I believe it important that both believers and unbelievers understand the difference between the teaching of Eckhart Tolle and Christianity. Here's a brief post to introduce you to a few of the significant differences. (Note, I've just been exposed to Tolle, but it doesn't seem to take long to discern the differences) Context (the problem)Taken from here .: Despite Oprah and Eckhart's reduction of Christianity to but one "way" amongst many other equally legitimate ways to God, and their calling Christ a "revolutionary" who has been misunderstood by the Church, and who simply came to manifest "Christ-consciousness", a quick search through the internet reveals that many Christians are following Oprah in attempting to fuse together the teachings of Eckhart, and the doctrines of the historical Christian church.

This is an example of the tyranny that is on the rise against Christianity in America. It is coming from the political left one small step at the time.
ReplyDeleteOur founding fathers came to America to establish liberty and freedom of religion. They were careful to set up a system of government that allowed for three equal branches of government. We do not have a king or a monarchy and we do have the freedom to dissent. This includes the right to oppose leaders that we disagree with. This is guaranteed by our constitution!
I am puzzled as to why so many Christians are not only too timid to exercise their right to oppose the left and the power they now have, but they feel they have an obligation to pray for the success of these very elected leaders that are ever more boldly attempting to destroy our liberty. I DO NOT GET IT. If our forefathers came to this country and suffered to establish liberty, the least we can do is oppose the political leaders in this country who are trying to destroy it. This includes praying that they are not successful in their liberty destroying schemes and will be replaced in the next election by leaders that are concerned about our freedom of religion. Our prayers should be for the encouragement and success of leaders in America that are opposing this tyranny. I have yet to hear a single prayer for the loyal opposition to the leftists that now control every branch of our government. However, I regularly hear prayers for these leftist leaders that are methodically destroying the very liberties that our forefathers established. It is perfectly alright to pray that God will change their minds, but until he does, we should pray that they are unsuccessful in their agendas and they will be thrown out of office in the next election………….
