New Earth...Same Old Crap, Pt. 1

I don't take pleasure in reading books that help alternative spiritualities, or more honestly - heresies, but I indeed felt similar I needed to peruse this one. Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth is one of the most talked about books in years. This is in the first place due to it's biggest fan, Oprah Winfrey.

The conception I felt I needed to peruse this and spend some duration teaching about it, is because of its risk. The average individual with not enough Biblical discernment or foundation could easily reflect, Oprah's a profitable person. She wouldn't young ox me wrong. This volume quotes Jesus on every other boy-servant. That can't be bad. I might actually extend spiritually through this work. However, nothing could be farther from the verity. Oprah might be a profitable person, but by promoting this work she is leading family down a very dangerous pathway. Tolle might quote Jesus again and again, but he takes Jesus' talk and twists them to back up his own notice.

For the next couple of weeks, I wanted to highlight some of the heresies of A New Earth. This will also succor me process some of my thoughts as I adjust to preach on the urgency to be on the lookout for lying teachers (cognate Tolle) one Sunday in July.

Let me first say that if you transport all the heresies from this volume, you'd have a pretty becoming self-succor book that at times offers some serviceable advice....
