Friday, January 23, 2015 Remember me,

Salvation, John 3:3

So, you claim to be a Born Again Christian, fine, but are you?

Are you one of the many, who while professing to be Born Again find nothing wrong with homosexual sex? Are you amongst the 49% who believe there is nothing wrong with two people living together outside of marriage? Are you part of the one out of three that find the killing of a baby trapped in the womb to be morally acceptable? Are you part of the group that believe that Jesus is your friend and not your master? Are you one of the over 50% who say the Jesus did not live a sinless life, deny the virgin birth, or deny absolute truth of the Bible? Well, if you said yes to any of the above, you are not Saved and going to hell.

Let me paraphrase John 3:3 for you, "Be Born Again or go to hell!" Yes that is a perfect paraphrase of John 3:3.

Now let's look at the Greek word philos, pronounced fee'-los, it means dear, i.e. a friend. It is found 27 times in the New Testament, in not one of those verses is it found in reference to Jesus, not once do we find anyone in the New Testament calling Jesus "friend". Not one of the Apostles call the Lord friend. James, the half brother of the Lord referred to himself as "James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ". Not James, the half brother of the Lord, but James the servant of the Lord.

In the Greek it is, James [Iakobos], a servant [doulos] of God [theos] and [kai] of the Lord [Kurios] Jesus [Iesous] Christ [Christos]... The Greek word doulos, pronounced doo'-los means, a slave (literal or figurative, involuntary or voluntary; frequently, therefore in a qualified sense of subjection or subserviency):--bond(-man), servant. Not a friend, not a half brother, but slave, bond servant, obeyer of all orders and commands given by the Lord Jesus. Yet over fifty percent of all those calling themselves Born Again, claim that Jesus is their friend, not their master, but their friend, not their owner, but their friend. So, how could they have given their life to the Lord? How can they be Born Again? And if they are not truly Born Again, how can they go anywhere other than the lake of fire?

First we are going to look at the only Scripturally defined method of being Born Again, for the Lord Jesus Christ said in John 3:3, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God! To often that sentence is ended with a period, it is and exclamation, it is a matter of fact, it is not arbitrary, it is an absolute, it means simply this, unless you are Born Again, as defined by Scripture, no matter how good a life you live, you are not even going to see the inside of heaven, you are going to spend eternity in the lake of fire with the devil and it's.

look, if you are one of the very many who said some canned so called Prayer of Salvation and did not comply, 100%, with what The Lord Jesus acknowledge as Born Again, you are not going to heaven, you are going to the lake of fire, I don't know how I can be any clearer. I don't care what the pope says, I don't care what so called Evangelical leaders say, I only care what He, who went up on the cross for us, He who left His kingdom in heaven and came to earth to offer us the one and only way to eternal peace and love with Him in heaven, has to say. And if any who disagree ca find Scripture to contradict this dire warning, so be it, let them do it, but as for those who start by disagreeing with denominational garbage or commentary by others, don't waste your time.


Later today, we are going to look at the one and only Scriptural method of being Born Again.

For those who disagree, prove your point with Scripture or offer yourself on a cross for me and I'll consider what you have to say.

Are you saying that it is wrong for the Creator to have rules? Did you not have any rules for yur kids as they grew up?

It's not a question of liking or not liking the rules. It's a question of what the rules are. It's a question of how things really work. There's the Christian model which involves judgement on what we believed, or the model based on Michael Newton's work, corroborated by thousands through past life recall, which says our harshest (and only) judge will be our very selves, when we understand with much amplified conviction those whom we've harmed and those we've helped and (more to the point) the things we have learned and how we've progressed spiritually. It's a place where love surpasses all earthly deeds in enormous measure, fitting in a way the bible talks about but frankly fails to demonstrate. To a measure far beyond what one is even capable of expecting of a truly Majestic God.

To have an eternal soul condemned for all eternity in a pit of fire over academic knowledge is simply not what an all powerful, all loving God would see fit to do to his children.

I read of your health situation in post #42. I wish you the best. I believe though that the day you/we die, will be the happiest day of our lives, because it's the day we *return* home, the place we came from. Earth is not home, and never has been.

"To have an eternal soul condemned for all eternity in a pit of fire over academic knowledge is simply not what an all powerful, all loving God would see fit to do to his children".

