Summary

Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar dive into the rise of Christ consciousness, a concept gaining popularity in New Age circles and even surfacing in some evangelical conversations. This belief system claims that Jesus realized the Christ, expressed it, but was not the same as Christ Himself. Christ, in this view, is seen as a universal state of enlightenment or highest being—a form of Christian consciousness or self-realization accessible to anyone regardless of faith tradition. It’s a rebranded vers...

0:00.0	We're talking about this Christ consciousness, this new age, this Gnostic feel of enlightenment,
0:07.0	but enlightening to what? It's become subjective. You want to be like Christ, but which Christ,
0:13.0	and everything is just all about me, myself, and I, right? But there's a greater problem that is associated with this,
0:20.0	because it undermines the atonement
0:22.6	with Christ. It doesn't deal with the sin problem. This is the biggest issue. We produced
0:28.6	White Christianity, a DVD, a booklet that you can get here at Living Waters, and it says that there, so many great religions, but there's only one great
0:40.1	religion, because this great religion, Christianity, it deals with man's biggest problem,
0:45.6	which is you have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, Hebrews 922. Without the shedding

1:30.5	morality may keep you out of jail, but it takes the blood of Jesus to keep you out of hell.
1:37.3	So we have to deal with it. There's a bigger issue, a bigger problem here, or as MacArthur
1:41.3	put it, the gospel is not about making bad men better,
1:45.1	but making dead men alive. Amen. So you seem to be doing better, but what are you going to do
1:52.4	on that day? When every auto word you have spoken is going to be made manifest, everything ever
1:57.8	done in darkness is going to be come out inside the light and this is why we go through those commandments
2:03.1	We get into this argument about their philosophy, but why not we just get down to the the foundation here that you've been weighed in the
