charismatic heresy

UNMASKING THE CHARISMATIC HERESY "For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity, will accumulate teachers and will stop listening to the truth and will be diverted to myths" 2 Timothy 4:3-4 - "False messiahs and false prophets will arise and will perform signs and wonders in order to mislead, if that were possible, the elect" Mark 13: 22 - "The smoke of Satan has entered the Church" Pope Paul VI

HEALING OF MEMORIES



Healing of Memories through visualization/guided imagery is popular at “Life in the Spirit” Seminars and Charismatic Conferences. The method is the offshoot of Freudian and Jungian theories; to turn people away from God to the self. It is not a new concept however; visualization has been used by shamans, witchdoctors, and sorcerers for thousands of years. To conjure up the image of Jesus as a type of spirit guide in order to forgive the person who supposedly caused us hurt and then to alter the event contradicts the tenets of our Catholic faith.

Healing of Memories is based on the idea that we need something more than God’s love and forgiveness in order to love and to forgive others. Since we know that Jesus can never be called-up and forced to perform at our command, any “Jesus” visualized would have to be a demon spirit and not God. That is the danger of visualization; people are taught to experiment with things that God repeatedly condemned in both the Old and the New Testaments. And exposure to the occult can lead people into far more serious trouble than they ever dreamed possible.

About Me

I am a recovering charismatic and a Catholic Orthodox; observing orthopraxis to the best of my ability. I acknowledge what the Church REALLY DOES TEACH; opposed to what some people erroneously say the Church teaches. “Catholic Orthodoxy” is proposed "to conform to the Catholic faith as taught by the Magisterium of the Church. So an "orthodox" person is one who is FAITHFUL to the teachings of the Church, whereas a "heterodox" person is somebody who rejects ANY Catholic dogma. Orthopraxis means "Performing the correct actions". Catholic Orthodoxy is defined by the Catechism: it tells us what we have to TO BELIEVE. Catholic Orthopraxis is denoted by the Code of Canon Law: it spells out what we have TO DO. Because “Truth is not determined by a majority vote" -- Pope Benedict XVI.
