WHAT IS THE TAOIST (OR, DAOIST) BRANCH OF BUDDHISM ALL ABOUT? [3 of 6] Followers of Taoism vary in beliefs and practices, but among those are biblically abominable necromancy (contacting the dead) and Roman or Egyptian-type polytheism (worshiping many gods—Scripture also calls them idols). Taoists tend to worship mostly on their calendar’s religious holidays, setting food out as a sacrifice to the gods or the spirits of their departed ancestors. The Bible’s Deuteronomy shows us that God has some harsh condemnation for these Taoist practices: "When you enter the land that the Lord, your God has given you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter into the fire, who practices 
divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft or 
casts spells, who is a medium or spiritist, or who consults with the 
dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord. And because these are detestable practices, the Lord, your God will drive out those nations before you. You, though, must be blameless before the Lord, your God.” Obviously, God detests the practices of those who communicate with dead people. Why is that? Well, once dead, if we were Christians, we instantly go to heaven to be with God. But non-Christians suddenly find themselves in hell. From that point, we remain in either place. Thank God we do not get kicked out of heaven, but hell is also permanent. Either way, we don’t travel back to have a chat with living friends or relatives on earth. There is no second chance and we can’t communicate with the living. That said, I believe people who say some spirit entity showed up and communicated with them, but the Bible is clear about what that is: it is not your loved one, no matter what kind of familiar, luminescent, friendly, or helpful demeanor the deceiving entity portrays. 
Scripture warns that those are “familiar” spirits, just the same old demons that 
have been duping people for thousands of years. Yet, the religion of Taoism 
promotes these extremely dangerous encounters. | image tagged in taoism,daoism,buddhism,god,bible,hindu | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

WHAT IS THE HARE KRISHNA BRANCH OF BUDDHISM ALL ABOUT? [4 of 4] Unfortunately, Buddhism’s Hare Krishna branch, with its Hindu belief that followers must go through a guru to reach their millions of gods (and that the guru is a god), are setting people up to accept a future leader of the one world religion: the False Prophet. This evil religious leader (teacher, or guru) will recommend that everyone follow and eventually worship the Antichrist. During the soon-arriving Seven-Year Tribulation that will involve the wrath of God being poured out against a sinful, rebellious world, the Antichrist (“The Christ,” in New Age lingo) will go into what will be the recently rebuilt Jewish temple, and declare himself to be God. Again, prior to all this, the guru-like False Prophet—a religious leader 
that will have gotten the world’s unbiblical faiths to band together—
will lead the masses straight into the hands of the Antichrist. A strong candidate to have their followers join in, doing as they are told, is ISKCON (The International Society for Krishna Consciousness), a Hare Krishna organization founded in 1966 by a guru in New York City. ISKCON puts its members into a communal setting, where intricate rules have been established so that all their follower’s discussions and the rest of their day-to-day lives are deliberately centered around Krishna—no other thoughts are permitted. So, they’ve created communes that are mental prisons, not allowing residents to think outside the box. They are told they cannot do anything correctly when it is done outside 
the Krishna religion. They get sucked in, and are then isolated 
from outside influences. It’s exactly what cults do. | image tagged in krishna,buddism,new age,hindu,antichrist,bible | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

WHAT IS THE HARE KRISHNA BRANCH OF BUDDHISM ALL ABOUT? [3 of 4] Becoming a member of Buddhism’s Hare Krishna movement involves choosing a guru (teacher) and becoming his disciple. In fact, they believe that is mandatory, because not having a proper Hare Krishna guru supposedly makes it impossible to cultivate “Krishna consciousness.” Contrary to that practice, the Bible does not have us Christians 
go through a teacher, pastor, priest, or guru to access God. Those attending Sunrise Bible Church here in Las Vegas do not have to go through to me, the pastor, to get to God. Because of what Jesus did for us, we can approach God directly on His throne, whether we are the greatest of Bible scholars, or even a new Christian who just heard and accepted the gospel. And the doctrine for Krishna followers gets even worse: 
Besides believing that adherents must go through a guru to reach their 
millions of gods, they also teach that the guru is a god. | image tagged in krishna,buddhism,god,bible,new age,hindu | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

WHAT IS THE HARE KRISHNA BRANCH OF BUDDHISM ALL ABOUT? [2 of 4] The Krishna movement began as a reactionary response to dispassionate Buddhist Hinduism. Krishna followers participate in lavish public displays of their adoration and worship for Hindu deities. Similarly, the charismatic influence may have sprung up in the Christian Church because so many services have become somewhat boring and lifeless, often from hiring shepherds who don’t even believe what they're teaching. But our salvation through Christ is the most exciting development that has ever happened to mankind. God forgave all of our sins, so we are no longer headed for hell; instead, we get to spend eternity with God in heaven, ruling and reigning with Jesus, exploring the universe, 
and forever learning more and more about the mind of God. I'm all for that! But there is so much deadness in a huge number of Christian Churches today because we’re not spending daily time in the Bible, which is how Christians become passionate for God's truth. This has caused people to get sucked into hyper-charismatic churches, where they are often led to connect with spirits that are not from God. While I agree that many Christian Churches today are fairly lifeless, those are not accurate representations of true biblical Christianity—they’re normally not very biblical. Either way though, two wrongs don't make a right, so jumping into 
other harmful, unbiblical practices is not the answer. | image tagged in krishna,buddhism,hindu,god,bible,charismatic | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
