There is no paradise in Theosophy. A Theosophist can reach the state of "Nirvana," in which the personality is absorbed in the impersonal world, losing all individual consciousness.

A Biblical Analysis of Theosophy

Madame Blavatsky's adherence to Hindu scriptures completely negates the basic premise of the Christian faith, namely that God has given the world a unique revelation of who He is and who we are (Heb. 1:1-3). The Bible and Christianity cannot be derived from Hinduism (which it claims has happened to all religions) because God's Word is the exact opposite of the teachings of Hinduism. The denial of a personal God is a denial of the God of the Bible, the infinitely personal creator. In Theosophy there is no place for God, who created man in His own image: "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness" (Gen. 1:26). There is nothing in Scripture about a person being made up of seven parts. It is enough that it consists of body, soul, and spirit: "May the God of peace himself sanctify you in all its fullness, and may your spirit, soul, and body be preserved without blemish at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Thess. 5:23). Madame Blavatsky, like the Christian Scientists, tries to separate Christ from the person of Jesus. However, "Christ" is simply a name meaning "anointed one" or "messiah," indicating the functions of Jesus. There is no justification for any distinction between Jesus and "Christ." Moreover, the acceptance of Christ as a law, and not as a real man, is a refutation of the whole purpose of His coming: "And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us" (John 1:14). The idea of reincarnation, that people have to go through a series of lives to atone for their sins, denies what Christ did on the cross. Salvation was made complete by the sacrifice of Christ. None of us can add or subtract from it—therefore, it is not necessary to be born several times in order to accomplish what Christ has already done. The Bible teaches that there is life for everyone after death. Those who trust in Jesus Christ will dwell forever in God's presence, while those who turn away from Christ will spend eternity away from Him. The Gospel of John explains: "He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not believe in the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him" (3:36).

Conclusion

Having examined all the beliefs of Theosophy, we have found that the whole Theosophical system is contrary to Christianity. Therefore, reconciliation between them is impossible, since the supporters of Theosophy extol the theories of Buddhists and Brahma, and Christians follow only Jesus Christ.

Counsel to Those Who Bear Witness to Christ

In witnessing to a member of any cult, we should never forget to pray before meeting him. It may look like a battle in the intellectual realm or maybe in the realm of emotions, but there will be a more intense spiritual scramble behind it all. You cannot expect to win the spiritual battle in the flesh (1 Sam. 17:47). The spiritual battle may become more intense if you are dealing with a person who practices the occult, such as Theosophy. Every experienced evangelist will confirm that without great preliminary prayers, the words will lose all power. And we must follow that recommendation.

17. Forum/OSE

Although religion is not in the first place in the Forum's system of views (it has no worship), it nevertheless recognizes Zen Buddhism and rejects the basic tenets of the historical Christian faith. He talks about his compatibility with Jesus Christ and Christianity, and should be placed among the cults of the New Age because of his method of self-transformation.
