1 | Christian Response To Eastern Thought? | Is 55:11 | Jensen | 29952 | ||
Dear Forum participants….I seek your help. An old friend of mine has been taken in by the Fulun Gong (Fulan Dafa, Falan Gong) movement here in the U.S. and I must find Christian critiques of this movement. (Why are Americans so intrigued by Eastern thought?) For the past few months I have searched the web and have come up empty. I chiefly find articles on Chinese repression of the sect. I should add that I have been to the FG web site and followed its’ links so I pretty much understand what they believe and, like other cults, that they are/will be gods some day. I have read their official guide to an introduction as well as the “masters” pronouncements. They are a crafty bunch!! There is much more of course and perhaps I will have to arrange my own doctrine by doctrine, point by point, response but any help you can provide will be much appreciated. I have only made headway from the Creation perspective. I have tried all the Christian resources I know of and have come up empty. The Americans who join the sect deny Jesus in the main, I suspect, as a refutation of their parents beliefs. Help nip this thing in the bud if you can. God Bless….Jensen |

Try this: http://www.equip.org/free/DF450.htm And also try this: The Bible. As someone who has spent many years studying the cults, I can tell you that knowing God's Word and speaking God's Word and applying the truths of Christian theology in evangelizing cultists is the most effective way to do it. Why? Because the Holy Spirit works primarily through the proclamation of His Scripture. Rather than scouring their doctrines inside and out (which is probably worthwhile, but your friend may not know as intimately as it seems), converse with him and meet what he says head on with God's truth. Let us know if there is any other advice/encouragement/prayer that we can give you. --Joe! |

Sorry Joe......Staple as an adjective would mean PRINCIPAL or CHIEF and Resource as you know is A SOURCE OF INFORMATION or EXPERTISE. A staple resource would be a usual source of information. The place where I look regularly and go to most of the time is the site equip.org. But nothing there about the Falan Daffa. Aka Fulan Gong. God Bless....Jensen |

Did you miss the link, Jensen? The URL I posted links directly to an article from CRI commenting on Falun Gong. Go back and paste it into your browser, and I am sure you will find it helpful. --Joe! |
