The most prominent teacher of mysticism and New Age philosophy in the West Deepak Chopra goes toe to toe in a debate with Christian apologist Greg Koukl on Lee Strobel's show "Faith under Fire". This episode called "The Future of Faith" aired in 2005.
To view the entire Faith Under Fire series, you can purchase 10 episodes of this program through Zondervan via the following link: www.zondervan.com/97803106878...
Chopra, who has written two books on the topic of Jesus, seems to be at loss for words as the well-researched Koukl keeps correcting him on his false view of Jesus, his false doctrine, and the historicity of the Gospels. Chopra's Eastern/secular interpretation of Jesus does not seem to hold water when confronted with someone who teaches apologetics and defends the faith for a living.
These two segments were the only ones I could find that were decent quality. Full debate can be found here (poor quality): • Video

"My faith does not come from a book." - Chopra
Then he sells you his books in the hopes you have faith in it. 🤔
because reading a book is equivalent to having blind faith. and selling a book is equivalent to an act of faith.
He never said he was against books, lol. What he means is that you should be able to question books, and learn from them, rather than have Blind Faith in it. I have read some of deepaks' books and I think they are inspiring but don' t have blind faith in them as if they were gospel. There is a difference.
@@joaquindelarosa1215 yeah, you got it right.
In the Eastern Traditions, especially in Sanatan Dharma or The Eternal Way (popularly known as Hinduism) there is no concept of believing but rather of seeking. There is complete freedom of questioning the saints or the books (there isn't one book either). This allows one to explore their inner divinity and find the answers on one's own. But at the same time there is reverence for the saints and books for they act as guiding lights to reach the ultimate truth or the highest self.
Also, unlike Christianity which believes in everyone being an original sinner (sin arising from the deed on another person; Adam and Eve's), the Sanatan Dharma believes in everyone being originally divine and the quest is to rediscover this divinity dormant within. (Also, it believes in the concept of Karma; the one creating the casues is responsible for it's effects and not of other person's causes)
The tradition itself is so liberating and so conducive to the ever questioning human nature that one feels boundless in the quest of the ultimate truth or the highest self.
Ruther TV - RUTHER URQUIA Yep. Typical new age. They don’t care about the truth. They want their own truth that makes them feel good and it’s based on whatever they want. If we all have our own truth, then we have no truth, and no hope.
@The Revelation But Deism is a religious belief. Why do you object to the idea of revealed truth?
Jesus rules! love from India

I came here because of Greg Koukl’s book: Tactics.
Eagle Agent me too. Im impressed.
yep brilliant book, actually the best book on the subject of giving an answer for the hope that we have in us. It is the most practical, I see it like a training manual for having civil and meaningful conversations with people with opposing views. I even see value with talking to my wife about non spiritual things too! it made me see how arguments are structured. and how to react to certain structures of arguments and how NOT to react. like ad honinem attacks, no need to give an answer for that, it break under its own weight. etc.
Defo get the 10th aniversary version which is alot longer with more examples..wow.
Praise the Lord!
Me too, what an incredible writer and orator. The Lord has blessed this man mightily!
I was reading mid-way through the 10th anniversary edition. I wanted to see him in action. I was not let down!
@@matthewdominguez1183 I'm curious, in what ways did you feel let down?
Jesus is alive!!!!! And I am free now , no more Deepak Chopra full of wrong ideas polluting my mind, I have Jesus in my life now !!!!! I will pray for you, Deepak, God loves you too.
Amen! Welcome sister!!
@Esther Years ago, I listened to Deepak and loved him. After reading the Bible, I now know the truth! Jesus is the only way, the only truth and He is the light of my life. I am free too. God bless you. I will pray for Deepak and Oprah
Your christan god loves you! Unless you dont believe the fictitious doctrine, then he condemns you to eternal torment, because he loves you!
jesus is not the truth
Matthew 24s last day birth pangs are coming into fruition slowly alongside 2 Peter 3:10 describing climate change/global warming in the last days. The moon is slowly rusting/turning red which should be impossible with the lack of oxygen and water there, which have scientists stumped and trying to figure out theory’s.
Have you ever delved into fine tune physics? Science doesn’t have the answer for everything nor do we. God can literally not be disproven by science and alongside history, time stamps, and archeological excavations there’s enough proof out there for one to believe. Heck even Matthew Maury discovered ocean pathways through the bible. What other Religion has announced things before science even figured it out like the hydrologic system, the earth hanging on nothing, and the life of the flesh being in the blood.
As an ex witch/new ager who found Jesus a few months ago I hope someone else can get pulled out of darkness like me....If not all the best and take care whoever might read this. There’s a higher power out there stronger than any divination or witchcraft out there 💯 🕊
I was a hindu and Christ came and changed my life. Everything else besides Christ is JUST A WASTE OF TIME.
Not one of the 330 million hindu gods would have ever hang on the cross to take my sins.
