What is the truth behind Vice President╒s Albert Gore book, Earth in the Balance; Ecology and the Human Spirit. He reveals himself as one who believes we should have a ╥mother goddess╙ that we can worship. He believes that ancient religions and Hinduism god in their worship of ╥mother earth.╙ Gore claims that our modern slogan should be the worship of ╥mother earth╙; that man and nature are one, and that God is part of nature, and nature is part of God.
This is pure Pantheistic paganism in its truest form. He is just putting into words what the New Age Religion has been saying for a long time.
The Word of God is battered by Mr. Gore. His quote is: ╥Ignorant Christians who are afraid to open their minds to teachings first offered outside their own system of belief.╙ He continues. ╥By refusing to accept that the earth is our sacred mother, Christians have become a dangerous threat to the survival of humanity...╙ Christians are also bashed when he says, ╥...blights on the environment.╙ He continues, ╥To believe in Bible prophesy is unforgivable, not only is this idea heretical, it is an appallingly, self fulfilling prophesy of doom.╙
Shockingly , these antichristian words are from Vice President Albert Gore who claims to be a Southern Baptist in good standing.!
(Col 2:8-10) See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.
A. New Age Movement, - first concept
1. Must be mastered is ╥unity╙.
2. Oneness, brotherhood, universal self, universal spirit, universal soul, universal mind, universal brotherhood, human family, and interdependence.
3. Once you are aware of this concept.
a. Notice its promotion in a variety of places.
b. Watch our religious publications.
I. New Age Unity
A. Unity with all beliefs except Christianity.
Occult writer, Alice Bailey, predicted that the only sin in the New Age would be the ╥sin of separateness.╙
1. She stated in her book, The Reappearance of The Christ, ╥To hate, to be separate, and to be exclusive will come to be regarded as the only sin...╙ (p.112).
2. In other words, it is the narrow-minded, dogmatic people who are to be the only ╥sinners╙ in the New Age.
The ones who believe in One God or the Bible and Jesus Christ as the exclusive path to heaven.
2. All Christians will be considered ╥sinners╙ according to Alice Bailey╒s counterfeit teachings.
B. Gore writes on pages 258 thru 259 of his book shows where he departed from the Baptist faith and entered in to the New Age Religion.
a. ╥The richness and diversity of our religious tradition through out history is a spiritual resource long ignored by people of faith, who are often afraid to open their minds to teachings first offered outside their own system of belief.╙
b. ╥This Pan-religious perspective may prove especially important where our global civilizations responsibility for the earth is concerned.╙ ╥ Native American Religions...╙ (All of which were very pagan but he╒s touting them here) ╥for instance offer a rich tapestry of ideas about our relationship to the earth.╙ One of the most moving was attributed to Chief Seattle, who said ╥Will you teach your children what we have taught our children? That the earth is our mother? What befalls the earth, befalls all the sons of the earth. This we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth.╙
1. Gore wants of to adopt a Pan-religious paganistic world viewpoint other religions will blend with Christianity so we have a trans- New Age religious viewpoint.
C. Who will be excluded?
1. ╥Those who embody the spirit of exclusiveness and separativeness.╙ a. Those who refuse to be unequally yoked with non-Christians though a world religion.
b. Those who insist on being separate, will obviously suffer persecution if the above quote comes to pass. (see II Cor. 6:14- 17).
2. Gore advocates that we particularly be concerned with Native American Religions, all of which are very paganistic and pantheistic.
That is a direct contradiction of scripture.
a. In John 17 Jesus prayed for unity. Yes, we should strive for the unity which was a part of this prayer. However, it was based upon obedience of God╒s Word (v.17).
3. Isaiah 42:8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
a. And He means His glory is not to be given to ╥mother earth.╙
D. ╥1. Pet 5:8. ╥Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion walketh about, seeking whom he may devour; 9. Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.╙
BATTLE FOR NEW AGE
A. So what is wrong with unity?
1. John 17 shows Christian unity.
2. Unity
a. A part of Jesus prayer
b. Obedience to God╒s Word. (v. 17).
