“I’m spiritual, but not religious.” — How do you engage people who have adopted this kind of worldview and are dabbling in the occult (even though they may not know it)? Frank shares insights from the great C.S. Lewis and offers some thought-provoking questions you can ask your peers who are entertaining the New Age.

#Witchcraft #Spirituality
The occult is so strong right now. I pray against it daily. Especially with people in my own family. The occult has taken over for atheism.
ha ha ha
You are God. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
If you don't kill me, I kill me!
People claim to be god all the damn time.
There are HOW MANY different cults with individuals claiming to be jesus out there? Several.
That gas got to be the most pathetic argument i have ever heard before.
Edit:
So if hesus wasn't god, then he wasn't a good teacher?
So everything he said and taught is ONLY valid ir good to you if he is infact god?
That doesn't make any sense.
God or not, the teachings would have to be good. He would Have to be a good teacher.
Edit 2: and then the fallacy that's always made. Refusal to accept that people don't view your religion as the truth.
YOU view it as your religion is the only possible way while thats not how others see it.
Yet you outright deny any other view point thus dismissing anything anyone says by default.
So you're refusing to actually understand someone else's view.
Always.
Too many conflate 'religion' with GOD. There is a vast chasm between the two, clearly.
GOD expresses HIS will, HIS standards, HIS wisdom, HIS qualities through HIS Word as found in The Bible.
Shame that most 'religions', and they all claim to represent GOD, simply do not follow the tenets found in GOD's Word.
GOD's Word calls these charlatans, 'the men of lawlessness'….AND…we are admonished to stay away from these lawless ones.
Think about it.
When an evangelist brings a message to others, it will always be in one of two ways. In either case they will speak of and also demonstrate their own relationship to truth. At one extreme their love for others is revealed by the act depicted in scripture as "stoning" — literally slaying by the blunt force of rocks (petra). At the other is a love for humans so inconceivable that mere generosity or tolerance is eclipsed by its stunning sacrifice. Which of us has a humility true enough to establish himself on that scale?
I used to say this during my confused, not committed to anything years. Looking back, this meant, really, I was not clear about who or what I believed even though if you asked me, I'd say I was Christian. But I couldn't tell you how Jesus Christ was different and what it meant to trust Him. I will not say I'm religious today, but I'm very clear about what it means to worship and trust the Lord Jesus Christ. I read and study the bible nearly on a daily basis and allow the Holy Spirit to lead me. My perspective on just about everything has changed from worldly to lining up with the Word of God. I am a different person.
Rightly do people say this. They're waking up to all the problems and abuses of (externalized) religion as a coercive system, and want to have some say in their own spiritual lives. Childish threats of punishment don't scare people who have outgrown such beliefs.
Where did Jesus claim to be god? Think for yourself. Bet you cant find the word Jesus in the original Greek or Latin.
.
Being religious means you go to or belong to a church.

I am excommunicated:
.
Romans 9:25-26
It is as he says also in Ho·se´a: “Those not my people I will call ‘my people,’ and her who was not beloved ‘beloved’; 26 and in the place where it was said to them, ‘YOU are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’”
.
‘YOU are not my people,’ <<—- Excommunicated
.
.
I'm spiritual but not religious!
.
.
I turned my back on theology, not religion. God exists in the hearts and mind of all of us (Jeremiah 31:33)
He was a madman….go with that.
I don't follow a religion. I follow Christ, who died for our sins and rose again on the third day.
The life, death by crucifixion, and resurrection of Christ are well documented historical facts.
Not a religion. The Truth. Thanks.
Matthew 22:1 -14 (KJV) And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, 2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, 3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. 4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. 5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: 6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. 7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. 9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. 10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. 11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: 12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. 13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
"Spiritual not religious" aka "Fleshly and doesn't know God".
But then they would say: white magic is benevolent, it is the good side. And they would say Jesus never said he was God, that the Gospel was fabricated… the tissue of lies and deception against Christianity is endless.
1:52 you really should ask yourself the same question. Atheists aren’t the ones making the extraordinary claims. The burden of proof is on the one making the claims 🤣
He sums it up perfectly. "Jesus is either god, or he's nothing". Which is more likely? A man making a false claim, or a man who insists he created a universe? Clearly he's a grifter.
Demons are pure spirit
I’m a Christian and I find the term “religious” so absurd the way it is often used. So if someone calls me religious, does that mean I like all religions? Or that I am just generally advocating for the idea of religion? Or when people say “I hate religion” but they really mean they hate Christianity.
When she say "They", she's actually saying "I"
I’ve always believed this- for every theory there must also be an antithesis.
We are all spiritual. Our task is to become complete human beings. Many scholars have opinion jesus didnt claim to be god in first 3 gospels mst, mark luke. Only I much later gospel of john. Written maybe in 110.lewis ideas generally only appeal to evangelicals with little theological trsining. By the way I believe jesus was the human face of jesus
"Why get involved with a cult when you can be involved with the Creator?"
I never had respect for this world view. “ I’m going to reject everything from three Abraham books and cherry pick what I like from these eastern scriptures. Truth is not cherry picked. It is uncompromisable.
The "demonic" realm is planet earth, the "godly" realm is in the heads of religious folk.
I was on a date with a girl when she said to me …
“I’m not religious but I’m spiritual.”
And I looked at her and replied…
“Well I’m not honest but you’re interesting.”
It was men who claimed Jesus said he claimed he was God and, the writers of the Bible wrote all that in. Jesus probably never never said that. Hey Lady you are the one that understands that, little Mr.Pompous doesn’t.
Only Jesus Christ said that, "God is a Spirit." (John 4:24)… So why would anyone have to "buy" spiritual guidance from anyone else?
All so-called "Spirituality" is man-made attempts to gain "forms of godliness" which are all simply witchcraft, idolatr, and SELF-aggrandizement… Sense Jesus Christ said in John 14:6, "I am THE way, THE truth, and THE life", then ANY and ALL OTHER WAY(s) to reach God, outside of Jesus Christ are witchcraft, or delving into the spirit without the faithful and true guidance of the One who made the spirit world.
