KFLCC / New Age Bible Versions - Gail Riplinger

New versions have touched the palate of bible readers giving them a taste of the New Age. Like a cake's ingredients, mysticism is mixed so thoroughly with Christianity that it is not easily discemable, except to those who have tasted the forbidden fruit before! Consequently, New Agers like Shirley MacLaine say, "The bible is very metaphysical." Mystics can now say "[T]he bible confirms New Age views," as Mystery Mark of the New Age reveals .29 New versions have incited a shift in doctrine within some Christian circles that has not gone unnoticed by mystics and occultists. Starhawk, a self-proclaimed witch remarks:

I am very glad to discover such movement within Christian churches that is sympathetic to the pagan spirit.30

Author of Toward a World Religionfor the New Age has also tasted the forbidden fruit before and points out the origin of Christianity's "changes in teaching."

[Christianity] demonstrates changes in teaching. . .which are related to the ageless wisdom taught in Egypt.. .early Greek philosophy and in the mystical schools. . .and in most esoteric groups.

Naive Christians pass over the esoteric terminology and philosophy in new versions because, as Moody's Agony of Deceit points out:

[T]hey are unaware that they are repeating the errors of the past. Because they do not understand Greek philosophy or Oriental mysticism, or 19th century theosophy [Luciferianism], they do not know how seriously they have been affected by such thinking.31

Caught up or Falling away?

Let no man deceive you by any means for that day shall not come except there come a falling away first. II Thessalonians 2:3
