Can Christians Follow New Age Beliefs?
Can Christians Follow New Age Beliefs?Answer: There is nothing inherently anti-Christian about New Age beliefs, although some Christians (primarily more conservative ones) object to various New Age beliefs. Indeed, most New Age beliefs do not belong to any one religion, and many New Agers are also Christian by religion. For example, angelology is commonly labeled as New Age yet is rooted in Judeo-Christian lore. Reiki is a method of focusing energy to provide healing, which practitioners rarely find at odds with religious beliefs and may even view it as a God-given talent or a task taken up out of love for their fellow man, as they believe God desires. Liberal Christians generally find little resistance to adopting New Age practices. Conservative Christians are more likely to consider the metaphysical claims of the New Age to be demonic in nature.
