Kabbalah Satanic?

[LittleQin]

Many Christians believe that the Kabbalah is an entirely Satanic and new age philosophy. But it is actually a form of advanced Judaism and requires extensive knowledge of the bible ~ especially of the old testament.

It is not recommended for those under 40 years of age. (I do not study Kabbalah because of this - at the time of this writing I am only 22 years of age - need to gain allot of wisdom)

It has been said that the bible is 'written' in Kabbalah, and that each time the religious scholar reads they gain more wisdom and respect for the God and his creation.

Now I am not talking about things like the Kabbalah Centre. Those groups are just a mix of things. The Kabbalah I speak of is entirely Abrahamic.

I am curious about what the members of this forum think about Kabbalah, and if anyone practices it.

Kabbalah is the Jewish form of gnosticism: Gnosticism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In what way would you involve yourself with something like that and still think it appropriate to wear the Christian lapel pin?

Why you ask? To learn more about the world!

So Kabbalists seek to become gods themselves?

Learning about something and embracing it are 2 different things. Which are you after?

No, I don't think that is part of gnosticism. It's more the idea that material things are evil, and only spiritual things are good. But the divine is distant and unknowable unless one attains a special spiritual knowledge.

Sometimes it's hard to distinguish gnosticism, mysticism, and deism.

Why do you ask? Do you want to be a god?

Interesting. the Bible says that God made all things good. So Gnosticism cannot be right.

I do not want to be a God. Logically there is no need for another God. One God is perfection. My goal is greater wisdom and purity, not godhood.

Hence, I would ditch Kabbalah if I were you.

Good. Nothing wrong with that.
