A couple of days ago I was running (I use that term very loosely) on my treadmill, watching a DVD sermon by Louie Giglio...and I was BLOWN AWAY! I want to share what I learned....but I fear not being able to convey it as well as I want.
I will share anyway.

He (Louie) was talking about how inconceivably BIG our God is...how He spoke the universe into being...how He breathes stars out of His mouth that are huge raging balls of fire...etc. etc. Then He went on to speak of how this star-breathing, universe creating God ALSO knitted our human bodies together with amazing detail and wonder. At this point I am LOVING it (fascinating from a medical standpoint, you know.) .....and I was remembering how I was constantly amazed during medical school as I learned more and more about God's handiwork. I remember so many times thinking...."How can ANYONE deny that a Creator did all of this???"

Louie went on to talk about how we can trust that the God who created all this, also has the power to hold it all together when things seem to be falling apart...how our loving Creator is also our sustainer.

And then I lost my breath.

And it wasn't because I was running my treadmill, either!!!
It was because he started talking about laminin.
I knew about laminin. Here is how wikipedia describes them :"Laminins are a family of proteins that are an integral part of the structural scaffolding of basement membranes in almost every animal tissue." You see....laminins are what hold us together....LITERALLY. They are cell adhesion molecules. They are what holds one cell of our bodies to the next cell. Without them, we would literally fall apart. And I knew all this already. But what I didn't know is what laminin LOOKED LIKE.

But now I do. And I have thought about it a thousand times since (already)....
Here is what the structure of laminin looks like...AND THIS IS NOT a "Christian portrayal" of it....if you look up laminin in any scientific/medical piece of literature, this is what you will see...

Now tell me that our God is not the coolest!!!
Amazing.
The glue that holds us together....ALL of us....is in the shape of the cross.

Immediately Colossians 1:15-17 comes to mind.
"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
For by him all things were created; things in heaven and on earth , visible and invisible,
whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities;
all things were created by him and for him.
He is before all things,
and in Him all things HOLD TOGETHER. "
Colossians 1:15-17

Call me crazy. I just think that is very, very, very cool.
Thousands of years before the world knew anything about laminin, Paul penned those words. And now we see that from a very LITERAL standpoint, we are held together...one cell to another....by the cross.

You would never in a quadrillion years convince me that is anything other than the mark of a Creator who knew EXACTLY what laminin "glue" would look like long before Adam even breathed his first breath!!

Praise the Lord!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pandit Dharm Prakash Sharma

This great Brahmin, Pandit Dharm Prakash Sharma, the only son of the chief priest of Pushkar Teertha, Ajmer (Rajastan) came to know Lord Jesus Christ as his life, his Lord and his saviour by reading the “Sermon On The Mount” which was a part of his college curriculum and which also influenced Mahatma Gandhi, his mentor, tremendously. Panditji says “The desire of the vedic rishis from ages was a quest to seek the ultimate realization of the the true God and His grace. The same thirst of my heart was fired through the power of this great good news of the heavenly Father and brought me at the feet of the eternal God.” He had a brilliant career first as a well-known film star, then a prominent business executive and finally as a member of the Indian Parliament. Ten years after his knowing the living God and ten days before his death, the senior Pandit Sohan Lal, his father said to him “My son, for ten years I have watched your life change and the resulting peace. You are on the true path and have found the way. Your Lord is my Lord too.” His is a life of the quest of the living God ultimately finding fulfilment despite all manner of difficulties and opposition. It was through the spiritual strength of his wife Smt. Asha Ji, which guided him to a very intimate relationship with the Lord and experience the true meaning of fulfillment. Pandit Sharma was an advisor to Indira Ghandi and originates from a city in India called "Pushkar" (the Holy of holies, the destination of the righteous hindu), that is like the "Jerusalem" to the Jews and Christians or the Vatican to the Roman Catholic church, he is the son of the chief priest of Pushkar. He is fluent in both English and Hindi, and is devoting the rest of his life in sharing the Word of God and true meaning of atonement.

Whosoever Shall Call On The Name Of The Lord shall Be Saved - Acts 2:21

This booklet “Pathway to Moksha” is written by Pandit Dharm Prakash Sharma, the son of the chief priest of Pushkar Teertha, Ajmer, India, and contains in brief; the truth from ancient books (scriptures) and his journey with Prabhu Ishu Krisht (Lord Jesus Christ).

