"Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see,
and ask for the old paths, where is the good way,
and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.
But they said, We will not walk therein."
~ Jeremiah 6:16 ~
Today's Christianity may be having a lot of fun in its new way of thinking and behaving, but this isn't a game. Eternal souls are at stake, and the departure from the faith is real. Jesus Christ is being presented as a way of relativism rather than as the way and the truth, and the faith is being presented as an ever-changing method or experience that can be inserted into any faith." (In the Name of Purpose, p. 385)
Simply
being a Christian does not automatically immunize us from deception.
Scripture's numerous warnings are meant to be heeded. If Christians
couldn't be deceived, then the Holy Spirit would be wrong about those
who will "depart from the faith" (see 1 Timothy 4:1).
Sadly,
this departure from the faith will be so great that the Lord Jesus
Christ asks us to consider whether He will actually find faith on the
earth when He returns (see Luke 18:8). Since Christians today are
trading in the truth of the faith for interfaith unity and are falling
for the false gospel of the (New Age) New Spirituality that says all
religions are equally valid paths to God, it's no wonder the Lord Jesus
Christ asked this.
The
universal religion with its spiritual transformation is not coming; it
is here. The Angel of light's kingdom is gathering together "all men of
peace" from "every world religion" "as the embodiment of the emerging
Kingdom of God on earth."* In this emerging interfaith kingdom there is:- "One Truth," yet many theologies;
- "One God," yet many paths;
- "One Church," yet many expressions; and
- "One Divine Life," yet many 'little Christs.'
"The religion of the future will be a general converging of religions in a universal Christ that will satisfy all ... In the end, it is hoped that the Christian will become a better Christian and each Hindu a better Hindu." —Jesuit theologian Father Jacques Dupuis, at the 2003 interfaith congress "The Future of God"*
"The Christ has no religious barriers in His consciousness. It matters not to Him of what faith a man may call himself." —Alice Bailey & Djwhal Khul*
"I happen to know people who are followers of Christ in other religions." —Rick Warren*
"He ['the Christ'] inaugurated the new era and ... the new world religion began to take form. The word 'religion' concerns relationship ..." —Alice Bailey & Djwhal Khul*
"I have known many people who believe in the Messiah of Jesus, regardless of what religion they are, because they believe in him. It's about a relationship, not a religion." —Rick Warren*
"The day is dawning when all religions win [sic] be regarded as emanating from one great spiritual source; all will be seen as unitedly providing the one root out of which the universal world religion will inevitably emerge. Then there will be neither Christian nor heathen, neither Jew nor Gentile, but simply one great body of believers, gathered out of all the current religions." —Alice Bailey & Djwhal Khul*
"I thought, you know where people are moving in they probably need new houses of worships, temples, and synagogues, and churches, and stuff like that." —Rick Warren* "The church is bigger than any organization in the world. Then you add in Muslims, you add in Hindus, you add in all the different religions, and you use those houses of worship as distribution centers, not just for spiritual care but health care." —Rick Warren*
"I could take you today to a million villages ... they got a church. Or they got a synagogue. They got something. They got a house of worship. The church is the biggest organization in the world.... And I came up with a thing called the P.E.A.C.E. Plan. When Jesus sent the disciples out, he said, 'When you go into a village, you find the man of peace.' Now this person doesn't have to be a Christian.... You find the person of peace, and then you begin to do the P.E.A.C.E. Plan ... Now why am I telling this to you? Because we're going public with it this next year in 2006.... And I believe it will change the world." —Rick Warren*
Yes, change is the order of the day.
Truth becomes the sacrifice:
-
when absolutism is out, and relativism is in;
- when obedience is out, and pragmatism is in;
- when teaching is out, and dialogue is in;
- when thus saith the Lord is out, and consensus of opinion is in;
- when using Scripture to judge right and wrong is out, and unity with tolerance at all costs is in;
- when the narrow way is out, and the broad way is in.
It used to be that faithfulness to God
turned the world upside down.
Now faithfulness to the world
is turning Christianity upside down.

"Reimagining" God:
Turning the Light off to Look for "Truth" in the Corner of a Dark Round Room
by Tamara Hartzell
From the Author's Note to the Reader:
Despite
the absurd belief that dispensing with the truth of God's inspired Word
is a move toward God, this way of thinking simply could not be any more
backward. This way of thinking has already moved today's Christianity
"forward" in its faith to the doctrines of devils found in the channeled
teachings of occultists and New Agers. And these same doctrines of
devils that are already embraced as "God's truth" in today's Christianity comprise the emerging faith that will bow down
to the devil's Antichrist and take his mark. Will you be one of them? I
pray not. This day is rapidly emerging on the horizon and will be here
much sooner than you think.
Many in today's Christianity are succumbing to the darkness of this new way of thinking. Many in today's Christianity are succumbing to the emerging faith of the Antichrist. Many in today's Christianity will bow down to the image of the beast and take his mark. That's right, in today's Christianity. Are you certain that you will not be one of them? How scriptural is your faith? Does your faith come from inside or outside the "box" of the Word of God?
The mission? Oneness. The path? Darkness. The door to it all? "Yea, hath God said ...?"
"And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." ~ 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 ~
"And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.... And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear." ~ Revelation 13:6, 8-9 ~