One of the classic problems that people bring up is: How can a God of love send anybody to Hell? Well, there are several answers to that.

One of course is that God doesn't send anyone to Hell. You send yourself there. God has done everything He possibly can to keep you out of Hell and still leave you as a person with free will and not just a robot. That's the way He made us-- after His image, after His likeness, the power to say “yes” or the power to say “no,” the power to reject our own Creator, and of course to take the consequences. Across the road to Hell he has placed the cross of Christ. In one sense you can say He doesn't send anybody to Hell, because across the road to Hell he has placed the cross of Christ. There are also the prayers of parents, pastors and Sunday school teachers, and all the other things that God brings into our lives to stop us on our selfish way and to bring us to the Savior. We have to go wandering on past it all and put ourselves in Hell.

Sometimes you hear people say, "God wouldn't send His children to Hell." God certainly doesn't send His children to Hell because when we're His children we're in the family of God. We're born again and part of our salvation includes deliverance from judgment. We're not all children of God except through faith in Christ Jesus.

Can a God of love send anyone to Hell? You might as well ask some other question to make just as much sense. Does God allow disease in the world? Does God allow jails and prisons for some people? Does God allow the electric chair sometimes? Does God allow sin to break homes and hearts? Does God allow war? All of these things are the consequences of sin entering into the world, and in some cases the direct result of man's rebellion, and the result of greed and pride and egotism and hunger for power that doesn't have any use for people-- only the desire to get ahead.

This is the incredible fruit of sin. Sin brings suffering into the world. There's no way of getting around it. And the greatest sin in the world is to reject the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior. SNIP/

Fire burns. Gravity kills. Water drowns. And you can say, "God is love, God is love, God is love," until you're blue in the face. But water will still drown you, fire will burn you, and gravity will kill you, and sin will damn you no matter how much you say about a loving God.

God just set up life that way. He set up the rules. He set up the laws by which we are to live. And if we break those laws, they break us, and we pay the consequences.

All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. To those who knock it is opened. And yourself, in a dark hour, may will [a grumbling] mood, embrace it. Ye can repent and come out of it again. But there may come a day when you can do that no longer. Then there will be no you left to criticize the mood…

In a sense, the concept of hell gives meaning to our lives. It tells us that the moral choices we make day by day have eternal significance, that our behavior has consequences lasting to eternity, that God Himself takes our choices seriously.

The God of Creation, the One and only God gave His Name, YHWH. The Name confirmed by His only begotten Son Jesus Christ, Yeshua Hamashiach.

That is the Great I AM who came in Word and Power.

You sound as if you have given your life to Christ, if not, what do you base you believe on?

A combination of things.

1) The works of Dr. Michael Newton, in whose books he has presented a portrait of the spirit world and how it relates to our lives here on earth, all information gleaned from his clients while under deep hypnosis;

2) Books by Brian Weiss in a similar field as Newton, who's information corroborates Newton's completely even though neither of these authors refer to each others work (Though I've not yet read all of Weiss's books so can't swear to that....)

3) Contemporary accounts of reincarnation, and some near death experiences, which corroborate both Newton and Weiss. Accounts of child prodigies, some, most or potentially all claims of paranormal events, as well as "miraculous" healings and even out-of-body experiences have a reasonable explanation.

4) That all this information presents a theology that is, as far as I can see, perfect in form as it provides a great many answers to issues that Christianity does not answer well: Why there is suffering, pain and tragedy; Why life isn't fair (it is, even for those born with physical deformities and those who die at even young ages); Why we are special and different from animals, even if we share the same life tree via evolution; How souls come into existence...

5) No conflict with science in terms of universal origin and age, origins of life & evolution, or the theological problem of the potential for life, -- particularly intelligent life -- existing elsewhere in the cosmos.

6) On a personal level, it explains my own experiences in life. Everything falls into place with this model. Theology, philosophy, science, morality... everything falls into place in a very beautiful way. As I mentioned, the love is better, zero condemnation from God, endless patience, full free will and yet with full accountability.

I could post links to youtubes, but I'm not sure there's much point. I don't see it as particularly important that anyone change their views, and I sense that many on this forum aren't about to do so any time soon. But that's okay. I do discuss it because I find the subject fascinating, and the view of the world and the universe is very beautiful from where I sit now, and I'd like to share it if I could.

My best....

