This review is from: Conversations with God : An Uncommon Dialogue (Book 1) (Hardcover)
Let's consult scripture, shall we? I mean, clearly this book is written from man's wisdom, from man's fallacious understanding. The Bible says that "the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength" (1Cor. 1:25). The Bible also states, in clear opposition to Mr. Walsch, "as it is written, none is righteous, no, not one, no one understands, no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one. Their throat is an open grave, they use their tongues to deceive. The venom of asps is on their lips. Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood; in their paths are ruin and misery, and the way of peace they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes." (Roman 3: 10-18) This is the state of all humankind save for those who call upon the precious name of Jesus, who died for those He whom He predestined before the foundation of the earth; and he was raised again to sit at the right hand of the Father and intercede for us until we reign with Him in glory! We are not okay! The answers do not come from inside of us! We are nothing without Christ! This book is complete and total heresy, and it is written for what our itching ears want to hear. We all want to hear that we are okay, and we all want people to agree with us and pat us on the back and tell us that we are not in error, but the FACT IS....we are utterly depraved to the core and it affects our hearts and our minds. We can not do any good without the working of the Holy Spirit in our lives! Mr. Walsch also states that we can forgive ourselves for our past mistakes. FORGIVE OURSELVES????? That is complete lunacy! Forgiveness only comes from God. True cleansing comes from confessing our sins and when God applies the righteousness of Christ to our account! The Bible states, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness" (1John 1:9). Also, true confession includes turning FROM something and turning TO something else. Putting ON Christ and putting OFF sin! STAY AWAY FROM THIS BOOK. It is like a wolf in sheep's clothing. The cover looks very nice, but inside, the devil speaks through an advocate of his, Mr. Walsch.
