Another Jesus

Another Jesus: How False Religions Twist the Truth About Christ

Exposing Another Jesus in Today’s Spirituality

In our modern world, countless spiritual movements mention Jesus—but it’s not the Jesus of the Bible. It’s another Jesus—one crafted to suit human philosophies, mystical ideologies, and false religious systems.

From New Age mysticism to cults like Mormonism and Jehovah’s Witnesses, the biblical identity of Jesus is altered or denied altogether. Dr. Carl Jung popularized the idea of a “Christ archetype” reachable through visualization, where people conjure a spirit guide named “Jesus” who imparts so-called divine wisdom. But this is not the Son of God—this is a deception.

In Mormonism, Jesus is a spirit brother of Lucifer. Jehovah’s Witnesses reduce Him to an angel. Islam claims Jesus wasn’t crucified and denies His divinity. The BahΓ‘ΚΌΓ­ Faith says another has already come in His place. Even Edgar Cayce, the New Age prophet, declared Jesus “fell in Eden” and “died as a man.”

But what does the Bible say? Jesus declared, “Before Abraham was, I AM” (John 8:58), identifying Himself as eternal and divine. The apostles affirmed His deity—“our great God and Savior Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:13). He is “God with us” (Matthew 1:23), “the Lord our righteousness” (Jeremiah 23:6), and the only way to the Father (John 14:6).

Who Do They Say Jesus Is? A Clear Contrast Between Truth and Deception

“But who do you say that I am?” — Matthew 16:15

False religions, cults, and New Age philosophies may use the name of Jesus—but the “Jesus” they refer to is not the Jesus of the Bible. These deceptive ideologies twist Scripture, redefine Christ, and undermine His deity, atonement, and Lordship.

🚫 Distortions from Occult and Eastern Sources

  • Gurdjieff Foundation: Gurdjieff blasphemed Jesus, saying, “I hate your Jesus, poor Jewish boy.”

  • A Course in Miracles (Helen Schucman): “Jesus is a man like all other men… not God’s only helper. Christ takes many forms with different names.”

  • Masonry (Manly P. Hall): Reduces Jesus to a symbolic “Solar Deity” with “Christ consciousness,” denying His uniqueness and divinity.

  • Self-Realization Fellowship (Yogananda): Teaches that Jesus and Krishna are avatars expressing “universal consciousness.”

  • Sri Chinmoy: Claims Christ laughs when people call Him the only Savior.

  • Integral Yoga (Satchidananda): “Christ is not a person—it’s an experience.” Total denial of Jesus’ personhood and divinity.

πŸ”„ New Age Redefinitions of Christ

  • Agni Yoga & Eastern Mystics: Merge Jesus with impersonal energy or a “universal idea,” stripping Him of His identity as the Son of God.

  • Vedanta: Rejects Christ’s uniqueness, claiming those who do are confused.

  • Sikhism (Yogi Bhajan): Calls Jesus “a man of God only,” not a Savior.

Cultic Misrepresentations of Jesus

  • Jehovah’s Witnesses: Say Jesus is really Michael the Archangel, not divine.

  • Iglesia Ni Cristo: Denies Jesus as Creator and rejects the Trinity.

  • Christian Science (Mary Baker Eddy): Teaches Jesus was only the highest human concept of God—not God Himself.

  • Christadelphians: Assert Jesus did not exist before Bethlehem and is not part of the Godhead.

  • Christian Spiritual Alliance: Denies Jesus as the “only begotten Son.

Doctrinal Deviations: False Beliefs About Jesus Christ Exposed

Throughout history and in modern times, many groups have strayed from the biblical truth concerning Jesus Christ—His deity, eternal existence, and unique role in salvation. These deviations compromise the foundation of the gospel and distort the true nature of our Lord and Savior. Below is a comparison of several movements and their teachings that contradict Scripture.

