I want to, I want to handle this in a mature and thoughtful way that says there's, like, gracious love between people who d- have different faiths, but we cannot pretend that all faiths are, like, equal or that they can just be sort of intermingled in these ways.
This is something that while maybe Vivek is comfortable saying these things about Jesus, he should understand that to Christians, this is apostasy if anybody accepts what he's saying.
Uh, we're going to walk through the claims one at a time to try to help him understand it.
If you're, like, a Hindu or if you, you kind of lean towards Vivek's understanding, I'd ask for you, even if you feel like you're not going to agree with me, try to understand what I'm saying.
Just try to get clarity, even if you don't have agreement, and understand why what he said, while you can tell he's trying to build a bridge, you can tell he's trying to, like, be open and honest and, and share what he really thinks and h- and also at the same time build a bridge, how that bridge, it shouldn't be the one he builds.
There's a different bridge he could try to build, and it's definitely not [laughs] the one he's trying to build, in my opinion.

It's not a hard question at all.
So in, in our faith tradition, Jesus Christ is a son of God.
I know that is different than saying he's the son of God, but that-
How should a Christian respond to such a thing, or how should we think about such a thing? This is a way to some of honoring Jesus, of exalting Jesus, like lifting him up, like I'm giving him high status.
However, when you're talking about God in the flesh, about God, creator of all things, who comes in human form, when you talk about him and you call him a son of God, it amounts to high heresy.