JESUS is LORD.
Rhine Singh amen!
Rhine Singh as per bible Jesus died for your sins but being such a god he couldn’t forgive the mankind for what Adam and Eve did as primitive people. Is there anything laughable than this.!!!!!
You, silly thing, who did create your Father God and if he was so great why did He have to make the Devil knowing he would bring evil. If the Father God was so omnipotent, why did He leave the evil thrive, unless it was for good, and His aim, not the Devil's or someone's fault.I cried on every 3d page of Chopra's 2008 Jesus Story of Enlightenment where Jesus says to Satan He (God whoever He is, Father and/or Sin and/or Enlightened Mind part of One Higher Vibration Consciousness) has noy not kill him (Satan) as He is waiting for Satan to start loving Him and that that day would come inevitably. If you had a FLEXIBLE mind / thinking, would would coprehend that the evil shows up the good. No good to appreciate without evil and if you had a slight idea of physics / mechanics you would know that it is a fundamental law that THRUTH HAS MORE THAN TWO SIDES TO IT, and per QUANTUM PHYSICS NOTHING FAILS, that is anything is possible. Chopra is not denying that silly thing Koukl's point of view, which he and those same as him create a reality to go on after DEATH, though the ABSTRACT FATHER GOD has not told us what is to go on after the 1000 years Kingdom / or how to handle an eternal heaven where someone could go nuts from doing the same thing all eternity, while Chopra is showing you the option of ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES AND RENEWAL. Regarding the Bible noone can convince me those who wrote it had the full kbowledge, the direct words of Jesus are few, most are someon else s view, and noone can convince me the present day Bible includes all the true Jesus had in mind and that it has not been modified by authorities. I am from Thrace (Macedonia) in BUL-Garia on the BAL-Kans where Christianity first spread in Europe from and my ancestors has an own perception of God previous to the Hellenized Romanized decided to make use of Christianity as means of the authorities to subdue the masses in the Roman Empire/ the Byzantium. All accross BUL-Garia and the BAL-Kans there are hundreds of ruins of Ancient churches which the Hellenized Romanized said were ruined by the vulgar barbarian Sclavo-Vulgarians (BUL-Garians) presented as invaders from the North and North East when it turns out Sclavo BUL-Garians are local BAL-Kan people who have lived here since at least 8000 years and did not invade the Roman Empire but took control of their own homeland. The Hellenized Romanized Orthodox version of Christianity was imposed in BUL-Garia for POLITICAL reasons in the 9th cent and the Bogomils who were not ok with that had to escape to the West - Italy, France (Pirineus) where they gave rise to various spiritual movements which led to the protestantism and revision of the old conceptions. The Bible was put tiogether at church councils by sinful men like you and me who in the end were no better in flexibility of mind, forgiveness, compassion, creativity for good and reciprocity,,that is LOVE, than you and me. Those pretending Jesus healed their souls SHOULD ask themselves what is the use of this healing and if they are ready to SACRIFICE THEIR LIVES AND WELL BEING JUST AS JESUS DID!!! Is tgat silly thing Koukl ready to go on a cross and suffer THE PASSIONS OF THE CHRIST. And who said His name was Jesus or Isa - it was Yeshua - a simplest example how that Bible is RELATIVE, THAT IS ONLY ONE POINT OF VIEW TO THE TRUTH. Nothing Fails!!! Think a 1000 times!!!
Rhine Singh
Amen, so glad you have found the Lord Jesus
Rhine Singh Praise be to God
Chopra's most honest comment "the difference between you and me is that you are certain and I am not." 9:46
And he's ok with being uncertain. Why do people have such a problem with that?
what does uncertain mean when you base your whole belief system on something. Would you want to walk around being uncertain maybe even wrong? No. But like I said...maybe uncertain is a good thing in the mystic world....idk
Correct. You have no doubt at the vast truth there is far our past the box of Christianity. It doesn't mean that Christianity is wrong or untrue, it just means there is more. More that our minds cannot even possibly grasp, which is why most are content with their faith and the bible - and that's perfectly ok. But there are some who realize there is more and are ok with the mystery of more. One who has been filled with the spirit, and given the gift of knowledge - has a change heart and has then eyes to see and ears to hear.. and there is more. MUCH MUCH MORE.
+Jamie T no problem at all with being uncertain. But to be uncertain of where you are going and leading 'millions ' as if you are the guru to follow, thats pretty self serving.
+Jamie T yea there is alot more outside the box of Christianity. .and it's called Satanism 😂
I'm not so uncertain ...been there done that..came back to my so called "box"
Chopra is certain that he is not certain. Did any one pick up on that???
Jay Cee exactly. If he is not certain about anything he shouldnt be speaking anything.
Chopra is atleast very certain that both the speakers have different views about certainity.
