New Spirituality on Popular Talk Show

The Queen of Talkshow tells her audience, "I am a Christian."

Friends, do not be deceived. The Jesus she speaks of is NOT the Lord Jesus Christ of the Bible. The Lord Jesus Christ of the Bible came to die upon a cross and pay the penalty for our sins--a debt we could never pay because the payment required was a perfect, sinless Lamb--Jesus Christ who was both man and God was the only One who could fulfill the payment in full--He is the Lamb of God and is now exalted and seated at the right hand of the Father. So, by Jesus's shed blood, we can have the forgiveness of sins and not receive the punishment we deserve, which is eternal separation from God in Hell--a real, literal, hell--the lake of fire. Because Jesus paid the price for our sins by shedding his blood on the cross, we can now have forgiveness for sin. But in order to have our sins forgiven, we must accept His payment, we must believe in Him and the words He spoke. And the Father showed his approval of his Son's sacrifice when he raised his Son from the dead. This showed Jesus was indeed fully God and fully man. We must believe Jesus is the only way to the Father, which is the words He spoke!

--She says that there are many ways to God. Jesus said there is only One Way--through Himself and through Himself alone!

Don't be deceived. One cannot both believe Jesus is the only Way and also believe that there is more than one way to God. One cannot believe what the Bible teaches, which is that there is a literal Heaven and Hell and that we should be concerned with eternity and then also believe the new spirituality that teaches not to be concerned about the future or death because all that matter is now, the present moment and nothing else.

Do not fall for the lie that you can believe this spirituality taught be this talk show host and also be a Christian. This is impossible. There is no reconciliation between Christian doctrine and this 'new spirituality' preached by Oprah and friends.

What fellowship can light have with darkness or what concord hath Christ with Belial??

None.

Rob Bell quotes, Mandella quotes, New Age quotes.....all unbiblical quotes

So, I just read this quote by Rob Bell........where he claims he is quoting Nelson Mandella....but the nearly identical quote appears in New Age leader Marianne Williamson's book.....

But regardless if it came from Marianne Williamson or Nelson Mandella....the message in the quote itself is what's most disheartening. These quotes (by Bell, Williamson, and Mandella) says that there is greatness and power and glory that resides in every human being.

Read these 2 nearly identical quotes here.

This is simply not what the Bible says. The Bible says there is nothing good in our flesh (Romans 7), and Paul describes himself as a wretched man. The Bible says that there is none who does good, not one (Psalm 14), and that there is none who is righteous (Romans 3). The only One who is righteous and great and deserves all the glory is the One who gave His life as a ransom for many. And HIS POWER (not mine) is made perfect in WEAKNESS (2 Corinthians 12).

"Shifts" and The Moses Code Movie

I just read another really good post about the many "shifts" that are occurring around the world today. This "shift" word is being thrown around many circles--new age circles, emerging church circles, Willow Creek Community Church Conferences, Brian McLaren, Leonard Sweet, etc. etc. So, what is all this "shifting" about anyway? Where does it all seem to be heading?

Bob from Shofar Ministries has written an excellent post about the similarities between New Age Talk and Emergent Talk. I highly recommend you read Bob's article, which also touches on the blasphemous Moses Code movie, based on the Law of Attraction, that will be released in April.

At the end of one of the clips for this movie, a man looks into the camera and blasphemously states that "I am the way the truth and the life". Watch that clip here.

****NOTE***The previous clip has since been removed from Youtube, but I will try to locate it on another website******

Watch the movie trailer for the Moses Code here at its official website.

There is another post about the Moses Code from more books and things here.

And if you are really interested in this, here is another post about the Big Shift and the Moses Code from Christian Worldview Network

There is a major, deceptive "shift" underway. The question is, will you be swept away with it?

Nooma Examined-Faith in Ourself or Faith in Jesus?

Today I came across this video of a pastor's critique of Nooma and exposing some of the false teaching in it. I am not saying Rob Bell is not a Christian, but I am saying that we do need to test what we hear and see if it lines up with what the Bible says.

20 Do not despise prophecies. 21 Test all things; hold fast what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil. 1 Thessalonians 5:20-22

We need to be careful who we receive spiritual direction from. This short clip is excellent, and if you are into Nooma, you HAVE to watch this---it shows a clip of a Nooma video, and then a pastor speaks briefly about why some of the teaching is unbiblical. To give you an idea of what I'm talking about. Rob Bell suggests that when Peter went to meet Jesus on the water and started sinking, it was not because Peter doubted Jesus, but because Peter lacked faith in himself. I hope you see what's wrong with that idea....but if you don't, or are curious, watch this video.

9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
