KFLCC / New Age Bible Versions - Gail Riplinger

Charles & Mildred Filmore : Deny an external "Father" yet say,

"We have identified ourselves with the Father-Mind ."22

Current New Agers Benjamine Creme : Says, "Sanat Kumara.. .is our Father."23

David Spangler : Looks forward to "a vast initiatory process [with] life in the Solar Father." ( Conscious Evolution: Personal and Planetary Transformation) Meher Baba, Baba Paramahansa : Use the term Baba , meaning 'Father' as part of their name. The former is guru of Peter Townshend of the "Who" rock group. The latter is John Denver's 'Father' guru .24

Harold Sherman : Authored New Age book, How to Use the Power

of Prayer. Suggests readers pray, "Great Spirit.. .Dear Father."25

World Healing Meditation (prepared by the Planetary Commission): "I and the Father are one and all that the Father has is mine. In truth I am the Christ of God ."26 Encyclopedia of Occultism and Parapsychology: Suggests New Age necromancers, M[0]pen the bible and wait for the spirit to come saying, ’Vouchsafe to be present, O Father of All, and thou thrice mighty Hermes Conductor of the Dead.. .Glory be to the Father.'"27 Why do new version editors use the occult version in Lukel 1:2? The preceding history noted that both the Dogma < & Ritual of High Magic and the Occult Encyclopedia recommended the use of the term "Father of All" or "All-Father" to necromancers (spiritualists who seek contact with the dead). Followers of Hermes do likewise. Do new versions use the occult version of the Our Father because the editor of the 'New' Greek New Testament underlying all new versions was also a spiritualist, who communed with the "All-Father" and founded the 'Hermes Club ’?"28 (See Chapter 30.) Fellow spiritualists recognize their affinity with new versions saying Jehovah is not ’the Father'.
