Hm… I think some folks are correct in saying that whenever a church has the word “uniting” or “united” in its name, there’s trouble a-brewing.
Dr. Francis Macnab, a noted psychotherapist and executive minister at St. Michael’s Uniting Church in Melbourne, Australia, has proclaimed “a new faith for the 21st Century” that goes beyond orthodox Christianity.
Firing a provocative salvo to launch his new faith, he has claimed, among other things, that the Ten Commandments are “one of the most negative documents ever written”; Abraham is probably a concoction (of the imagination), Moses a mass murderer and Jesus, well, now, he was just a Jewish peasant and certainly was not God.
This is a must-read article from the Michigan attorney who first brought the “New Age Movement” to the attention of the evangelical world in the early 1980s in her landmark book The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow (Huntington House, 1983).
In this new article, Cumbey links New Age leaders with evangelical leaders in ways which have heretofore have been undisclosed. Based on the groundbreaking research on the evangelical secret society called “The Family” (or “The Fellowship”) made public by Jeff Sharlet in his recently released book The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power, Cumbey connects the dots to the Institute of Noetic Sciences. And she adds important pieces to the perplexing puzzle of interconnections between key evangelical leaders and ranking New Agers.
Here’s a good example of how such New Age doctrines are making their way into our churches, courtesy of folks like Patricia King and an introduction to Ekstasis “worship”.
On a related note, I’ll like to draw your attention to Vee’s blog where she shares her salvation experience and deliverance from when she herself was “… mixed up with a Christian Spiritualist”.
I pray that it will warn you of the dangers of this movement, and help you discern against such occult practices.
No, they might not look like Patricia King featured in the video, but they will spout the same New Age/Mystic terms as she does. Watch out for such terms in teachings. Neither should you let them lay hands on you or give you their impartations!
Maybe some of you might be able to offer some advice here on this issue.
My mom-in-law passed my wife a CD earlier today asking if we could help replicate it. The issue of copyright aside, my wife and I have decided that we’ll be telling my mom-in-law a white lie that it has some Digital Rights Management (DRM) on it and we can’t replicate it.
The issue is that the CD is from a book called Invoking Angels and contains tracks with titles like Archangel Meditation, Wise Guide Meditation and Guardian Angel Meditation, and was loaned to my mom-in-law by an elder of the extended family.
I’m back with another installment where I share with you my favorite blog posts in the past week:
Have You Been To The Church Of “O”?
Are you a Christian woman or man who is intently following Oprah Winfrey’s series on The New Earth or even A Course in Miracles? Well, stop!
You’re listening to a woman who “took God out of the box” and thinks that God is “jealous of me” in her own words! Instead of finding out for herself what that word ‘jealous’ means, she goes on a search for something “more than doctrine” then lands herself right smack into the occult teachings of people like Marianne Williamson and Eckhart Tolle.
She’s just full of herself, really. As my wife pointed out, if she could interpret “jealous God” as “God is jealous of me”, we all know just who she is centered on! And now, she’s misleading millions down a slippery slope that ends in a plunge into the bottomless pit called HELL.
On April 5, The Moses Code, a film by James Twyman, will be opening in a theater near you.
What is the Moses code anyway?
Well, the trailer claims that “35 hundred years ago, God spoke to Moses and gave him a code that became the foundation of the Law of Attraction and the Laws of Manifestation”.
Huh?! Which part of the Bible says that there was such a code?
Well, remember the words spoken by God to Moses when the latter asked for His name?
Then Moses said to God, “If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?” God said to Moses, “I am who I am.” And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel, ‘I am has sent me to you.’”
Exodus 3:13-14
Now that you know, watch the trailer and barf:
Slice of Laodicea has more on this movie, including (get this) how there will be many prayer groups all over the world holding prayer vigils in tandem with the release of the movie:
If you don’t read anything else on Slice today, please read this post. Following in the footsteps of The Secret and its teachings on the Law of Attraction, a movie is opening April 5 called“The Moses Code”. Please read about it, watch the trailer, and realize that 1000 prayer groups all over the world are holding prayer vigils like this one (see April 5) as they screen the movie. In the trailer when the actors in the movie come out with the blasphemous “I AM” statements, it sums up perfectly the New Spirituality we’ve been warning about. These are folks who believe that THEY are God. These people are praying for this evolutionary “shift” in the consciousness of the planet. So while these Satanic prayer vigils are going on, what is the evangelical and emerging churches doing? Helping things along by holding hair and fashion shows like Victory Church in Amarillo last Sunday instead of preaching the powerful Word of God; by holding yet another Christian sex event like Mark Driscoll, the foul mouthed preacher boy, who is now holding “Song of Solomon” conferences where he gets to talk about breasts and oral sex and justify it because, it’s in the Bible, after all. You can see Driscoll’s disgusting video right here. (Why is it that when these guys talk about sexuality it always carries a feeling of grime?) While Christian pastors obsess about sexuality and serve as ringmasters at their evangelical circuses, the enemy is holding prayer vigils. When is the last time you heard about one of those in a Christian church?
I am guessing there’s a feeding frenzy now on on all things New Age, with New Age priestess Oprah Winfrey’s recommendations to millions of her viewers to study “A Course in Miracles” by Marianne Williamson, watch “The Secret” DVD and promoting the latest “Get Ready to be Awakened” series of online courses by Eckhart Tolle on one end, and movies such as these on the other.
And I don’t think I exaggerate when I say that I’ve never ever seen occult practices pushed so blatantly in mainstream media! Until now…
Indeed, I am convinced all the more that we are living in the end of days, when such self-love and foolishness shall be prevalent.
For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.
How should a Christian behave? How does one who is Christian seek to achieve living a life that is holy just as God our Father is holy?
There are so many guides and books out there that purport to teach Christians to live Christian lives. Some go as far as to read and follow a non-Biblical book written by a man who obviously has no fear of nor respect for God in his heart called “The Purpose-Driven Life”.
Not surprisingly, many new “modern” churches that seek to please the feeler-seeker crowd adopt it wholesale into their curriculum. To them, Christian living is no longer about God first others second, me last, but me first with God as just a facilitator and dispenser of favors. They talk about giving to God so that they can receive many-fold returns on ‘investment’ (ROI). Then there’s all these new-fangled New Age teachings that are creeping into the churches like breathing exercises and so on.
Maybe some of you might be able to offer some advice here on this issue.
