Some things to think about...
 
In Search of the Spiritual
by Jerry Adler
(A Newsweek Article about American Spirituality)
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9024914/site/newsweek/
 
And an article reflecting on the Newsweek poll...
 
The Pearly Gates Are Wide Open
 
I think it's essential for us to get some grasp of the cultural milieu in which we live.
 
Let's discuss these!


To all heresy-hunters and general lames...

In The Pearly Gates Are Wide Open by Steven Waldman he starts off by saying , "One of the central tenets of evangelical Christianity is that to be saved—to earn admission into heaven—you must accept Jesus Christ as your savior." .

??????? —to earn admission into heaven— ???????? This is why I do what I do ? earn????

peace, don


The world's perfect, wouldn't change a thing.

Hey Meph,

I read those articles and it gave me a good and bad feeling. I know your all for the universalism idea, but that was one of the bad feelings I got out of those articles. Sure, there are good people that are not Christians but that is not what God wants or wills. An occultist, I’ll name him Seth, may help old ladies cross the street everyday, but that doesn’t mean he’ll go to heaven. God to me seems to be very specific. He has a specific will, people, and son, and they all serve a specific purpose. Using Seth for an example that worships Odin, seems to me, not solely worshiping God of the Jews, for which, seems to me, not to be God’s will. God has people, and for some strange reason he has chosen the Jews. The Jews were chosen to be the example to follow in finding the true path to God. So Seth, who looks to the Aryan race for enlightenment, is not doing Gods will. Most importantly, God sent his son, in which, he had sacrificed in place of your sacrifice for your sins to be forgiven, and that son gave us a free pass to Heaven, specifically, because there is no other way, if we only believe in him. If you believe anything else, seems to me, trivializes the sacrifice Jesus Christ the savior made. He will come again to claim HIS people. Why did God send Jesus if you worship cattle and will go to Heaven? Doesn’t make sense. I say to you there will be A LOT of weeping and gnashing of teeth, because you never truly new him.

But the good thing is those articles prompted me to this one.

If you read Revelation, it talks about a universal occult religion, government, and monetary system. Like the occultist says in the article, “We will alleviate all the wars in the world and bring peace with one universal religion.” If you find the time and read the article you will notice how they mock THE ARCH OF THE COVENENT. You will notice there are a lot of high stature people who attended these summits even the POPE and Mikhail Gorgachev.


If you’ve studied History of the Nazi Regime, Heinrich Hiemler and Josef Gobbles were occultists, including Hinduism (Hiemler, though he was an influential German King reincarnate.) They incorporated everything into their impending global dominating occultist view of universalism including mystics, astrology and Teutonics, except the truth.

Amen
