Spiritual truthseeker turning into a Christian.

[FollowerOfTheWay]

Hello!

Is there any spiritual truthseekers in this forum who have eventually met Christ?

The Title of this post is actually refering to me. I am a spiritual truthseeker who are turning into a Christian more and more.

I have have come very far in the quest of knowing the truth, or rather jumping in and out of different truths without knowing what the real truth is. I want to know the truth so badly and I want to live in it forever. I already know much about New Age and the Christian faith. I know the depth of it all and have been into both separately. But now I am into both at the same time. I am mixing both and make them fit each other. Maybe I am creating a new spiritual movement out of this, or maybe I am just confused? It is not easy to stay on one track as all the tracks seems so true and so good. I am spiritual but confused. I want to KNOW, not just BELIEVE. Help me!

What you are doing is preaching another gospel if you are trying to mix scripture with new age beliefs, and to assure you, you are not the first to do this.  There was the Emergent Church movement, postmodernism, and then Oprah introduces Eckhart Tolle to the world.

There is only one truth.  Here are the words of Jesus recorded in John 14.  You would do well to meditate on what is said:

John 14

The Way, the Truth, and the Life

14 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. ² In My Father’s house are many mansions;^[a] if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.^{[b] 3} And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. ⁴ And where I go you know, and the way you know.”

⁵ Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”

⁶ Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

The Father Revealed

⁷ “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”

⁸ Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”

⁹ Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? ¹⁰ Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. ¹¹ Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.

The Answered Prayer

¹² “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. ¹³ And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴ If you ask^[c] anything in My name, I will do it.

Jesus Promises Another Helper

¹⁵ “If you love Me, keep^[d] My commandments. ¹⁶ And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— ¹⁷ the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. ¹⁸ I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.

Indwelling of the Father and the Son

¹⁹ “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. ²⁰ At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. ²¹ He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”

²² Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”

²³ Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. ²⁴ He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.

The Gift of His Peace

²⁵ “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. ²⁶ But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. ²⁷ Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. ²⁸ You have heard Me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said,^[e]‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I.

²⁹ “And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe. ³⁰ I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me. ³¹ But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go from here.

   Welcome to Worthy....The first sign that anything is not TRUTH is "confusion".....Gods Truth,His Word is His Timeless Truth.....God is not a God of confusion,He is the One True Living God Who brings Peace & Comfort to them that Receive His Truth,no confusion or chaos...

   You said something that stood out to me ,The heart of the matter

Quote

 I already know much about New Age and the Christian faith. I know the depth of it all ......

  Jesus is the Way,the Truth & the Life.....knowing much ABOUT the Christian Faith is no depth at all,it is topical,superficial.Christianity is not about "what" you know,it is about WHO you know. Our Redeemer Lives,you can have a Relationship with Him and that is how you come into Wisdom & Understanding,the TRUTH,Praise Jesus

   THere is no "sitting on the fence" ,it is like have one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel,it leads to the same place.....it does not lead to Eternal Life with our Lord God Almighty

    If you are sincerely "seeking" the Truth then the first step begins at the foot of the Cross,you have to get on your knees before you can walk

                                                                                                                                                                  With love-in Christ,Kwik

Hello Knower,

Mixing the 2 is like saying I'll mix black & white, honey & chili they are completely opposed to each other, You will come up with a different flavor, , but not pure. You said yourself you may come up with a completely different movement, Jesus was very clear on the way to salvation there was no two roads. You also mentioned different truth which is a oxymoron.

I hope you find your way God bless.

I think if you're new to Christianity you don't know enough yet. Why don't you just stick with the teaching Jesus came to bring the world? He was promised to come in the Old Testament and he did arrive and that's what made for the New Testament teaching what he said. 

New Age stuff is hokum. Why mess with the real thing? Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven. That's the truth. Not blending New Age stuff in with his word. He was God for goodness sake. When you start to have faith and let down your defenses to that you will know. 

Anyway, I'm new too. Welcome.
