Discuss Substance's answer to: Best Religion

Which religion should I convert to?

There can be no doubt whatever that the Devil is the motivating force behind the "New Age" movement. This seductive philosophy has lured millions of one-time Evangelicals and Catholics into its sticky trap, from which there seems to be no escape. Once a person has tasted total freedom and has gained 'permission' to construct his own reality at will, the idea of organized religion and the concept of any type of moral or ethical limitation is repugnant.

In short, the "New Age" movement is nothing more or less than ancient Paganism repackaged in a much more attractive and seductive format.

The True Nature of the "New Age" Movement.

    You too shall be as God; you surely shall never die.

                                                                      Satan speaking to Eve in Genesis 3:4-5.

The Bottom Line.

The true essence of the "New Age" movement can be summarized quite simply;

EVERYONE CAN CREATE THEIR OWN REALITY,
BECAUSE EVERYONE IS THEIR OWN GOD.

TRUTH Absolute is neither Old nor New....It simply IS >>> and is Timeless.   What you rant about above is simply jibberish and totally misses the Divine Subtlties that Jesus Revealed in HIS Non-dual Secret Teachings... to those few who were spiritually mature enough to recieve them.                   I guarantee that if asked if one THINKS they are READY to Awaken spiritually....all ego veiled minds WILL agree that they are.... which is why Grace decides WHEN the veiled and finite mind Awakens   and not the finite mind.

Dear Friends;

There is a lot of talk about the devil, but is there a "devil"?

I am posting an excerpt from a Jewish website, which may help on this.

>>> 

IN SHORT... For Jews, anything that even remotely conflicts with the idea that Gd is One and Indivisible will be rejected out of hand because it precludes true pure monotheism. The idea that there is a Gd in heaven above who fights against a god of the underworld, or of hell, is not monotheism. It is, however, the same duality found in other pagan faiths. The Bible speaks of a character known as The Satan, who acts like a prosecuting attorney, or a district attorney, in Gd's court. However, The Satan has no power or authority in and of himself, rather he must get permission from the Judge, Gd, to do anything.<<<

So is there anything to fear, if G-d is in your corner? Not if for you, it is only G-d; however you may perceived Him.

Shalom;

Yechiel

Great web find Yechiel.  If one fills themselves up to the brim and even "running over" with God, there is no room for any satan to enter.  If we concentrate on what is of God, and allow Him to fill us with whatever Grace and Divine Love is ours, it is laughable to think that an evil spirit can enter our hearts and minds.  If we keep ourselves filled with God and acknowledge His Presence both within and without....satan(negativism) is squelched, over and over and over.

FR: Great post Yechiel. I have always felt the concept of the devil, or satan to be one of those "new agey" things. : )
This is not to suggest that "Hells" and "Heavens" do not have a certain, albeit temporary,experiential reality to them. The finite, subjective mind is a very powerful tool of creation and can as easily send one to Heaven as to Hell in a hand basket.
For one who has fully Realized that Divine State as their constant reality .. for such a One "Heaven" exists wherever they are. One such as Jesus could easily sit in any hell of the mind's making and never be effected by it... because they have conquered the 'false' ego...which is the cause of all suffering.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* (and no, Jesus did not suffer on the cross... since AS the Christ He would have been totally free of the 'false' ego.. the cause of all suffering..... RATHER.... The Grace Bestower MIRRORS back to those being set free ... their OWN suffering... to be witnessed while being lifted.
IF Jesus were to actually suffer Himself then He would still be under the influence of the 'false' ego and so could NOT even Realize His own Godhood. The Christians can't have it both ways here .. Either He Realized He was The Christ and did NOT suffer.. OR he did not Realize he was The Christ and so DID suffer. )
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In fact... the level of Divine "Light" such a One brings to the Darkness can be enough to free those there from their own self imposed hells.
Unfortunately... some minds are SO attached to their guilt and suffering that they remain stuck there.... and all The Divine can do is patiently continue to offer "Light" to these suffering souls... but the amount of "Light" these souls can tolerate is typically very low... so it can take a while.
One's bad karma is NOT a punishment... it is simply Cause and Effect. What we sow we reap... that is all karma is. No Devil needed, no "judgmental God model" needed. Anyone who has actually MET "God" realizes immediately that there is no Judgment in that Most Divine ONE at all. Unconditional Love is... Unconditional. : )

Dear Friends;

In our respective faiths, there are two separate theologies. However, both strive towards the same objective; harmony with a G-d centered world, where the demons we make become nun-manufacturable because there is no room nor time.

However, there is the other side of this coin; where those who seek power will use our openness to accept a demon in the environment. Here, people of the wrong type or race are portrayed is evil. The solution is to remember and practice that you and I are human, as well as the other billions of humans in the world. When someone lefts the ugly head of prejudice, turn our back on them and continue to G-d. If this had been done a lot more in the past, much of the horror of the last couple of centuries would have been avoided. One example I saw in the last hour are 6 videos where Oprah and Eli Wiesel  went through Auschwitz. I blame those who use hatred and bigotry for these crimes. We, the People who believe in G-d, united for Him and not pointing fingers at the "wrong" version of me can prevent future horrors. If we are true to Him.

Shalom;

Yechiel

I predict that by Robertson posting all s/he is posting regarding "new age" that thousands who knew nothing about this "new" aspect of philosophy will now be inspired to delve deeper into it and perhaps be converted to this movement.  Robertson has certainly done a lot to educate all of us in this regard.  But, I doubt if that was her/his original intent.  lolLaughing

 
Apocalypse

As been said by others on here that know the truth of Gods word through Jesus Christ,,.. jameslee's,  faith, philosophy of the  new age movement  is nothing more or less than ancient Paganism, satanism, repackaged in a much more attractive and seductive format.

The True Nature of the "New Age" Movement is of satan the false god, the false christ, the anti-Christ. It is of of the goal of jameslee, faith njoy to cause people to rebel against the true Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ of the Bible

  

The Bottom Line.,they believe satans lie "You too shall be as God; you surely shall never die..
Satan speaking to Eve in Genesis 3:4-5.


THEY BELIEVE EVERYONE CAN CREATE THEIR OWN REALITY,
BECAUSE EVERYONE IS THEIR OWN GOD.

Another satanic lying response, from a child of satan, one out of touch with Jesus Christ the Lord God Almighty.jameslee  has nothing to say with biblical substance, just more lies conjured up from his deceived new age mind. jameslee and his false new age gospel of self truly are a projection of who his god is.(satan). jameslee is not for The Lord God almighty, Jesus Christ of the bible and does not belong on this blog.
