The New Church

It started in the 1970’s. People like K. Hagin and others began to preach a gospel never heard of before in the church, but where did this doctrine come from?

These men began to preach that God wanted his people to be rich and that they should never be sick. This Word of Faith (WOF from now on) began to take over the church and many have no clue what the WOF teaching was based on.

The WOF teaching came from what is known as the “New Thought” movement that was developed by Phineas Quimby who was an american spiritual teacher (not in the christian sense), magnetizer, mesmerist, and inventor. The New Thought teaching holds that infinite intelligence or God is everywhere, spirit is the totality of real things, true human selfhood is divine, divine thought is a force for good, sickness originates in the mind, and "right thinking" has a healing effect. New Thought is neither monolithic nor doctrinaire in general and modern day adherents of New Thought share some core beliefs:

1.   God or Infinite Intelligence is "supreme, universal, and everlasting";

2.   Divinity dwells within each person, that all people are spiritual beings;

3.   "The highest spiritual principle [is] loving one another unconditionally... and teaching and healing one another"

4.   "Our mental states are carried forward into manifestation and become our experience in daily living”

While this all sounds great you must understand that is based on:

Evolution of Thought: Adherents also generally believe that as humankind gains greater understanding of the world, New Thought itself will evolve to assimilate new knowledge and Alan Anderson and Deb Whitehouse described New Thought as a "process" in which each individual and even the New Thought Movement itself is "new every moment".

Theological Inclusionism: The Home of Truth has from its inception as the Pacific Coast Metaphysical Bureau in the 1880s under the leadership of Annie Rix Militz, disseminated the teachings of the Hindu teacher Swami Vivekananda. It is one of the more outspokenly interfaith of New Thought organizations, stating adherence to "the principle that Truth is Truth where ever it is found and whoever is sharing it"

Therapeutic Ideas: Divine Science, Unity Church, and the New Thought movement originated in the early 19th century, and survives to the current day in the form of a loosely allied group of religious denominations, authors, philosophers, and people who share a set of beliefs concerning metaphysics, positive thinking, the law of attraction, healing, life force, creative visualization, and personal power and the teachings of Christian Science are in some ways similar to Quimby's teachings. Its founder, Mary Baker Eddy, was a student and patient of Quimby's but she later disavowed his influence on her Christian Science.

What is sad is that many of the “Christians” who bought this new age teaching called “New Thought” into the church and taught people that they could speak away their sicknesses (and speak things into being) actually died of horrible diseases (Oral Roberts, Jan & Paul Crouch, Kenneth Hagin, Kathyrn Kuhlman, and others). Also, this never would have gotten to the church if it had not been for a man named E.W. Kenyon because he learned this false teaching from Quimby, christianized it and then passed it on to Kenneth Hagin.

Even the great christian author and pastor Norman Vincent Peale who wrote the book “The Power of Positive Thinking” was actually a freemason (which is a satanic organization), did you know that? If not it is okay because most people who claim to know Jesus in America did not know that either. So I have to ask this question, whatever happened to testing the spirits?

So what affect did this false satanic teaching have on the church?

Well 40 years later…

We have prophets on the internet who give out a DAILY prophesy, and if you donate to them they will send you a DAILY PERSONAL prophesy to your email.

THIS IS NOT OF GOD BUT OF THE DEVIL!!!

We have Christian TAROT cards in the church called “Destiny Cards”

THIS IS NOT OF GOD BUT OF THE DEVIL!!!

We have Christians practicing YOGA in the church

THIS IS NOT OF GOD BUT OF THE DEVIL!!!

We now have “Christian” ghost hunters… These “christian” ghost hunters pray GOD protects them from the ghosts before every show… No, they do not call them demons (which they are) but ghosts. You see, ghosts are not real because when we die we are either with the Lord or in hell awaiting judgment and finally these guys language is constantly getting censored… hmm… That’s a great testimony…

THIS IS NOT OF GOD BUT OF THE DEVIL!!!

It is passed time for the real church to come out of these false doctrine teaching manmade temples to their version of Jesus and be what God called us to be.

1 Peter 2:9-12 “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light; which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. Dearly beloved, I beseech you as STRANGERS AND PILGRIMS abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation”
