Schuller’s
“Religious Inclusivity”
In Schuller’s 2001 autobiography,
My Journey: From an Iowa Farm to a
Cathedral of Dreams, Schuller wrote:
“’As the century, as well as
the millennium, drew to a close, I was astounded to
see how much my perspective had shifted. In my early
years, my world was Sioux county, Iowa, and the Dutch
Reformed Church, but now I had a global awareness.
Going ‘somewhere’ from ‘nowhere’
had begun to take on a whole new meaning. I was
moving further and further into a mindset of
religious inclusivity. This was another
‘edge,’ to be sure – but I had by now
grown comfortable living on that edge. In fact, I
liked it!…
“’And I’m dreaming a
bold impossible dream: that positive thinking [note:
Remember Norman Vincent Peale’s Power of
Positive Thinking?] Believers in God will rise
above the illusions that our sectarian religions have
imposed on the world, and that leaders of the
major faiths will rise above doctrinal
idiosyncrasies, choosing not to focus on
disagreements, but rather to transcend
divisive dogmas to work together to bring peace and
prosperity and hope to the world.’”
[Schuller, My Journey, pp. 492, 502]
Schuller Attacks Sectarian
“Illusions,” and “Doctrinal
Idiosyncrasies,” Calling Upon All to
“Transcend Divisive Dogmas”
And now you see the essential
connection between pantheism and ecumenism. Notice
how Schuller speaks disparagingly of the
“illusions that our sectarian religions have
imposed on the world.” Was Martin Luther driven
by “illusions?” That is what Schuller would
have you believe. What about the study of John Knox
and the Scottish covenanters who stood up for their
faith against the king’s dragoons? Was that an
illusion? Now you can see that Satan is driving this
kind of evil disparagement of the great men of God
who launched the Protestant Reformation. What about
William Miller? In addition, is the seventh-day
Sabbath a “doctrinal idiosyncrasy” to
Schuller? And then Schuller calls for all to
“transcend” “divisive dogmas.”
Clearly, none other than the New Age Christ is
driving the purpose of Schuller.
Loaded
Language
The New Age laden terms being used to
introduce pantheism are “Transcend,”
“Force,” “Daring,”
“Enlarge,” “Dream,” “Think
globally; act locally,” “Passion,”
“Purpose,” “Oneness,” etc.
Neale Donald Walsch and his New Age
‘God’ are proposing a 5-Step PEACE Plan to
help “transcend” the differences.
New
Age PEACE Plan Introduced One Year After 9/11
New
Age P.E.A.C.E. Plan Advanced After 9/11
“One year after the events of
September 11th, 2001, New Age leader Neale
Donald Walsch’s new Book The New Revelations:
A Conversation with God was published. In this
book, Walsch announced that ‘God’ was now
offering humanity an opportunity to avert
self-destruction and achieve world peace by accepting
the principles of New Age Spirituality. Walsch
explained that ‘God’ was proposing a
post-September 11th ‘PEACE Plan’
that would help to bring the world’s widely
varying religions and belief systems closer together.
Walsch’s ‘God’ was calling his PEACE
Plan ‘The Five Steps to Peace.’ And both
Walsch and his ‘God’ were citing Robert
Schuller as the kind of
‘extraordinary minister’ who could help
make the PEACE Plan and the New Age Spirituality
work for everyone.
Walsch’s New Age “God”
Quotes Schuller’s “Self-Esteem: The New
Reformation” And Suggests a Universal Standard
“Walsch’s ‘God’
quoted a statement that Schuller had made in his 1982
book, Self-Esteem: The New Reformation. [Note:
The reader may recall how the message of
“self-esteem” swept through the churches
including the Structure in the 1980s after Schuller
wrote this book.] Schuller had written that
‘theologians must have their international,
universal, transceedal, transcultural, transracial
standard.’ [Neale Donald Walsch, the New
Revelations: A Conversation with God, p. 282;
Robert H. Schuller, Self-Esteem: The New
Reformation, p. 38] Walsch’s
‘God’ suggested that this universal
standard be the statement: ‘We Are All
One.’ [Walsch, op. cit., 282].” Warren
Smith, p. 59.
