The new age movement blended into Christianity “IS” the protestant reformation.

To the contrary, dear stfassisi, the reformers sought to return to pure unfiltered Christian faith. Hence the Scriptures were elevated and the traditions and doctrines added by the Catholic Church were largely dismissed.

The new age movement, on the other hand, is a type of Eastern mysticism. The enlightenment it seeks does not recognize Jesus Christ as God or value the words of God. Rather, it sees man as a "god" like co-creator of the universe and participant in the cosmic consciousness.

“the reformers sought to return to pure unfiltered Christian faith.”

The reformers sought to follow their own selves in what they thought was their own self serving version of Christianity that was not bound by rules, but rather their own interpretations of Scripture that the reformers themselves were not even united in.

That lack of unity by itself should cause you reason for concern,Dear Sister. Thus when you fast forward to this day and age we see that there is not a united single source of protestant faith -we can clearly see that its fruits were not grounded in love ,it was grounded in confusion from the start.

“”The new age movement, on the other hand, is a type of Eastern mysticism””

That’s only part of it.

I spent around 2 years being fully devoted to helping others understand the NAM,and I can tell you first hand that it is the protestant communities where this is most filtered into.

In fact ,it was the work that I was doing on the NAM that lead me back to being fully united with the Catholic Church after being in the Methodists Church for over 18 years.

The Catholic Church has already fought against what we call the NAM for thousands of years

I suggest that you read the below document on the NAM if you want to understand it.

There is nothing that even comes close to exposing what the NAM is.

Here is the document..

JESUS CHRIST
THE BEARER OF THE WATER OF LIFE

A Christian reflection
on the “New Age”

Absolutely true.

And, the looming Anti-Christ, waiting in the wings, will evidently be blending the latter into his own one world religion . . . probably with the same watcher/ nephilium/ fallen angel sound and light show deceptions they used at Fatima.