Mr chopra is certain of 1 thing though .. the millions of $$$$ he made writing his books selling his concept of “uncertainty “ to gullible new agers ..!
What he means is uncertainty when it comes to religion. Because those religions cannot be proven. Even Christianity. He is not arguing that he never feels certainty about certain things. It is in reference to religions.
@@tactapologetics A human born without a doubt, meaning either knowing everything or claiming to know everything, is not just stupid enough to shut his brains which God gave to be used but also can reach no closer to realising the ultimate truth.
Philosophies of the East (including Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism) are for Seekers whereas that of the West (mostly Abrahamic religions) are of Believers.
Isn't it an insult to the human brain to just be born to follow certain commandments by some unknown and not explore your own way to reach that ultimate truth/being?!
Anyone else think Chopra looks demonic?
Yes, I was watching on Larry king with john MacArthur. His whole demeanor is attack .
Yep ! Thats exactly what I thought ..
I came to comments to see if anyone else felt this. He reminds me of a 🐍 that’s trying to hypnotize his victim before striking. He’s extremely uncomfortable to look at.
I couldn't even bear to look at him..those eyes 🐍 also when he said about his book sales "millions, yeah" 😤
You guys are concern about a guy's look vs the crazy shit that's said in the old testament? Wow
Chopra: I'm trying to tell you that I'm not sure what I'm talking about, now let me talk about that. Believe me when I say I am uncertain what I am talking about.
His uncertainty is in reference to religions which cannot be proven. He is not saying he does not have convictions.
You very well miss the point cause you wish to remain blindfolded and deaf.
A human born without a doubt, meaning either knowing everything or claiming to know everything, is not just stupid enough to shut his brains which God gave to be used but also can reach no closer to realising the ultimate truth.

@@kritikaushik5499 u want to be your own God, good luck with that.. God is real and yes he gave us his Word and he came to earth to save us, cause of love. if you do not accept his gift, you deny God, that simple
Looks convincing lol
50 or 100 years from now Deepak Chopra will be a footnote on a wiki page and millions will still be worshiping Jesus Christ as THE Truth, THE way and THE life.
And that is assuming Wiki anything is still around
Rangers: how true.
Wow, that was deep. God bless you
The Christian guy argues without emotion and with facts and Deepak Chopra is just emotional.
I'm on the Christian side but Deepak was calmer tbh

WHAT ?
How can anyone be comfortable with uncertainty? I have to be certain..and I am, in my precious saviour Jesus Christ...
The Christian guy was amazing in his argumentation, all Christians should be able to defend like that and do their homework.

Chopra who says he is uncertain seems to be certain that Koukl is wrong.
Repent Chopra, repent before its too late!
I see a man getting uncomfortable, angry and interruptive because actual truth is making him feel threatened. Mr Chopra would be loosing a lot of financial investment if he admitted his failings.
You've got the blinders on, for sure. It was the Christian who was getting uncomfortable and angry. Chopra looked pretty chill until the Christian described him as"disingenuous," which was a polite way of calling Chopra a liar. But Chopra saw through that hence the subsequent anger. As for the Christian claiming he has good reasons for believing in Christ as if that separates him from other faiths is a laugh, because that is exactly what other faiths claim. And then the Christian adds there's consequences for making wrong choices and that makes sense in our ethical behavior as it pertains to man's laws, but we're talking about an accurate ontology which is entirely an unrelated topic. For all intents and purposes, he's made salvation into an episode of Let's Make a Deal, where the contestant has to guess if it's door number one, two, or three. There's no way that anyone can possibly know 100 percent if Christ is who he says he is. Even John the Baptist wasn't sure when his head was on a chopping block. But here's the real question, why should my eternal destiny be dependent on my limited ability to know ultimate truth? Either parts of the Bible were poorly written or people have interpreted it wrongly or God is an unreasonable, blood thirsty madman. I find it unacceptable to believe God is an illogical, blood thirsty madman. And if the Bible truly portrays him as such, then I am compelled to disbelieve that portion of the Bible. It was, after all, written by men who are fallible, even if inspired by God. Quit making a book into God. That's idolatry. God is much bigger than any book.
@@geralddecaire6164 The commentors here believe what they want to. Period. They don't even try to understand what Deepak Chopra is saying. (whatever he says is wrong, because it does not gel with Christian ideas of truth)
@@sudhak5057 Truth is, Jesus would probably more agree with Chopra than a religious zealot who can be even less like Jesus than those who are purportedly secular.
@@geralddecaire6164 I too agree with that. Christianity of no denomination today has understood Jesus as a human.
Personally, I love Jesus, but Jesus is not "the only one"
I love Zarathustra, Buddha, Nanak, Rama, Krishna.
I belong to the same religion as Deepak Chopra.
