What is Christ consciousness?

Christ consciousness or Krishna consciousness are exactly the same things. They come from the world of new age spirituality which really has no set doctrine or orthodox teaching. In the new age anything goes. There is a heavy emphasis on angels and reincarnation, and in most new age cults they practise some form of meditation. You will hear about gurus, liberation and emancipation and karma. Or you could hear anything from aliens, to animal spirits to earth worship and sacrifice. They say that Krishna consciousness or Christ consciousness is the goal of meditation, usually transcendental meditation. Most cults have stopped using drugs to produce an ecstasy or ecstatic high that they call bliss that drives them deeper and deeper into the world of the occult.

It is not satanism, there is no worship of Satan, in fact they will tell you that they are free and are worshipping God. But the bible says to test the spirits to see if in fact they are of God. With no theology they practically rely on subjective experience to authenticate their teachings. Yes the new age has teachings, they have lots and lots of teachings but they are all different depending where you worship.

Christ consciousness, is not like the presence of God Christians experience, in fact it is a totally subjective experience. Kind of like a ride a Canada's Wonderland if you were the only person on the ride and had to explain it to others. That's what Krishna consciousness is like and pretty much everything in the new age movement. Totally subjective, with no objective moral truth or absolute truth to back up the experiences and teachings. Here is your ticket, enjoy the ride.

Catholic Identity.

I was born into the Catholic Church and was baptized as an infant, I had my first communion and reconciliation as a child, and was confirmed as a teenager. Although I was never devout, I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour when I was 21 through an evangelical Christian radio ministry, which in turn gave new life to my Catholic faith. Although I remained a Catholic, I identified as a born again Christian. It wasn’t until much later in my life that I learned the difference between the two denominations and what they taught about being born again. Regardless, there was a significant change in my life back then, which continues to this day. Being Catholic is much like an identity to me and I remember growing up under the papacy of St. Pope John Paul II. The culture I grew up in was largely affected by his papacy, and the way the culture viewed the church was significantly different from the way the current culture views it. Growing up, the pope didn’t try to be rele...

Age of Brokenness.

We are living in an age of brokenness, no matter what age you are, you probably have been touched with relationships falling apart, which causes more and more people to live in isolation. In this generation there is less of an incentive to heal and reconcile relationships, but that doesn’t excuse the amount of people who are broken. Why people don’t seem to be motivated to heal relationships is because our beliefs about faith and God have changed, really giving us less of an incentive to do what our religion says. If I act from my personal beliefs, but the person that I am responding to has abandoned religious beliefs, than the response to my wanting things to be better can be misinterpreted and rejected then by someone else. Generally when a society has expectations about broken relationships, loneliness and isolation, and the beliefs are generally accepted, society becomes a more compassionate society, because all value the same things. When religious values are undermined and ...

The Biblical Meaning of “Life in the Spirit.”

“Life in the Spirit” is an example that the Apostle Paul gives in the book of Romans starting in chapter 5 and going through to chapter 8. He begins by telling us we are justified by faith (5:1), and have gained access by faith into the grace of God (5:2). We have been delivered from God’s wrath (5:9) and we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son (5:10). He goes on to explain that through Adam all die (5:12), and that the free Gift of God brings justification and righteousness to the believing sinner (5:15-17). Through our conversion we are baptized into Christ and into his death, which frees us from the law and makes us dead to sin (6:2-4). He explains that just as Christ was raised from the dead, we are given new life in Christ (6:4). Our old unregenerate self was crucified with Christ so that our body of sin might be done away with (6:5-6). Because we have died to sin, we now submit ourselves to God being that we are now under grace, not the law (6:8-1...
