On Bell’s national tour, Everything is Spiritual,8 Bell tells his audiences that God is in everything…

Jack Canfield said he felt God flowing through all things. . . .

This is classic pantheism. Use the force, Luke!

Such reasoning implies that God has given His glory to all of creation; since Satan is part of creation, then he too shares in this glory, and thus is “like the Most High.” . . .

That is the most stretched out leap of flawed logic that I’ve seen to date. If anyone has ever been subject to Satan and his demons, then freed to be subject to Jesus Christ, they would know in their heart that Satan is NOTHING like the Most High God. The hired hand does not care about the flock and has no respect for human free-will whatsoever.

It will take an unprecedented act of courage, on a grand scale. You may have to do something virtually unknown in the annals of human history. . . . You may have to give up some of your most sacred beliefs. . . . let me make something clear. The era of the Single Savior is over. What is needed now is joint action, combined effort, collective co-creation.11

In other words, we are borg, resistance is futile.

I was invited to a native ceremony normally closed to white people. They prayed prior to eating “in Jesus’ name” then proceeded to do some extended native ritual after dinner. Whatever spirit was present, it was visually and emotionally affecting the young men and women of that tribe. I could see clearly that it was not of God, but I don’t think most people in the room realized this. Their village is still plagued with demonic manifestations straight out of a “poltergeist” movie such as unexplained electrical disorders and “people” appearing and disappearing.

So why can’t they abandon the old ways? Fear. They associate these rituals with tribal identity. No rituals, no tribe. If only they knew that God can grant individuals a new, better identity…in Him. The true, living God wants sons and daughters, not slaves.
