KFLCC / New Age Bible Versions - Gail Riplinger

The belief that one's thoughts and words can effect external reality is based on an occult technique called 'sympathetic magic'. There is a link between sorcery and pantheism," notes one author .38 If all is One, then speaking or thinking naturally affect the rest of reality, rather like a wave set up by a tossed stone. Certain circles of Christianity have adopted this monistic world view to support their methods.

APOSTATE CHRISTIANITY "God is no longer boxed in by the arbitrary Spirit/matter categories of an outmoded physics.. .[T]he created order is an open one. It is a Spirit/matter continuum."39 Conversion/Initiation and the Baptism in the Holy Ghost

HINDUISM

"Matter is not a contradiction of spiritual consciousness; it is simply the lowest expression of it."40

All this patter about spirit/matter continuums conceals the real trigger fingers which set the 'magic in motion'. They are the "spirits of devils, working miracles" (Revelation 16:14). The "wishing caps" for kids and corruptible crowns for carnal Christians are a dress rehearsal for the forthcoming false prophet who fulfills the fantasy of every spiritual power monger "by means of those miracles which he had power to do..." (Revelation 13:14). (The NASB's false prophet performs no miracles, merely some signs. New versions focus on the flamboyant rather than the spiritual work which Christ did often calling his 'mighty works' 'miracles'. So when the false prophet comes with 'miracles', people will say "This is the work of God!")

The Country Club or the Cross

New Agers say fundamentalists have the "virus of separation. "41 So 'society' Sunday schools immunized weekly with sermon serum: "Should a Christian own a BMW?" New versions have parked inside 'the Club' not outside 'the camp' (Hebrews 13:13). They read like a Christian Country Club Membership Check List.