@@sudhak5057 I guess I'm some where in between. I believe Christ to be far more significant than those other names you mentioned. Those other names never mentioned anything resembling the statement, when you see me you see the Father. Even Christ admitted to not being equal to the Father, but having the fullness of the Holy Spirit meant that as far as a human can, he mirrored the character of God. In so much as it was possible, Christ reflected the nature of God more than any other human and in my opinion, merited the title, Son of God, with a capital S. And I also believe he truly was the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father except by me. He was essentially the incarnation of that ubiquitous God mind localized and in the flesh. To me, God is the Logos and is the necessary being and agency responsible for all of the intelligible patterns and non mediated information in the universe and is thus the creator of all things. God is mind at large and we're all a part of it. Now note that just because Jesus said he is the way and the life is not the same as saying that if you don't find that path in this life that you're going to have the flesh stripped from your bones while burning in a hot furnace for eternity. That's a bunch of crap invented by the church for political control and I have a few verses that make pretty clear that God gives us many chances to mature as agents. I believe we have always been eternal and we're here to learn about love in this school of hard knocks called earth. If you don't learn, you suffer a little more pain and remorse until you learn compassion and empathy. God isn't just loving, God is love. And everyone will be given a fair chance to evolve or end up hanging out with like minds. That being said, I also subscribe to the possibility I'm utterly full of shit so that at least takes me out of the dogmatic camp.
Yeah he loses, but I think the Christian response is prayer for him and kindness... we serve a compassionate God, Christ Jesus
lambchopxoxo 👏🏾👏🏾 kudos to you for being the only one who even is so called “victory” still shows compassion.... everyone else is using this vid to raise their noses at him and others who may not believe the same... this is where most people who claim they follow christ get it wrong... such boastful behavior is far from christ like
Absolutely, we must pray for those who are lost. If that seems pompous I apologise. I really don't feel that way.
People can "love" others straight to hell. The most loving thing people can do sometimes is tell people the truth so they will know to turn around and repent. I have had to myself as I am far from perfect, so it's not about judging anyone.
Yes, let’s pray for him, especially since he is misleading many
@@RRfan1 What exactly is this truth? Human life on earth is almost 50000 years old, and your God of the Bible woke up just 2000 years ago to dispense this truth in an obscure hamlet?
Just feeling humbled and reminded by God to pray for Chopra....
😊
Amen! He appeared tortured and wounded! May The Grace of God through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ open his eyes, soften his heart and bring him to repentance and salvation! In the matchless name of Jesus, Amen!
deepak looks like he's evil spirit in him. his face is scary and dark unlike the other 2 guys
Money grab
Y'all act like you never seen a brown person before...
Why are so many fundies racists? Do you think Jesus was white?
I think it’s a prominent brow bone that casts a shadow over his eyes... but his expression does look super creepy. Black suit, black hair, mega bags under his eyes, pointy nose, cleft chin - he looks like a Disney villain. All of that isn’t his fault really, just that it all looks really creepy when put together 😄
That unblinking stare is not helping either 😭
I was lost in the new age world for most of my life, Deepak, Wayne Dyer, Louise Hay, Abraham Hicks etc etc Finally had my eyes opened to the satanic oppression that is sold as love and light when it's actually the opposite. Praying for Deepak and hope Jesus can reach into his heart and save him that Deepak won't be too proud to hear the real Jesus.
jesus christ is false ok
he is not the truth
Hallelujah Sara!!!! The devil is pulling his grand tricks in these last days.
Omg me too! Exact same journey! Cannot believe i was caught up in that bs
Its generally because more likely than not new qge is pacifisn and defeatism and liberalism sold in a spiritual pqckage. Christia ity is staunchly conservative and even nationalist while for example new age is deeply globalist and fundumentally a feel good be open no bou daries or even morakity type of idea, it is literally kiberakism repackaged.
God will torment us for eternity for not guessing the right religion, despite the fact he doesn't give us any evidence at all he exists?
Pray for the salvation of Deepak, that God leads him to the love of the Truth and salvation in Jesus Christ!
If he is a Hindu from India he worship 33000 gods.
@@artictern1437 hindus do not worship 33000 gods 😂. They believe in gods, yes, but dosnt necessarily worship them all
I would have simply asked, "Are you certain that you're uncertain?"
Yeah it's like those that say there are no absolute truths, ask them if they are absolutely sure of that!
I can see the deep darkness in Chopra
Chopra's new book title. "I'm certain I'm uncertain" lol!
-RCWASP- Lol!
500k copies 🤣
Chopra summed himself up early and quickly------his source was Newsweek!!!!! Laughable!
oksills 😂😂
That stunned me lol.
I thought that was hilarious
If you are comfortable with your uncertainty, then you are not a true seeker of the truth. If you thirst and hunger for God you will find Him. That is His promise.
THIS right here is why I searched the scriptures and did research to understand the faith I was born into. Once I studied the word and sought God, Jesus showed himself to me. I was never comfortable with uncertainty unless it is the kind that comes from living by faith and not by sight.
