How can we make such a bold statement? Simply be reading their own publicity and then applying the Bible to these statements. For example, their website says: QUOTE:"...therefore, A Course in MiraclesŪ diverts sharply from the Christian thinking that God created the world."

The following is is an extract from the official "A Course In Miracles" website:

QUOTE: "If we have difficulty believing that it is Jesus who speaks in the Course, it may be helpful to know that the Course itself considers Jesus to be a symbol of love. What matters is not whether this is the 'historical Jesus' but, more importantly, whether we can accept the message of love and forgiveness, which transcends all symbols, as well as any limitations of space and time."

OUR ANSWER: By focussing on "love and forgiveness" and admitting "the historical Jesus" does not matter, except as a SYMBOL OF LOVE, the Jesus of the Bible is denied and cast aside. Indeed, the unavoidable conclusion is that the "Jesus" who speaks on the course is demonic.

In answering the question "Is this the only path to truth? they give the following answer:

QUOTE: "No. The Course is a comprehensive thought system, which does not require any additions to set us on the way home. Yet the Course makes it abundantly clear that Jesus does not have a monopoly on the truth. Jesus is a manifestation of Christ, as many other world teachers were, and still are. We perceive these teachers as unique and separate human beings, until we have advanced enough to recognise that they are all one and that we are ready to join them in bringing about the salvation of the world."

QUOTE: "We should, therefore, be careful not to see A Course in MiraclesŪ as the only way (or even the best way) to salvation. This is an easy trap to fall into, especially for new students. Other paths may be equally valid, and it is not for us to judge whether someone else is making spiritual progress. Rather than by evangelising, you teach the Course by how you interact with those you meet, and by bringing peace to conflict."

QUOTE: "At the same time, we may find it difficult to combine the approach of the Course with that of other religions or philosophies. Many concepts of the Course may conflict with other teachings, and to try to combine another distinct spiritual path with A Course in MiraclesŪ, could do a dis-service to both. This comment applies in particular to traditional Christianity and the Course: there are many fundamental differences which make it difficult to follow both paths simultaneously."

OUR ANSWER: We say: There is only one true Christ who offers salvation, namely Jesus Christ and he said: "I am the way, the truth and the life; no-one comes to the Father except by me."
