Both Christians with a conservative and liberal outlook will benefit from reading False Dawn, by Lee Penn - a book that really makes it clear that the world is in the grips of an age old battle between good and evil.

To the conservative, regardless of their amount of exposure to the depths of anti-evolutionary ideas out there, will see nothing else in this book than what reinforces their suspicions of a modern world that is particularly unchristian. And to the liberal, they may be surprised to find that many of their ideas about what constitutes a spiritual life have been influenced by this anti-spiritual society.

It is mostly to the latter that this thread is directed, in the hope that innocent and well meaning people may catch a glimpse of the directed effort by certain quarters in the world to corrupt religion and its followers. If nothing else, it is hoped that liberals will see that the new age ideas they've accepted as being Christian are in fact just the opposite, and will eventually conclude that they were duped into calling their weaknesses their strengths.

I do not wish to be morose or offensive, but to simply explain the truth as it exists; which is to say that Christianity worships the Holy Trinity and is against every kind of vice, whereas the new age presence in the world clearly does not and is not, despite the fools gold it presents to us all in the form of polished appearances only

If I understand your post right your basically saying new age christians who have more liberal views are actually in the wrong with those views?

If so then I agree. I'm in my 30s and the younger folks who are christian do alot of what the bible is against. But they see their views a Christlike and normal and say our views of the older generations are wrong. Sadly its how the world works.As times change, so do views and those views influence new generations of Christians. Like many of the hot topics todays no christian would have accepted as ok 60 years ago.

Here is one thing - let's call it a principle - that i've learned and which provides me with an infallible basis from which to distinguish between Godly influences and ungodly: God is the infinite, the uncreated and the unchanging. In honour of this, His religion on earth must also be unchanging - i.e. unaffected by the sands of time or by the fickle nature of purely human tastes and trends. This idea of a religion changing drastically with the times in order to cater to the whims of people is therefore suspicious. It is true that Christianity has adapted at times, and yet there is, in the end, only so far it can go before it becomes ungodly. Probably the furthest it was able to adapt was quite some time ago, and so it remains after that point the responsibility of Christians changing their lives to adapt to it. This, however, hasn't happened in many respects - the implication being that God is here to serve us and not vice versa.

Many might say that an unchanging religion and culture is static, and yet the correct view of this is that it is stable. God provides Christians with stability - the rock - and not the house built on the sand. People enamoured with change and innovation etc. have unfortunately succumb to the influences of the antichristian new age.

Do you believe everything you read in books, or just the books you agree with?

If you are explaining the truth as you state, you should be able to demonstrate this truth, with reliable evidence and not just opinion.

Some new agers believe that "Christ" is not a unique person, but a kind of spiritual condition we can all achieve,.

Can't Christ be a unique person that leads to a spiritual condition? Why the desire to make him not a unique person?

I don't know too many details I just read a book on the masonic/theosophists and their construction of Krishnamurti as the (or a) new Christ.

Or the book he's promoting with his brand new account, in violation of the site's rules I believe...
Dude uploaded his book on his own homepage, easily reachable via google. Just type the author name and the book title and it's the first result.

Genius marketing.

That is one of the lies of the New Age movement - that anyone can attain to being a Christ.