Here is the New Age reinforcement of
Rome’s alignment of all religions behind herself
in a war against the last remnants of true
Protestantism in the Culture War, propounded by Peter
Kreeft, a professor at the Jesuit Boston College in
1996 in his Ecumenical Jihad and again in
another book, How to Win the Culture War, in
2002.
Rome’s Culture War, which has
captured the White House, the House of
Representatives and the Senate, and now the Supreme
Court, with the appointment of Justices Roberts and
Alito, is the political/religious arm of the movement
of alignment behind Rome.
Walsch is providing the New Age
dimension of pantheistic spiritualism. It is a
gathering of the same elements that drove Nazi
Germany – Rome, the Occult, the Jesuits, New
Age, and Eastern Religions, all over again –
only this time on a far more sophisticated and global
basis.
“Transcending”
Belief Systems
In The New Revelations: Conversations
With God Walsch warns that:
“The world is in trouble. Bigger
trouble than it has ever been in before.
“This book provides an
explanation of the crisis we are facing in a way that
not only clarifies the crisis, but clarifies how to
resolve it….
“This is a life-altering book. It
contains New Revelations. It provides the tools with
which to pull ourselves out of despair, lifting the
whole human race to a new level of experience, to a
new understanding of itself, to a new expression of
its grandest vision.” [Walsch, vii, viii.]
New Age Call to “Transcend”
Beliefs – Modify and Enlarge, Combine
“Old” and “New”
‘’God told Walsch that
people are not being terrorized by other people. They
are being terrorized by other people’s
‘beliefs.’ [Walsch, p. 38]. In language and
a tone reminiscent of the serpent in the Garden of
Eden, Walsch’s ‘God’ explained that people
don’t have to change their individual beliefs;
they just need to ‘transcend’ them. He
said that ‘transcending’ does not mean that
you have to abandon your beliefs completely, but
rather just modify and ‘enlarge’ them.
‘’ Transcending’ does
not mean always being ‘other than,’ it
means always being ‘larger than.’ Your new,
larger belief system will no doubt retain some of the
old – that part of the old belief system
that you experience as still serving you – and
so it will be a combination of the new and the
old, not a rejection of the old from top to
bottom.’ [Walsch, p. 8].” Warren Smith,
60. (Emphasis mine)
Structure
Is Combining “Old” With “New”
This is exactly and precisely what is
happening to the Structure. Certain co-operating
ministries provide evangelists who still put forward
the “old” belief system, the 28 Fundamental
Beliefs [along with their problems] are still in
place, while meanwhile the belief system of the
Structure is being enlarged to take in Jesuit
Spiritual Formation training, Spiritual Directors,
Schuller’s self-esteem,” Rick Warren’s
“purpose Driven Life,” the New Age,
occultic Message bible, Celebration, NLP, youth
ministries Teilhardian pantheism and
universalism. On and on we could go. New
Age Spirituality is defining what is happening in the
Structure belief system which has now
‘transcended” the old belief system which
was “other than.”
John
Paul II Had the Same Concept
Pope John Paul II propounded the same
concept as described by Malachi Martin in The Keys
of This Blood.
“The Provincial Globalists (which
includes Seventh-day Adventists) of our age are
destined to undergo a series of severe shocks and
mutations as, they adapt themselves to the new
globalism emanating from the powerful groups. There
is no way that any of them will be able to maintain
itself in any vibrancy and progressive strength unless
it allows-or suffers-its provincialism to be enlarged
beyond the confines it traditionally observed. Individuals
among them may for a while maintain themselves within
those confines. However, inevitably, as groups they
will have to face dire alternatives. Either
they will become thoroughly and realistically
globalized and therefore capable of collaborating in
the building of a geopolitical structure. Or, as
groups, they will remain in place, diminish in
numbers and influence, and finally lose their
identity as operative parts in a new world
order.” –Malachi martin, Keys of
This Blood, 291, 292.
God’s people, however, have a
means of comprehending what is going on. It is called
prophecy, and it is being fulfilled before our
very eyes in a most shocking manner.
