Last August, and the months leading up to Glenn Beck’s I was told how Glenn is leading American “back to God” and how bold it was for a man to talk about God and the Bible.
My response was “which god?” Which god is Glenn leading America too, and if it is not the God of the Bible, then is that really a good thing? The answer, of course, is no. It is not good that American turns to a god and becomes more religious. Would it be better for America to turn from a god of pleasure to a god of legalistic bondage? Or a god of self-interest to a god of patriotism, if they are all false gods? It would be like Israel forsaking the golden calf to worship a golden cat. The only difference would be the presentation.
I used to watch a show when I was a kid called “Mr. Cartoon” and Mr. Cartoon would sign off every day saying “go to the church or synagogue of your choice”. That was the message of 8-28. That whatever truth you come to, that is your truth and hold to that. That is the age we live in; we can have our own "truth" and our truths can be different and even opposite. In the real world, truth cannot contradict itself. 2+2=4, that is an axiom of truth. It doesn't matter how much you want 2+2=5 to be right, and how much you believe it in your heart to be right, it is wrong. There is one God, and one way to God, and it doesn't matter how much you want in your heart to believe that your god is the right god and your way is the right way, it is still WRONG and false if you do not come to God, through faith in Jesus Christ.
I was told and I read how Mr. Beck was a Christian, and he really knows the Christian doctrines and that he wasn’t really a Mormon, in belief, he just didn’t know it. How that Glenn didn’t hold to Mormon doctrine and that once he grows, he’ll leave. On and on.
Your “higher self” and “I am that I am…use it to create who you want to be, I am _____” (2:44).
I’ll not give the link to where I find this definition as I don’t want to send any traffic to their damnable website, but here is a new age cultist speaking on what “higher self” means.
What is your Higher Self?
There are many great words to describe Who or What your highest identity or Self truly is. Below are just a few:
* Higher Self
* I Am Presence
* I Am That I Am
* Pure Being
* Love
* Spirit
* Essence of Life
* Cosmic Consciousness
* Universal Mind
* The Tao
* God
*Christ
* Holy Spirit
And the list goes on...
Depending upon your spiritual path, background, or religious influence, you may be attracted to one or more of these terms. Ultimately, these words are only ideas that point to the unlimited and infinite nature of your True Self. In the end, it does not matter which words you use. It is directly experiencing your Higher Self that you ultimately seek in your heart.
Now that we know what he is urging you to be (your own god), still think that he is a Christian? He is a dangerous man, not because of his political leanings. In fact, I am a conservative and would agree with a lot of his political stances. No, because there is something much more important that this Republic. The soul.
There is only one I AM that I AM, and that is the God of the Bible, Jehovah, Jesus Christ Lord of Glory. There is only one way of salvation, and that is in Jesus Christ through repentant faith, by His marvelous graces, trusting in the His shed blood on the Cross to wash yours sins, that you are forgiven and justified by the receiving Christ Jesus as Saviour.
We are not our own gods, we have no “higher self”. Here is our higher self.
Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
The Hebrew word translated “filthy” is literally defined “menstruation”. That is our “higher self”. We are sinners, impure, rebellious, vile in the sight of a Holy God, and we dare rise up and use His name to “create”? We DARE speak of the god within us? There is nothing in us but a sinful, wicked deceitful heart.
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes. (Romans 3:10-18)
Be careful, and don’t be deceived. The little comments like “higher self” are not expounded, they are just slipped in every now and then. Over and over, you’ll hear things like that, until it starts to sink in, this is how false teachers operate. Do you think it is a coincidence? Why did he want to go and talk to Billy Graham? Why would he talk about Billy Graham and sign off with being your own little god? To deceive. To co-opt a Christian name and ministry and attach it to his new age pot luck religion.
