What is The New Age View Of GOD
New Agers
believe in God. In fact, they believe that everyone and everything is
God. So, how many Gods do New Agers believe exist? Just one.
To Christians, God is a personal being who
is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good. Furthermore, Scripture consistently
draws a strong distinction between God the Creator and His creation.
Wipe away all distinctions between Creator
and creation, and you immediately end up with "monism" -- the belief
that all is one. In other words, monism says that there's no difference
between God, human beings, and a stick of gum; they are simply parts
of one undivided reality. New Agers most definitely hold to monism,
but they also give divine status to all reality. Thus, everything in
the New Age world is considered God. This is known as pantheism.
It's plain to see that New Age revelations
concerning God are nothing but the same old lies the serpent used to
deceive Eve in the Garden of Eden. Genesis 1 admittedly speaks of people
being created in the image of God, but such statements are made with
reference to our possession of characteristics which can only be found
in personal beings, including the power to think, act, exercise our
free will, and acknowledge and worship our Maker. The fact that we are
not all-powerful and don't know everything amply proves that we are
not God. Strangely enough, the very trait that we have in common with
God -- our personality -- is precisely what New Agers deny from God.
They reduce God to an impersonal object, be it some kind of force, principle,
or energy.
I believe Romans 1:25 best summarizes what
New Agers have done with God, speaking of those who have "exchanged
the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things
rather than the Creator."
