Greetings
Anything outside the scope of the institutionalized Christian dogma is demonized and labelled.
New Age is just another label like Pagan and Heathen.
Christian teachings, whether they want to admit it or not, come from these same pagan/heathen elements they demonize.
Y'shua was a hebrew. He followed the Torah. Many of the things in the Torah, or excuse me...Old Testament, is considered pagan by Christians.
No one comes here and say that Christians must follow the livity of Y'shua and follow the Torah and the prophets and not the "New" Testament, which was written well after his transition.
Yet they say that Rastafari sonz and daughter must follow the Christian doctrine because InI Negus was Christian?
Hypocrisy!
What we know of Christianity today is primarily from the writings of Paul to the Churches in the asia minor region. The gospels and revelations were written well after the apparent death of Y'shua.
But anyhow...
If ones were to focus on the esoteric teachings attributed to Y'shua, they might not see any difference than the teachings of Buddha or Amenomope.
If ones even studied anything about voudon and let go of the westernized portrayal of it, then they might see the righteousness of the faith.
But because they are stuck on doctrine/dogma, they will never approach the Ites.
