'Common Ground' Between Theosophists and Christians?

Origin of 'Common Ground'
Christian reunification has been the objective of church organizations, such as: the World Council of Churches, the National Council of Churches USA, along with several others. Ecumenical cooperation has been encouraged among Protestants, Eastern Orthodox, and Roman Catholics. During one of these regularly scheduled ecumenical events, various denominations teach their respective traditions and, at the same time, seek for common ground between these traditions.[1]

One of the primary forces steering ecumenical unity is the Vatican. Great strides were made by Pope John Paul II, since he voiced hope that since the second 1000 years was the millennium of Christian disunity, the third 1000 years would bring unity with the Protestant church. [2] Of course he means being reunited, since this has been the goal since the Reformation. The only way that would happen would be for Protestants to forget about their differences, and compromise the Word of God. How would a move toward compromise be made?

The Pope with the head of the Anglican Church and the head of the Greek Orthodox Church. 80% of Christianity was represented at this event for Christian dialogue.

Georg Hegel developed a comprehensive philosophical framework for social solidarity. Hegel (1770 – 1831) was an occultist, who laid the foundation for Communist brainwashing. Today, his transformational process is being used to change churches, as well as: politics, education, business, and communities.

This system aims to criticize all points of view and to synthesize them into one unified result. The dialectic method uses dialogue between two or more people or groups holding different points of view, then conditions them to accept the compromise. [3] Since the dialectic process has been used in the Church by the introduction of the social gospel, old fashioned Christian ways of separation are quickly being changed and replaced by modern ideas of erasing lines between denominations. All of this is being done to ease the Church back under the Pope, then the next step of creating one religion.

The process goes like this:

1. Dialogue is started between the groups with opposing ideas.
2. Seek "common ground" in the midst of religious diversity.
3. Show respect, tolerance, and appreciation for all beliefs and values - unless they reflect Biblical truth.
4. Train everyone to share their feelings, listen with an empathetically, then identify opposing views.
5. Introduce a compromise, in a way that participants will accept the change.

 Pope John Paul II gathered with leaders of false religions for a day of reflection,  

dialogue and prayer for peace and justice.

'Common Ground' with Theosophists

Willis Harman, is a Luciferian Theosophist, served as president of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and is considered a metaphysical futurist. He taught during a conference heavily attended by leading Evangelicals for the purpose of finding "common ground" with Theosophists. These Consultations were attended by mainstream evangelical leaders, and they were sponsored by the Billy Graham Center at Wheaton College. The second conference in 1979 titled, "Continuing Consultation on Future Evangelical Concerns" was summarized in a book An Evangelical Agenda: 1984 and Beyond.

According to the Chairman of the conference, Hudson T. Armerding, the President of Wheaton College, "We learn that the purpose of the conference was to “enlarge the vision of God’s people and enable them to have a still more effective stewardship of time and opportunity in these critical days.” Upon analysis, the conference transcripts suggest that they valued "common ground".

This Consultation represents one of the first publicly-disclosed occasions where Evangelicals and New Agers met together to address common ground. Is it possible that this event marked the beginning of the public phase of the integration of Theosophy with Christianity? Perhaps so, when you consider the proposals made by Willis Harman were to integrate the psychic into Christianity to create a new synthesized "truth."

Willis Harman's presentation to the evangelical leaders called for a “new” science, which he had termed “noetic” science, a Gnostic science, based on his research into the paranormal and the human brain. He listed such things as hypnosis, remote viewing, precognition, psychokinesis and psychic phenomena. He called for more scientific research into the “the world of inner experience,” meaning psychic phenomena. All this could create a future utopia.[4]

In the years to come, many of the evangelical leaders who attended these Consultations would go on to work on inventing new theologies. They initiated projects that would re-shape Christian theology into these futuristic and esoteric images of man and his destiny.[5]

These leaders attended one or more of the conferences and were well-known at the time. Many are still alive and active in Evangelical Church. It makes you wonder if they were uncomfortable participating in this event that is diametrically opposed to Christianity.

The Big: Why?
It is important to Theosophy, and these counterfeit Christians, that true believers accept their Cosmic/Masonic (New Age) Christ. It will help to create the paradigm shift they so fondly speak of. Certain Christian colleges have been created with the express purpose of promoting mysticism and accept New Age ideas. These same schools are accepting the newer versions of the Bible where New Age language is introduced. Theosophy and Christianity are slowly being drawn together and we can thank the Christian Masons for this - which is what Billy Graham has publicly displayed, but publicly denied.

How many believers will take the bait?

"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works."

2 Cor. 11:13-15

“But there were false apostles also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you; whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.” 2 Peter 2:1-3
