Deepak Chopra is an Indian doctor from New Delhi who wrote the New Age book, "The Third Jesus, The Christ We Cannot Ignore."
Chopra is a former leader of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's Transcendental Meditation and Ayurvedic medicine programs. What Chopra is teaching is nothing less than pagan Eastern Mysticism which says that we are all “God.”
In his own words:
"The Christian seeker who wants to reach God is no different from the Buddhist," he claims.
But Jesus said:Jesus, on the other hand, said, "No one comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6) Who are you going to believe?
In his book, Chopra teaches that Jesus is a state of mind, a "cosmic Christ" and not the Son of the living God.
In his own words:“I want to offer the possibility that Jesus was truly, as he proclaimed, a savior,” Chopra wrote, “not the savior, not the one and only Son of God. Rather Jesus embodied the highest level of enlightenment."
Really?
What does this "highest enlightened one" have to say?
"He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God."
John 3:18, in Jesus's conversation with Nicodemus
* Note: According to Jesus, then, Chopra is condemned.
If you follow Chopra, you will be likewise.
Even Satan knew Jesus to be the Son of God:
"Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, "If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.''
Matthew 4:3
Jesus's reply cut to the quick:
"But He answered and said, 'It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.' ''
Matthew 4:4
Spirit of Antichrist
Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either...
John 2:22-23
The Bottom Line
Chopra gives hope to the dying that they will not die, and hope to the living that they can live forever in health. But it's a false hope steeped in mysticism and gibberish. Even though his patients died while he was claiming he had given them health, he maintained his position.
He charges $25,000 per lecture performance, where he spouts out a few platitudes and give spiritual advice while warning against the ill effects of materialism. Yet he lives in a $2.5 million house in La Jolla, California, where he parks his green Jaguar.
