What are some of the common emphases of the New Age movement? Is it really new or is it, in actuality, as old as Genesis 3, when Satan deceived man into believing he could become as God by his own efforts? --Hank | ||||||

The New Age Movement is a movement of people based on a complex system of beliefs which supposedly will: Save the planet Change the world into a perfect utopian society Usher in the Age of Aquarius and the Christ The main concept is self worship, that man is the center of all things. It believes in the furtherance of humanity based on what man can do for himself. It teaches you to look INSIDE yourself for enlightenment, wisdom, and power. Man think's he's his own god and that God is whatever you make him to be. Unfortunetly the New Age Movement is the most powerful social force in the country today. The New Age Movement changes or ignores historical facts or data that can or will interfere with the achievement of a goal. They believe that the end justifies the means. "If I am a god how can I be wrong". They believe in having "spiritual experiences" without the cost of repentence of that sin. It is a anti-Christ system based on contact from the spirit worker. Humanism plus spiritualism equals New Age. They do not believe that there is a need to be reconciled with God. They believe that you are not born a sinner and that we are one with God, we are a expression of the God spirit. They believe that you can make the bible say anything you want it to say and the accurate guideline is to ask yourself. There are many different holy books that I will not name but each one is considered a different spiritual path. The 5 major New Age Doctriunes are from Gen 3:1-5: 1) The first seonce, or speaking through another, in history. Satan spoke through the snake in the garden. This was also the birthplace of the occult and the first contact with the spirit realm or transmeditation. 2) Verse 4 also talks about reincarnation, "surely not die". 3) "eyes will be opened"; works equals salvation and God's love. If you can do this your eyes will be opened. 4) Oaths, secret rituals, and societies are to be used. God kept the knowledge of good and evil from us so some things need to be secret. 5) "be like God" - tells us that we can be like God. In bible prophecy they believe in a one world religion, the New World Order and in no national barriers. They believe the real new age is the millenial reign with Jesus. On life they believe we are here to serve and worship Mother Earth - which I understand is one of Al Gore's teachings. They believe that we will come back again and again and again until we get it right. PLEASE NOTE: This information came from a workshop I attended given by Eric Barger of Take A Stand Ministries. It does not focus on any one particular "denomination" but on all in general. |
