I was very surprised to stumble along the following blogpost over the weekend. I've come to know this particular blogger as a person with radically fundamentalistic views regarding the Christian religion.
Here, suddenly, she places an article on buddhist prayer, linking it to the colours of the rainbow. I would have given her credit if she included any explanatory remarks, but the only piece of information is the heading, "7 Colours of the Rainbow and the 7 Chakras," leaving the article open to any possible interpretation.
Two thoughts spring to mind.
First, since when does the colours of the rainbow signify anything buddhist? If I understand the Genesis story correctly, the rainbow was given as proof of God's promise to Noah. Therefore, she must be implying that the Bible is actually linking with Buddhist religion to help us Christians with meditation and prayer. That's awfully nice of her, but I'm not going to pray any of these mantras soon, thank you. As far as I can remember, the rainbow has Christian symbolism, reminding us of God who keeps his promises. Anybody else who wants to utilise the symbol for some other meaning - like DTW's blog post, or the use of the rainbow as symbol for the gay movement - do this on their own conscience. The Bible was first. And if a Christian blog such as DTW posts new age stuff without any explanation one would be bound to think they are dabbling with syncretism.
Second: I could invite the devil into my soul without knowing it by reading this post! DTW should be on the look out that she doesn't get bound by any demons that place curses on her through this obvious dabbling with other religions and philosophies.
For clarity: As I've read through previous entries of her blog,I came to the conclusion that a Christian who reads stuff from people with demonic, new age or emerging church links, will open themselves to creating a strong-hold for a demonic force in their own lives. DTW is doing just that with this specific entry.
So, somebody, please help me out here: As I've read quite a few books from her lists of emerging church thinkers, does anybody know an excorcist close at hand that can come pray with me? I really don't want to become caught in the devil's trap unknowingly through my interest in other Christians' thoughts!
I need to add a last, final remark, though: After I pointed out the fallacy of the blog post on DTW, the writer actually reacted (see the comment section below) and then changed her blog entry to include a paragraph on faith in Christ.
Although it is appreciated that she took the confusion and my comment to heart - and tried to correct the false teaching with a paragraph under the heading,"AS WE CAN SEE THIS IS COMPLETELY OCCULT," added to the entry - the question remains: what about those persons who read her initial entry over the past few days (before Sunday evening) and actually started meditating the chakras as she discussed it?!

ReplyDeleteLOL, you are a pathetic little man. You can’t come and have biblical discussion so you go and find some rubbish to speak about. You are a fool second to none.
The Rainbow has Christian symbolism when God promised HE would NOT DESTROY SINFUL WICKED MANKIND again via a Flood. I consider the rainbow God sent as a Promise that we would not destroy mankind that way again, but also as a reminder of what he did once to a wicked people who followed after OTHER GODS like you and Stephan Joubert and Nelus Niemands and Brain McLaren, Rob Martoia, Leonard Sweet etc, etc, etc, etc who preach occult teaching and lead them VERTICALLY up the tree of life!!
I pray your congregation catch wind of your sly wolf dribble soon.
Guilluame I would like to make a public apology to you regarding my unnaceptable comment to you above. I should not have called you pathetic and foolish. I sincerily apologise for these nasty words of mine.
ReplyDeleteRegards
Deborah
Dear Deborah
