ACIM AND THE BIBLE - NEW AGE - A COURSE OF MIRACLES Wapnick said that if the Bible were considered literally true, then (from a Biblical literalists viewpoint) the Course would have to be viewed as demonically inspired.[12] Although a friend of Schucman, Thetford, and Wapnik, Catholic priest Benedict Groeschel has criticized ACIM and the related organizations. Finding some elements of ACIM to be what he called severe and potentially dangerous distortions of Christian theology, he wrote that it is a good example of a false revelation[13] and that it has become a spiritual menace to many”.[14] The evangelical editor Elliot Miller says that Christian terminology employed in ACIM is thoroughly redefined to resemble New Age teachings. Other Christian critics say that ACIM is intensely anti-Biblical and incompatible with Christianity, blurring the distinction between creator and created and forcefully supporting the occult and New Age world view.[15] ACIM has been the basis for a number of public speakers such as Marianne Williamson and also spiritual leaders such as Jon Mundys Interfaith Fellowship.[2] The skeptic Robert T. Carroll criticizes ACIM as a minor industry that is overly commercialized and characterizes it as Christianity improved, saying its teachings are not original and suggesting they are culled from various sources, east and west.[16]From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
