Must Read: ‘Reinventing Jesus Christ’

EVERYONE needs to read this free book written by Warren Smith called ‘Reinventing Jesus Christ.’ It tackles the New Age movement and its architect, its false prophets and its false gospel. If you don’t want to be deceived by the work Satan is surely bringing about (and has been fine tuning for decades), it is imperative that you read this FREE book. Even if you’ve read it already, reading it again certainly won’t hurt (Smith also has updates)…especially considering current events. Here are some excerpts of particular note (although all of the information provided in the book is vital).

From the Introduction of ‘Reinventing Jesus Christ’ by Warren Smith:

In 1992 I wrote a book about my experiences in the metaphysical “new age” movement. The book was entitled The Light That Was Dark. I wrote the book because I wanted to warn people about the incredibly deceptive teachings of the “new age.” From my own experience I knew just how powerfully seductive the spirit world is and how appealing its false teachings can be.

At the end of my book I warned that Christian believers were becoming involved in some of these same teachings and deceptions. Spiritual deception is not just something that happens to unbelievers.

The apostle Paul went to great lengths to warn the Corinthians not to be deceived by a “Jesus” that wasn’t Jesus Christ the Son of God, a spirit that wasn’t the Holy Spirit and a gospel that was not the true biblical Gospel (2 Corinthians 11:4).

Throughout the New Testament, believers are continually warned not to be deceived by spiritual teachings and experiences that are not from God. Jesus Christ specifically warned his disciples that spiritual deception would be a sign of the end (Matthew 24:3–4).

Today it is very sad to see so many believers falling under the influence of the same spirit that influenced me when I was in the “new age.” This spirit says that it is a time for “breakthroughs” and for the fulfillment of our “destiny”; that there is something “new” and exciting in the wind. This teaching claims that we are in the midst of a great “transition” that will result in a “paradigm shift,” and that through “new revelation” and “personal experience” God is in the process of taking the church to a “new dimension” and to a whole “new level.”

Many Christian leaders these days are so sure that what they are hearing and experiencing is from God, they are rarely testing the spirits, or even considering the possibility that they are being deceived.

The first century Bereans tested their leaders and tested their teachings as they “searched the scriptures daily” to see “whether those things were so”(Acts17:11). Apostles, prophets, pastors, and teachers were always subject to God’s holy Word. “New revelation” never nullified nor superseded scripture.

The Bereans were not impressed by supernatural power and spiritual experiences that had not been tested by the Word of God. They did not depend on signs and wonders and miracles. They depended on the authority and reliability and trustworthiness of Scripture: All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. (2 Timothy 3:16)

According to the “new gospel,” Christ is not a person. It is an office. The “new gospel”teaches that while Jesus of Nazareth occupied the office during His active ministry, He no longer holds that same position. Today the office of “Christ” is occupied by someone else. And this “someone else” is presently in the process of establishing contact with humanity.

This “Christ” intimates that he is already in the world awaiting mankind’s call. “Concerned” that humanity is in peril and facing possible extinction, this “Christ” explains that his “new gospel” will unify the world’s major religions and bring peace to the world. He has communicated these “new gospel” teachings to his designated teachers, who in turn are now conveying these same teachings to the rest of the world.

This “reinvented” Christ of the “new gospel” teaches that all of humanity is the body of Christ. He, as the “Christ,” is the head. This “Christ” states humanity’s dilemma is that we have forgotten who we are. We are not “sinners” separate from God. We are all part of the one body of Christ and the one body of God. Salvation does not come by grace from accepting Jesus Christ as the Son of God. Rather it is achieved — when we accept ourselves as Christ and when we accept ourselves as God.

The “new gospel” teaches that when humanity collectively accepts and experiences itself as being a part of Christ and a part of God, we not only save ourselves, we save our world. The “Christ” of the “new gospel” warns that the hour is late. Peace must come. He will help. He has a plan. But everyone must play their part.

With “new revelation,” often accompanied by direct personal spiritual experience, people are being taught that because they are a part of God they are actually “at one” with God and all creation. This “new gospel” teaches when people have what is described as their “God potential” or “Christ within” supernaturally “activated,” they actually experience themselves as a part of the “one body” of God which is all mankind.

As these same people unite and join together in remembering and experiencing their “oneness” with God and with each other, they feel they are doing the “work” that is necessary to prepare the way for Christ’s return.

The Need For Discernment

Unfortunately, undiscerning Christian leaders have not adequately exposed these “new gospel” teachings and, as a result, the spirit behind the “new gospel” has entered the Church. The Bible warns us not to be ignorant of our adversary’s schemes and devices so that we will not fall prey to his deceptive traps (“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us:for we are not ignorant of his devices.” 2 Corinthians 2:11). Scripture also tells us that while “it is a shame” we even have to talk about these things, it is important that we expose them and bring them to the light (Ephesians 5:11–13).

Because of my own involvement with “new age/new gospel” teachings, and in light of the many Scriptures warning us not to be deceived and urging us to expose deception, I will attempt to update believers on the accelerated spiritual deception that has been taking place. Hopefully, by providing a general survey of this “new gospel” deception, believers will be more discerning when — in the form of prophetic “new revelations” — these same teachings try to move into their lives and into their churches.

–‘Reinventing Jesus Christ’ by Warren Smith

Please, folks, do yourself a major favor and educate yourself about Satan’s plans for this world and the agents he is using. Consider the information you read in light of Oprah’s ‘New Earth’ seminars/classes. Consider the information in light of what is predicted to be one of the worse economic disasters to hit the United States.

Anyone that denies that Jesus Christ is the Son of GOD and the Messiah, Savior of this world, he is a liar and a satan.

WAKE UP, CHURCH! WAKE UP! WE ARE ALREADY IN THE THICK OF IT…
