“The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception….” 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12

“The prophets prophesy lies in My name. I have not sent them, commanded them, nor spoken to them; they prophesy to you a false vision, divination, a worthless thing, and the deceit of their heart.” Jeremiah 14:14

There is an excellent chart here that shows the progression from Biblical Belief to the New Spirituality currently sweeping across the religious landscape of America. The chart lists topics of Belief and shows the Transition from historic Biblical Christianity to this New Spirituality. The information presented is supported by quotes, citations and links to source material from which it was drawn.

Below is the entry for the topic of TRUTH – Timeless or Relative?

Biblical Christianity

God’s eternal, unchanging Word! Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6

Transition

Truth is de-emphasized to avoid division: “Humanity is recognizing the need for a more vital approach to God… men are tired of doctrinal and dogmatic differences….”

New Spirituality

“…a portion of truth… is found in every religious and philosophical system…. There is no room for absolute truth…. But there are relative truths.”

“When we can contact our own inner God, all truth will be revealed to us.”

Of course there is really ‘new’ about this New Spirituality.  It’s nothing more than  centuries old heresy dressed up in a new suit. The Emperor however, is still naked!  What troubles me with this regurgitation is not so much it’s apparently widespread appeal to the ‘postmodern’ intellect, but infiltration into the church, aided and abetted by some so-called ‘evangelical’ leaders!

There are some apologists that would tell you that it might well be developing into the one world religion spoken of in the Bible.

The question for believers is what to do about it. I really see only two options;  we can ‘cluck’ about it like barnyard hens, or we can present the TRUTH. . . with LOVE.