I think it would be good to pray for Him. I was decieved was upon a time until true loving believers in Christ pray for me and showed me God's love. And I have seen demons.
Chopra preaching uncertainty with certainty. Glad I found my way back to Jesus, the only way.
If chopra’s statement of his uncertainty is true than he just insulted the intelligence of every mark who has ever wasted money on his books.
I guess that's the sign of a good grifter!
Wow, Greg Koukl is on point! Perfectly-worded responses and great patience shown even when he was continually interrupted by Chopra. It's amazing to me how the people that say they're "unsure" of the truth really seem to be saying, "I'm not sure about anything, except that the Bible isn't true".
👍👍👍
And then that to be unsure is a religion in itself. Like I'm glad to embrace my uncertainty about life in the bounds of my certainty in Christ... But to embrace uncertainty all on its own is a slightly (no disrespect to Deepak) air headed approach.
Are you sure that you will either go to heaven or hell at the end...? Any reason behind that cocksure attitude?
Greg was be incredibly dishonest. He use questions to dodge the real problems with the idea of sending somewhere one to burn and torture forever. Greg was completely dishonest and he was dodging the real questions. I don't like either guys. But Christians who believe in eternal torture, forever and ever is incredibly evil and sinister in itself. And you guys completely dodged this issue because you know how immoral and disgustingly evil it is. Hell, of course, is the mother of all of my problems with the bible. It is perhaps the most despicable and hideous of all of the Christian God’s crimes. Indeed, the cruelest of all concentration camps. (Certainly millions of times worse than the ones created by the Nazis.) Any Christians are so afraid to address this so you dodge the issue. That's called dishonesty and Greg proved that....
Who are you to define what is good or not? Every action has a consequence. As Christians we believe in an absolute moral Being (God) who will judge righteously.
Now that's not saying He wants them to "be tortured eternally" but rather "desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Tim 2:4-5)
Man, for an educated person, Chopra's arguments were like the most basic kind of arguments youd hear from random people who dont really know anything about the subject that youd meet on the street. "How can you know! Nothing is certain! There are Muslims that believe strongly in their beliefs, too!", would imagine he would have come up with better arguments then that : p
Moogi Beans maybe the Holy Spirit allowed him to be less sharp or God shut his mouth from what he would have articulated well. Jesus won the arguement and shined in this!
One thing is believe and other side is the absolutely true. That's the point of chopra.
Lol, I loved the irony of Chopra arguing throughout that the truth cannot be fully known yet near the end Chopra makes the truth claim, "That is simply not true!"
Jesus Christ is Our God Amen
I've never heard an experience of somebody returning from death (heaven or hell)and saying anything other than Jesus is real and the bible is the truth. mk
RUclips jewish secular boy. There are many accounts of nonbelievers
I understand unbelievers return after NDE but most all end up Pastors and servants of YHWH because they come to know absolutely that the Bible is truth and our Creator is real. This is my point
He is the epitome of Love and yeshua is the Light of the world but his holy spirit only dwells in those who surrender to him and ask for his spirit. He doesn't live in every person.
Mike Clenaghen never heard of it in my region, only in RUclips videos
Mike Clenaghen that's not biblical. the holy spirit was for everyone, christian or not.
Chopra said he was brought up with his ideas ,well I was brought up as a Roman Catholic but I started looking into it and realised the RC was false ,lies ,and man made . Muslims are brought up to believe Islam is right believing in Jesus is not a religion ,it's a relationship where God reveals himself to people
michelle staunton no offense, but that phrase is kind of dumb. "It's not religion, it's a relationship with God". That makes no sense to unbelievers, it's just a pithy saying that doesn't really mean much. But hey, props for figuring out stuff about the RC church. I just wish I could introduce you to some of the other guys I see down here...
Simple example that Christianity is the truth :> Imagine a person whom you love the most in your life being murdered by a man. Police arrests him and takes him to the court. The accused man says to the Judge that he is a good man, that he has done many many good things that this crime is nothing when compared to his good works. The Judge investigates his life and his records and comes to the conclusion that " yes, he is a good man, his good works overcomes this crime". The Judge makes him free.
Now, you decide whether this Judge is a good Judge or bad Judge.
Certainly, he is a bad one.
Likewise God is a judge who judges with justice. Our sins must be punished whatever the sin is. The sin which are small in our eyes are big in the eyes of God. The punishment of sin is death. Physical death and Spiritual Death.
So God loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten Son as a punishment for our sins so that we get saved.
So God came into the world as man and lived a sinless life so that he would be a perfect sacrifice for us. This is the great love of God.
Amazing Grace.
mathew george I hope you don't mind, but I would like to recommend a few things you may want to change with that.
1. Don't say God will punish us. It may be true, but often it is valuable to make sure it doesn't make Him sound "mean". The way I think of it, sin is a disease and Jesus is the cure.
