| SATAN'S PLAN
Note: Except for Samantha Smith's remark, all other quotes are by occultists. A. Christianity must embrace mysticism "Embracing the Cosmic Christ will demand a paradigm shift, and it will empower us for that shift; a shift ... from rationalism to mysticism" (Fox, p.134-135) B. Doctrines about the Bible rejected "The 'higher criticism,' to-day has destroyed the authority of the Christian Scriptures in their literal form, but has offered us nothing to replace that interpretation. We have to turn elsewhere ... (to) the various Theosophical Societies ... (and) in the ritual of Freemasonry..." (Kingsland, p.91-92) "The documents of the Bible itself, very far from being the inspired word of 'God', are exceedingly human documents; and - as Dr. Eisler says ... even the Gospels themselves were falsified in order to bring them into line with 'Orthodoxy'. They are full of errors, contradictions, unbelievable statements, and are replete with 'the precepts and doctrines of men'; not to mention errors of translation and re-translation." (Kingsland, p.36) C. Bible to be interpreted and taught allegorically, not literally "There always has been and ... always must be an exoteric doctrine for the masses, and esoteric teaching for those who - as Plotinus says - 'are fortunately able to perceive it'. But in fact these 'mysteries' cannot be stated in any language but that of allegory and symbolism ... and in a physical language which can only be symbolical, never literal." (Kingsland, p.26) "Paul ... speaks of 'false apostles, deceitful workers,' ... (2 Cor.xi.12) ... Must we not say, in deed, that all those teachers in the Church who still base their teachings on the literal word of the Scriptures belong to this class, and are simply 'blind leaders of the blind'." (Kingsland, p.84) "... what is known traditionally and historically as 'Christianity' consists of man-made dogmas based on a literal interpretation of those Scriptures, and not on their allegorical, mystical, and gnostic nature." (Kingsland, p.23) D. Christian doctrine to be changed "We have in the Modernist Movement some kind of attempt within the Church itself to bring Christian doctrines more into line with our modern knowledge and our modern concepts as to the nature of Man and the Universe in which he lives. But can Christian doctrine be thus reconstructed if the Bible is to be taken in its literal narrative and word? ... The Bible, then, along with other Scriptures, having its origin in this same Ancient Wisdom or Gnosis... (is) sadly mutilated and garbled in our authorized version; its proper interpretation lies in what we can gather from other sources of those great fundamental principles concerning Man's nature and destiny which have been taught for ages past, and long before the Jews were ever heard of" (Kingsland, p.78, 81) E. New Bibles will contain new Gospel and new message |