The Pathway to Moksha

The five Pandava brothers had just finished the Holy Mahabarat war. They had even completed the sacrifice that pertains to victorious kings, symbolizing the glory of the king as that of the rising sun. Now all that was left to be done was to attain the ultimate bliss before completing their earthly pilgrimage, and in pursuance of that goal of attaining true salvation, they arrived at the pilgrim center of Haridwar.

In order to attain Moksha (salvation) at any cost, and thus satisfy the one and only deepest longing of the human soul, they came to the banks of the great Ganga and there washed themselves in holy bath ritually at Har Ki Paudi of Brahma Kund and then proceeded to climb the glorious valleys of Himalayan mountains to achieve the fulfillment and satiate their quest for salvation.

Whether the ritual bathing at Brahma Kund in the Ganga waters had brought them onto the purest and Holy path of attaining Moksha remained an unanswered mystery which only the Savior and eternal God knows. We can hear the warning bells toll as we take care to listen to the voice to Shrimad Bhagvad Gita:

“Mannusham Lokam Mukti Dwaram'” which means that this life span in the body of human beings is the gateway of liberation.

The great need of salvation and why it cannot be attained

The tangible experience of Moksha or salvation is the hardest problem, and the greatest need of mankind. How clearly the book of Vivek Choodamani casts light upon this fact when it says that among all the living creation, the birth of human kind is attained with difficulty, more especially that of male body. To be born a Brahmin is rare; rarer to be born attached to Vedic Dharma. The hardest to acquire among these is that birth that understands the mystery of Brahma (the only God) and Maya (bondage of sin, illusion and ignorance and then find the path to attain Moksha (salvation).

Pandit Dharam Prakash Sharma YouTube Part 2 of 11



There is a very beautiful story from Vedic scenario that graphically depicts the difficulty in acquiring Moksha or salvation. There once was a man who in search of the easiest way of redemption, went to Adi Sankaracharya. The guru then said, the one who has to attain oneness with God in order to receive salvation, has to be truly equal to the man who has the patience to sit by the ocean and dig a pit on the sandy shore. Then he would have to take a blade of Kusha grass and dip it in the ocean water to bring out drop by drop of the ocean through the blade of grass, into the pit that he dug. When all the sea water is brought out into that pit, then he would attain Moksha.

The quest for Moksha and its attainment

All the penance of the generations of the Aryan sages and pilgrim saints were in search of the way of salvation. Beginning at the Vedas and journeying through the Upanishads, the Aranyakas and Puranaas, they continued their pilgrimage through the Nirguna (in spirit) and Saguna (in blissful form) the path of devotion. Though they kept pressing forward with unshaken and true spiritual thirst it was not at all possible to perceive and experience “Moksha” in reality anywhere? As man bound by sin, continues to persist in his search for truth, it seems as though the eternal God (and attaining Him in experience) play hide and seek with man and the cry goes out. How long? How long.will it go on?

Pandit Dharam Prakash Sharma YouTube Part 3 of 11



But, behold at such grim and groaning moments of utter darkness, ages ago on the length and breadth of the vast horizon, there appeared a silver lining in the sky. The history of the world stands witness to the truth that nearly two thousand years ago at a time when all the major philosophies of the religions of the world had reached their zenith; the philosophy of the Greeks, the Sankhya, the Vedanta, the yoga, the Hebrew, the Jain, the Buddhist, the Persian and others and their sun was setting, while mankind was languishing on the spiritual horizon, the most High God himself took body in the Person of the Prabhu Ishu Krisht (Lord Jesus Christ), being the full incarnation or Purna Avatara. He was manifested so that, the burden of the wages of sin, and the bondage of death or “Karma – danda” which inflicts mankind; maybe lifted by Him personally. Having said, “it is finished”, He gladly offered Himself to atone for man's sin on the altar of sacrifice, which is the Cross of Christ Jesus. By His incarnation as Man and while suffering death under that incarnation for man, He has fulfilled His role las 'TRATA' (only Savior of mankind) and 'Pitratam Pitranga' (most cherished heavenly fatherliness of all fathers, envisaged in Rig Veda 4:17:17).

