The Third Jesus: The Christ We Cannot Ignore

Deepak Chopra Found the TRUE Jesus

After reading The Third Jesus I was struck by how much Dr. Chopra's words resonated with me. I've believed, as he does, that we have lost touch with the most basic teachings of Christ which simply ask us to love one another. However, because of religious dogma, we have instead created an us and them society where those who follow a prescribed method of worship tend to cast out anyone who doesn't follow their version of Christianity instead of following Christ's teachings which asked us to Judge not lest we be judged, and to do unto others as we would have others do unto us. Christ wasn't a Christian, he was Jewish. What we have turned him into is an unloving representative of our own personal biasis. Dr. Chopra clearly explains this with beautfy and clarity.

Misinterpreted scriptures

I have never been a big Choppra fan. Instead of religion he pushes a new age type of theology--so calledUniversalism which states that everyone will eventually see God on their own path. Problem us that this is completely unscriptural based off the same Bible he skims in order to present a brand new Jesus to the world. He misrepresents Bible verses, quotes them out of context and presents neither the historical or theological Jesus that scholars or devoted Christians recognize. Instead he makes Christ into a sort of Buddhist/Hindu hybrid who is at one with the universe but not the Son of God in the Johnanian sense. He throws out scriptures he doesn't understand or likes and instead creates a humanist theology. In short this book shows his disdain of organized religion and his ignorance of Christian theology and history. Utter waste of time. No value at all to the person seeking the true Christ.

Jesus in the House

Jesus in the House is a very awe inspiring book written by Allan Wright. It is able to capture the true essence of Jesus and how all of his messages and teachings have correlated with the home. It brings into question, "Was Jesus born in a stable? Or was it really in a home itself?" It shows how most of Jesus' meals and miracles have used the home as major focal points in lessons learned. These book aides the reader in capturing a more full understanding of what Jesus' miracles meant not only to the crowds that gathered, but also those whom he healed and that persons family and friends. It is a great read for unveiling how each and every thing Jesus did brought joy to some home.
If I were to recommend a book to a reader looking to capture who Jesus really was as a person and how he affected those around him, this would be the book. It not only enlightened the reader on the history of Jesus, but also was able to I've new and deeper meanings to what the reader felt is already known. This book was extremely insightful and a great read whether you are religious or not.
