Default Unity - The Fast Track To Hell - 03-13-2008, 12:25 AM

I think I've found the absolute worst religion ever. It's called Unity. Unity followers (who are very quick to say that they are not Unitarians, since they are quite willing to slam everyone else's religion even while defending their own imbecilic views vociferously) claim to be Christians, but what they really believe is a mixture of Satanic witchcraft and new age mumbo jumbo. We need to organize to stop these anti-Christian sorcerors and con men (well, con women mostly, since men have a little more spiritual discernment and are less likely to fall for the Unity/Satanic trap) before we lose another generation of their children to the fires of Hell!

I'll get to the anti-Christian sorcers part below, but, if you don't think they're con men, then check out their page for ministers on how to ramp up contributions by teaching prosperity doctrine here; or their FAQ for ministers, where they rank Beliefs first, but Church Accounting and Minister's Finances come before their Youth and Peacemaking. Or the handy Unity Direct Debit Authorization form. They're as shameless as Scientologists when it comes to fleecing the flock.

The really insidious thing about Unity isn't that they are selling BS to their members, but rather that, like the Catholics, they claim that what they believe is all based in the Bible. When pressed, anything they don't like in the Bible they say is allegory, or metaphor, or changed from the original text by evil Christians. Of course, everything they do like is the true word of Jesus Christ. If Deepak Chopra married the Pope, their kids would be Unity freaks.

That's it, no muss, no fuss, they just rewrite the Bible to suit whatever their belief du jour happens to be! I kid you not. Consider these statements, drawn straight from the Unity website, which show that they are in no way Christians or followers of Christs teachings:

Unity: Unity honors the universal truths in all religions and respects each individual’s right to choose a spiritual path.

God: I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Exodus 20:2-3

Unity: We see Jesus as a master teacher of universal truths and as our Way-Shower. In Unity, we use the term "Christ" to mean the divinity in humankind. Jesus is the great example of the Christ in expression.


God: God was made manifest in the flesh. 1 Timothy 3:16 (speaking of Jesus)

Unity: We are each individual, eternal expressions of God. Our essential nature is divine and therefore inherently good.

God: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23

Unity: Unity recognizes that the Bible is a complex collection of writings compiled over many centuries. We honor the writings as reflecting the understanding and inspiration of the writers at the time they were written.

God: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1

Unity: When we take personal responsibility to choose life affirming thoughts, words and actions, we experience a more fulfilling and abundant life.

God: I am come to send fire on the earth Luke 12:49.

Unity: In Unity, we feel a sacred responsibility.... to make a positive difference through personal example and active service in our churches, our communities and our world.... It is imperative that our ministries and outreaches be free of discrimination on the basis of race, color, gender, age, creed, religion, national origin, ethnicity, physical disability, or sexual orientation.

God: Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? ... Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord. 2 Corinthians 6:14-17

Unity: In our effort to reach out to all people as did our Way-Shower, Jesus Christ, we support the modification of our facilities to make them accessible to all people, regardless of physical challenges....

God: Whosoever ... hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.... a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous, Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken....

Unity: Unity honors the many names for God, the many paths to God, the many ways to worship God....

God: If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you ... Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt surely kill him..... Deuteronomy 13:6-10

But here's the worst Unity doctrine of all--they believe that they can make things happen through thought alone! There's a word for that my friends, and that word is sorcery.

Unity: Unity emphasizes the creative power of thought in our life experience. We refer to this as the Law of Mind Action. When we take personal responsibility to choose life affirming thoughts, words and actions, we experience a more fulfilling and abundant life.


