How to Rebut New Age Delusions with Dr. Heiser

Michael Heiser, responding to an audience question on rebutting modern Gnostic claims of divine inspiration in books like A Course in Miracles (allegedly dictated by Jesus to atheist Columbia professor Helen Schucman and now in some church Sunday schools), The Celestine Prophecy, and The Secret—which he identifies as the top contemporary threat to Christianity over atheism or agnosticism due to their cultural surge and church infiltration—advocates first clarifying the revelation's nature (e.g., verbal dictation, mental deposit, or dream) to contrast it with Scripture's providence-driven, non-spectacular inspiration where God employs human authors without supernatural interruptions, producing testable truth claims via logical coherence, internal consistency, and real-world application; he proposes interrogating authors like Marianne Williamson on divine encounters, exposing content contradictions with biblical Jesus (e.g., mutually exclusive messages implying a deceptive, confused, or chaotic Christ inconsistent with a truthful, good God who seeks clarity rather than confusion), questions the necessity of such claims, and notes that while claimants may resist reevaluation, public dialogue reveals inconsistencies, as a reliable Jesus wouldn't dispense conflicting revelations across individuals. #michaelheiser #bible #Jesus #God #Faith #Christ All rights to this material belong to their respective owners.