The Lord Jesus Christ, the author of salvation and sinless and perfect Incarnation

The panoramic creation of beautiful nature; the sons and daughters of the land of Aryans that is called Bharat (India), years through the length and breadth for its only Creator and the living God. The ardent prayers of the Vedas, the deepest yearnings of the Upanishads are all directed towards that one most Holy and purest of beings, the Liberator of sinners.

Pandit Dharam Prakash Sharma YouTube Part 4 of 11



In order to mitigate the sufferings that abound in and all around the universe, many great personalities and saints, prophets and priests or kings and monarchs were born but there was still left in every nook and corner of this earth a palpable yearning and longing for the One who can redeem man from the endless power of death's sting and grant full salvation; even the holy, blameless perfect incarnation of a wonderful loving God. It was then from out of the bosom of a dark night that morning star appeared. The eternal and uncreated One, the Alpha and Omega God for the first and the last, took upon Himself the human incarnation out of deep compassion for the human race which was helplessly trapped in the strongest grip of sin. It was such a perfect incarnation for which the whole creation and every living creature eagerly looked for with a great hope. The venerable and adorable words from the Vedic scriptures like “Vagg Vai Brahma” (Brhado Aranyaka Upanishad 1:3, 21, 4:1, 2) meaning “The logos is the indestructible God, the Supreme Leader who is the cause and governor of all creation (Rigveda 10: 125) who to protect and save sinful mankind; Himself appeared upon the earth, wrapped in a body that is holy and without sin”.





GOD WILL REVEAL THE PLOTS OF THE WICKED TO US THAT WE BE NOT ENSNARED BY THEM. LOOK TO THE LORD AND HE WILL PROTECT YOU.

I speak unto thee this day and I say that it is me the Living God who does reveal the plots of the wicked that you be not snared by the same. For I say that it is a pleasure unto me to reveal those ones that are wicked, to reveal their iniquities, to reveal their corruption. For I say indeed when men are full of wickedness and corruption, I say that they plot against my own. I say that it is through me the Living God that those plots are revealed and exposed that my people can be made free. I say that I the Living God have never intended that my people would be entangled in the plots of the wicked though they are many against them. But I say that I have intended that my people would be attentive unto me, walking always in the light that I provide. I say if my people who are called by my name will look unto me, I say that they will be uplifted and brought forth. I say that they will be given the newness of life that I delight to provide, brought forth in the same.

I say that it is a good thing and a sweet thing, it is a blessed thing to walk in the truth that I provide, to be uplifted in the joyousness of my presence, to be uplifted in the power and the glory of who I am. I say if it is me that you look unto, I say that you will be uplifted and brought forth. I say that you will be pointed in the way that is my truth, my light, my strength, my glory. I say that it is me the Living God who will uplift thee and bring thee forth, it is me the Living God who will purpose thee, it is me the Living God who will cause thee to be glad. I say when it is me that you look unto, I say that you will be gravitated to the light that I provide. But I say that if you look to the plots of the wicked, you will be ensnared and entangled for I say that they will seduce thee. I say that they will take thee away from the truth, the light, the strength, the glory of who I am.

Therefore I say unto thee this day do not be entangled, do not be ensnared, do not be overwhelmed. I say when you are giving yourself to that which is falsity and vanity, you will be easily overwhelmed. I say that you will be taken away from the truth and swallowed in lies because you have listened to deceit. But I say when you are walking in the sound principles that I the Living God do give unto thee I say that you will be able to keep away from those seducing enticements that the enemy would send at thee to beguile thee. I say that oftentimes the enemy will send the forces of darkness, I say that he will send the forces of darkness to devour thee again and again. But I say that if you will steadfastly maintain the truth and walk in the same, I say that you are kept. I say that you are uplifted in the glorious light that I delight to provide unto thee.

