Acupuncture and Acupressure
A technique that is based on the same principle as Taoism [false religious belief in balance of forces]. According to The New Complete Medical and Health Encyclopedia volume four (Lexicon publications © 1977) page 1253: “Among the oldest known manuscripts from early Chinese cultures is ‘The Yellow Emperor’s Canon of Internal Medicine’, written about 400 B.C., which contains a description of the relationships between acupuncture and the religious philosophy of Tao.” Acupuncture is a Taoistic belief. Taoism is a false and spiritually dangerous religion. Taoism is a belief in the ‘balance of forces’ in nature; or yin yang principle. Taoism is the principle behind deceptive healing methods such as: electro-acupuncture, magnetic healing, auraic healing, therapeutic touch, shiatsu massage, and acupuncture/acupressure, etc. Encarta Dictionary defines Taoism as: “a popular Chinese religion that seeks harmony and long life through the philosophy of Taoism combined with pantheism and magical practices”. Pantheism is the belief in all deities, and magic is witchcraft. Though some people appear to be healed using these false religious methods what effect is it having on their mind – and most important their soul/spirit. If the people using these methods are Christians, they may be exchanging an eternity with God for false healing methods. Matthew 16:25-26: For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Not to say that it is bad for a person to desire to be healed, but we must be careful by what means we are seeking to receive a healing, especially as Christians!