What the pope propounded in the 1980s,
what Rome organized in the 1990s with Ecumenical
Jihad, and what New Age has advanced in 2002, is now
being implemented in all the denominations worldwide.
New
Age Plan of “Adding To” Belief Systems
Walsch’s “God” advised
that most people couldn’t and shouldn’t
abandon all their beliefs because it would make
everything suddenly seem ‘wrong.’ It
would make their scriptures and traditions seem
wrong. It would make their lives seem wrong.
‘God’ told Walsch:
“’ In fact, you
don’t have to declare that you were
‘wrong’ about everything, because you
weren’t. You simply didn’t have a complete
understanding. You needed more information.
“Transcending current beliefs is
not an outright rejection of them; it is an ‘adding
to’ them.
“Now that you have more
information that you can add to what you presently
believe, you can enlarge your beliefs-not
completely reject them, enlarge them-and move on
with your lives in a new way.
A way that works.’ [Walsch, p. 9]
New Spirituality Necessitates “A
Willingness To Compromise” And “Give
Up” Most Sacredly Held Beliefs
“But then there is a
‘catch.’ Walsch’s New Age
‘God’ warned that the New Spirituality
would necessitate a willingness to compromise.
To achieve world peace, people will have to sincerely
dialogue about their perceived differences and
perhaps even ‘give up’ some of their most
sacredly held beliefs. ‘God’ explained to
Walsch:
‘’ It will take an
unprecedented act of courage, on a grand scale. You
may have to do something virtually unknown in the
annuls of human history…
“’ You may have to give
up some of your most sacred beliefs.’
[Walsch, 175] (Emphasis mine)
New
Age: “Self-centered” Belief in a Personal
Savior Not conductive to World Peace
“Walsch’s ‘God’
explained that in the near future established
religions may still retain the general nature of
their individual identities. However, he severely
warned that a ‘self-centered’ and
‘exclusivistic’ belief in a personal Savior
would not be conducive to a world seeking peace and
harmony. In other words, he was telling Christians
that, in the days of the New Spirituality, Jesus can
be your friend but not your Lord and Savior. In a
statement that should sober every Christian believer
on the face of the earth, Walsch’s
‘God’ warned:
“Yet let me make something clear.
The era of the Single Savior is over. What is needed
now is joint action, combined effort, collective
co-creation.’ [Walsch, 157]. –Warren Smith,
61, 62, 63.
Walsch’s
“God:” Build a Bridge
“’God’ then described
his solution for how humanity can learn to live
together through ‘combined effort’ and
‘collective co-creation.’ By cleverly
removing the word ‘Age’ from ‘New Age
Spirituality,’ Walsch’s ‘God’
called his repackaged New Age solution the ‘New
Spirituality.’
“’ Not something to
completely replace the old, but something to refresh
it.
“’ Not something to reduce
the old, but something to expand it.
“’ Not something to subvert
the old, but something to support the best of it.
“’ It is now time to present
the world with new theological thoughts and ideas,
a new spiritual model.
“’ The world must have
something new to hold on to if it is to release
its grip on the old. If we were in the middle of
a raging stream, would you let go of a log?…
“’ Build, therefore, a
bridge.’
Walsch’s
“God” PEACE Plan
“Prior to directly suggesting
that Robert Schuller’s theology of self-esteem
could be the kind of ‘bridge’ that could
help humanity transition into the New Spirituality, Walsch’s
‘God’ formally presented his 5-Step PEACE
Plan. The PEACE Plan is the proposed spiritual
process that will help everyone move past
‘outmoded’ beliefs and prepare the way for
the New Spirituality…
THE FIVE STEPS TO PEACE
Permit ourselves to acknowledge that some
of our old beliefs about God and about life are no
longer working.
Explore the possibility that
there is something we do not understand about God and
about Life, the understanding of which could change
everything.
Announce that we are willing
for new understanding of God and life to now be
brought forth, understanding that could
produce a new way of life on this planet.
Courageously examine these new
understandings and, if they align with out personal
inner truth and knowing, to enlarge our
belief system to include them.
Express
our lives as demonstrations of our highest beliefs,
rather than as a denial of them. (Emphasis added)