Therefore I say this day be glad that it is me the Living God who does give thee the truth, who does give thee the light,, who does give thee the mercy. Be glad that it is by me that you can be directed in the way that I have ordained, the way that I have intended. I say if you will be cleaving unto me, I say that you will be brought forth. I say that you will be given the light that I the Living God desire thee to walk in all of thy days. Therefore I say do not be fretful, nor fearful, but I say be looking unto me. I say that if it is me that you look unto, it is me who will uplift thee and give thee my light. It is me that you look unto, it is me who will uplift thee and give thee my peace. I say that it is me the Living God who will show thee the way that I have intended, the way that is my truth, my power, my glory. It is me the Living God who will show thee the way that I have intended, the way that is the way of life, the way of strength, the way of power, the way of glory.

Therefore I say be glad that it is me that you can believe in, that it is me that you can trust in, that it is me that you can look unto again and again. Be glad to be knowing that I am the one who will prove to be the rock of refuge, the strength, the glory, the life everlasting intended for thee. Be glad to be knowing that it is not through any other but it is through me the Living God that ye are uplifted and brought forth, and that ye are given the hope that I delight to provide thee all of thy days. I say when it is me that you look unto, it is me who will provide the way unto thee, it is me who will provide the light before thee, it is me who will keep thee in the security of my presence.

I say that if you will keep cleaving unto me, you will not be enticed by seducing spirits, I say you will be led solidly forth in the way that I have ordained. But I say when you are flirting with those things that are seduction, of course you will be ensnared and entangled. I say that you will be taken away from the truth that I delight to provide unto thee. Therefore I say unto thee this day look ye unto me in faith, and in hope, and in confidence for I am the rock of refuge intended for thee. Look ye unto me knowing that it is me the Living God who will uplift thee and give thee my light. Look ye unto me knowing that it is in me that you shall be brought forth and given the hope that I alone can provide thee. But I say that if you follow after the plots of the wicked, I say you will be ensnared and entangled away from the truth.

I say there are many even now they have found themselves in a web of deceit, I say they live in confusion day by day. I say they live in delusion and madness because their hearts are far from me. I say they have followed after vanity, they have followed after vexation, stupidity and darkness. I say because of their following they are taken away from the truth that I delight to provide. I say why will you follow that which will take thee into a web, why will you follow that which will ensnare thee and entangle thee? I say that it is stupidity to turn away from the soundness of the truth, that I provide thee and turn unto that which is deception. I say when you are turning to deception you are turning to that which is literally destruction. I say that I the Living God have never called thee to be destroyed, but I have called thee to be brought forth. I say that I have called thee to be uplifted in the glorious realms of light that I can provide unto thee all of thy days. I say that I have called thee to come forth in the truth of who I am that you could be made glad, that you could be giving thanks, that you could be giving praise.

I say that it is in me the Living God that you find the truth, that you find the light, that you find the strength, the power, the glory. It is in me the Living God that you shall be brought forth by a plain path for I shall bring thee forth. If you will walk in the light day by day, by day, that I provide unto thee. I say that you will be spared from the plots of the wicked that have been devised against thee. Therefore I say this day do not be entangled, do not be ensnared, do not be overwhelmed, and overtaken. But I say be brought forth in the way that I provide thee for it is the way of my truth. I say be brought forth in the way that I provide thee that is the way of my light.

I say walk ye uprightly in the same, giving thanks and praise that I alone am thy God. I say walk ye uprightly in the same, giving thanks and praise that I am the one who will uplift thee and guide thee, and direct thee again and again. I say that if it is me that you look unto in faith, if it is me that you will believe in, it is of me that you will receive. But I say that if you will believe the cunningly devised fables of wicked men, I say you will be entangled in the same. I say the Living God have never called thee to such entanglement but I say that I have called thee to the righteousness of who I am. I say that I have called thee to walk in the truth that I provide thee all of thy days.

Therefore I say know that it is me the Living God who will give unto thee all that you have need of again and again. Know that it is me the Living God who will provide the way before thee that you can walk in me, rejoicing always. I say that if it is me that you cleave unto, if it is me that you believe in, I say that it is me who will uplift thee. I say that yes indeed, I will bring thee forth by the way that I the Living God do intend for thee. I say that I intend thee to walk in the righteousness, to walk in the truth, to walk in the declaration that I do have for thee. I say when you will be walking in the same, keeping yourselves unspotted from the world, I say that you are kept. I say that you are brought forth as only I can bring thee forth and you will be glad, being able to rejoice always in me.

