The Spirit of Antichrist In the Cults

Spiritism

Any just and perfect being is Christ.

 

Christ was a medium, now an advanced spirit.

 

Nearer God than man but does not represent God.

 

He has a Christ Spirit that all men can achieve

 

Christ was no more than he held out as possible for others.

 

Their hymn book leaves out the name of Jesus.

 

The miraculous conception of Christ is a fabulous tale.

 

Christ arose in spirit only.

 

The coming of Christ came in 1861. a new dispensation, We live in the second coming a time of ministering angels and spirits to enlighten all conscious intelligence.

Theosophy

  1. The Christ is a living Presence in the human Spirit,

 

  1. Humans unfold by this presence an innate divinity.

 

  1. In time all men become Christ.

 

Christian Science

 

 

  1. Because God is indivisible, He could not enter man, nor can His fullness be reflected in a man.

 

  1. Jesus is a human, and Christ is the divine idea.

 

  1. The idea of Christ was with God and Mary perceived the idea. Jesus was the offspring of Mary’s self-conscious communion with God.

 

  1. Jesus proved the power of Spirit over flesh.

 

  1. Jesus represented Christ, the true idea of God.

 

  1. The cross did not destroy and conquer the flesh.

 

  1. The resurrection was a demonstration of divine Science in his victory over death. Immortal Truth and Love survived.

 

  1. The spiritual Christ was infallible. Jesus as material manhood was not Christ.

 

  1. Jesus Christ is no God, but the Son of God, an ideal for every man. A Gnostic Jesus, an idea, a principle but not God incarnate.

 

  1. A portion of God could not enter man; neither could God’s fullness be reflected by a single man, or else God would be manifestly finite, lose the deific character, and become less than God.

 

Rosicrucianism

  1. To say that Jesus Christ was the only begotten Son of God is a great mistake.

 

  1. The only begotten is the second aspect of the Supreme being.

 

  1. When Christ is born on earth; He dies to heaven. The Christ Spirit is fettered and hampered each time He is born into earth, which happens at Christmas and lasts until easter.

 

  1. It is the coming of Christ into the immer nature of man that abolishes law. Until Christ has been formed in us we are not ready for the Second Coming.

 

  1. When we imitate Christ and fulfil His teachings, we hasten His Coming.

 

Jesus was a spirit belonging to human evolution, so was the Buddha. Jesus had previous incarnation and his growth is present today.

 

The Christ spirit is not found in human spirits.

Unity School of Christianity

  1. How did the Word become flesh? 

 

  1. The only begotten Son is the spiritual identity of Jesus, who he acknowledged in all his ways, until he was completely purified, spiritualized, and redeemed. He thus became Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh. We can bring forth the Christ spirit with his help.

 

  1. The word of truth purifies the consciousness until each man is a Christ.

 

  1. Man is the Son of God and the Spirit of the Most High dwells in me. Man is the only begotten Son. I am the Christ of God.

 

Baha’ism

  1. Jesus was a revelation for the people of his day not now.
    Abdu’l Baha  is the revelation for today.

 

  1. We should recognize all prophets.

 

Mormonism

  1. Our "Father in heaven" was once a sinful man on another planet and was redeemed by that world's Jesus.  "As man is, God once was; as God is, man may become."

 

  1. The body Jesus took in order to achieve godhood was produced when "Father God" came to earth and had intercourse with Mary.  

 

  1. The Mormon's God is an exalted man with numerous wives through whom he has millions of spirit children who must come to earth in order to become gods, as Jesus did.

 

  1. Both God and Jesus Christ, both Gods, have a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man. H.S. is only a personage of spirit.

 

  1. Jesus was begotten by the Father in his own likeness, he was not begotten by the Holy Ghost.

 

  1. The Father was the first of the human family, Jesus our elder brother. Jesus was born in the flesh of the same character as Adam in Eden.

 

  1. Jesus was one god among many that had an organized spirit but a glorious body of flesh and bones

 

  1. Jesus was a polygamist with the Marys and Martha before his incarnation who was rewarded for faithfulness by becoming ruler of this earth.

 

Jehovah’s Witnesses

  1. Jesus is a god but not the Almighty God Jehovah

 

  1. Deny trinity and denies the deity of Christ.

 

  1. Man is not a lost sinner and does not need a Savior.

 

  1. Jesus is the creation of God who came to earth.  Jesus is an archangel, died a ransom for many and raised a spirit.

 

  1. An angel that became a man. He is a god, but not God the Son.

 

  1. Jesus was previously Michael the Archangel.

 

  1. “another Jesus”  the scripture says about J.W.

 

Unitarianism-Modernism

  1. Believe in the divinity of Jesus and mankind.

 

  1. Divinity did not stop with Jesus but is continuing filling every nook and cranny of the universe. Different forms of life differ in degree. Jesus has a greater capacity for the one life.

 

  1. Jesus is but one of the Christs of history, but so is Socrates, Confucius, Mohammed.

 

  1. Christ is the symbol both of what man ought to be and of what God is beyond man.

 

  1. Just like Jesus, after he did a phase of the work in the normal human nature, completing all the work he had to do, he separated himself from the flesh and did the work with the image of the flesh in the spiritual realm.
  2.  

NEW AGE

  1. Christ is the incarnate spirit that is in all of us and in all creatures and matter. This spirit of monistic theology and universal oneness, can be reborn in each of us if we look inward.

 

  1. Jesus was like Buddha, Confucius, Brahman. He too realized He was God by Leaching altered states of consciousness or Christ consciousness. He did not suffer or die, let alone for the sins of the world.
