I clarify three important things about the Lux Forum in this video:
- The Lux Forum is not only for Christians
- How to easily particpate the forum
- There will be posts that are unrelated to the forum
If you do not want to watch all of my video, but want to know how to access the forum... see below
HOW TO EASILY PARTICIPATE THE FORUM
- If you want to reponse to my vlog, there are three things you can do:
-Post your response (comment) in English on my blog.
-Type your response in English on your blog/site and post the link to your blog on my blog
-Make a vlog response and post the link to your vlog on my blog for other people.
Spectators/debaters view your response and make their own responses to YOUR statement.
Then, the cycle begins.
For my next vlog, I will discuss exclusivity in the religions. Look forward to the next positive debate!

please see www.ascdeaf.com/blog about the secret. as a pastor, what do you think of the secret? i want to see your opinion there.
"THE SECRET" AND CHRISTIANITY
If you are a Christian, should you attempt to use this manipulation of “spiritual laws?” Some points to seriously consider are:
¨ This belief reduces the power of Jesus to a mere mechanical manipulation of “spiritual laws,” denying Jesus’ miraculous acts as the supernatural powers they were (Mk 6.2; Jn 2.11, 20.30), including his miraculous healings.
¨ The Secret puts man in the place of God, so that we are in charge of deciding what we want and when we want it, rather than petitioning God in prayer, and submitting to Him and to the principles of Scripture, realizing our life now belongs to Christ in order to glorify Him (Prov 3.5,6; 1 Cor 6.12; 2 Cor 10.5; Gal 2.20, 3.27; Eph 2.10).
¨ The Secret contradicts Jesus’ words that we should first seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness (Matt 6.33), and the teachings that we are to make Christ our priority (Rom 7:4; 2 Cor 10.5; 2 Cor 11.3; Phil 3.8; Col 3.1,3).
¨ The Secret ignores or denies what prayer is as Jesus taught and demonstrated it – an attitude of humility and submission to God’s will.
¨ The Secret contradicts the Biblical teaching that the Lord allows Christians to suffer, and that suffering can bring growth in Christ, because in our weakness, we glorify the Lord (Matt 5.12; Rom 5.3; 2 Cor 6.4-10, 12.9, 10; 2 Tim 1:8, 3.12; James 1.2; 1 Pet 1.7, 3.17, 4:11-13).
¨ Faith in the New Testament is about faith in Christ, not in self, not in a formula or spiritual law, and not in one’s ability to create reality.
¨ Any teaching that claims to reveal “secret” or hidden laws not discoverable through normal knowledge and understanding is the hallmark of esoteric occultism and, indeed, the principles of The Secret are a form of magick. Proponents of the Secret are ignoring these words of Jesus: "I have spoken openly to the world," Jesus replied. "I always taught in synagogues or at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret” (John 18.20).
¨ Jesus was neither a teacher of secret laws nor a manipulator of them. Jesus displayed miraculous powers when on earth to signify and confirm that he was the prophesied Messiah, to fulfill prophecies of healing, and because He had compassion (Matt. 4.23; 8.7, 13, 16; 9.35, 36; 11.2-5; 14.14; 15.28, 30; 20.34; Mk 1.34, 41; 6.2; Lk 4.40; 5.15; 6.17-19; 19.37; 24.26-28, 44; John 2.11, 23-24; 6.2; 14.1; Acts 2.22).
