Why "New Age" is really just old lies

It breaks my heart to see so many well-meaning people with good intentions (particularly those of my generation, the Boomers) falling for the pack of 6,000-year-old lies known as the "New Age" movement.

Here are the Big 2 Lies that the serpent in the Garden of Eden used to tempt Eve...and how they are used today as part of the unGodly "New Age" movement, which is designed to separate people from God so that they will burn in hell:

1. "And the serpent said to the woman, 'You shall surely not die!'" --Genesis 3:4, New American Standard Bible (NASB). This was in response to Eve informing the serpent that she and Adam could eat from all of the trees in the Garden except one...and that God had told them that if they ate from a certain tree in the middle of the Garden, they would die. Sadly for us all, Eve believed the serpent's lie, she ate, she got Adam to eat...and you don't see her around today, do you? Nor Adam, either--THEY DIED, despite the serpent telling them they wouldn't.

The "New Age" version of this lie is, of course, reincarnation and karma. Neither of those is real. The only way to achieve eternal life and not die it through faith in Christ Jesus as the Messiah of God. And karma? Give me a break! It's basically work-based salvation...more on that later...which is highly appealing to our basic sense of fairness, but it's simply not of God.

And if it's not of God...that only leaves the other guy. You know the one.

2. "For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil,"--Genesis 3:5, NASB. This here's the serpent telling Eve that she and Adam could achive godlike status, that they could be little gods. Sound familiar?

Actress Shirley McClaine had a bit TV show back in 1987 called "Out on a Limb," in which her New Age coach had her standing on a beach, throwing her arms upwards, and screaming, "I am God!" I would not want to have been standing next to her at the time.

"New Age" teaches that we can all be god, that we have god within us. Sounds great and it sucks a lot of poor souls in...but it is simply not true. It's a lie as old as the Garden of Eden.

Listen to me, New Agers-aren't you just a bit embarrassed to be falling for lies that are 6,000 years old?

This isn't even anything NEW...I have no idea why they call it "NEW Age," except that Alice Bailey wanted to toss in one more lie...more on her and the origins of the "New Age" heresy and blasphemy later on...


If YOU are a New Ager, you need to repent, give it up, and pray to God, telling Him you're sorry for your sins and your unbelief. Open your heart to Him, trust what He says, and read His Word in the Bible. Then you will REALLY have eternal life, and you can be with God eternally!

Do this NOW!
