Bible Quotes |
4
"You will not surely die," the
serpent said to the woman.
5 "For God knows that when
you eat of it your eyes will be
opened, and you will be like God,
knowing good and evil."
(Genesis 3:4,5) NIV
6 "I said, 'You are "gods";
you are all sons of the Most
High.'
7 But you will die like mere
men; you will fall like every
other ruler."
(Psalm 82:6,7) NIV
For there shall arise false
Christs, and false prophets, and
shall shew great signs and
wonders; insomuch that, if it were
possible, they shall deceive the
very elect.
(Matthew 24:24)
KJV
For false Christs and false
prophets will appear and perform
signs and miracles to deceive the
elect—if that were possible.
(Mark 13:22)
Jesus answered them, "Is it not
written in your Law, 'I have said
you are gods'?
(John
10:34) NIV
In my Father's house are
many mansions: if it were not so,
I would have told you. I go to
prepare a place for you.
(John 14:2)
KJV
Verily, verily, I say
unto you, He that believeth on me,
the works that I do shall he do
also; and greater works than these
shall he do; because I go unto my
Father.
(John 14:12)
KJV
A man reaps what he sows.
(Galatians 6:7b) NIV
6And now you know what is
holding him back, so that he may
be revealed at the proper time.
7For the secret power of
lawlessness is already at work;
but the one who now holds it back
will continue to do so till he is
taken out of the way.
8And then the lawless one
will be revealed, whom the Lord
Jesus will overthrow with the
breath of his mouth and destroy by
the splendor of his coming.
9The coming of the lawless
one will be in accordance with the
work of Satan displayed in all
kinds of counterfeit miracles,
signs and wonders,
10and in every sort of evil
that deceives those who are
perishing. They perish because
they refused to love the truth and
so be saved.
11For this reason God sends
them a powerful delusion so that
they will believe the lie
12and so that all will be
condemned who have not believed
the truth but have delighted in
wickedness.
(2 Thessalonians 2:6-12) NIV
1Dear
friends, do not believe every
spirit, but test the spirits to
see whether they are from God,
because many false prophets have
gone out into the world.
2This is how you can
recognize the Spirit of God: Every
spirit that acknowledges that
Jesus Christ has come in the flesh
is from God,
3but every spirit that does
not acknowledge Jesus is not from
God. This is the spirit of the
antichrist, which you have heard
is coming and even now is already
in the world.
(1 John 4:1-3) NIV |

New Age Doctrines |
Pantheism. This doctrine believes that "All is God" or "God is All." This allows all individuals to become God themselves, once they realize the potential within them. Even beyond this point is the idea that natural objects such as rocks and trees are, too, God within themselves.
God.
An impersonal energy force, immanent in all things. To the New Age, "god" can be referred to either as she or he, mother or father, god or goddess. Most New Age teachers hold that Mother Earth, the sun, the moon, and the stars - indeed all of nature - can be worshipped as "god."
Jesus Christ.
Christ: A reincarnated avatar, Messiah, or messenger sent from the "hierarchy" to give the living on earth spiritually advanced revelation. The New Age contends that Buddha, Mohammed, Confucius, Jesus, and many others were "christs," but one greater than all of them will soon come to usher in the New Age. To the Christian, this coming New Age "christ" is, in fact, the Antichrist.
Man, Sin, Salvation. In this belief, each person is God; therefore, sin has no place in the theological framework, and salvation is found only when one realizes that everything is within.
Reincarnation. The meaning behind this word is "again in flash." New Agers believe that they will continue to be reincarnated until they have the right "karma" or have lived correctly. It is only at this point that they find their perfect peace.
Spirit Channeling. The idea behind this is to allow the spirits to overtake one's body and speak through them. This teaching is prevalent in the movement. This is where the occult really begins to enter New Age practice, eventually leading to other routines such as trances and clairvoyance.
Angels: More frequently called "Ascended Masters, masters of Wisdom, Ancient masters, spirit guides, inner guides, spirit counsellors, one's Higher Self, the Self, Superbeings, aeons, muses or walkins." Collectively called the "hierarchy." Whichever term is used, the discerning Christian will recognize these shadowy entities not as "angels", but as demons.
