Dear John & Doves,
 
Here is an Episcopal Church in Fullerton, California that is selling a booklet called "Walking The Virtual Labyrinth A Path to the Presence of God within" at http://www.emmanuelfullerton.org/fr_paul/Labyrinth.htm  The article says, "The labyrinth is the most powerful spiritual exercise to learn how to access the Presence of God which is within all of us."  However, Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh to the Father, but by me." We have access to the Lord through prayer, through reading the Bible daily, and through his Holy Spirit who indwells the believer according to Romans 8:11.  Page 2 at http://www.emmanuelfullerton.org/fr_paul/labyrinth_page_2.htm  says "the power is in the shuffle. "The spirtual power of the labyrinth is not in the size of the walk, but in the walk itself."  However, Paul told us in Romans 8:1, "There is therefore no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."  Page 4 at http://www.emmanuelfullerton.org/fr_paul/labyrinth_page_4.htm says, "As we walk a labyrinth daily, we will get a feel for being in the Presence."  You don't need to walk a labyrinth to access the Lord.  Page 5 says, "At the center of the labyrinth is the Presence that is in all of us. It is called the "God Spot." http://www.emmanuelfullerton.org/fr_paul/labyrinth_page_5.htm  The only presence that is inside of the Christian is the Holy Spirit and not something called a "God Spot."
 
I don't know why this Episcopal Church is promoting this spiritual exercise using a labyrinth.  It's just another sign of the falling away from the faith in these latter days that Christians think they need some powerful exercise to learn how to access the Presence of God within us. However, in ancient Greece, the Minotaur lived inside the labyrinth, and he had a man's body with the head of a bull.  I was just reading this link at http://www.minotaur-websites.com/minomyth.htm and this is the first time I ever knew that the Minotaur was the result of bestiality, but of course, Satan would be behind the sin of bestiality just like he is behind promoting this spiritual exercise using a labyrinth.  Every time I find one of these articles I wonder what else I will discover about apostasy and Christians falling away from the faith in the coming days.
 
God bless,
