Krishna Consciousness is a form of what is known in India as "Bhakti Yoga", the yoga of devotional service. It was founded by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu in the 1400's..
I wonder why he rejected Jesus?

We don't reject Jesus. We simply don't think "believing" is the criteria to get to some kind of paradise. Personally I find it how funny how so-called Christians actually completely ignore Jesus' teachings and yet think they are all good with God because they believe. Like the Pharisee in the Parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector.I wonder why he rejected Jesus?

Ultimately I don't think it matters whether one considers Christos to be "The Son of God", a "Prophet and the Messiah", an "Avatar". The thing which is of importance is to try to live by His wise sayings. Actually Chaitanya also was said to have performed some miracles, though displaying occult power doesn't strike me as a necessary qualification for a Prophet.Yes, there are many "christians" who won't make the grade and I cross the street to avoid them-
Jesus said -"Not all who call me "Lord, Lord" will enter the kingdom of heaven. Then I'll tell them plainly, I never knew you, get away from me" (Matt 7:21-23)
But in fairness to them, they likewise cross the street to avoid ME..
As for "believing", it depends what you mean. Jesus's 37 miracles were pretty strong proof that the power of God was flowing through him, so when he said he's the son of God, I'm inclined to believe he was telling the truth-
"..even though you do not believe me, believe the miracles, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father" (John 10:38)

There is no cult. That's simply Satan, using your ego to regurgitate his lies for him, so he can continue leading you into The Fire. And you apparently don't even realize that every time you repeat that LIE, you are employing a logical fallacy (ad hominem attack), proving you're unreasonable/unscriptural position is untenable.Last I looked..Paul is still an apostle in the Bible and your cult leader isn’t..
Christ was SENT by Father ONLY for the "House of Israel", just as Christ COMMANDED His Disciples ONLY go to the "House of Israel"..
It's just the old Sun God death and resurrection story, like Dionysus. As it happens the story of the birth of Krishna is very similar to the Christ birth story.No offence to founders of other religions, but they're all corpses in boxes somewhere but Jesus is not, spot the difference?..
And the Old Testament is chock-full of prophecies foretelling the arrival of Jesus-
Jesus said "All things about ME in the law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms, must be fulfilled"...The scriptures testify about ME...Moses wrote about ME" (Luke 24:44, John 5:46)
Though actually I do agree that there is something special about the Christ, that His teachings are a very unique kind of wisdom. The same knowledge can be found in other religions, but it's concealed. Of course the majority of Christians pay literally no attention to what He actually said, they don't grasp any of the symbolism He used in speaking, they miss the import of the Parables. Like the one about the Pharisee and the tax collector, they think that they are the humble tax collector when in fact they are the proud Pharisee (who thinks he is alright with God).No offence to founders of other religions, but they're all corpses in boxes somewhere but Jesus is not, spot the difference?..

Full credit to early philosophers and thinkers, but the bottom line is they were just ordinary human beings giving us their own best guesses and hunches, whereas Jesus was giving us the words of God himself, and that's the difference.It's just the old Sun God death and resurrection story, like Dionysus.

