Remember reading it just after NZ Spirit's Resolution festival few years back...
As if God Himself was reminding me about pagan worship that comes along with these kind of new-agey stuff.
Zephaniah 1:5
"For they go up to thier roofs
And bow down to the sun, moon and stars.
They claim to follow the Lord,
But then they worship Molech too."
For all those into self improvement, personal development... the rabbit hole goes deep towards hocus pocus stuff like the Secret (manifestation, law of attraction), Mexican Ayahusca (phyto psychedelic) , occult Kybalion (esoteric hermeticism)...
They'll throw it funky add-ons like crystals, sages, bells and whistles, frequencies, vibrations and such...
But eventually mostly boil down to a similar concept:
"That whatever we want, comes form something within us, that is in our control. (Or well, the choice to choose whatever is 'out there' in the universe)"
Hence, yeah...
Its opposition to Christianity.
Whereby out help and salvation comes from God, and not our ownself. Through Jesus Chirst.
Its odd really.. this Christmas. His name is being mentioned less and less. As if were afraid to mention his name (Luke 9:26). Its a form of social anxiety, a desire to fit in with everyone and not be divisive..
But yeah... well... I guess we can't worship two gods at the same time right. Our God is monotheistic, not allowing us polythisme. Just as how a wife has righteous jealousy when her husband might be tempted away by another woman's lustful seduction. So too should we protect the sacredness of marriage being between only one man and woman (Another particularly sensitive topic in today's world).
How to incite hate? How not to make another angry. Is being complacent and accommodating what God would ha e wanted for Sodom and Gomorrahs way of life?
Or does fire and brimstone not exist in this world of rainbow unicorns and strawberries anymore....
