Posted by Christine FloodThank you to Linda Harvey of Preparation America for right having me on her radio bill. We discussed a later than usual testimony that ran on Sola Sisters which sweeping a new untraditional teaching - "Christian Universalism" - that is somewhat honest fine hair today's church under names such as "the Wider Blessing Doctrine" and "Complete Reconciliation." We in addition discussed how this teaching has even become chief in Missions. "Christian Universalism" is existence qualified by very stylish and grand writers, teachers and pastors today, with them:LEONARD Syrupy (Jesus Manifesto) ROB Siren (Velvet Elvis, NOOMA videos) DALLAS WILLARD (The Travel of the Disciplines)WILLIAM P. Leafy (The Cast)I in addition momentarily gave my notation and discussed one of the significant reasons that we go into the Sola Sisters blog, which is that our extreme desire is to protect the spotlessness of the gospel. Formerly all, it is the gospel message that has the power to tighten your belt (Romans 1:16). Whichever of us who go into Sola Sisters were saved out of the New Age, and we view the New Age to be, in an assortment of ways, a very pungent "charlatan Christianity," which uses masses of out-of-context Scripture to "back up" its internal teaching. So in a eyeball, it can be argued that the New Age functions positively so a Christian cult (i.e., Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists, etc.).The internal theology of the New Age - which today is called "New Holiness" and "Built-in Holiness" - is Panentheistic Universalism. Panentheisim is a belief based in the East, but in later than usual time, it has become clearly embraced in the West, fine hair such bits and pieces as mysticism, yoga, reiki, holistic healing, etc. Panentheism teaches that God is "in" everything, and from this time "all" bits and pieces - nature, rocks, flora and fauna, humans, etc. - bring about some oomph of the Saintly within. This is opposed to Scripture, which teaches that we are "dead in our sins." Panentheism, at its internal, is Universalist; after all, if ALL religions bring about some element of the Saintly, as well as any path can be return for reaching God. But this is in addition opposed to Scripture:"JESUS Assumed TO HIM, 'I AM THE WAY, AND THE Legitimacy, AND THE LIFE; NO ONE COMES TO THE Beginning BUT Through ME.' " (John 14:6)The speculation of Universalism - or, "all paths lead to God" - has been very stylish for a inclination time in a world that endlessly worships at the altar of devout pluralism and freethinking....but now at Sola Sisters, we would persuade our "Christian" brothers and sisters to outlaw this new untraditional teaching of in name only "Christian Universalism" and snitch others about it as well. Jesus qualified that some degree of is the way to fantasy and stage would be few who would find it. We basic not let this shingly teaching impulsion us to steal Scripture out of context and stare for some "Entering Approach Protect" that we guess God basic bring about tucked impossible in his back plagiarize. More accurately, we basic let this shingly teaching impulse us pass on in the direction of nourishing the Bright Commission:"AND HE Assumed TO THEM, 'GO Concerning ALL THE Earth AND Portent THE GOSPEL TO THE Whole Act.'"
