“”Which christ?””
Jesus Christ-There is only one

No, there are many and they are deceivers

Mat 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

And that my friend is the problem, they do not know the "real thing" from the spiritual impostors

The object of mysticism is a direct line to God.. for personal relationship or for revelation.

Catholicism stands together with Buddhism and Hinduism, Catholic mystics William Johnston says this "Self-realization lies at the very heart of BuddhismIn self-realization I become one with God ...just as Jesus is one with his Father."
The Mirror Mind

This is pantheism not Christianity

Catholic and Eastern mysticism say they discover God in the depths of their being.

A saved Christian Christian looks not at himself, but to Jesus Christ and His righteousness

You really shouldn't feed us straight lines like that! ;-)

Wrong again.

[Natural Law]

"A saved Christian Christian looks not at himself, but to Jesus Christ and His righteousness" Mysticism is a poorly defined aspect of faith, but it is hardly absent from Protestantism. Where does Protestant Mysticism fit into your criticism? I am referring to Sebastian Frank (1499-1542), Valentine Weiler (1533-88), and especially by Jakob Böhme (1575-1624). Where does Johann Reuchlin (1455-1522) who developed a system of cabalistic mysticism fin into your criticism?

How about the second generation romantic Mysticism of Fichte (1762-1814), Novalis (1772-1801), and Schelling (1775-1854)? How about Lessing (1728-81), Schleiermacher (1768-1834), Ritschl (1822-1889) or even Aimee McPherson? What about the trance like states and the jabbering in tongues so common in Protestantism?

Seems to me you have your own house to clean before you offer any criticisms of Catholic “mystics”.

“Catholicism stands together with Buddhism and Hinduism...”

This is so lacking in credibility.