I say that it is me the Living God who is the strength, the truth, the power, the glory provided unto thee. It is me the Living God who is the way, the life, the strength, the power, the glory that ye are intended to live in all of thy days. Therefore I say thank me and praise me that you can be reliant upon me, looking to me, believing in me. Thank me and praise me that you can draw of the truth that I give thee and you will be kept in a sober frame of mind. But I say that if you take those things that the enemy would offer unto thee to drink I say that you will become intoxicated by the same. I say you will be taken away from the clarity, the purity, of the truth that I delight to provide unto thee.

Therefore I say this day do not be drinking that which the enemy’s offer thee for it is seduction. I say do not be drinking that which the enemy would offer thee for it is enticement. But I say be drinking of that which I the Living God do provide thee for it is my truth. I say that if you will walk in the truth that I give thee, I say that you will be uplifted and brought forth in me. I say that if you will walk in the truth that I give thee, I say you will be glad, always able to thank me and praise me.

I say that it is me the Living God who has intended that you would walk in the truth, that you would walk in the light, that you would walk in the strength of who I am. It is me the Living God who has intended that you would be uplifted by the strength of the truth that I provide unto thee to direct thee in the way. I say that if it is me that you will ever be looking unto, it is me who will uplift thee and bring thee forth. I say that it is me who will give thee light, give thee the power, give thee the mercy. Be glad that you are privileged to look to me, that you are privileged to believe me, that you are privileged to walk in me. Be glad that it is not through any other but it is through me the Living God that the life, the peace, the safety, are to be found. Be glad that as you will steadfastly cleave unto the truth that the truth shall keep thee. I say that you do not need to be in the heap of despair wherein those who have turned aside are found to be laid.

But I say that you can be marching forth in the truth that I give thee, you can be standing strong in the same, you can be uplifted , rejoicing. I say that you do not need to dwell among the deluded, among the confused because you have refused the clarity of my purpose. I say that it is me the Living God who will bring thee forth in the way that is my light, the way that is my strength, my power, my glory. It is me the Living God who will bring thee forth in the way that I do intend for thee. Therefore I say be glad that you are privileged to love me, to choose me, to walk in me all of thy days. Be glad that you are privileged to be uplifted, to be brought forth, to be given the life that I provide. Be glad that you are brought forth in the way that I the Living God intend before thee, the way that is my strength. I say love the truth as it is given unto thee day by day. I say love the truth, cleave unto thee truth, rejoice in the truth, for I do give it unto thee that ye would be kept. I say that I desire that you would cherish the truth that I have provided for it is my life provided unto thee. I say if you will be cleaving unto that truth, cherishing and loving the same, I say that the truth does set thee free. But I say that if you allow yourself to be enticed by seducing spirits you will end in a heap of deep despair. I say there is no reason to go that way when you could walk in the way that I provide. I say that I provide the truth unto thee to keep thee, to direct thee, to instruct thee, all of thy days.

Personification of the Divine: Jesus Christ the Son of God

Among the important Hindu Puranas, one “BHAVISHAYA PURANA”, written in Sanskrit around the 700 BC describes quite lucidly about this holy incarnation in Pratisarg chapter of the Bharath Khand as follows:

Yeesh moorti prapta nitya shuddha shivakari; Yeesha Mashi itticha mam nama prathishtatham

Vese 31 means: “The revelation of God who is eternal, holy, compassionate and giver of salvation; who dwells in our heart is manifested. His name is “Yeesha Masih” (Jesus Christ).

The Puranas while speaking of this Savior and God incarnate, refer Him as Purusha Shubham (sinless or blameless and holy person), Balwaan Raja Gaurang Shweta Vastrakam (the sovereign king in a holy person robed in white); Yeesh Putra (Son of God): Kumari Garbha Sambhavam (the One who is born of a virgin) and Satya Varatha Paraayanam (the One who is the sustainer of the path of truth).

