Comingfrom:
So too the verses which speak of the New Age? which I presented above.
The Bible doesn't speak in a positive light about junk from the NAM... OK, you have stones/crystals etc mentioned in Revelation but does ANY of it talk about healing from stones, meditating with stones etc? NAM/occult... all the same. The new age junk is pulled from occult junk. Yeah, I had my crystals for healing & and all that dumb junk but you know... not there anymore. NAM/occult doesn't bring Jesus IN to the equation. You're talking to an ex-dabbler. The two new age shops I remember, maybe 1 or 2 books on Jesus and none were anything Biblical either... oh yeah and that dumb movie... I actually do still have it... but don't believe any of it anymore... 'The Lost Years of Jesus' that CLAIMED (keyword 'claimed') Jesus studied with yogis etc... no, that's junk.
This is all old shyte, isn't it?
Egyptians believed in the power of pyramids long before Jesus came into the world.
Crystals and talismans and all that stuff are older than Adam.
Black Opal is a product of God.
The difference is worshiping creation vs the Creator! Oh yes, clear quartz for healing, opal for psychic junk, pyrite.. shoot, forgot what that was for... don't really care anymore.
Your NAM days were your superstition + days. image
I'm glad you're over it.
My NAM days we said, Love, peace and brown rice
and we beamed each other broad smiles
on our way to see St Francis with flowers in our hair.
There were a lot of gentle people there.

Are you able to look God-ward, for His renewal?
Come on, new age shops cover EVERYTHING... not just obvious occult junk like tarot, iching, etc but also yoga, meditation... religions from India... like junk that was in 'Out On a Limb'... I'm not there anymore.
