GOD
New Age: God is an impersonal, amoral, creative evolutionary force within the universe.
Christianity: God is a moral, personal Being, who is the all-powerful, all-knowing, everywhere-present Creator of the universe.
CREATION
New Age: The universe has always existed as the material manifestation of the creative God-Force.
Christianity: God created the universe out of nothing; it is distinct from Himself.
MAN
New Age: Humans are the apex of earthly evolution, having unlimited potential, giving self-awareness to the Divine Force, and capable of guiding the universal process of evolution.
Christianity: Man was created by God in His image as a personal, rational, moral being.
REVELATION
New Age: We can mystically become aware of the divinity of all things, and we can experience union with the divine Life Force. "Guides" from other dimensions assist in this.
Christianity: God has revealed Himself through natural revelation (nature and conscience) and special revelation (theophanies, the prophets, the Scriptures, Jesus Christ).
JESUS CHRIST
New Age: He was an incomparable spiritual teacher who was aware of His deity and dedicated to helping each of us become aware of ours.
Christianity: He is the Son of God, the eternal second person of the Trinity, both God and man, and Redeemer of the human race and the universe.
SIN
New Age: Sin is a failure to recognize one's own deity. Both "good" and "evil" contribute to the evolution of consciousness, the Life Force.
Christianity: Sin is moral evil, a willful violation of God's absolute moral law.
SALVATION
New Age: Salvation is deliverance from fear and guilt through awareness of our own deity.
Christianity: Salvation is deliverance from the penalty and power of sin through faith in Jesus, whose death on the cross paid the penalty for sin.
JUDGMENT
New Age: Since evil and sin are illusory and no personal Judge exists, we will be purified through an endless series of reincarnations, attaining ever higher levels of consciousness.
Christianity: Believers will be rewarded in heaven according to their faithfulness, and nonbelievers will be punished in hell according to the degree of their rebellion against the Creator.
ANGELS
New Age: Angels in the biblical sense do not exist. However, there are many spiritual beings in the universe who are more highly developed than man and are eager to guide our spiritual evolution.
Christianity: Angels are spirit-beings, created by God. Some of them (Satan and his demons) rebelled against God and are enemies of Him and His creation. The rest remained faithful and continue to serve Him.