Yeah, Krishna Consciousness is a technique, various ascetic disciplines plus the recitation of Maha Mantra, which is basically a form of meditation. The problem with many so-called Christians is that they don't think such disciplines are necessary. Effectively for self-realization a technique is needed, whether it be silent meditation, mantra recitation etc. The Orthodox Hesychast have some specifically Christian technique for those who aren't open to other ways (the Jesus Prayer).Full credit to early philosophers and thinkers, but the bottom line is they were just ordinary human beings giving us their own best guesses and hunches, whereas Jesus was giving us the words of God himself, and that's the difference.
Jesus said - "For I have not spoken on my own authority; but the Father who sent me gave me a command, what I should say and what I should speak" (John 12:49)
That's why a young carpenter completely upstaged all the rest..
(PS- some years ago I read the book "The Science of Self-Realisation" written by Swami Prabhupadha of the Hare Krishnas and was quite impressed by it at first, but then I realised he was simply saying much of what Jesus had already said in a different way, so I couldn't see the point of it.
David Icke also says much of what Jesus has already said (but in a different way), so I can't see the point of Icke either)
You’re in a cult..its not satan using my ego..but yours.There is no cult. That's simply Satan, using your ego to regurgitate his lies for him, so he can continue leading you into The Fire. And you apparently don't even realize that every time you repeat that LIE, you are employing a logical fallacy (ad hominem attack), proving you're unreasonable/unscriptural position is untenable.
And while looking in the Bible didn't you notice that Christ is still THE MASTER/TEACHER?
Paul very plainly stated that blindness as to their true identity as Israelites, had befallen the ten-tribed "House of Israel". That's why they're referred to as the "lost sheep" of the "House of Israel", or the ten "lost" tribes, etc., because their migration after fleeing captivity in Assyria remained a mystery until these end-times, likewise as prophesied (Dan. 12:7, already cited).
Of course you ignore the words of Paul, or feign ignorance of them, or are genuinely ignorant of their true meaning, just as Peter warned would happen (2 Pet. 3:16-17). And you repeatedly do the same with the words of Christ, to your shame, accusing others of "muddying the water" who simply share direct quotes from Christ, as if you know better than Christ.
Christ was SENT by Father ONLY for the "House of Israel", just as Christ COMMANDED His Disciples ONLY go to the "House of Israel". And it should be self-evident why God sent Christ and why Christ sent His Disciples, as that is where the "Elect" will be; i..e the 144,000 who are redeemed from the Earth.
How can you claim to be a (Sunday-school) teacher of Israel (which both Christ and Paul said you should NEVER be) and not know these things?
Do you really not realize how anti-Christ it is to so frequently contradict both Christ and Paul as you do?
Says satan, through your ego/arrogance ("self"). It's actually YOU who are in a cult (culture), and that cult is known as "Christianity" which has absolutely NOTHING to do with the true Teachings of Christ.You’re in a cult..its not satan using my ego..but yours.
It's not a trick. The Bible has a very simple and straightforward message throughout: obey God ONLY (Acts 5:29) and LIVE (Deut. 30:15); obey Him not and DIE (Ezek. 18:4, 20, Rom. 6:23).Anyone can quote the Bible..now the trick is to be right about what it means...its called wisdom.
THAT is the REAL you, the spirit-Being within, recognizing Christ, like Father, says exactly what He means, and means exactly what He says, no matter what Satan's priests, pastors, and Sunday school teachers say to the contrary.Yes, He was sent to the house of Israel..
And THAT is your human/ego "self", which is controlled by Satan, which is why it immediately contradicted what God and Christ told you in the previous statement you made (which was God speaking through you, confirming the words of Christ).but also to the gentiles when He was rejected by the house of Israel.
That it means EXACTLY what it says, NOT what Satan's churches teach. A SON is the CREATED OFFSPRING of the Son's Father, NOT some third member of a pagan, schizophrenic idolatrous trio.What do you think it means when God says He so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son?
Says your arrogant human "self" who doesn't even know the difference between the "House of Israel" and the "House of Judah", or what a "Jew" really is (2000 years ago or now), or even what a Father-Son relationship is. All it knows is what it's been taught by the satanic leaders of Christianity, who are "the blind leading the blind" exactly as Christ said 2000 years ago.You‘re the one that doesn’t get scripture right..not me.
Why not strive to be Christ-like (like Christ, disciplined) instead of claiming to be something that Christ said none of us should ever be?I just claim to be a Christian...