God: But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Revelation 21:8

Remember when dealing with Unity's minions, their witchcrafts are dangerous, but we, as Christians filled with the Spirit of God, have nothing to fear from them:

....Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God. But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him. And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. Acts 13:7-11

Hey, it would be great if the world were all happieness and joy and positive thoughts, and if we could get everything we want just by wishing it were so, but the simple fact is that life is complicated, Satan's temptations abound, and truth isn't just a matter of what we want, it is a matter of what actually is, as created by God. And God's plan isn't like a menu at a Chinese restaurant, we don't get to pick one item from column A and one from column B, you accept it all like a thinking, rational adult. We need to trust in Him to chose the best path for us, and fight the vile lies of the witches and hucksters who preach Unity.

Have you "True Christians" no scruples or compassion?

Unity stands for hope, inclusion, goodness, kindness, all the things that Landover should support, but seems to have left by the wayside. And accusing Unity of being a "pick and choose" religion is the height of hypocracy. Use the search feature and you'll see that Landover forum threads mentioning Hell well outnumber those mentioning Heaven, yet the Bible talks a lot more about salvation than it does about damnation. And don't get me started on the topic of money--I've never seen a Paypal button on any Unity forums.

It is true that Unity is not the same as Unitarian-Universalism, and stating that simple fact isn't in any sense a putdown of either. My congregation often shares worship services and other functions with our Unity sisters and brothers, and each ministry welcomes members of the other with open arms. They are about the last group I would expect to find insulting anyone--they don't have insult in their genes.

Sure, I think a lot of Unity's views are kind of flighty, but who am I to tell them what they should believe or how they should handle their spiritual journeys? In UU, we believe that we can learn from everyone, and that each of us has to find our own spiritual path. The best thing about UU is that we find our own spiritual paths together, and that is, I think, the best part of Unity, too. Like UU, Unity works for its members, assists the downtrodden, and does nothing whatsoever to discomfort others. What more do they need to justify their beliefs than that?

Smith, you seem to think you're an expert on everything from cosmology to evolution to ancient languages (like I really believe you speak Aramaic) to comparative religions to the philosophy of science to Supreme Court decisions to what brand of toilet seat is the most comfortable. Well, frankly, I think I know just as much as you do, though I'm not as egotistical about it, and this time I'm calling your bluff. If you're going to criticize Unity, then why don't you take the time to actually learn about them, go to their services, speak with them about what they believe, and try some of their meditation and positive thinking. You'll find that they aren't sorcerers, they don't worship the Devil, and their belief system is not any farther from human experience (and is much closer to human compassion) than is Landover's.


...as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Colossians 3:12-14 (emphasis mine)

That's a pretty bold claim, Kingster. You've been here for a while, so you have obviously seen that True Christians are full of compassion, and have scruples that cannot be denied. Also, I'm pretty sure you were referring to brother Smith, the author of the that enlightening post, and not all True Christians. Making gross generalizations like that is likely to get you into hot water around here.

Somehow I missed all of the compassion. As for Smith, he's the most wordy, obnoxious, and self-congratulatory of all of your lot, but his views seem to fall pretty much in line with those of other "True Christians," and I don't mean that as a compliment. Now's your chance, Nobar, to distance yourself from that blowhard, lest you be found guilty by association.

I've been in hot water here before, and I seem to have survived just fine. You need enemies like me, otherwise you're doomed to making fun of philosophy sophomores and Doom III addicts. At least I can quote some scripture. Speaking of which, what do you think of Colossians 3:12-14 (see my sig, below)? I know the Unity crowd takes it to heart, as do I.

Why is it that every day we get these uneducated here trying to tell us that their better than this and that and continuously attack our Brothers and Sisters. Not to mention Gods favourite forum. Listen up starkingleningrad if you don't like to be amongst the saved go and meditate about where you will be when God smites you.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

I don't claim to be better, just more compassionate and open to others who have different views. I'm not a meditator (though many of my parishioners are), but I can assure you I spend most of my life contemplating God.

Friend,

How are we not compassionate to the saved scum of the world? We help them over come their disgusting, vile, repulsive sinful natures and reach salvation. All you are doing with your “understanding” is enabling them in their self destruction.



