Going over some of the materials of the past I stumbled upon some of the materials I had been studying and some of the older notes. It is
actually quite amazing to see how my conversion last year came with a
completely renewed and different understanding of the Bible (if only
because there is no longer room for selective reading and use). One of
the things in my old journal regarded the New Age claim that:
Christianity can no longer answer the questions to out spiritual quest. Therefore Christianity will need to accept the teachings of other types of spirituality such as Eastern Spiritual
teachings (or as can be seen even pagan spirituality is being accepted
by some) in order to get a more comprehensive picture of the meaning of
life.
I remember well how I once was listening to a comedy artists that was interviewing Jesus. In the interview Jesus allegedly thought that if He
would come back and promote his same teachings that he would find many
Christians against him. Setting this remark of against the premise above
one could of course wonder whether or not Jesus as God in the flesh
would agree with the position that we ‘need to accept’ these different
teachings. Does – as is claimed by some (New Age teachers) –
Christianity indeed have gaps that can only be filled by other spiritual
traditions? Or to say it in other words, is there room to suggest that
Biblical teachings allow or even promote New Age syncretism?