One of the classic problems that people bring up is: How can a God of love send anybody to Hell? Well, there are several answers to that.

The explanations you provided are not too unreasonable, but they are not very good either.

You say we have a choice to choose Jesus. But only during a life that could span anywhere from a few minutes to 100 years. I've raised the point in another thread. At what age is one able to make such a decision? Very young children sometimes die. Were their brains ever developed enough to reach that obtuse level of lucidity to make that eternal decision to accept Jesus or not? Should a child who dies in an earthquake 5 minutes after committing a first sin by eating a cookie out of the cookie jar against the parent's command spend eternity in hell? I'm told there are explanations to cover this kind of thing with kids, but even with such explanations, the issue remains a messy one. Then there are those who never had the chance to hear the gospel. Should they be condemned because a Christian failed to obey a command to tell them about Jesus? In order for there to be true justice, some theological tool needs to be created to cover it, maybe something like "God in his wisdom knew they wouldn't have chosen Jesus anyway" so that makes it okay for them to go to hell without actually having been given an actual choice for eternal life.

Theologically, it's messy.

God has done everything He possibly can to keep you out of Hell

Except for the fact that he created hell.... Or perhaps, one might argue, he didn't create it. Maybe sinners created it on their own. In which case he allowed it to be created. Being he is all-powerful, it's kinda hard to say he had nothing to do with it's creation. It's a messy concept.

God doesn't send anyone to Hell. You send yourself there.

The parable of the sheep and the goats seems particularly clear on the point of God / Jesus condemning those labeled goats. It's not a parable about sinners fleeing the love and grace of God by any stretch.

Sometimes you hear people say, "God wouldn't send His children to Hell." God certainly doesn't send His children to Hell because when we're His children we're in the family of God. We're born again and part of our salvation includes deliverance from judgment. We're not all children of God except through faith in Christ Jesus.

Implies that people lack souls until they accept Jesus? People are made into the image of God retroactively upon being saved? If we are not children of God until we are saved, then we are no different from animals before being saved. Why not save animals too. Or why bother saving anyone. Why would Jesus need to come and die to save people that are not children of God? Sorry, but this is, again, messy, messy theology.

This is the incredible fruit of sin. Sin brings suffering into the world. There's no way of getting around it. And the greatest sin in the world is to reject the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior. SNIP/

Christianity pretty much only has negative things to say about suffering and hardship on earth, but in the portrait of the world presented by Newton gives a refreshingly different perspective. Suffering, hardship and tragedy challenge us to make us spiritually stronger. They are not the "fruits of sin", but rather the whole reason we are here. To face such things and try to rise above them. To love others and keep our chins high in spite of whatever horrible things comes our way. Would you not agree that the ability to rise above such misfortune is a sign of a strong, powerful soul? That the greater one is able to rise above deeper chasms of darkness and despair, the more awe inspiring it is?

By "messy" do you mean, "insuffiently unanswerable with any kind of certainty"?

How can the wisdom and justice from God even be questioned OR answered sufficiently? It can't. His justice is...perfect. It doesn't get any better or more fair than that. In this world, of course "fairness" often appears lopsided, but that's without seeing the End Game.

Christianity pretty much only has negative things to say about suffering and hardship on earth, but in the portrait of the world presented by Newton gives a refreshingly different perspective.

Christianity and scripture pretty much assure man that suffering and hardship are inevitable. Scripture also lends wisdom, instruction, purpose and hope to deal with the inevitable.

What do you find "refreshing" about Newton's philosophy in dealing with death and suffering? And how could one trust his word on his version or portrait of "The truth"? I think what people are seeking is...a valid Authority and End Game. Who or what would this be according to Newton? Is it trackable? Does Newton believe there's a genesis or original Creator?

No. He is a now a retired hypnotherapist. He began his practice doing conventional hypnotherapy to help people to lose weight, quit smoking and resolve issues from forgotten/repressed traumatic childhood events and things of that nature, but moved into the unconventional field past life and between life regression after a few clients "accidentally" regressed to such areas and only then obtained the healing results they sought after doing so.

He was an atheist during the years of his conventional practice but was forced to accept we are more than flesh and blood as he saw more and more cases of past life regression accounts. He took the scientific course of remaining unbiased as possible by restricting his information sources to only his clients, avoiding the work of others, such as reading books and attending conferences on the subject. Each of his books contain many dozens of direct excerpts of sessions he's had with clients "case studies" each which illustrates a point or aspect of the spirit world and/or who and what we are.

