Topic | New Age Commentary | God's Word | Belief in God | There are many gods. It benefits men to believe in all of them. | Isaiah 43:10 "Before Me there was no God for man, and there will be none after Me. I, even I, am the Lord, and there is no savior besides Me | Christ | Christ is God made man; the highest example of man. He is not the only example of God made man. Every man is God made man. | Jesus is God's only begotten Son; not a highly evolved man. John 8:23 Jesus said, "You are from below. I am from above. You are of this world, I am not of this world." John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life." | Fearing God | Fearing God paralyzes people in their relationship with God…People who do not fear God are the ones who will know him. | Fearing God is not a bad thing, but what leads to wisdom. Proverbs 8:10 explains… "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." | Forgiveness | God says he forgives because it is a phrase people relate to. In truth, God does not forgive because there is nothing to forgive. | Forgiveness by God is necessary. Sin is real and must be forgiven. Matthew 26:28 "For this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins." Hebrews 10:22 "Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins." | God | If God is in me, and I'm in God, then I'm God! | Romans 3:23 "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Isaiah 44:6 "Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of Hosts:" ‘I am the first and the last, and there is no God besides Me.' " | God's Fairness | God is cruel and unreasonable if He denies salvation to people just because they do not accept Jesus Christ. | The Lord is just. We can trust Him. Psalm 88:15 "The…Lord our God is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abundant in loving kindness and truth." 2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to salvation." | Guilt | There is no such thing as wrong. Guilt is a feeling that keeps you from being who you are meant to be. Never feel guilty | The Bible teaches there is such a thing as wrong. It is called sin. guilt accompanies sin. Jesus dealt with sin and guilt on the cross. Jesus is the remedy to sin and Guilt. James 2:10 "For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all." | Hell | There is not such thing as everlasting damnation. | Hell is as real as heaven is! Jesus taught, preached, and warned people about hell. Matthew 18:18 "It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than to have two hands or two feet and be cast into the eternal fire." | Hell, Death & Being Saved | Hell is fearing separation from God, which is impossible since God is one with the universe. Salvation is understanding oneness. All people are saved. No one needs to worry about what is going to happen to them after death." | The truth given by God and Jesus is John 8:24 "You will die in your sins, for unless you believe I (Jesus) am He, you will die in your sins. Proverbs 15:29 explains…"The Lord is far from the wicked, but "He hears the prayers of the righteous." A person either dies "in sin" or dies "in Christ." | Jesus | Jesus is a self-realized man. His spirit was not of this earth. All spirits are not "of this earth." all souls come from another realm, then enter the body. Yet not all souls self- realize in a particular lifetime. Jesus did. Jesus was a highly evolved being; which some call a god | Jesus is not a highly evolved being. He was with God at creation and is Savior of the world. Hebrews 1:1-2 "God,…has spoken to us in His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom He made the world. And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power." | Jesus and Salvation | God cannot require that people believe in Jesus for salvation. What about people who have never heard of Jesus? | Romans 1:20 "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, and being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse." John 14:6 "I am the way, and the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father but through me." | New Age Religion | There are those who say that the New Age movement is trafficking with the devil. But that cannot be true, for there is no devil. | "New Age Religion" is real, but not anything new. since the beginning of time the devil has tempted man to live apart from God. The devil is as real as God is! Revelation 20:10 "And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are also, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever." | Parenting & Children | The role of parenting one's children should be a choice, not an obligation. | Parenting is the privilege and responsibility of parents. Deuteronomy 6:5-7 "You shall love the Lord your God with all your soul and with all your might. These words which I am commanding you shall be on your hearts. You shall teach time diligently to your sons." | Peace | The formula for tranquility, peace, and joy is by thinking good thoughts and not dwelling on the negative. | Peace is more than how a person feels. It is a state of being reconciled to God through His Son, Jesus Christ, who shed His blood for our sins. Colossians 1:18-20 "for it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him (Jesus), and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven. | Prayer | Prayer, in reality, is thought control. Thought control is the highest form of prayer. It does not matter who you pray to. | Matthew 6:9" Pray then in this way, "Our Father Who art in heaven…" Ephesians 6:18 "With all prayers and petitions pray at all times in the Spirit." | Salvation of the Soul | The soul is lightness, freedom, peace, joy limitlessness, painless, perfect, wisdom and perfect love. | James 1:21 "Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness; in humility receive the Word implanted which is able to save your souls." | Satan/the Devil/Hell | Satan in an invention of man | Though people may refuse to acknowledge the reality of Satan and hell, it does not make either of them any less real. Revelation 20:10 "And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and false prophet are also, and they will be tormented day and night forever." There is a devil and hell!
| Second Chance After Death | Your questions will be answered after death. You will have a chance to decide what you wish to be, do, and have after you die | There are no second chances after death Hebrews 9:27 "it is appointed unto man once to die and after this the judgment." | Separation from God | There is no separation in God's world. | Matthew 25:31, 41 "But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels are with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne." "He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels, ' " | Sex | Play with life and sex. Mix the sacred with the sacrilegious. All is one. Continue to evolve. Enjoy life at a higher level. | God has a holy will for man regarding sex and his body. 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 "For this is the will of God, your sanctification, that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you know how to posses his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God." | Should and Should Not | There are no absolutes No "should" and "should not" | Exodus 20:1-17 You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself an idol. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Honor your father and your mother. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not murder. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness. You shall not covet. | Sin & Sinners | In truth, there is no such thing as a "sinner". No one can be sinned against; not even God. | Romans 3:23 God says " For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Ezekiel 18:4 "Behold, all souls are Mine (God's); the soul of the father as well as the son is Mine. The soul who sins will die." Romans 6:23 "The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." | Society | In an earlier part of history, society was matriarchal. Men existed to reproduce and move heavy objects. | The Bible says God created man in His image. God blessed man and gave him authority to rule over every living thing. Man was created to live in fellowship with his Creator. Genesis 1:26 "God said, ‘let us create man in our image, according to our likeness, and let them rule over the fish…and every creeping thing.'
