Twisted Scripture 2 Timothy 4:4

False teachers replace the truth of the gospel with fables or myths. In his book, In My Soul I Am Free, Paul Twitchell, the man behind Eckankar, taught his students the so-called ability to separate soul and body, enabling them to engage in astral travel to all parts of the world and transcend the various spheres of the universe until they attain ultimate salvation. Scientologists believe that spirit beings called Thetans, living 74 trillion years ago, used the evolutionary process to create human beings, whose bodies they now inhabit. Whenever a human dies, the indwelling Thetan reincarnates into another body. Urantia, embracing a combination of Seventh-day Adventist and New Age doctrines, is another new religious movement that teaches a fanciful creation story. According to its scenario, planet earth, originally called Urantia, was created by Michael of Nebadon, one trillion years ago. Michael eventually came to earth as the man Jesus. The apostle Paul predicted a day when many will reject the truth and turn to fables.
