1 | Christian Response To Eastern Thought? | Is 55:11 | Jensen | 30266 | ||
Thank You...I have read most of your suggestions. Anything with a response to Fulan Gong specifically would help. None so far though. I may end up writing one myself :-) God Bless....Jensen |

2 | Christian Response To Eastern Thought? | Is 55:11 | charis | 30286 | ||
Dear Jensen, Greetings in Jesus' name! I hope that what I share is of some use to you: I heard a bit about Fulan Gong from a missionary that recently returned from mainland China (Beijing). According to him, this 'religion' is as much an organization of 'political activism' as anything else. The religious aspects seems to be made up to give some kind of legitimacy to their agenda to change the system from the status quo (at least in China). What they will change it to seems to be somewhat vague. I guess the only thing you could infer is that the leaders of the cult will be 'up there' somewhere. :-) Details are wanting because there are none! It seems to be a purposely vague 'everything ought to be better' religion that uses all kinds of stimuli. Included would be bodily health, world peace, (empty) philosophy of a mystical nature, and more than anything, disatisfaction with the present coupled with (idealistic) claims of an answer for a better future. As usual, the plan or agenda has little in the way of concrete methodology to attain this goal. Friend, I know this continues to be a bit shallow, but that is because Fulan Gong is so shallow. It doesn't even seem that their ways are a 'secret of the enlightened' either, like some cults. It is simply lack of content. Maybe this is what is so enticing? I pray that this will give you something to bring up to your friend. See if he has knowledge of any true 'depth' to this rather empty cult. As others have already noted, prayer on your part, and using the Word of God effectively are the best ways to battle with cultic influence. In Christ Jesus, charis |
