Melissa Dougherty warns: This wildly popular movement is masquerading as Christianity and leading millions astray

 

 

 

We are living in the time of The Great Falling Away, in the time of Romans 1, because many, oh, so many many stood firmly in the true faith to begin with, thus they are blown this way and that, tossed to and fro by the winds of Satan’s enticing, seductive breath with his lying words entering their deceived hearts more than they allow the words of Life, and true Light, showing the Way, which is Jesus Christ.

Merely saying “I’m a Christian,” or “I go to church every Sunday,” or “I am a mamber of _________ church,” does not make one saved, does not make one renewed of mind and spirit, a truly changed heart — from within — made possible by a truly born anew life given by faith and obedience. Given by that faith with evidence of the Holy Spirit within the individual. Rather than the infdividual focusing on self, how they feel, what they like, what they believe — is that individual focused on Jesus, on God, the God of the whole Holy Bible, more aware and concerned with pleasing God and abiding in His Word than how they personally feel, believing every word within the Word not altering God’s Word to suit their personal interpretation, or what the culture says.

We’re living in the time of The Great Falling Away, Romans 1, because so many have failed to ever stand firmly, truly in the faith of YAHWEH, Jesus of Nazareth, God of heaven and Creator of all Who came to this earth fully as a man, while also fully truly God, to this week reveal Himself as fulfillment of the promise, of Bible prophecy, to fulfill the words of the true prophets found in God’s Word, to be illegally tried in a kangaroo court, beaten beyond recognition as a man, beaten worse than any man ever had been beaten, to be led to Golgatha to be nailed to that tree of shame, to die, which was more painful than anyone can come close to comprehending, as that meant more pain in the spiritual separation from God the Father and taking on sin in His sinless, perfect body, to be buried in the rich man’s tomb — only to walk out of that tomb three days later, ALIVE!, to be seen by over 500 people, including all the apostles, to ascend after 40 days before their eyes back into heaven.

To return.

Better prepare. That comes first by living in and believing the whole of God’s Word. Without personal interpretation or turning to the ways the world views God, Jesus, and the Holy Bible. A person is either all in — or they are all out. There is no middle ground. There is either an eternity in heaven or in hell.

Soundly, truly, truthfully, faithfully live according to the Word of God and not according to the lying, deceived world professing to believe, to know Him, for they know nothing but the master whom they serve — Satan, and their love of this world, their love of self above all else. Truly treating Jesus as a mascot, a prop to further mislead many.

Such is our time.

Which grows shorter by the hour before all of Bible prophecy is fulfilled.

What are you doing about that reality, that truth?

Melissa Dougherty warns: This wildly popular movement is masquerading as Christianity and leading millions astray

Most Christians see the New Age movement’s deep ties to occultism and witchcraft and recognize it as a demonic worldview. But there’s an adjacent movement that, despite its inextricable connection to New Age, is packaged as a Christian belief system.

That movement is called New Thought. It’s a spiritual movement that influenced New Ageism that centers on how the power of the mind shapes reality — emphasizing positive thinking, the law of attraction, mental healing, the divine nature of humanity, and the idea that Infinite Intelligence or God is within all things and accessible through right thinking.

This is the movement author and Christian apologist Melissa Dougherty found herself in before she became a true Christian.

On this episode of “Unashamed,” Melissa unpacks the good-sounding but ultimately evil mechanics of the New Thought movement that has millions of people duped into thinking they’re Christians.

“If I were to define New Thought in two words, it would be metaphysical Christianity. All that means is that everything that you see physically has a spiritual counterpart, including words,” Melissa says.

Instead of reading Scripture in its proper historical context to decipher what’s being communicated, New Thought, she explains, positions the reader as “the arbiter.”

“You’re the one that interprets it on how it feels to you and what it means to you. Because metaphysically speaking, truth is found from within, not outside of yourself, because God is in you,” she says. “So it’s a subjective interpretation. … There’s a higher, deeper, esoteric, hidden meaning within that text that’s meant for you.”

Melissa boils down the movement into one simple concept: “It’s the positive thinking movement in America with Jesus as its mascot.”

People in this movement believe that they “create [their] reality” through cognition. “Sickness, poverty, things like that are all a state of mind. How you feel creates your reality,” Melissa says.

This results in a lot of “distortion of truth,” she laments. For example, “there’s a saying in New Thought that when you look in the mirror, there’s a god staring back at you, and that’s the secret … of what Jesus was really trying to say.”

While this “sounds really good,” Melissa says, it’s a lie. That’s why she titled her book “Happy Lies” — because it shines a true biblical light on the positive-sounding but heretical New Thought movement.

“It duped me,” she confesses.
