Two Questions for New Agers

While wandering through a New Age Mind, Body, Spirit Expo in the Chicago area, I stopped at an angel channeler’s booth. She was one of the keynote speakers at the event. I asked how she knew if the angels she channeled were good or evil? She happily responded they are all good because there simply is no evil – we are all one. (Just how blind must one be to look around this world and deny there is any evil?) I then asked if she was a pantheist and was told she was.

So, I posed two questions. First, was Jesus God? The obvious answer from her was yes since everything is god. I noted that elevating all creation to godhood appears to give everything a lofty status. So, my second question was; If everything is god— the rocks are god, the trees are god, the display table is god, AND what my cat left in the litter box this morning is god, wouldn’t that tend to debase that lofty status, and more importantly, debase the status of Jesus? She was not happy with my question but was committed to her belief system. It offered her prestige in the world of New Age angel channeling, and rather than rethinking her path, and she turned away. Jesus as the one true God was not an idea she was willing to consider. Yet, where there is life, there is hope for her – and the others mentioned as well. No one who repents and comes to the Father through the real Jesus will be turned away.

The wide road to destruction is indeed made up of many paths, but they will arrive at the wrong place every time. Jesus is the One Way to salvation and peace with God. Believe Him when He tells us Who He is. He is fully man and fully God. He is one with the Father (and the Spirit) as the ONLY God. Take the narrow road – it leads to life eternal.
