My Response To A New Age Girlfriend

I'm not one to preach or lecture, and I know where your belief system is as you've explained it me. . .forgive me, but it's in my heart to talk about this with you. . .

I know New Age. I even know a little bit of pretty much every spiritual world out there. . .Hindu, Muslim, Catholic, Witchcraft. . .because I've studied them or lived them. I always knew there was more to the story and I've been on a spiritual quest for some time. . probably since around the age of 8. ha ha.

I don't believe in legalism in any church i.e. condemnation (gay people suck! Never drink or else!) or that theory that we have to remain perfect in this life to get to the other, (the Kingdom of Heaven) and GOD FORBID you sin. . .that's just not acceptable. My response: Welcome to the world of humans. You're going to sin. . .it's inevitable. Adam started it all off. . .

(This legalistic theory a/k/a SCARY theory of God provokes some serious verbal outbursts from myself. It even got me kicked out of a Bible study or two!) I believe that we live now in the Kingdom of God, as does my church. We seek and acknowledge God to keep us on the right path so to speak. Jesus is the mediator between us and the Father, and we worship and praise Him for being in our lives, and how he teaches us to live on this earth. The Now Kingdom of Heaven.

The Holy Spirit, well, when you tap into that feeling. . .You know how you'll do a powerful meditation, and probably Reiki, and you feel that feeling. . .multiply that by 100 and then hear or see or dream or vision answers or prophecies. I still have the occasional drink to two, I'm getting divorced, some of my best friends and brother are gay. That's life, and that's between me and God, or them and God.

Do I think that Reiki or crystals are evil? Absolutely not! But, I do believe you're close to the Kingdom of God. Once you get the power of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, you have the ultimate power.

I see that New Agers will believe in Reiki and Crystals for power. I know that Catholics will pray to and worship Saints. Why bother if you have the ultimate source, God?

Jesus is the Ascending Master? Doesn't that tell you anything? My usual response to that one is . . . DUH! (Not to you though!)The Bible has more New Age verses than any book you can drum up. If you ever want one, or a few, let me know.

Love ya.