2. If you intend to use this as a sort of proof of God, I should tell you it is not very compelling to atheists.
I hope that's not offensive... just wanted to help. Good news is, you know more about God than the average Christian. (Or maybe that's bad news...) regardless, God keep you.
InB4 atheists try to roast
Noah Claydon thanks. Atheists won't understand. I have written for other religion's people, they say about karma, good works, 51% good life is enough....... those kind of people
Ok thanks
michelle staunton the best explanation of the Christian religion!
Wow! Not only does chopra spew evil, he even looks demonic!
that is an ad hominem attack. Why not attack his arguments instead? It's not hard to do
@@joethomas1146 indeed, attacks based on looks of the believer does not forward or regress an argument, indeed use other methods to move conversation forward. BUT I would say that ad hominem attacks are quite effective once the point has been drilled down enough....
@@kaizze8777 sadly, ad hominem attacks are quite effective, because the average person makes decisions based on emotional reasons to confirm what they already believe. Unbelievers do this all the time. We shouldn't.
This was really awesome. I'm glad you shared it! I'm hoping to locate the entire interview....
Glory to Jesus Christ our Lord God.
FALSE GOD
Top 5 your opinion. JESUS IS LORD
VV ki Vines Why do you think that ? What’s the right one ?
Consider this: many people of different faiths (or no faith) who have experienced near death experiences (NDEs) see Jesus and many things talked about in the Bible, and after their NDE they become Christians. Not just NDEs: people of different faiths also see Jesus and hear Him. And they claim it's a very overwhelming experience. No one ever saw Buddha or Mohammad when they died and came back. And Jesus said He is the ONLY way. Take these together and I think you can draw your own conclusions.
Bow your knee to the Lord now or bow your knee as you're about to be cast into the pit for rejecting the sacrifice Jesus paid for you on the cross. Either way, you WILL bow your knee and proclaim Jesus is Lord!!!
I wonder if people who had NDE and never heard of Jesus talked about him. Still good to hear!
@@tommyrobredo95 Exactly!
My sister saw Krishna
@@tommyrobredo95
There's a Chinese woman who had a vision of Jesus as she attempted to take her own life. Religion is banned there and she didn't know anything about God.
There's also a former Shaman who lives in a remote region. He was getting visions of Jesus.
Muslims, whose religion teaches them Jesus was just a prophet and did not die, are having visions and leaving Islam.
Listening to an intelligent and prepared Christian proclaiming Jesus, is sweet music to my ears!
Chopra looks demonic in this interview
Deepak, You can be sincere in what you believe but you can be sincerely wrong.
The possibility is there... but... it is not a necessity though!
Deepak doesn’t believe in a Truth Standard of right and wrong. He believes in the philosophy of “too each it’s own.” . If DP truly believes in Relativism then he wouldn’t be criticizing and finding fault on other belief systems . Greg Koukl pointed that out. DP is certain Koukl is wrong which defeats his own relativist position.
When Chopra said he was uncertain I think that was humble. Unless I am mistaken in the mystic world where that would be a good thing. But, I like that Jesus is real and can be known and found. So, as far as anyone being confident in Hindu, Buddha, etc....I think that they are not because their god is dead. Jesus is the only living God and I say that truthfully with love. Because Jesus is real, alive, risen, in charge and willing to allow all whosoever wishes to come unto HIM for Eternal Life it is possible to find fulfillment in him.
i think when he said he was uncertain he was saying, "I don't know, i'm lost." praying for Deepak Chopra.
Amen! I agree
Exactly! And because Jesus is real and will fulfill that hole it is good that all other ways as Steven has found cannot....no matter how hard you try.
Amen💖✨ YESHUA and YAHWEH🌌
Lol he is attempting to APPEAR humble.
This is the best thing ever. Thank you for sharing this. So many questions clearly answered and I appreciate what you're doing Steven. You and Doreen. May God continue to bless you and make His will be known through you.
Chopra got creamed big time, they didnt even need the fourth quarter.
When you get down to it, Christianity is truly the most rational religion around. People just don't like Hell and the consequences of sin, so they choose to be "uncertain" like Depak is.
Sandy Staab Or they think it's the best example of a concept describing extremely unnecessary suffering that has ever been created. Maybe they find a God causing eternal unnecessary suffering and calling it perfect justice is a bit... unbelievable.
The laws of gravity allow for a rock to hit an innocent little girl and cause her to slowly die in pain. This does not mean that the author of gravity meant it to cause suffering. The same goes for a god that creates free agency/will. Once sin starts, there is no way to stop its consequences of death and suffering without removing free will which destroys the option to love and be loved. The death of Christ shows us how much the Christian God really cared about our suffering because He took it (death and suffering) on himself for our benefit. On the other hand, a free agent that purposely causes suffering - by rebellion to the moral laws God has established - is in fact guilty of causing the suffering (something God is not) - and since this is an offense against a perfect God, it may possibly justify an infinite punishment - although do realize that there are at least 3 scripturally justified views on hell. See Steve Gregg's recent book "All you wanted to know about hell" for the details.
