New Age occultists always pull up the same few verses.

The truth of what I shared earlier holds. If there be no truth, value or meaning in such sharings, those parts will evaporate like mist in the noon-day sun. But what is of eternal value and meaning maintains.

Truth, wisdom, light is universal by nature.

'God' is LIGHT.

Divine Science is simply the recognition of the fundamental reality of 'Spirit', and a system of principles that coordinate with that universal knowledge and knowing. Since it is 'knowledge', it is foundational to its own reality and is concordant with the laws and principles that inhere within it and are behind its law of expression, the pattern and movement of creation. 'Knowledge' is key to all that exists, so 'science' is at the heart of existence, it is intrinsic to creation.

"The kingdom of heaven is within you"

"To be spiritually minded is life and peace"

"Even now you are sons of God"

"you are the light of the world"

"you are the temple of God"

'New Age' is just a descriptive term, that can apply to any view, school or context. Plenty of Bible verses speak of a 'new age' to come, so with right knowledge and understanding, there is nothing to fear about the term, despite typical polemics and christian apologetics disparaging it. Divine truth, knowledge and wisdom is timeless really, although some aspects of its revelation unfold through dispensations.

'Occult' knowledge also is just knowledge that is hidden, secret or 'apocryphal'....it is of mystery, shrouded, and available to those who devote time and study to discover the deeper esoteric truths, precepts and principles. The Bible and other religious books are full of 'occult' symbols, terms and allegorical descriptions.
