The Misuse of the Bible to Advance World Religion

May 17, 2026 / Pastor Scott Boerckel / Psalms 46:10 / East White Oak Bible Church

Intro Notes:

1. The wrong use of biblical language in combination with Eastern mysticism

2. The equally wrong attempt to paint heresy everywhere as either Eastern mysticism or demythologizing

3. What is the right way to think?

Table Talk Questions

What is wrong with people using Christian language and even Bible verses when they seek to make a broader audience for a non-Christian belief system?
Why is being ignorant of Eastern mysticism a problem, particularly when Eastern mystics invoke the Bible as a support for Eastern mystic thought?
What is wrong with a Christian participating in yoga? Why might the “empowerment” that yoga promises be dangerous?
Why do people seek a mystical experience in their Christian walk? How might that be dangerous? On the other hand, why do people seek to “demythologize” Christianity, emptying it of the miraculous? Is there a better path than those two?
Why should we exercise care in painting everything that we disagree with as either Eastern mysticism or demythologizing?
What can protect us from the hazards of the use of biblical language to support non-biblical ideas?
