vain deceit

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. Col 2:8
More and more, eastern mysticism (ie: Hindusim, Yoga, Kundalini, etc) have been working their way into western culture, and is now found even in the Christian church
 Be on the lookout for the various westernized versions of these teachings.  It is a common thing to find teaching on the 7 main chakras in everything from health food, holistic practitioners, spiritualists, and so on.
Signs of these teachings include 7 points of “energy” going from the bottom to the crown, and these points are often associated with the 7 colors of the rainbow.

The pattern to look for is a progression from the “root” or bottom chakra with the goal of “awakening” these points of energy points and achieving increasing “enlightenment”.


Some traditions such as kundalini believe there is a serpent spirit or pair of serpent spirits coiled about the spine that must be awakened.

Many who practice this believe that when the 6th chackra is linked to the pineal gland, or third-eye.  When this chakra is activiated the practitioner has merged two sides and comes in contact with a spirit guide.

Additionally, the 7th chakra is the “crown” chakra, a death of self and “pure consciousness”.  It is symbolized by a multicolored lotus flower – which is another common signal of practitioners.  The seated position for meditation mimicks the side view of the lotus.

Any teachings, logos, products, etc that includes these patterns is likely influences by eastern mysticism.

universal fatherhood?

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. John 8:44

This blows away the false newage concept of the “universal fatherhood” of God, meaning that God is everyone’s father.   To the contrary, we are all born into sin and only those who are reborn and become “sons of God” can call God our Father which art in heaven.



And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Luke 11:2

name taken out of book of life

Revelation 22:19 – And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book

Jeremiah 27:20; 28:4 – Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim (Eliakim)

(note that Jeconiah is the son of Jehoakim, Jehoakim is the son of Josias)


Jeremiah 36:23 – And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.

(Jehoiakim cut up and burned the scroll of Jeremiah’s recording of the word of the LORD)

Matthew 1:11 – And Josias begat Jechonias (Jeconiah) and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon

(Note that Jehoiakim’s name is missing from the geneology…)

total depravity

No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day – John 6:44

And he said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.” – John 6:65

God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance – 2Peter 3:9

Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 1Tim 2:4

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life – John 3:16

God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith – Romans 12:3

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. – John 5:25
