interesting what prabhupada has to say

 

all glories to srila prabhupada

 

The Srimad-Bhagavatam states that any bona fide preacher of God consciousness

must have the qualities of titiksa (tolerance) and karuna (compassion). In the

character of Lord Jesus Christ we find both these qualities. He was so tolerant

that even while he was being crucified, he didn't condemn anyone. And he was so

compassionate that he prayed to God to forgive the very persons who were trying

to kill him. (Of course, they could not actually kill him. But they were

thinking that he could be killed, so they were committing a great offense.) As

Christ was being crucified he prayed, "Father, forgive them. They know not what

they are doing."

 

Christ, the Friend Of All Living Beings

 

A preacher of God consciousness is a friend to all living beings. Lord Jesus

Christ exemplified this by teaching, "Thou shalt not kill." But the Christians

like to misinterpret this instruction. They think the animals have no soul, and

therefore they think they can freely kill billions of innocent animals in the

slaughterhouses. So although there are many persons who profess to be

Christians, it would be very difficult to find one who strictly follows the

instructions of Lord Jesus Christ.

 

Christ Goes On Suffering for Your Sins?

 

A Vaisnava, a pure devotee of the Lord is unhappy to see the suffering of

others. Therefore, Lord Jesus Christ agreed to be crucified to free others from

their suffering. But his followers are so unfaithful that they have decided,

"Let Christ suffer for us, and we'll go on committing sin." They love Christ so

much that they think, "My dear Christ, we are very weak. We cannot give up our

sinful activities. So you please suffer for us."

 

Jesus Christ taught, "Thou shalt not kill." But his followers have now decided,

"Let us kill anyway," and they open big, modern, scientific slaughter houses.

If there is any sin, Christ will suffer for us." This is a most abominable

conclusion.

 

Christ can take the sufferings for the previous sins of his devotees. But first

they have to be sane: "Why should I put Jesus Christ into suffering for my

sins? Let me stop my sinful activities."

 

Suppose a man -- the favorite son of his father -- commits a murder. And

suppose he thinks, "If there is any punish ment coming, my father can suffer

for me." Will the law allow it? When the murderer is arrested and says, "No,

no. You can release me and arrest my father, I am his pet son," will the police

officials comply with that fool's request? He committed the murder, but he

thinks his father should suffer the punishment! Is that a sane proposal? No.

You have committed the murder, you must be hanged." Similarly, when you commit

sinful activities, you must suffer -- not Jesus Christ. This is God's law.

 

We Adore Lord Jesus Christ

 

Jesus Christ was such a great personality -- the son of God, the representative

of God. He had no fault. Still, he was crucified. He wanted to deliver God

consciousness, but in return they crucified him -- they were so thankless. They

could not appreciate his preaching. But we appreciate him and give him all

honor as the representative of God.

 

Of course, the message that Christ preached was just according to his

particular time, place, and country, and just suited for a particular group of

people. But certainly he is the representative of God. Therefore we adore Lord

Jesus Christ and offer our obeisances to him.

 

Jesus Is Our Guru

 

Once, in Melbourne, a group of Chris tian ministers came to visit me. They

asked, "What is your idea of Jesus Christ?" I told them, "He is our guru. He is

preaching God consciousness, so he is our spiritual master." The ministers very

much appreciated that.

 

Actually, anyone who is preaching God's glories must be accepted as a guru.

Jesus Christ is one such great personality. We should not think of him as an

ordinary human being. The scriptures say that anyone who considers the

spiritual master to be an ordinary man has a hellish mentality. If Jesus Christ

were an ordinary man, then he could not have delivered God consciousness.

 

Krsna or Christ, The Name Is the Same

 

Christ comes from the Greek word Christos, and Christos is the Greek version of

the word Krsna. When an Indian person calls on Krsna, he often says "Krsta."

Krsna is a Sanskrit word mean ing the object of attraction." So when we address

God as "Christ,Krsta," or "Krsna," we indicate the same all-attractive

Supreme Personality of Godhead. When Jesus said, "Our father, who art in

heaven, hallowed be Thy name," that name of God was Krsta or Krsna. "Christ" is

simply another way of saying "Krsta," and "Krsta" is another way of pronouncing

Krsna.

 

Therefore, the Christian clergymen should cooperate with the Krsna

consciousness movement. They should chant the name Christ or Christos and

should stop condoning the slaughter of animals. This is not some philosophy

that I have fabricated; it is taught in the Bible. If the Christians follow

these principles, the world situation will improve. If they simply stop killing

animals and chant the holy name of Christ, everything will be perfect. The

Bible also demands this. So the Christians should cooperate with us and chant.

 

Actually, it doesn't matter -- Krsna or Christ -- the name is the same. The

main point is to chant the name of God. The easiest way is to chant the

maha-mantra: Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare

Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.

what a nonsense thought!

 

i suggest the monitors of this forum delete such post from this hindu forum.

 

this is like concocting an imaginary story

and then cause others (of the posters gang) to discuss as if it was true or cause doubt in the hindus.

 

wht authority or qualification these anti vedic xians have to understgand the vedic literature or krishna?

nothing.

 

it is better to chant than to read such posts.
