Basics of Native American Religions:
What are commonly referred to as Native American Religions generally see all of life as interconnected, but not in Christ Jesus. A factor is generally the belief that objects, plants, and animals are possessed by spirits, and that those spirits must be appeased through occult methods. They certainly promote much occult practice.
Native American Religions don’t realize that Jesus is divine, Savior, or true God and true man. They do realize that there is a personal Supreme Being (many refer to the “Great Spirit”) who is Creator and beneficent and who empowers lesser spiritual beings; of course, the devils also believe and tremble.
Native American Religions lose out on the true authority of the Bible and the leading of the Holy Spirit to unveil the interpretation of the Bible. They also miss the authority of the biblical church order to safeguard revelation. Instead, they follow Oral & written tradition, folklore, and the accumulated wisdom of the tribe.
Native American Religions don’t have the knowledge that humanity is lost and in need of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
Native American Religions don’t understand that sin has separated us from the true God and that there is no way, other than through the salvation that God has provided through Jesus, that we can be reconciled to God.
Native American Religions depend on human-generated righteousness.
There are obvious parallels between New Age, the occult, and most Native American Religions.