Newton claims to have regressed as many as 7000 clients in his career, and says that regardless of the culture, religion (including atheists) or background of the clients, the information he got was extremely consistent. He also claims he does not ask leading questions of his clients ("do you see such and so?"), but made it his practice to ask open ended questions ("what do you see?") in an effort to be as scientifically neutral as possible in his work, and it is the overwhelming consistency of the information he obtained which made him conclude both that reincarnation is a real phenomenon and a spirit world exists.

Even though he's authored 4 books on the subject, searches on the web to find if anyone has accused Newton of being a fraud turn up nothing.

I personally found his information corroborating and explaining just about everything that I've experienced and wondered about in my personal life. In my view, Newton's information provides answers and explains mysteries far, far better any other information source, including Christianity or the bible has or does. I cannot in good conscience ignore that.

By "messy" do you mean, "insuffiently unanswerable with any kind of certainty"?

Theology is messy when it has characteristics that would seem to need "fixing" through the invention of bandaids in order to make the whole thing work reasonably. An example I frequently cite is the question of at what age someone is capable of committing a first sin. Would a new-born baby dying at 1 hour of age go to hell because he didn't accept Jesus, or heaven because they clearly didn't have any opportunity to commit any sin? Assuming it's heaven, then what about dying at age 2? 3? 4? 6? Clearly, the comprehension of the consequences of actions grows slowly as children grow up, and suggesting there is a fixed level of understanding that marks the black/white point of accountability for acts of sin is, well, messy, because it applies a litmus test of salvation to an understanding of Jesus that can vary in degree in several different ways. And that's not even addressing cases of people who have mental handicaps. Some people are mildly handicapped, others severely so. On another thread someone suggested an age of 12 or 13 which was a formal age of spiritual accountability in some way but.... I just see it as "messy" theology that doesn't exist with Newton's portrait of how things work.

How can the wisdom and justice from God even be questioned OR answered sufficiently? It can't. His justice is...perfect. It doesn't get any better or more fair than that. In this world, of course "fairness" often appears lopsided, but that's without seeing the End Game.

Many times the Christian answer to things like "why did my child have to die" or "why did I have to be hit by a car and now be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life" are answered in such ways as "Only God in his great wisdom knows the answers to this". Newton, however, provides much more pragmatic answers that make complete sense, such as "Your child died because you need to learn to accept such tragedy without taking it out on your wife, children or your friends. You need to learn to continue to be a loving father, husband and helpful friend to those around you and not resort to self-pity, bitterness and jealousy toward those who have children, like you've done on your last several lives when this happened". Or "you are now in a wheelchair because you need to learn to accept charitable love from those who care about you, because you have been too arrogant about your own strengths in past lives where you have flaunted the strength of your physical body". Or perhaps "You are in a wheelchair so you can better learn to use your great spiritual abilities to befriend and help others through conversing with them or helping others by writing books. This way your body won't be a distraction".

What do you find "refreshing" about Newton's philosophy in dealing with death and suffering? And how could one trust his word on his version or portrait of "The truth"? I think what people are seeking is...a valid Authority and End Game. Who or what would this be according to Newton? Is it trackable? Does Newton believe there's a genesis or original Creator?

For me, it's not a case of simply taking Newton's word. It's a case of his information corroborating my own experiences, presenting a "clean" theology that not only works well without the need of theological "band-aids", but also works perfectly fine with the current scientific fields in areas of biology, cosmology, as well as ethics and morality. It also corroborates present day accounts of reincarnation, as well as psychological matters of phobias and even parapsychological issues of premonitions, out-of-body experiences, deja vu, child prodigies, even ghosts. In my view, biblical Christianity doesn't come close to providing the answers to contemporary issues and mysteries that Newton does.

I think what people are seeking is...a valid Authority and End Game. Who or what would this be according to Newton? Is it trackable? Does Newton believe there's a genesis or original Creator?