Born Again (Rebirth): Personal or Planetary transformation and healing. The point at which a New Age believer "lets go" and allows his Higher Self or Inner Guide (translated: demons) to guide and direct his life. Some New Agers describe this as Kundalini, a Hindu term meaning "serpent power."
The Second coming: It is claimed that at the Second Coming a New Age believer achieves "christ consciousness," an exalted, higher state in which he is spiritually transformed into a divine being. This phrase also can mean the appearance on earth of the New Age messiah, or "christ." and his hierarchy of demons.
Heaven/Kingdom of God: The New Age, or Aquarian Age, is expected to be the era when heaven and the Kingdom of God are realized on earth. The reincarnated "christ" (the Antichrist) is to reign over the new Age, bringing in a One World Religion and consolidating all nations into a Global New World Order or one monolithic government.
Hell:
New Agers deny the existence of
hell and a judgement. Hell
is not a place but an experience
here on Earth; it is a state of
mind.
They also
deny that sin and evil exist. God
is alleged to be beyond good and
evil. 9-11

Quotes from New Age Sources |
"I am an entity much like you,
Barbara. I simply don't have a
body at this time."
It was Dr. Carstairs talking. Dr.
Carstairs is an English physician
from the 1860's. His spirit
generally spends its time floating
around the astral plane, I am
told, but at this particular
moment it had taken up residence
in the Body of Bonney Meyer, a
registered nurse from San Diego.
(The San Diego Union, Their
spirits are willing, Section C.
pg. 1 Nov. 12, 1987.)
There
are many entities about such as
myself. Man is not the only
living, thinking, breathing
creature in the galaxy. Entities
that come from other planets right
now are about your planet waiting
for the time to introduce
themselves. (The San Diego
Union, Their spirits are willing,
Section C. pg. 1 Nov. 12, 1987.)
Shirley Maclaine said, "We are
at any given moment living the
totality of everything....The
vibrational oscillation of nature
is quickening....Just remember
that you are God, and act
accordingly."
T.I.C.'s (The Inner Christ)
purpose is to assist every
individual to know themselves as a
Christ, to clearly and safely
channel guidance and prophecy for
themselves from their own Inner
Christ and to gain dominion over
their life circumstances through
prayer and self-revelation. T.I.C.
makes the intellectual concept
that we are God a reality.
(From a tract from the Teaching of
the Inner Christ, What is T.I.C.?)
Representatives of some of the
nation's largest corporations,
including I.B.M., A.T.&T., and
General Motors, met in New Mexico
in July [1986] to discuss how
metaphysics, the occult and Hindu
mysticism might help executives
compete in the world marketplace.
(The New York Times, Spiritual
Concepts Drawing a Different Breed
of Adherent. Section Y page 8.
Sept. 29, 1986.)
At Stanford University's
well-regarded Graduate School of
Business, the syllabus for a
seminar on "Creativity in
Business" includes meditation,
chanting, "dream work," the use of
tarot cards and discussion of the
"New Age Capitalist." (The New
York Times, Spiritual Concepts
Drawing a Different Breed of
Adherent. Section Y page 8. Sept.
29, 1986.)
One concept commonly
transmitted in these sessions
[seminars and workshops on human
potential]...is that because man
is a deity equal to God he can do
no wrong; thus, there is no sin,
no reason for guilt in life.
(The New York Times, Spiritual
Concepts Drawing a Different Breed
of Adherent. Section Y page 8.
Sept. 29, 1986.)
The Pleiadians are a collective
of extraterrestrials from the star
system the Pleiades. The Pleiadian
culture is ancient and was
‘seeded' from another universe of
love long before earth was
created. They have formed a
tremendous society which operates
with love, with ideas and ideals
with which we are yet unfamiliar.
Although the Pleiadians exist in
what we would call our future,
they call themselves our ancient
family because many of us came
here from the Pleiades to
participate in the experiment of
earth. As they once promised us,
the Pleiadians have returned to
earth and are now here to help
guide us during this time of
planetary awakening as earth moves
through her transition from the
third to the fourth dimension and
to assist each of us in our
personal journeys of remembering,
deepening awareness and knowing.
(From a handout at the San
Diego Convention Center, The
Pleiadians, Channeled by Barbara
J. Marciniak)
The New Age?
It's just the old age stuck in a
microwave oven for fifteen
seconds.
-- James Randi
(Observer, April
1991)13