Sandy Staab If free will is the cause of suffering and Satan rebelled against God in Heaven, what will prevent you from sinning in Heaven?
Free will + omniscience + intervention in people's lives + plan + prophecy that is inevitable = paradox.
Sandy Staab well said!
That have created more wars, violence, mass genocide and most of all discrimination against others who don't believe like them. Greg was completely dishonest and he was dodging the real questions. I don't like either guys. But Christians who believe in eternal torture, forever and ever is incredibly evil and sinister in itself. And you guys completely dodged this issue because you know how immoral and disgustingly evil it is. Hell, of course, is the mother of all of my problems with the bible. It is perhaps the most despicable and hideous of all of the Christian God’s crimes. Indeed, the cruelest of all concentration camps. (Certainly millions of times worse than the ones created by the Nazis.) Any Christians are so afraid to address this so you dodge the issue. That's called dishonesty and Greg proved that....
As a former new age apologist, I can say that all the best teachings in new age philosophy I found in the Bible; minus the self agrandisement and with a huge dose of humility added and a true personal relationship with God.
You wrote "former new apolost". Do you still lean toward apologetics in Christianity? What is your point of view now?...humbly asking.
+Grey Matter, Beautiful by Design *new age apologist"...spell check problems. Lol
Grey Matter, Beautiful by Design
My point of view now is that the Bible is true from cover to cover,
The new age movement is satanism prettied up to look appealing to the average person,
Ye must be born again
He that hath the Son hath life, he that hath not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him
Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life
No man comes to the Father in heaven but by him
Broad is the way that leadeth unto destruction, many there be that go in thereat
Straight is the gate and narrow is the way that leadeth unto life and few there be that find it
+Beyond The Fifth Wall I see. As a former new age occultist I too believe as you stated above now. I don't want to imagine how empty and dark my life would be if I was still on that path. Thanks for sharing.
God of the Bible also allows slavery, including selling your own daughter as a sex slave (Exodus 21:1-11), child abuse (Judges 11:29-40 & Isaiah 13:16), and bashing babies against rocks (Hosea 13:16 & Psalms 137:9). This type of criminal behavior should shock any moral person. Actually Chopra gave an honest answer. There is no one has came back to tell the tale. Do you know anybody who died for a whole entire week and then came back and was able to explain what's going on after we die? No.. It was the case they would win the Nobel Peace Prize and be world-famous. And that's never happened. In Christians are dishonest by acting like they know. When they don't know.. Greg was completely dishonest and he was dodging the real questions. I don't like either guys. But Christians who believe in eternal torture, forever and ever is incredibly evil and sinister in itself. And you guys completely dodged this issue because you know how immoral and disgustingly evil it is. Hell, of course, is the mother of all of my problems with the bible.

Greg koukl destroyed deepak.
Nope
@Noé André proof what?
Good ol’ Greg! Love hearing the truth spoken with boldness and kindness.
Amazing. Bless that man supporting Jesus so well.
Greg's book 'Tactics' is the most helpful book on apologetics I've read.
this koukl guy is awesome! first time I've seen him.
Yes, he runs a solid apologetics ministry with several other guys.
yoooo Deepak looks like a ghoul bro. it's that life he's living.
I love it how it looks like Greg is having a great time and Deepak looks so upset.
I am at aww! 😳What a great video !! Thank you for the blessing
2:43 - classic, atheist getting uncomfortable when 'forgiveness of SIN' is mentioned.
Dr Truce deepak chopra is not an atheist
Deepak looks evil 😮
You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free!!! Jesus
"I don't want you to believe what I believe. That's why I've written so many books."
Got it. Completely incoherent thinking.
Research people RESEARCH! Yeshua Hamashiach is the TRUTH!
u italian?
+when2033comesyouaredone You have an interesting account name. I wonder what you think will happen, curious to know.
Amen!
amen!
+when2033comesyouaredone Thanks for the information, interesting idea, I've actually been attempting to calculate the year of his second coming as well, though I've gotten the same range of time from 2030 to 2045. The difference in the time line is the calendar difference. Hebrew chronology is based in the lunar calendar, take that into account with your math in case you haven't
I'd like to see Ravi Zacharias speak with Deepak Chopra. Would be very interesting.
If only God didn't take our beloved so soon. God Rest his soul.
HE IS IN HEAVEN
RIP RAVI
@@nonami_066xswqoqowiwl do you still think Ravi is in heaven?
A lie cannot become the truth, it will only become a bigger lie. The truth will always remain the truth because it is the truth, and that's the truth!
I wish I was as well spoken as Koukl. Very truthful, yet respectful and doesn't talk down to Chopra. I appreciate that.
