Christian response to Akashic records
What is a Christian's response to Akashic records? In particular, how can I help someone who is deeply involved in this thought? How then do we explain a reading? Is this of the devil? Also, is there a reasonable, apologetic argument to make that the Bible is not one of many sacred writings but that it is the sole authority?
One dictionary defines “Akashic record” as “An alleged record of all events, actions and thoughts that have ever occurred or ever will, which is linked to akasha, the so-called astral light.” People with special abilities are said to be able to access information and relay it to others.
A Christian response to Akashic records is to reject the idea as being unbiblical. It is God who knows all things (Job 34:21; Psalm 139:1-4; 147:5; Hebrews 4:13; 1 John 3:20). God forbids people from trying to obtain knowledge from spiritists and mediums (Leviticus 19:31; Deuteronomy 18:10-12; Isaiah 8:19-20). God’s word provides direction for life (Psalm 119:105).
Satan, who “masquerades as an angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14), seeks to distract people from God’s word and the truth they need in life. What you are asking about can be another way in which Satan carries out his work. You could help your friend the best by encouraging regular contact with God’s word through worship, Bible class and personal study. Pray also that God will open eyes and hearts to see, believe and confess the truth.
How can we be sure that God’s word is our sole authority in life? The answer to a similar question may be of help to you. This link will take you to that information. God bless the help you are offering to your friend.
