A few words about Pseudo Christian Spirituality.
A false "Spiritual" Movies and Books which we as Christians should
Fully Avoid
We live in the age of the boom of sects, false prophets and false
"messiahs". Today it's common that the bookstores are filled in
with all kind of occult literature and magic teaching literature,
agnostic books, horoscopes and all kind of empty modern day
philosophy books which teaches evil, the so called "Get rich for a
day", "The secrets of success", "How to take advantage over the
others", "How to be succesful", "NLP for your success", "How to
enter into business", "How to become rich quickly" etc. are e very
short list of all the non-sense literature one can meet on the
books market.
Along with the books we are being offered all kind of movies and
philosophies "teaching us" about the life meanings, trying to
explain the meaning of life and the universe and the meaning of
each self as a human being.
From Christian perspective, most of this movies and books which
plead to contain "a deeper life meaning" are empty of any real pure
spiritual contents but are simply a mixture of various religious
beliefs belonging to different group of worldy faiths and mostly
targets to make the authors of the story or screen play rich.
This movies are not being inspired by God - The All Holy Trinity
and they reject Christ as a founding stone on which to stand over,
it's clear that they contain an anti-christian content and every
truly devoted Christian should try to abstain from watching
them.
To name just a few of asuch a movies which are ecumenical
(preach for unification of world religions) and from Orthodox
Christian perspective are anti-christian in essence:
- What the Bleep Do we Know - Down The Rabbit
Hole
- The Great Secret of Water
- The Secret
- The Fountain
We as Christians should try not watch this movie or praise them as
something which confirms our faith, as they don't confirm our faith
in Christ but they try to spread up a "sick spirituality" and
insane ideas.
This is just a small list of movies I have encountered which has
influenced my spiritual health in a really negative way, therefore
I hope if you're a Christian you will
take my warning and
CHOOSE NOT TO WATCH THESE MOVIES!.
The reason for choosing not to watch this movies would be purely to
prevent yourself from experiencing a spiritual (soul) damages by
exposing yourself to the heretical teachings and ideas of the
aforementioned ones.
Also try to get astray from all the genres of boks which I have
mentioned above which try to teach you how to become sucessful in
life, I have personally read a book I'm not sure about the exact
name but it was similar to:
- "The subsconscious could do everything / (Psyche can achieve
everything) / The power of Mind etc."
The book teaches the false idea that with our subconscrious mind
we built our own current realities and promotes "positive
thinking" as a way to attract wealth, personal success and
happiness to yourself.
You can see yourself that this is insane not only from a Christian
perspective but even for any rational person.
The idea of this false teachings is to convince you that man is
undeveloped god and that we are masters of our own reality.
Therefore it is in direct contrast with even basic Christian
beliefs, we Christians do belief that our reality and existence is
completely in God's hands and nothing could happen without God to
allow it to happen.
Therefore from a Christian perspective if you, "during the whole
day think about how you will get rich and how you will have
millions in a bank account" as many of the up-mentioned devilish
movies and books teaches, nothing will happen if God does not allow
it.
We're clearly said and taught from the Holy Bible and the Livings
of the saints that all our life and daily goods we attain through
our life are given by mercy, the saints has taught us that our
lives and all we're and possess are from God for God and through
God! To whom be glory now and forever and ever! Amen.
Watch out for this heretical false doctrines which might separate
you from Christ and our mother the Orthodox Church.
The
appearance of all this kind heretical literature and movies is in
accordance to the prophecies by our Lord Jesus Christ who said that
in the last days there will be many wolves in sheeps clothes, who
will deceive and be deceived.
Let we as an Orthodox Christians be careful about what kind of
books we read and keep our selves away from these and the similar
kind of poisonous teachings.
Let we be fully delivered by God's grace from being exposed to this
kind of faith tempting books by the Holy Prayers of The Theotokos
and all the Saints. Amen
