Sergei Torop is no more crazy than several people who write to me on and off . . . but nor has he really anything much to do with the Jesus of the gospels, the first-century man from Nazareth. He sounds very much like a low-grade version of the sort of self-help religion you get in popular bookshops: bits and pieces of this and that.

Put it another way: if this man is the real Jesus, then not only the one we have in the gospels, but most of the others whom scholars have tried to 'reconstruct' from time to time, were barking up the wrong tree. If God had really wanted to give us late 20th Century religious gobbledygook, why would he have bothered to send Jesus to tell us about the kingdom of God coming on earth as in heaven?

I don't think you are crazy for asking the question, but you'd have to be crazy to see this man as anything other than either seriously deluded or a muddled hoaxer.