Deepak Chopra said his faith does not come from a book, yet he writes books of his version on spirituality, selling millions worldwide to people who have faith in what he has written.
He writes about his personal experiences of sprituality.Abd this guy is dumb fuck who confined sanatan Dharma into context of religion.
Great video!!! I love this guy Greg! He is fantastic. Thank you.
Yep not knowing the Truth is somehow a better argument than actually knowing the Truth.
Chopra seriously doesn't know how to prove his point or talk cas it ain't the real truth.
He may as well say ,my faith doesnt come from an objective book it comes from my own imagination
Chopra sets himself up as a guru but he is just another skeptic and anti.
this was amazing. THANK YOU.
It's almost sad seeing a guy getting obliterated like that, but I guess that's what happens when you decide to go to war against God
The more I listen, the more I fall in love with Greg Koukl. I follow him as he follows Christ. Stay grounded and fervent, brother Greg. 💞🙏👏🔥❣️
Awesome response! This is why Christians must not only have Biblical understanding but wordly knowledge as well.
I am here after reading Greg's book Tactics. A masterpiece & must read.
Why is it i can see evil in eyes of deepak chopra
Deepak seems unsure and lost. LOL, and i guess it's true about "eyes are windows to the soul" coz bro his eyes are creepy af
FutureXXD and they look lost and sad.
This was a awesome find
I stand for the religion called love, which turns out to be the common factor across almost every religion. Love is eternal and will never fade…
If truth were relative, it wouldn't be truth at all. It would be opinion.
DJ Pâtes say that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"the difference between me and you is that you are certain and I am not" I laughed because that is incredible. The fact that I once was so deceived by the New Age stuff that I was completely blinded to know who Jesus Christ is. I felt so ignorant 😢 but I am sooo happy Jesus Christ saved me
May God bless you!
I wish the time was spent with a loving curiosity and interest in connecting with each other. Both of them have important and interesting things to say.
its high time deepak chopra take a good look of himself in mirror. he has turned into an evil creature exuding cynicism, nihilism and sarcasm. if thats where the top self help guru leading you to, im not buying it. never.
world was much better place with out these self help charlatans around. really!
Nah, he's just turned into an idiot, like most Christian apologists as well. People like Jordan Peterson are no different.
The wisdom of uncertainty? Hmm, sorry but that sounds ridiculous. that is one of the silliest thing I've ever heard
Wonder if his physician says that to him, "I'm going to rely on the wisdom of uncertainty and I'm comfortable with that." Will dr. Chopra be still as comfortable 🤔👨⚕️
There's just something about that Deepak guy's face, with huge dark circles under his eyes.
Awesome!!!!! Greg Koukl is great! He totally exposed Chopra!
Wow so intense and so good!
Yeah Deepak lost the debate and I'm glad it wasn't just me that saw way his face changed.
Ribb Rotgut Greg answered each and every one of the questions very completely and eloquently. It's funny how all the anti-christian people in the comments here are saying, "Deepak won and the Christian guy just couldn't answer any of the questions". What? You guys must not be watching the same video. More likely, you're all just hearing what you want to hear.
The Bible did not go through13 “iterations” ....and it wasn’t dependent on Constantine
Title of video has me cracking. 😂
Wow. Nice job, man of God. Chopra got seriously owned there.
Good video. Jesus wins again!!
We need to pray for this guy...that God would speak to him and open his eyes to the truth of the Gospels
And that God would grant him repentance.
Blasphemy isn't forgivable.
Wow! Incredible! LOVE wins in every engagement. Totally love it!
Uhhhh this is fireeee !!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Wanted to see someone school Deepak...this guy is a legend!
I once asked a friend about this debate. He is a fan of the New Spirituality and he said he likes Chopra's stand. I wanted to say, "Forget about whose views you like, which one did you think spoke the truth?" Even though I did not get the chance to ask this, I think it is very telling that his evaluation of the debate was not based on Truth but on his feelings. Besides, Chopra is obviously a deceiver or completely ignorant of anything outside of his superficial thought system echo chamber. In his book, Why Jesus?, Ravi Zacharias eviscerates Chopra, showing him for the charlatan he is.
This doesn't appear to be the full debate. Is there any place where I can see all of it?
One guy points to the book, the other points to the Word
Dang man I do feel embarrassed for even reading his book. This is confirmation to stick to the true source of what I know. And that’s Jesus Christ! B.I.B.L.E Basic instructions before Leaving Earth. Let’s wake up people!!
Trip'CBeats Production You think you’re awake when in fact you are deep asleep
The bible teaches us to beware of false doctrines and TO QUESTION EVERYTHING! BECAUSE JESUS CAN BE PROVEN USING SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE.
Exactly what I was thinking when I instantly looked at him. Praise and GLORY to our Savior Jesus, the Christ!
If you are not certain then don't write anything mr. Chopra