Time to reclaim our FREEDOM from the “Mullah in Chief” and his growing activist voter hoards of socialists, communists, anti-Semites, anti-Christians, atheists, radical gays and lesbians, feminists, illegal immigrants, Muslims, anti-Anglo whites and others.

Sister SUV, you can have any kind of bite you want.

Seriously, sure, there are lots of Unity sounbites. They take a while to load, and are guaranteed to cure insomnia without medication.

But it's more fun to read thru their prosperity manual: Because we believe fundraising is a spiritual practice, ministry leaders and congregations have the opportunity and responsibility to learn about it and practice it. Here's the best one of all, from the aptly named "Patsys' Article": Money is nothing but Divine Energy in a convenient form. Can you imagine anyone being that crass about tithing at Landover? For us, it is a natural part of our love for God that we tithe, but we know darned well that it's Caesar's face on the coin, not God's.

And I haven't even gotten to how Unity is a cult of personality that never found a new personality when the old one died. Their stuff is laced with more quotes from the con man Charles Fillmore than a North Korean government press release is with paeans to their "Dear Leader." Too bad for them that Charles Fillmore forgot to visualize himself living forever.

The icing on this cake is their manual for Kwanzaa services [For those who don't know, Kwanzaa is a Christmastime holiday that celebrates the seven African-American virtues: greed, sloth, addiction, violence, theft, basketball, and homelessness.] Don't they know that this was a holidy made up by black nationalist Ron Karenga, who justified the invention by saying that "Jesus was psychotic" and that black folk should shun the "white" Christian religion? And yet Unity still claims to be Christian. How sad.

Well, BarrKingMad, in these verses, Christians are being told to relate this way to each other; that is, other True Christians™, not with Unsaved Trash, Unity-ans, Unitarians, Planetariums, or anything else.

It's more clear from God's Word, the KJV, instead of that filthy NIV you use.

Quote:
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God,* holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another,** if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
* - the elect of God. True Christians™.
**- Forbearing/forgiving ONE ANOTHER. Other elect of God. Other True Christians™.

I'm just dropping in to give my regards to Brother Smith.


Mark 16:17 And these attesting signs will accompany those who believe: in My Name they will drive out demons.

1 Kings 21:14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned . . .

A SPIRITUAL WARFARE PRAYER:
Father, In Jesus' Name, I take the Blood of Jesus and break the power of all witches, warlocks, wizards, satanists, sorcerers, wiccans, pagans, and any other source, and all of their rituals off of us. With the Blood of Jesus, I erase all evil lines drawn on our liver. . .

That's a low blow, even for you. You claim to revere Paul the Apostle, does that make Landover a personality cult? I won't even discuss Pastor Deacon Fred, but I'm sure everyone reading this knows what I mean.

Quote:
Don't they know that this was a holidy made up by black nationalist Ron Karenga, who justified the invention by saying that "Jesus was psychotic" and that black folk should shun the "white" Christian religion? And yet Unity still claims to be Christian. How sad.
The gratuitous racism isn't worthy of a response. As for the rest, don't you see that a community that is constantly suppressed will naturally fight back? Karenga did create Kwanzaa as an alternative to what he viewed as a white religion, Christianity, but it has become much, much more than that. It symbolizes the very virtues that you seem to be saying that African Americans lack (and that I think many True Christians lack). I don't like any racism, white-on-black, black-on-white, black-on-black, or any other kind, but the way to get African Americans integrated into American society is to stop oppressing them. You seem to me to want to go in exactly the opposite direction.

What kind of malicious pleasure do you take in attacking people's beliefs for no particular reason? Do you really care what I or anyone else believe? What are you trying to prove, and to whom--yourself? Because you're certainly not proving anything to me except that you are arrogant, and it's been my experience that arrogance is a product of insecurity. I went through a phase of arrogance some years ago, and I didn't like myself very much at that time. Fortunately, I outgrew mine.