The holy scriptures of India are not the only ones that speak authentically about the divine incarnation of Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of mankind; but the oldest of Jewish holy writings and books of the Old Testament, witnessed to this fact four hundred years before His birth “in whom was no sin” (Isa.53: 9). “A virgin will give birth and His name shall be called Immanuel, that is God with us” (Isa.7:14). Even Islam, in its chief religious scripture, the Holy Koran, in Surah Miriam, refers to the Lord Jesus Christ as “Rooh Allah” meaning “the Spirit of God” and “Miriam” as the most holy among all women.

Has the only and eternal God Almighty, ever been incarnated? If so, what are the promises and signs that point to it. The scriptures and holy writings give us the following indications and clues that God ought to be the:

Sanathana Shabdha Brahmha (the Everlasting One and the Word who is God), Srishtikartha (Creator), Sarvagyaa (The Omniscient one), Nishpaap dehi (The sinless One); Sachidananda (Truth, conscious and Joy),Tri Ekya Pita (The triune God), Mahan Karma Yogi (The greatest accomplisher of the will of God), Siddha Brahmachari (The complete celibate by vow), Aloukik sanyasin (The supernatural recluse), Jagath Paapvahi (The bearer of the sin of the world), Yagna Pusha (the Sacrifice of the Altar), Aadveta (the only One), Anupam Premi (The matchless Lover).

The Word of God, the Bible has in its new testament all these attributes and many more aspects of the uniqueness of the God incarnate as amply evident in the life and holy person of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Salvation: Only in Jesus Christ

Pandit Dharam Prakash Sharma YouTube Part 7 of 11



The Holy word of God through Lord Jesus Christ talks about bequeathed salvation in this way: “God who at sundry times and in diverse manners spoke to the fathers and the prophets, has in these last days, spoken to us by His Son whom He (God) appointed heir of all things through whom also He made the world” (Heb.1: 1-2). He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature “I am the way the truth and the life; no man comes to the Father (God) but by Me” (John 14:6) I and my Father are one (John 10:30). There is now no more condemnation (the death that results from sin) to them who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit” (Rom.8: 1). “But the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through our Lord” (Rom.6: 23).

A word of testimony from Pandit Dharm Prakash Sharma

Dear friend, are you a traveler of the path of salvation? Has your soul longed after and thirsted for the Living God? Only in the Lord Jesus Christ, you have redemption from the bondage of your sins and can receive peace that passes all understanding. The incarnate God is calling you this very moment. “Turn to Me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth, for I am God and there is no other” (Isa.45:22). “That whosoever believes in Him (Jesus) should not perish but have everlasting life” - MAHAMANTRA (Jn.3: 16). Salvation is not available anywhere else except in the Lord Jesus Christ. It is our deepest prayer that God Almighty may strengthen and establish you in this truth.

Lord Jesus Christ and the so-called Christianity as a religion were mere fake and foreign denominational cults for me – same as to a majority of common Indians. Still there was a little open mind in me for the Lord Jesus due to His famous “Sermon on the Mount” which inspired Mahatma Gandhi and his national movement on the solid foundation of truth, non-violence, love and forgiveness even to the enemies. The word of God says “—love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you and pray for them that despitefully use you and persecute you” Mt 5:44. Mahatma Gandhiji’s famous saying is also taken from the word of God“---whosoever shall slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also” Bible - Mt 5:39.

One evening in 1954 as a teenager student, when I was in my hostel room, studying a book of English (which was my subject), I came across a lesson heading “Sermon on the Mount”. I read out the whole text in one breath! Oh! It was the same that inspired the life and work of Gandhiji during freedom movement of India. It was a memorable moment for me, while reading this great sermon, I heard repeatedly a divine voice from all around me saying, “I am the same whom you are seeking from your very childhood...”

The desire of the Vedic Rishis from ages was a quest to seek the ultimate realization of the true God and His grace. The same thirst of my heart was fired through the power of this great good news of salvation from God and brought me to the feet of the only eternal God, who became flesh for us all.

Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved (Acts 2:21).

This article is just superb and excellent. It is a GREAT revelation and must be propogated in the whole of India. I have a Friend named Arvindaksha Menon who wrote a similar book named " Divine Harmony" In it he showed many passages in the Rig Veda that were prophecies about the Lord Jesus Christ. This is another similar article.
Please put me on your mailing list as I evangelize everyday to the Non Christians.
Thanks God Bless. Capt.Richard.F.Sequeira