Oneness Pentecostalism

David Bernard, a leading voice in this movement, denies the eternal Sonship of Christ, stating:

“The Son of God existed from all eternity only as a plan in the mind of God.”
“The role of the son is temporary and not eternal.”
“The Son of God refers to the humanity of Jesus.”
These teachings contradict the Bible, which reveals Jesus as eternally existent and coequal with the Father (John 1:1-3, Col. 1:17).

The Way International

Paul Wierwille claimed that Jesus did not exist prior to His birth except in God’s foreknowledge:

“Jesus Christ... was made by God.”
This denies Christ’s preexistence and divinity, which the Bible affirms (John 8:58, Philippians 2:5-7).

Unity School of Christianity

Founder Charles Fillmore stated:

“Jesus is not the only begotten Son of God.”
This denies the uniqueness of Christ’s divine Sonship (John 3:16).

Unitarian Universalism

Minister Waldemar Argow stated:

“They do not regard Him as a supernatural creature... or the literal Son of God.”
This view rejects both Christ’s divine nature and His role in salvation.

Mormonism (LDS Church)

Teachings include:

“Lucifer... is our elder brother and the brother of Jesus Christ.”
“Jesus... was begotten in the flesh by the same character that was in the garden of Eden.”
“Jesus got married at Cana and had many wives.”
These blasphemous statements undermine Christ’s divine nature and promote a false Christ (2 Cor. 11:4).

Unification Church (Sun Myung Moon)

They teach:

“It is a great error to think Jesus was God Himself.”
“Jesus... was a man no different from us.”
This directly contradicts John 1:14 and Colossians 2:9, which affirm Jesus as God incarnate.

Word of Faith Movement

Prominent voices like Kenneth Copeland and Benny Hinn have made troubling claims:

  • Copeland said, “Jesus has a beginning and an end,” and “Satan conquered Jesus on the Cross.”

  • Hinn taught that Jesus “was reborn” and that each member of the Trinity has “His own spirit-body.”
    These heretical teachings distort the gospel and misrepresent the eternal deity of Christ.

New Age Teachings

New Age authors such as Matthew Fox, Barbara Marx Hubbard, and David Spangler redefine Christ as a universal or cosmic force:

“The Christ is within everyone.”
“Christ is the same force as Lucifer.”
“The Cosmic Christ is the divine pattern in all creatures.”
These views promote pantheism and deny the exclusive divinity of Jesus as the only way to God (John 14:6).

Rosicrucianism & Theosophy

Rosicrucians claim:

“Jesus did not teach salvation of the soul.”
“The Christ spirit... was a ray from the cosmic Christ.”
Helena Blavatsky (Theosophy) added:
“Jesus never called Himself God... just a son of God.”
These esoteric beliefs remove Christ’s divine authority and distort His mission.

Scientology & Transcendental Meditation

L. Ron Hubbard minimized Christ, calling Him “just a shade above clear.”
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi interpreted Christ’s words to mean:

“Be still and know that you are God.”
Such teachings are not only misleading but promote self-deification.

Lucis Trust & Urantia Book

Alice Bailey and the Urantia Book redefine the Incarnation as a cosmic principle and strip Jesus of His unique divine identity. The Urantia Book claims:

“Jesus is the 611,121st universal concept of divinity.”
This turns Christ into a spiritual myth rather than the living Son of God.


⚠️ The Danger

These groups all use the name “Jesus”, but they preach another Jesus (2 Corinthians 11:4). The Bible warns that false christs and doctrines will arise in the last days to deceive even the elect (Matthew 24:24).

Jesus is not an avatar, a cosmic force, or just another prophet. He is the eternal Son of God, the Word made flesh (John 1:1,14), the only Savior (Acts 4:12), and the soon-coming King of Kings (Revelation 19:16).

The Biblical Truth

The Bible affirms that Jesus Christ is the eternal, preexistent, and divine Son of God:

  • John 1:1 – “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

  • Colossians 2:9 – “For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.”

  • John 14:6 – Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

Any teaching that denies Jesus' deity, eternal existence, or unique role in salvation is false and dangerous. Christians must remain grounded in Scripture and reject counterfeit doctrines.