Sorry, I'll stick to the KJV in the future. In this case, I agree that KJV is a better translation from the Greek. So let's do as you suggest, and pay some close attention to the text in the KJV:

Quote:
12Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
Hmm, nothing in there so far discussing "each other." If Paul wanted us to believe that kindness was to be shown only to other Christians, why didn't he say so explicitly? He was an educated man with a firm grasp of the Greek language, so I'm sure he knew how to say that if that's what he intended.

Quote:
13forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any one with any one may have a quarrel, as also the Christ did forgive you -- so also ye;
Ah, forebearing one another and forgiving each other. No argument there, Paul definitely meant that the forebearance applies only within the Christian community. This proves that he knew how to say that an admonition applies only to dealings with fellow Christians. Was there a problem with conflict in the early Church that caused Paul to write this?

Quote:
14and above all these things, have love, which is a bond of the perfection,
And again, no limitation to just other Christians.

It's just my opinion, but I think you aren't giving Paul's intellect enough credit. But I can forgive you this error, since, in Paul's letters, there are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. 2 Peter 3:16

BTW, how exactly does one put on bowels of mercies? Since you take the Bible literally, you're a perfect person to ask.


...as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Colossians 3:12-14 (emphasis mine)

If I may briefly interject, this piece of Unsaved Trash© just might have a something akin to a point. Perhaps it would be wise for everyone concerned to try to leave their own attitudes and emotions out of such discussions as much as possible and focus solely on Scripture. The Holy Word of God contains everything we need to teach and to express to any interlopers on this forum, including the entire spectrum of emotions, from joy to fear to rage--indeed, even to the UT's above-referenced arrogance:

1 Samuel 2:3
3Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

I mean no offense, of course, to anyone here. I do not usually enter into the theological discussions of Landover's much wiser and more learned men, so I thank you for allowing me this small interruption.


Mark 16:17 And these attesting signs will accompany those who believe: in My Name they will drive out demons.

It means you want to go back on quarantine. One more outburst like this, and I will bring a moderator into this.

You think you're better than Paul or Pastor Deacon Fred? You aren't fit to carry their luggage, much less to criticize them. Nobody but God can criticize them! Yes, we revere the Apostle Paul, as we revere all of the Apostles (well, all but Judas Iscariot). We revere Pastor Deacon Fred, too. They are our friends, our leaders, and the annointed representatives of God on Earth. But the center of our religion is Jesus, as both Paul and PDF would be the first to tell you. Do one of your word searches on Fred and Jesus and see for yourself who gets more discussion.

I see you chose totally to ignore Sister SUV's comments on Condaleeza Rice. Are you ashamed that a black woman reached the summit of power without buying into the left wing politics that UU espouses?

Finally, Justina is absolutely right, we should concentrate on the Holy Bible. So, do you have any more Bible verses that you Unitarians adore? If so, please share, and Sister JennyD will explain why you are wrong just as she did regarding Colossians 3.



Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name.... Jeremiah 10:25

blah blah blah
Parsing out phrases from a single sentence? Would you expect him to add "each other" in every phrase? The words are in a letter TO A CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

Tell me, where in that sentence did he say anything about behaving in that manner to someone other than "each other"? Oh, right. Nowhere.

Of course I parse out phrases from a single sentence. Paul chose his words quite carefully, and ignoring the differences in his sentence structures will lead you to miss many subtleties in his letters.

Yes, I would expect Paul to add "each other" in every phrase unless he meant the phrase not to be limited in scope to "each other." Paul knew perfectly well how to state when things applied only to members of A CHRISTIAN CHURCH, sentence after sentence after sentence. See, e.g., Colossians 1:

1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother, 2To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 4Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints, 5For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; 6Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth: 7As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ; 8Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit. 9For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; 12Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 15Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. 19For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; 20And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. 21And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: 23If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; 24Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church: 25Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; 26Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 27To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: 29Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.


...as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Colossians 3:12-14 (emphasis mine)
