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

THE LORD HAS A MESSAGE FOR YOU




“The Lord said”, “The Lord has a message for you”, “The Lord placed this on my heart" or “I am sensing the Lord has a plan”… How often did we hear these crazy statements from the various self appointed prophetesses of the renewal? How dangerous is that!!! For sure, the majority of time there is no more risk involved than getting unsolicited advice from someone. Even so it is a sin to attribute human reasoning to the Holy Spirit. But sometimes these “prophetic” delusions really wrack havoc with people’s lives. There is a woman in our local prayer group who told me the following story. She and her husband joined the renewal in the sixties and were very active in the prayer group. They were told in some prophecy to sell their home to be ready to take off at a moment’s notice to do God’s work. That was thirty years ago and they are still waiting. The money from the sale of the house went a long time ago, they finished raising their family in rental housing, and they got too old to go anywhere. They will never own another home as long as they live.

St. John of the Cross has warned us to flee from seeking out these kinds of manifestations: " I greatly fear what is happening in these times of ours: If any soul whatever after a bit of meditation has in its recollection one of these locutions, it will immediately baptize all as coming from God and with such a supposition say, 'God told me,' 'God answered me.' Yet this is not so, but, as we pointed out, these persons themselves are more often the origin of their locution." (The Ascent of Mount Carmel. Book II Ch. 29)

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.
