CASSADAGA SPIRITUALISM vs. BIBLICAL CHRISTIANITY

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Below is a comparison of what the Bible says about some of the stated beliefs by Spiritualists. Please note the Spiritualist beliefs are attained from their own resources. One must also realize that true Christianity is based completely on the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, which IS the Word of God in its entirety. Recorded in the Gospel of John chapter 14 verse 6, Jesus stated that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life and NO ONE comes to the Heavenly Father, but by Him. Therefore, Christianity's Founder and Lord declares He is the ONLY WAY to a relationship to Father God.

James 2:19 (NIV)

John 8:44 (KJV)

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

2 Cor. 4:1-4 (KJV)

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

IS WITCHCRAFT OR BLACK MAGIC PART OF SPIRITUALISM?

They say,Absolutely not. Hmm?

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A PSYCHIC AND A MEDIUM?

They claim everyone to be a psychic having a sixth sense, but they say a Medium "has natural vibratory energies capable of merging with spiritual energy enabling information and assistance of a higher quality to come through. This information does not come from mind or mental energy but from God through Spirit."

WHAT IS A READING?

They also call readings, spiritual counseling. They claim it must be done by a "certified medium." The Spiritualist claim their belief combines religion, philosophy and science combining this world with "transition" to the next. The Medium claims to be able to "receive, process and deliver messages from the Highter Spirit Plane." True Mediums will not use "tools" such as palm reading, tarot cards, or any other object to do a reading.

Although Christians are not instructed to bring wrath upon those who do not abide by Biblical teachings, the Scripture passages below do show the Lord's abhorance for the practices of Psychics and Mediums -

Leviticus 20:27 (KJV)

A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.

Deut. 18:9-22 (KJV) When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. 10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, 11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord : and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee. 13 Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God. 14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.

15 The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; 16 According to all that thou desiredst of the Lord thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not. 17 And the Lord said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken. 18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. 19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. 20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. 21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken? 22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord , if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
