July 8, 2024|Defending the Faith




Who Was Alice Bailey?

Alice Bailey (1880-1949) was a British writer and theosophist known for her influential works on occultism and spirituality. She founded the Arcane School, which promotes esoteric philosophy. Bailey's teachings, often considered controversial, have had a lasting impact on New Age thought.

The 10-Point Plan to Destroy the Church

Bailey outlines a 10-point plan to undermine traditional Christian values and transform society. This plan, often discussed in Christian circles, includes the following points:

1. Take God and prayer out of the education system.

2. Reduce parental authority over the children.

3. Destroy the Judeo-Christian family structure.

4. If sex is free, then make abortion legal and accessible.

5. Make divorce easy and legal. Free people from the concept of marriage for life.

6. Make homosexuality an alternative lifestyle.

7. Debase art; make it run mad.

8. Use media to promote and change mindsets.

9. Create an interfaith movement.

10. Get governments to make all these laws and get the church to endorse these changes.

The Bible provides a clear counter-narrative to these points, emphasizing the importance of maintaining godly principles in every aspect of life.
