filled with the world
Christians should live in the world, but not be filled with it. A ship lives in the water; but if the water gets into the ship, she goes to the bottom. So Christians may live in the world; but if the world gets into them, they sink.
–Dwight L. Moody
Morning Star
I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.”
How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!
Isaiah 14:12 ESV
How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low!
According to ESV, Jesus fell from heaven!

Rev 2:28 KJB
And I will give him the morning star.
2 Peter 1:19 KJB
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your heart
vain deceit
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.
their rock is not as our Rock
For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps
Deut 32:31-33
looking forward
aging and sickness in this world drives us to look forward to and long for heaven
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

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

the same god?
it is true when they say that they all worship the same “god” (2Cor 4:4)
but it is NOT the one true living God
