Miracles

Although I commented on "A Course In Miracles" before (see my post for 12/27/07), I am again being asked about this program which I am told is being aired on XM radio's "Oprah and Friends."

Here's a quote: "A Course in Miracles is allegedly “new revelation” from “Jesus” to help humanity work through these troubled times. This “Jesus”—who bears no doctrinal resemblance to the Bible’s Jesus Christ—began delivering his channeled teachings in 1965 to a Columbia University Professor of Medical Psychology by the name of Helen Schucman."

I am convinced that people are looking for a "new revelation" because they have such a problem with the "old" revelation. Sin does that to a fellow. It makes us want the things of Earth more than the things of Heaven. If we can just get "Jesus" to lighten up, get past this insistence on holiness (which is provided by God as a free gift through faith in Jesus Christ), and get on with the "pleasures of sin for a season," we would be much happier. If you're happy knowing that sin, when it comes to harvest brings death, go for it. If you're interested in finding eternal life in the presence of Jehovah God, you'd best stick with the "old" Jesus.

Romans 3:11 says "no one seeks for God." But we see folks who call themselves "seekers" all the time, don't we? Yes, they are seeking, alright--they're seeking an alternative to the true God who revealed his deity and omnipotence to them (Romans 1:18-23) and revealed his law in their pagan little hearts (Romans 2:14-16).

Likewise, in that they look for "new revelation," they look for anything but the true revelation.