This is too big a question to answer here. I must refer you to his books. I will say though that reincarnation does not happen simply for the purpose of happening. Souls are created on a continuing basis, and we have a first earth life (there are those today on their first life as well as their final life), and we freely choose to return here with each life for a specific purpose(s) or lesson(s), all to improve spiritually. Every life is chosen freely, knowing the circumstances we enter into, so life is always completely fair. We eventually do reach a point where we stop incarnating, when further earthly incarnations are of insufficient value for spiritual development. Thereafter we continue developing in a role that includes guiding lessor developed (younger) souls.

The concept of reincarnation usually strikes people as completely crazy when they first hear of it because it isn't compatible with their current assumptions of whatever sort. As a kid I remember my dad commenting in response to someone on TV espousing reincarnation: "how do you explain the rising population of earth?" (a point I agreed with at the time). But this issue and others are all covered. If one is willing to reconsider long held assumptions about life, then reincarnation can make complete sense. But I do not hold it against anyone for not wanting to consider it, or considering it and discounting it.

That's when the entry point or presupposition is based on babies possibly sinniing instead of God's Grace.

This baby issue may be an issue for you and many others. It is not an issue for God.

Babies and the young who can't know better, don't know better are still covered under God's grace. I realize a lot of the so-called "messy" stuff regarding "sin" comes from Catholic teachings, so naturally a lot of unnecessary confusion, resentment, and hostility toward an "unfair" God arises as a result.

At what point and to what extent God first holds someone responsible can't be measured chronologically, but we can be sure that any "fixed level" of accountability is measured fairly, AND with consideration to environmental factors, etal factors.

As to the mentally handicapped, again, only God can judge (as a matter of knowing their heart.)

The answer in the Bible is very clear. The basis of the Judgement is found in John 3:19. Light (Christ) has come into the world, and men are condemned because they love darkness (sin) rather than light. Babie are not moral agents in that they do not have the capability to choose or reject light, and therefore are not condemned.

What is Newton's work with "Life Between Lives (LBL)® Hypnotherapy"? (from Newton's site):

"A deep hypnotic process, developed over many years, designed to reconnect you with your soul self, your guiding beings and thereby awaken an understanding of your immortal identity."

Newton is awfully presumptive in his premise, isn't he?

According to Newton, man's natural state of consciousness and sentience buries the "connection with your soul." Not only that, but only upon succumbing to his technique of deep hypnosis is man "awakened" with an understanding of our very "identity." What certainty is there in his subjective claims here? "Research"? By what authority does he claim to know "The Truth"? How does he, his subjects, as well as believers know for sure that these "awakenings" isn't actually implanted memories through the power of suggestion, or spiritual demons masquerading as "past lives"?

‘A deep hypnotic process’ … the achievement of complete physical relaxation, guided by suggestions given by the therapist but created entirely by the client, in which awareness is altered and the subconscious and even higher levels of the mind can be accessed

"Awareness" and reality is altered, the subconscious accessed and relinquished, completely opening the subject to power of "suggestion." Drugs and alcohol ironically happen to accomplish the same without a skilled hypnotist. In all cases it's a dangerous game Mr. Newton plays. There is good reason that God has created a firewall to our normal consciousness. Because people like Newton are attempting to re-program them.

‘Developed over many years’ … The Newton Method of LBL Hypnotherapy is the result of more than 25 years of initial research by Michael Newton with over 7,000 of his clients – research that continues to build via TNI [The Newton Institute], the organisation he developed to continue his work

‘Designed to reconnect you with your soul self’ … each of us is so much more than the physical aspect we can see. We are a combination of the energies, experiences and learnings of countless previous lives; each life a set of contrasting experiences that embody the variety of lessons our inner, eternal self seeks to learn in its quest for development and perfection. That core, eternal self, always searching for growth and new levels of understanding, is our soul self…

Attainment of "perfection"? "eternal self"? Would those terms happen to confer a "God-like" self hidden within the rabbit-hole of the "self -- if only some shaman like Michael Newton was able to extract it?

Newton can provide no proof of the theory reincarnation or karma, but let's assume the premise that past lives along with all past "experiences and lessons" are able to be extracted. Is mere recall and understanding confer any such penance or universal forgiveness? Who is the arbiter of such "lessons"? Newton? A blue-ribbon panel of from his TNI? The sins of several lives have already been committed and accrued. Who or what has paid the price for those sins? What of the current life with its current running tab of sins? Who pays for those? Someone in the next life ? (who must hope he/she meets a disciple of Michael Newton?