IF you accept His Free Gift by DOING what Christ has COMMANDED us to do. How could anyone judge themselves to be "saved" when Christ said NO ONE has EVER gone to heaven except for Him? Arrogance perhaps?saved by the blood of Jesus.
Paul’s writings are part of the Bible and are most of the NT...so, idk what you’re talking about there.Says satan, through your ego/arrogance ("self"). It's actually YOU who are in a cult (culture), and that cult is known as "Christianity" which has absolutely NOTHING to do with the true Teachings of Christ.
In fact, your cult would more aptly be named "Paulianity" or "Churchianity" because it is entirely based upon the MISINTERPRETATIONS of the letters of Paul and going to church (which Christ condemned), to be seen by others.
Ya, He meant that He came first to the house of Israel and then to the Gentiles when He was rejected..but it was always the plan to save everyone..hence the word world in John 3:16..you should read the whole word of God and not just stop at the bits you like.THAT is the REAL you, the spirit-Being within, recognizing Christ, like Father, says exactly what He means, and means exactly what He says, no matter what Satan's priests, pastors, and Sunday school teachers say to the contrary.
And THAT is your human/ego "self", which is controlled by Satan, which is why it immediately contradicted what God and Christ told you in the previous statement you made (which was God speaking through you, confirming the words of Christ).
Christ said He was NOT sent but to the "House of Israel", with no ifs, and's or buts. And the House of Israel did NOT reject Christ; the "House of Judah" living among the "Jews" did. So your "self" just made a fool of itself AGAIN, proving to everyone who controls it (Satan).
Talking to yourself?That it means EXACTLY what it says, NOT what Satan's churches teach. A SON is the CREATED OFFSPRING of the Son's Father, NOT some third member of a pagan, schizophrenic idolatrous trio.
Christ paid for the PAST SINS of everyone (Rom. 3:25), giving every single spirit-Being the opportunity to come to their senses and to be GRAFTED into Israel, just as He gave everyone in Israel the opportunity to remain there IF they came to their senses, and learned humility and obedience (i.e. fearing God), which is the BEGINNING of Wisdom.
It does NOT say that the world would love Christ. In fact, Christ repeatedly stated that almost no one in the world want anything to do with Him, because they have no love for the Truth. Of course this should be self-evident, given the FACT that Jesus was crucified for telling the world the Truth.
The amazing arrogance of so-called Christians is that they actually believe they are better than everyone else, and that millions upon millions of them will somehow be rewarded for being habitual criminals (i.e. continually disobeying the COMMANDMENTS), even though 2000 years ago, out of the entire world, only 12 people were willing to drop everything to follow Christ, and one of those ultimately betrayed Him.
What do you think the people 2000 years ago called Christ and the Disciples? A CULT. And who was the REAL cult (worldly, and thus satanic culture)? The Jews. It was the Jewish leaders, aka the Sanhedrin, who plotted and manipulated the murder of Jesus.
Here we are, 2000 years later, and NOTHING has changed, except for the worse. People are still clinging to their evil, satanic organized religions, and calling Christ a liar, while they exalt themselves and pretend they can judge themselves to be saved.
What amazing arrogance!
I know that the Jews, covers it all. No...not all Christianity is the blind leading the blind..there are some that are wolves in sheep’s clothing but God still has His church.Says your arrogant human "self" who doesn't even know the difference between the "House of Israel" and the "House of Judah", or what a "Jew" really is (2000 years ago or now), or even what a Father-Son relationship is. All it knows is what it's been taught by the satanic leaders of Christianity, who are "the blind leading the blind" exactly as Christ said 2000 years ago.
The human "self" couldn't care less about "salvation" because it knows that it is going to die, and lives every moment of its fleeting existence in fear of that death. So it's all too happy to continue to con you, for its master Satan, into believing it's utter nonsense. Especially if it helps keep it inflated.
The REAL you, the spirit-Being (Soul) within, should know that we all should be on our best behavior, to be as obedient as possible to God, believing/trusting Him in ALL things (Faith) not just because it's our only hope of salvation (as Christ teaches), but because it's also the only way to help Christ put this world right. That's what it means to DO God's Will, by putting the needs of everyone else above one's "self", like Christ did and still does.
How am I not Christ like?Why not strive to be Christ-like (like Christ, disciplined) instead of claiming to be something that Christ said none of us should ever be?
You have to believe in Him...there is nothing else you have to do but believe. Paul wouldn’t steer anyone wrong..IF you accept His Free Gift by DOING what Christ has COMMANDED us to do. How could anyone judge themselves to be "saved" when Christ said NO ONE has EVER gone to heaven except for Him? Arrogance perhaps?
