Subject: Christian Response To Eastern Thought? |
Bible Note: Dear Jensen, Greetings in the name of Jesus! Friend, please do not misunderstand me. I do not preach ignorance of cults. I am saying that merely becoming expert in them will not make you able to battle against them. Apologetics is the ability to accurately portray your faith in Christ Jesus, not the study of other religions. That is a peripheral study. Fear not for empty shelf space at the local Christian book store. :-) By the way, I do speak from some experience. I have been involved in Eastern cults myself, before Christ, and know first-hand (close up and personal) about ki, ki-ai, aikido and bushido. Knowing about these things may give me some insight into the heart of the deceived, but it is the Word of God that convicts someone to abandon these practices. Truly, it would be much easier if my knowledge of such things would help my ministry. I could just 'subdue' them unto Jesus! :-) Peace to you in Christ Jesus, charis |
