“Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and AVOID THEM. For those who are such DO NOT SERVE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech DECEIVE THE HEARTS OF THE SIMPLE. For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil.” (Rom. 16:17-19)
New Age leader Neale Donald Walsch encouraged every pastor to preach this, “We must CHANGE OURSELVES. We must change the BELIEFS upon which our behaviors are based. We must create a DIFFERENT REALITY, build a new society…. We must do so with NEW spiritual truths. We must preach a NEW gospel, its healing message summarized in two sentences: We are all one. Ours is not a better way, ours is merely ANOTHER WAY. This is not of God…only Jesus can change us!!!