B. Understanding this plea.
a. Obey the Bible without adding men╒s commandments, (Matthew 15: 8,9).
1. The term ╥Christ╙
a. Meaning when they say ╥Christ╙
1. Alice Bailey describing the ╥Avatar of Synthesis,╙ who she says is a ╥close Associate of ╥The Christ.╙
2. Bailey says ╥He works under the great natural Law of Synthesis, producing at-one-ment, unification and fusion. b. His function (in unison with the energy of Christ) is to generate spiritual will in humanity, the will-to good
C His potency works in three fields of activity at this time:
1. Within the spiritual Heirarchy itself, revealing the nature of the divine will-to-good which the Kingdom of God must express, and the nature also of divine Purpose.
2. Within the Assembly of the United Nations, though not within the Security Council.
a. He is there generating a slowly growing will-to unity.
1. Within the masses of men everywhere, fostering the urge to a general betterment.╙ Bailey p. 77.
A. Be not deceived
D. ╥Christ Spirit.╙
1. Believe many Christs, Jesus being only one of many.
2. Bailey claims that various Christs, or Avatars, have been sent to earth at the time of great need.
a. Bailey did not believe that Jesus was the only begotten son of God.
b. She taught that there have been many Avatars, or Sons of God.
1. She mentions Hercules as being one.
2. Her primary emphasis is upon Buddha, who she calls the ╥Messenger of Light for the East,╙ and Christ, ╥The Messenger of Love for the West.╙
3. The Avatar of Synthesis is evidently supposed to bring people together into one World religion.
a. You will also notice the perversion of the the term
atonement╙ into Alice Bailey╒s ╥At-one-ment.╙
1. The United Nations obviously supports the ╥will- to- unity.╙
a. Muller also carries forth the teaching that there are many Sons of God.
E. Bailey explains how the Avatar of Synthesis would be aided by ╥The New Group of World Servers,╙ who would ╥Usher in the New Age.╙
1. She says, ╥Their work falls unto the following parts, functions or activities:
a. The production of a human synthesis or unity which will lead to an universal recognition of the one humanity, brought about though right human relations.
b. The establishing of right relations with the subhuman kingdoms in nature, leading to the universal recognition that there is One World.
3. The anchoring of the Kingdom of God, the spiritual Heirarchy (see Eph. 6: 11) of our planet, in open expression on earth, thus leading to the Universal recognition that the sons of men are one.╙ (P. 78. emphasis in original).
1. Most Christians agree that the spiritual Heirachy spoken of here is shown in Col. 2:15: ╥Having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.╙
F. Point of contention between Christianity and the spirit of the New Age - spirit of eastern religion.
1. Jesus is the Way, the truth and the light, no one comes to the Father except by Me.
a. John 6:44 ╥No man can come tome, except the Father which hath sent me draw him; and I will raise him up at the last day.╙
III. ATTACK ON WESTERN CIVILIZATION

Dear Friend-
Today millions share the conviction that there is an inner spiritual unity transcending the outer differences of faith and belief.
Since 1952 men and women of goodwill throughout the world have given practical expression to this recognition of unity and the widespread desire for joint prayer and meditation, through the celebration of WORLD INVOCATION DAY.
This year, World Invocation day is celebrated on Tuesday, May 24. On this day hundreds of thousands of people will join in using a world prayer - the Great Invocation - in order to focus human aspiration and to channel light and goodwill into the consciousness of humanity.
The Great Invocation expresses truths common to all the great religions and through its use as an instrument for light and love, it can aid in restoring the Universal Plan for Humanity on Earth.
THE GREAT INVOCATION
From the point of Light within the mind of God
Let light stream forth into the minds of men.
Let Light descend on Earth.
From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let love stream forth into the hearts of men.
May Christ return to Earth.
From the centre where the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide the little wills of men -
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.
From the centre which we call the race of men
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.
Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.
We invite you to join in this act of service to Humanity.
Thanks for your good work - (No name was given)