‘Your guiding beings’ … Michael Newton’s research enabled him to assemble a model of the spiritual realm. He documented consistent reports from thousands of clients of the existence and incredible support offered by countless Higher Beings in the inter-life; personal guides and teachers, all ready to guide each one of us through and between each life. Wisdom and insights you can now access through LBL Hypnotherapy…

I'd also submit that Newton's realm IS "an assembled model" of the spiritual realm. Unfortunately, it's a realm that is based on deception and lies. Not that I don't believe in "personal guides and teachers" from both within this world as well as the metaphysical spirit world -- I do. They just happen to be working for the "other team." Without our spiritual sentry guarding the gates of consciousness, the obvious danger of hypnotism is invasion of unwanted malevolent spirits with a free run at our mind and soul, and possible hijacking.

‘Awaken an understanding of your immortal identity’ … enlightenment, a more complete perception of who you really are as the sum total of your past lives, the collaboration of your soul with other souls and with its guides and teachers, and what you are learning now. A sense of the eternity of the soul…and an end to the fear of physical death…

Nothing new under the sun here; Newton is selling an escape from the judgement of God...because according to his institute of so-called enlightenment, we are our own God. Eternal punishment is erased from the equation. The tenets of Gospel with Salvation thru Christ is not needed. Forgiveness a personal matter of self-atonement and self-love, as well as and self-anointing of grace. All based on this regression of past lives and digging deep to "know" and reveal the inner god-self. Wrapped up in a neat, simplistic package. No "messes" here.

If there's something I've missed in my assesment, please do correct me.

Newton is awfully presumptive in his premise, isn't he?

"Presumptive" means based on unsupported facts or beliefs. On it's face, the statement you're referring to IS "developed over many years" with clients while under hypnosis, so it not based on presumption.

According to Newton, man's natural state of consciousness and sentience buries the "connection with your soul." Not only that, but only upon succumbing to his technique of deep hypnosis is man "awakened" with an understanding of our very "identity." What certainty is there in his subjective claims here? "Research"? By what authority does he claim to know "The Truth"? How does he, his subjects, as well as believers know for sure that these "awakenings" isn't actually implanted memories through the power of suggestion, or spiritual demons masquerading as "past lives"?

First, people do not "succumb" to hypnosis. Unwilling subjects simply won't be hypnotized. Second, he doesn't claim to know "the truth" per se. He has only presented things he has discovered in his work, and is reasonably objective. For example, in one interview, he was asked about demons and hell. He does not categorical state they do not exist. Rather, he states that he has seen no evidence of such things in any of the work he has done, and presents his own theory (and emphasizes it is his theory) as to why some people who have near death experiences relate seeing images of hell and such (he says the physical trauma associated with most NDE's, combined with mental conditioning, are the reason some people think they have seen such things). Whether true or not is another topic, but my point is, Newton with such an answer demonstrates an attitude of balance and fair reason with regards to his work.

If power of suggestion were an explanation, then we wouldn't expect to see such consistent information from many thousands of clients from all walks of life, including diverse religions, nationalities and cultures. Sure you can just claim he must have done this suggesting himself, but he denies asking leading questions in his work... I.e. he asks "what do you see?" not "Do you see (whatever)?".

How does he know demons are not feeding lies to him through clients that are under hypnosis? He doesn't. That is an objective possibility, and in my view about the only possibility a strict bible believing Christian can cling to in claiming there is no truth to Newton's work.

"Awareness" and reality is altered, the subconscious accessed and relinquished, completely opening the subject to power of "suggestion." Drugs and alcohol ironically happen to accomplish the same without a skilled hypnotist. In all cases it's a dangerous game Mr. Newton plays. There is good reason that God has created a firewall to our normal consciousness. Because people like Newton are attempting to re-program them.

Reality is not altered. Drugs and alcohol (another drug) do alter one's mental state, but 7000 drunk people won't agree on a whole lot of things about the afterlife. I'm guessing you don't know much about hypnosis, but are simply stereotyping it with your own bias and then discounting it. I state that respectfully. Mild hypnosis is a common thing all of us are familiar with, like in such times when we drive home from work, get out of the car, and then realize we have no real memory of the trip. Meditation can be classed as another mild form of hypnosis, as could deep prayer and the effects of fasting.

