Swedish professor, Stockholm, September 10, 1973: […] I may ask you, you see, that this foundation is a Christian foundation, and I wonder what is your personal opinion about the main figure in the Gospel, Jesus Christ.
Prabhupada: I do not know much about him. What is that? You know? Anybody knows?
Hamsaduta: The main feature of the Gospel of Jesus Christ?
Guest: No, Jesus Christ.
Hamsaduta: What is your opinion about his main teaching?
Prabhupada: Yes. But main teaching, so far we read Bible, Jesus Christ said, “Thou shalt not kill.” But they are, you are, everyone is killing. That’s all. The first commandment is violated. It is clearly said, “Thou shalt not kill.” But when I ask any Christian, “Why you are killing?” He cannot give me any satisfactory answer.
Swedish professor: But in himself, Christ himself. I mean not the…
Prabhupada: Christ. We offer our all respect to Jesus Christ. Yes. We call “Lord.” We offer our sincere respects to him. That is all right. His teaching is all right. He gives you the message of God. We are doing the same thing. So therefore he is bona fide. Anyone who is spreading the knowledge of God, he is bona fide representative of God. That we admit. But unfortunately, his instructions are not being followed. That is our lamentation. Otherwise it is very nice. Full Lecture
