New Spirituality

The New Spirituality’s mission, (this according to the mission statement of "the New Spirituality
Network" http://www.newspirituality.org/ ) is to “celebrate a God who loves us unconditionally and who supports us in everything we do — a God who's needless, nonjudgmental, non-condemning, non-punishing, ever-changing and everywhere present.”

Apparently, if you are the type to think the old God is needy, judgmental, condemning, punishing, unchanging and takes up his residence in a place called heaven until invited into your heart, they are hoping you will become their mission field and hop on into their net, er,,eh.. network. This is because the New Spirituality, whatever it is and wherever it is found, is also a unified religion that explicitly embraces beliefs and practices deemed of occult nature by The old, unchanging, God who loves mankind and judges sin, and who , by the way, is omnipresent but not in a pantheistic, "new spirituality," way.

The “New Spirituality” takes various shapes, often mocking Judaism, and mimicking Christianity and it also freely uses biblical sounding words and quotes verses of Hebrew or Christian scriptures, but it rejects it at the core. These new thinking, spiritually minded individuals gather people together in a group, like a church, and they work really hard to move the ancient boundary stones set in place by God. Seeking to create their own "religion" they choose instead to completely reject the wisdom of the old, and have no root in it at all.

They say, “We will not walk in the old outdated ways.” (Like Jeremiah told in 6:16) The form a a “network” and use group mentality to spread their net and catch whoever willing to join their hgroup... as they move the boundaries of God. (As warned by Hosea in Hosea 5:1,10) What they do not know is that God’s commandments do not simply become null and void because one simply chooses to ignore them, or because someone sits down and writes a mission statement in order to invent a new spiritual sounding form of religion based on human likes, dislikes, feelings and perceptions.

Popularized in America by celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, books like a NEw Earth by Eckhart Tolle, and preachers like Neal David Walsche, it's a new pirituality that celebrates, not a God who dies in our place to save us from sin and death, but rather, one we invent for ourselves, " a God who loves us unconditionally and who supports us in everything we do.”

It's the stroke of a very broad brush that paints that word there: "everything."
