Belief
New Age
Manifestation, angel numbers, numerology, and tarot, set beside the Christian confession that God alone creates and reveals.
People use “New Age” for a loose set of practices: impressing thought on the world to obtain a result, reading repeating numbers as messages, and using cards or star charts for guidance. These pages quote a public-domain New Thought book that states the thought-creates-things claim, and they quote the Bible on creation and on divination.
What is the New Age movement? is the overview. Is manifesting a sin? quotes Wallace D. Wattles. Are angel numbers biblical? quotes Deuteronomy 18:10–1218:10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
18:11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
18:12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
Deuteronomy 18:10–12 · King James Version and Isaiah 47:13Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.
Isaiah 47:13 · King James Version.
Christians confess that the Word who was God made all things (John 1:1–31:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:1–3 · King James Version) and that Jesus is the way to the Father (John 14:6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 14:6 · King James Version). That confession is the Trinity and the deity of Christ.
