First of all, listed here are a pair of dictionary definitions of the word ‘mystic’ and mysticism. The first definitions are from Collins English Dictionary and the next set of definitions are from The Concise Oxford Dictionary: “mystic: to a thriller to magic formula spiritual rites symbolical of religious truth peculiar – n one who believes in mysticism one who seeks to have direct get in touch with with the divine by way of religious ecstasy and contemplation. Mysticism: the doctrine of the mystics who look for immediate communion with God examine of the spiritual experience obscurity of doctrine hence mystification. Mystic: one. Spiritually allegorical occult esoteric of hidden meaning mysterious mysterious and awe-inspiring. two. A single who seeks by contemplation and self-surrender to obtain union with or absorption into the deity, or who believes in non secular apprehension of truths outside of the comprehension, therefore mysticism n.”
Now just before I commence I would like to suggest to you a study of my modern report below at Ezines entitled: “What is THE Secret of Thriller Babylon The Excellent?” in purchase to obtain a new sense of what THE Mystery is. Mysticism, whether or not Christian or normally, is other issues as well, but the over report will give you new understanding with regards to the origins of every little thing mysterious, ministerial, and mystical.
Okay, again to people dictionary definitions and, straight away, we can see that there seems to be a contradiction in these definitions or there are two meanings to the very same word. What are they? Very first we have a url to the occult and the esoteric which, as we know, is the function of the Satan. Then we have “symbolical of religious fact,” not Non secular Reality appropriate, but only non secular symbolism. Nonetheless, when we search more closely there truly usually are not two meanings and there is no contradiction at all. In purchase to prove what I am saying, is accurate, we need to be capable to recognize the give away signs in these two definitions that expose mystics for what they are and, expose mysticism for what it is – the functions of The Satan.
Now which is a rather generalised condemnatory statement is it not? Oh indeed, and I can almost hear so called mystics, and people of the ‘consciousness movement’, howling in disbelief at my statement and nicely they may well, but that does not change the reality that what I am stating is The Fact. How can I be so positive? Straightforward, all that’s involved is just one particular phrase that gives them all away the phrase ‘seek’ or one particular who ‘seeks’ direct communion with a god. This is normal esoterical, consciousness based, New Age nonsense and/or in its Cainite-Judeo-Christian Religious form – monasticism or monastic Catholic/Orthodox quasi-Christian mumbo jumbo. This is them putting their foot in it without having even realising what they are expressing and carrying out. It’s just one more illustration of the ‘tail wagging the dog’ situation in their self initiated or self induced non secular connection with a god that they believe is God. Baptism (full immersion) into Yashua Anointed’s (The Lord Jesus Christ’s) identify alone and the present of The Holy Spirit will not occur into it.
Here is a concern: If, when we are born of God (Born Yet again) and The Holy Spirit makes a everlasting house with us, why do we then have to go ‘seeking’ God in purchase to be in communion or interaction with Him. Why do we have to sit in contemplation (what ever that implies) for hours on finish in get to talk with God. Below is what Yashua Anointed (The Lord Jesus Christ) mentioned on this issue:
John fourteen:18 I will not go away you comfortless: I will arrive to you. 19 But a minor although, and the entire world seeth me no a lot more but ye see me: due to the fact I dwell, ye shall dwell also. twenty At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
There it is in black and white, Yashua Anointed (The Lord Jesus Christ) is in us through His Holy Spirit, and He also states categorically that He will arrive to us, not the other way spherical or us looking for Him. Now, if this is the situation, and we know that it is because Yashua Anointed stated so Himself, why do these mystics feel the need to have to seek out God and which god are they looking for in ignorance? When they say and do these things, what are they telling us? Well that’s simple to reply too they are telling us they’re a bunch of deluded con-artists, charlatans, phonies and/or tricksters. If they are looking for a god, it tells us immediately that Yashua Anointed (The Lord Jesus Christ) has not created His property with them, so they are devoid of The Holy Spirit – it’s as straight forward as that. As a born of God (Born Yet again) son of God I will not have to seek out Yashua Anointed (The Lord Jesus Christ), He’s right below with me 24/7, even as I am producing this write-up to you now, so what are these mystic kinds on about?
We will solution that by returning to the first queries: what are mystics and what do they do? Or, another query could be, what is their agenda? The responses to these inquiries are all extremely straightforward and the least difficult way to solution them is to reveal what mystics are not and what mysticism just isn’t.
