How is Ecology Being Affected

by the Occult?

Former vice-President Al Gore has received applauds from both gurus and shamans for his book, Earth in the Balance even though he is deeply critical of conservative Christians.  Gore demonstrates his fervent support of Buddhism, Hinduism, Native American Spiritism, and the “global environment crisis.”  The need for a balance between mankind and his environment is due to “an outer manifestation of an inner crisis that is for lack of a better word, spiritual!”1

While Christianity is deplorable, Native American religions offer “a rich tapestry of ideas about our relationship to the earth.”  When President Franklin Pierce wanted to buy the land of Chief Seattle and his tribe, the Chief wanted to know, “Will you teach your children what we have taught our children.  That the earth is our mother?  This we know:  the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth.”2

Even former President Bill Clinton has joined in the eco-agenda to prevent the apocalypse said to be immanently upon mankind.  In order to educate Americans, the public needs to be taught the threat of global warming.3  However, as scientists have consistently proven, the supposed global warming threat is itself nothing more than a bunch of hot air.   Reports from the National Climatic Data Center, state that there is no hard proof of global warming.  One scientist concluded, “There are simply too many natural climate variations—which have nothing to do with humans….”4

In essence, the environmental movement is not about social concerns, rather it is a spiritual movement.  God warned mankind about those who have “changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever” (Rom. 1:25).  Rather than revere creation, the Creator commands “all the earth to fear the LORD:  let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him” (Ps. 33:8).  The environmental movement seeks to unite all religions under the threat of the planet’s survival as even the “Earth Year ’90:  A Rite of Celebration” hosted by the Benedictine Sisters demonstrated.  For the sake of the planet, the world’s religions are urged to set aside doctrinal differences to unite in an effort to bring about a new spirituality with the issue of ecology at its center.  Christians can be concerned for the environment, but must not let ecology take precedence over the great commission.  The concerns of the environmental movement should be an opportunity to explain the cause and only solution that is Jesus Christ.

Of course, anyone that disagrees with ecologists is a being a hindrance to the evolution of mankind.  This is the root of all roads in the New Age—a spiritual awakening or initiation.  Gore wants mankind to embrace a goddess religion, which was “eliminated by Christianity,” because such an understanding of Mother Goddess “offers us new insights into the nature of the human experience.”5

Gore’s statement is completely anti-Christian.  His philosophy denies the eternal Fatherhood of God and by doing such brings in “damnable heresies” (2 Pet. 2:1).  God does not create ex deo as a woman’s body does, rather he creates ex nihilo.  Tal Brooke, president of the Spiritual Counterfeits Project in Berkeley, writes that the ethical and moral issue raised by ecology is “an anti-Christian program that would further erase God while polluting the souls of the collective.6  Is this not what Paul called “oppositions of science falsely so called” (1 Tim. 6:20)?
