"What is Truth?": Deepak Chopra Denies the Deity of Christ

The new age guru pushes the relativism of alternative belief systems and claims that they are interchangeable with Christianity, saying only through "stillness" and "awareness" can we truly know God. Greg Koukl uses logic and reason to dispute Chopra's assertion that exclusivity is not a characteristic of truth.

33Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

34Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?

35Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?

36Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

37Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

38Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.

(John 18)

The headline of this video is misleading. Deepak doesn't deny that Christ was a deity, he simply states that there are other belief systems that need to be examined also.

Religious zealots think that their belief system is the only correct one, which leads to wars, hatred, and an "us vs. them" mentality.

If every single person was a Christian, they would still turn on each other because the ego seeks to seperate and divide.

@billsf94131 - by inferring we can't know the "truth" behind Christ's claims of deity, deepak IS implicitly denying that He is God. and by extension, you yourself are making the same inference.

and yet you say we claim our way is "the only correct one" -- so are you saying any belief system that doesn't match up with yours is not? aren't you "separating and dividing" your beliefs from mine?

next time, use logic and take the log out of your own eye before you point out the speck in ours.

wow. great example of avoidance of truth

@darisdawn That kind of assertion is just historically naive. If you knew anything about ancient Jewish culture, you would know that they repudiated these pagan myths, and the idea that they would have borrowed from them to construct this story of Jesus, the proclamation of which put their lives at risk, is absolutely unfounded. You should really read a scholar on these issues before consulting infidel sites.

This man arguing for the apostle's "truth" must have no knowledge of Mithros and Osirus. Paul's version of Christianity were based upon borrowing from those hisorically known religions.

American Christians are insane...

The Christian guy is your average Christian these days. Ignorant, angry and thinks they are the only wants who hold the truth.

Chopra is an atheist but doesn't know it.