Is there anyway mystics can be of the Godhead for there are people who get in touch with them selves Christian Mystics and who believe there is this sort of a thing as Christian Mysticism? Are christian mysticism of Yashua Anointed or just silly deceived individuals? Here is a clue: mystics ‘contemplate’ mainstream Christians have their ‘quiet times’ where they ‘try and get closer to God’. Place the distinction, if you can.
Are Mystics Sciptural? Properly yes and no is the answer to this question. I say no since the phrases ‘mystic’, ‘mystics’ and ‘mysticism’ are not written in The Holy Scriptures. There is no point out of them by that title in the Holy Scriptures within the King James Bible – none, but are they in there somewhere, by one more title, I listen to you ask? Oh of course, they are in there alright!! Alright, so if they’re in there, but not by that identify, how do we know how to discover them? Effortless, wherever The Holy Scriptures demonstrates their shenanigans at operate i.e. mystical or magical actions, normally acknowledged as sorceries, we can then determine them. It truly is that straightforward. Below is an example:
Exodus seven:10-twelve And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as The LORD had commanded: and Aaron solid down his rod prior to Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it turned a serpent. eleven Then Pharaoh also named the wise males and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like method with their enchantments. twelve For they cast down every single guy his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.
Right here we can see the Power of God in motion and the futility of the actions of these sorcerers with their mystical tricks and it is mystical tricks that are their identifying symptoms. My title for them is “tricksters” and we can see the tricksters in action once again in the Holy Scriptures only this time in King Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylon:
Daniel 2:two Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans (philosophers), for to shew the king his goals. So they came and stood ahead of the king.
Below in Daniel we have the tale of King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream for which he phone calls on all his mystical gentlemen to interpret. The difficulty is, with no the King supplying them some concept of what the desire is about, they are at a reduction and can not interpret it. God’s Energy, by means of Daniel and his revelation of the desire, once more, displays up the sorcerers for what they are – phonies, charlatans and tricksters. Remember to read through the relaxation of this useful intriguing story in Daniel two.
So listed here we can plainly see these mystics had been quite energetic in historical times as they nonetheless are to this working day. All the heathen nations with their futile pagan mystery religions of this world (age or method) have mystics, shamans, sorcerers, magicians, enchanters, soothsayers, astrologers, witch-medical professionals, snake charmers, hypnotists, fortune tellers (fake prophets) Tarot card readers, palmists, practitioners of levitation, practitioners of voodoo, practitioners of divination (water diviners), mediums, necromancers or spiritualists. We could even include performers of the Indian rope trick and now we have come complete circle and returned to the mystical term: ‘tricks’.
As I was declaring before, all these folks are tricksters and they’re tricksters who use adverse non secular powers (demons) in purchase to deceive and impress naïve and gullible people. There is even a Cainite-Judeo-Christian Religious organisation that employs and makes use of tips continually in buy to deceive their thousands and thousands of adherents and the Holy Scriptures makes mention of them. Paul refers to this entire spiritual company as “THE Secret OF INIQUITY” and we all need to have to be informed of what this ‘mystery’ is, for it contains mysticism i.e. all the tips in the guide:
The shell recreation trinity god of now you see one particular, oops, no it is not, it really is now morphed into 3 ‘Holy’ waters that supposedly mend relics or ineffective heaps of old bones, stone statues that weep, stone photos of a ‘Jesus’ that bleed in the palms of their fingers and people who have visions of a female whom they believe is Mary, but in actuality are demons taking part in methods and displaying the mythical queen of heaven – Ishtar/Ashtoreth etc. and so on. and so on. – all manner of issues that the Holy Scriptures call “lying miracles” or false miracles.
2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the Secret OF INIQUITY doth previously operate: only he who now letteth will enable, till he be taken out of the way. eight And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall eat with The Spirit of His mouth, and shall wipe out with the brightness of His Coming: nine Even him, whose coming is following the operating of Satan with all power and indicators and lying wonders.
There it is, residing Scriptural proof exposing the mystical tricksters for what they are – servants of the Devil. It’s time to wake up to their deceptions and lying miracles folks, for Satan is the arch-deceiver whose vicars, ministers and monks pose as ministers of mild:
two Corinthians eleven:13 For this kind of are false apostles, deceitful personnel, transforming themselves into the apostles (messengers) of Christ. fourteen And no marvel for Satan himself is reworked into an angel of mild. 15 Therefore it is no fantastic thing if his ministers also be reworked as the ministers of righteousness whose stop shall be in accordance to their functions.
