BULLSEYE!
ACCURATE BIBLE KNOWLEDGE!
Now, all the
Indian gurus are, and were, vegetarians however Jesus was not. We are
told in
the scriptures that he fed multitudes with fish, told Peter to catch
fish, and
of course he ate fish himself.
In Hinduism,
everyone has to have a guru and this includes the gurus themselves. All
gurus
can name their own guru that have guided them to their own “guru-ness”.
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Paramahansa Yogananda, Swami Muktananda have
someone who
is their source of authority.
Is this then
another mark against Jesus being the future Saviour of the world? Jesus
has
failed again. Gurus 2 - Jesus 0.
Now, according
to Indian guru tradition, the sacred drink for any future
Saviour of the
world to have, is the water that washes the feet of a guru.
Maybe Jesus
didn’t
come to show us the truth – maybe he just was the truth…and the way…and
the
life (John 14:6) but the gurus didn’t know it?
Anyhow,
according to guru school, the score is Gurus 3 – Jesus 0.
Not only was
Jesus
known as the carpenter’s son, but also as the carpenter. Now
Joseph (‘as
was supposed’ his father Luke
Was it
returning in triumph from foreign climes with his PhD (Guruness)? No,
far from
it. The Bible says that his fame began after his baptism and return
from a
forty-day wilderness fast – not a return from India. One would imagine
that
stepping off the plane, like the Beatles returning from India, would
send the
crowd into a frenzy? Jesus would be famous just on that account. No
Sir-eee
Bob! Score? Gurus 5 – Jesus 0.
Now, all gurus
boast of their training. When did Jesus ever boast about his years of
Himalayan
cave dwelling, ascetic practices, yoga and austerity? All gurus boast
of what
they have been through to attain self-realization and godhood. Why
would Jesus
not be the same?
Well,
why should he? A man who was God already
wouldn’t have to, would he? Jesus was always God and became manifest in
the
flesh. No stringent life style needed. No years of self-flagellation or
fasting
required here. If he did go to India to become a guru, he’s breaking
all the
rules. Score? Gurus 6 – Jesus 0.
Now why would
one guru (supposedly Jesus), out of all the thousands of gurus, step
forward
from the pack and claim to be the “only begotten Son of God”? This
claim is
absolutely unique. Declaring that we are all sons of god, New Agers
regard
Jesus as just another son of a god but not the only begotten Son of
God. Well
someone must be lying. Surely Indian guru training wouldn’t teach their
pupils
to lie would they? If Jesus is lying, this is another blow to his
future claim
as the way, the truth and the life. Score? Gurus 7 – Jesus 0.
If eating your
gurus leftovers enhances your spirituality, why wouldn’t Jesus have his
meal
first in the Upper Room and then distribute the remains to the
disciples.
Furthermore,
why not gobble up most of the boy’s loaves and fishes first and then
have the
disciples distribute a fishtail and a few crumbs to the multitudes?
This is not
good guru practice. Jesus fails again. Score? Gurus 8 – Jesus 0.
Question:
“Why would a twelve year old who could astound the learned synagogue
doctors
and temple lawyers of his day, want to go to Rabbi school anyway?
Answer:
“He wouldn’t! He wrote the Book!” Did he need to learn how to dress the
right
way? Walk properly like a Rabbi? Pass his Rabbi exams? Learn how to be
spiritual? Please, give me a break! Please – he was God!
What would
Jesus
be doing hanging around with them? They were Old Testament law
breakers. They
were thrown out of Israel according to the Torah (the first five books
of the
Old Testament). Jesus associating with them would have meant that he
wasn’t
fulfilling the law but breaking it.
Q: What do
Hinduism and Judaism have in common?
A: Nothing. No
sin, no Sabbath, no meat eating, no animal sacrifices for sin, no
temple – need
we go on?
Hinduism is
well known for engulfing all other religions, however it stumbles badly
with
the Jewish Jesus. But can we be rest assured that the coming
anti-christ very
well might have the appropriate, and endorsed, credentials from India?