Newton can provide no proof of the theory reincarnation or karma,

He can provide evidence in support of reincarnation. Proof is a higher level, and one that no religion has ever obtained (otherwise there wouldn't be so many around today).

but let's assume the premise that past lives along with all past "experiences and lessons" are able to be extracted. Is mere recall and understanding confer any such penance or universal forgiveness? Who is the arbiter of such "lessons"?

In the spirit world, passion for one's short comings and successes in earthly lives appear to be greatly amplified without the substantial interference of the human mind. You yourself will be acutely aware of how you lived, where you succeeded and where you failed, who you hurt and who you helped, and this knowledge is known to guides and "elders" as some have referred to them. But they are not "arbiters". You must understand you are bringing to this discussion a preconceived idea that any true model of the spirit world must have atonement for sin as an element. But the model presented by Newton simply does not have that. There is no "sin" that must be washed away through a perfect blood sacrifice, thus creating a litmus test of salvation on judgement day.

What of the current life with its current running tab of sins? Who pays for those? Someone in the next life?

There is some similarity in the concept of karma and sin. Both hold that ill deeds need to be paid for through a form of suffering. Karma would state that one who commits evil acts, great or small, in one life is due to return in another life and suffer as a victim in the same way he harmed in a prior life. I think that idea is pretty widespread in Hindu culture, which of course believes in reincarnation.

What Newton says is this: That souls that victimize others in whatever way in one life will in fact volunteer for a subsequent life which is destined to be a similar victim. It is voluntary. No one is forced to incarnate, but souls will choose such lives knowing what awaits them, and they do so in order to better appreciate the harm they imposed on others. It's all part of the path of spiritual growth, which is the whole point of earthly life.

One could speculate that the concept of "sin", or even the Catholic idea of purgatory descended from this aspect of spiritual life. But no, there is no tribunal judgement where we are accused by any holy being of being evil. While Newton says there is an appearance shortly after death before a panel of beings, there is nothing but overwhelming love flowing from all on it, in spite of whatever failures of whatever magnitude one has committed. They will be aware of the failures, but even so, the harshest judge, by far, will be one's own conscience. And I think THAT is a description fitting of an Almighty God. Not one that gives anyone the "evil eye".

I'd also submit that Newton's realm IS "an assembled model" of the spiritual realm. Unfortunately, it's a realm that is based on deception and lies. Not that I don't believe in "personal guides and teachers" from both within this world as well as the metaphysical spirit world -- I do. They just happen to be working for the "other team." Without our spiritual sentry guarding the gates of consciousness, the obvious danger of hypnotism is invasion of unwanted malevolent spirits with a free run at our mind and soul, and possible hijacking.

You are of course free to believe what you will, but I don't think you have any evidence in claiming this. You say Newton has no proof of the truth of the information he gives. Do you have proof, or just faith, that evil spirits are feeding him lies?

Nothing new under the sun here; Newton is selling an escape from the judgement of God...because according to his institute of so-called enlightenment, we are our own God. Eternal punishment is erased from the equation. The tenets of Gospel with Salvation thru Christ is not needed. Forgiveness a personal matter of self-atonement and self-love, as well as and self-anointing of grace. All based on this regression of past lives and digging deep to "know" and reveal the inner god-self. Wrapped up in a neat, simplistic package. No "messes" here.

It absolutely is a different model from the biblical/Christian model, but it's one that's IMO is more fitting and makes more sense. It has empirical evidence in support, and one that fits present day observations in the world much better. It doesn't conflict with contemporary science claims of evolution, or cosmology, or the possibility of life existing elsewhere in the universe.

Evidence in support of Christianity consists of ancient texts and archeology. And, quite frankly, that's just about all it has. Some here claim Christianity has witnesses, but I disagree. Any witnesses are gone (unless, quite ironically, they reincarnated). And I should point out that the world portrayed by Newton does not mean there could not have been a Jesus walking the earth doing miracles 2000 years ago. That's quite possible in the Newton model. There are good stories in the bible, and good lessons that can be obtained from them. And Christianity does have elements that are true and beneficial to people. And there are some awesome Christians around helping people in good ways and I think that's great.

Best...

Now I am not saying that I disagre, that discussion may come later, but, this sounds a lot like the theology of all, before a certain age, go to heaven, which is wrong and not supported by any scripture that I am aware of.
