薩滿角度看法師變牧師
薩滿教是什麼 ?
回答: 薩滿教是一種偽造的、反基督教的世界觀,在這種世界觀中,自然和超自然之間的中介被稱為薩滿。 薩滿教與萬物有靈論有關,即 認為 靈魂存在於物質世界 以及屬靈世 界。 萬物有靈論是現存最古老的信仰體系之一,在世界各地古老而現代的許多部落社區 中可以找到 。 今天,新薩滿教團體正在捲土重來。
薩滿教經常與其他信仰體系伊斯蘭教和基督教相融合,然後被歸類為民間宗教。 薩滿教 / 萬物有靈論通常不是一個獨立的宗教,但通常被融合成異教徒、多神論和新時代的信仰體系。
薩滿這個詞來自西伯利亞的通古斯語,翻譯為" 認識 的人"。 相關術語包括 : 媒介、巫醫、術士、驅魔師、占卜師、亡靈巫師和靈魂行者。
在萬物有靈的信仰體系中,薩滿 作為 自然和 屬靈 世界之間的中介。 在疾病、傷害、自然災害、敵人的攻擊或在自然和 屬靈 領域之間存在不平衡 的任何時候 ,薩滿被召喚。 薩滿教教導所有的事物都有 屬靈 的根源, 以及 屬靈 世界控制著自然世界,所以影響任何情況的關鍵被認為是 在於 屬靈 領域。 薩滿教的世界觀是一種作品,也是對神秘學的一種認識。 為了在自然界中取得理想的結果,薩滿依靠他的專長和他所擁有的 事物 的力量。
在萬物有靈論 / 薩滿教的信仰體系中,世界是一個令人恐懼的地方,充滿了必須被安撫的靈魂。 如果被安撫,靈魂會祝福你, 否則 ,如果 被激怒 ,他們會變得報復,傷害你或讓你生病。 薩滿被雇來進入超自然領域,找出災難的原因, 並 找到一種恢復療愈和 調和 的方法。 薩滿 令人懼怕, 在他們的部落中 具有 巨大的影響,因為他們聲稱擁有治癒的 能力以及 殺死或傷害的力量。 因此 , 不僅靈魂 必須得到撫慰 ; 薩滿也必須保持快樂。
薩滿經常使用致幻藥物、身體傷害或極端禁食來達到意識改變的狀態。
護身符,鈴鐺,鼓,歌曲,舞蹈,或吟誦可能是允許他們進入超自然領域的儀式的一部分。 薩滿還 召喚 動物 靈魂 ,並通常使用諸如岩石或骨頭之類的圖騰物品,這些物品被認為具有特殊的能力 。 死者的靈魂、動物的靈魂 或者 岩石或樹木的靈魂也可能被召喚來充當嚮導。 薩滿教認為某些地方擁有特殊的 能力 或提供通往 屬靈 世界的通道。
即使在那些遵循這種信仰體系的人當中,薩滿的角色也被認為是高風險的職業。 在 屬靈 領域航行是一項危險的任務。 抑鬱、 屬靈 疾病和使用藥物引起的死亡都是可能的。
薩滿教是早期聖經土地的基本信仰體系。 上帝命令他的子民反對異族通婚 以及 崇拜 領地之神進入 應許之地。 申命記 18 : 9-13 和其他 經文 都有強烈的指示,反對與巫 師 、 靈媒 、 亡靈巫師以及那些行巫 術 的人 交往 ( 利未記 18:21;20:2 , 4 , 6,27; 列王紀下 17:31; 歷代誌下 28:3; 33:6; 以賽亞書 57:5 ; 以西結 書 16: 21; 加拉太書 5:19-21) 。
聖經教導我們生活在敵人的領土上。 彼得前書 5 : 8 提到了這一屬靈 的爭戰以及 我們周圍看不見 之 世界的現實。 作為基督徒,我們不會 相信 薩滿、他們表演的儀式或他們使用的護身符。 相反,我們 相信上帝話語 的 能力 ( 希伯來書 4:12) ,聖靈的能力 ( 哥林多前書 2:4) ,以及福音的 大能 ( 羅馬書 1:16) 。
Shamanism is a counterfeit, anti-Christian worldview in which the intermediary between the natural and the supernatural is called a shaman. Shamanism is related to animism, the belief that spirits inhabit the physical world as well as the spiritual realm. Animism is one of the oldest existing belief systems and is found in many tribal communities, ancient and modern, around the world. It is seeing a comeback today in neo-shamanistic groups.
Shamanism is often syncretized with other belief systems, Islam and Christianity included, then becoming categorized as a folk religion. Shamanism/animism is not usually a stand-alone religion but is typically blended into pagan, polytheistic, and New Age faith systems.
The term shaman comes from the Siberian Tungus language and translates to “one who knows.” Related terms would be medium, medicine man, witchdoctor, sorcerer, exorcist, soothsayer, necromancer, and spirit walker.
In an animistic belief system, the shaman acts as an intermediary between the natural and spiritual worlds. Shamans are called upon in times of sickness, injury, natural disaster, enemy attack, or any time there is a perceived imbalance between the natural and spiritual realms. Shamanism teaches that all things have a spiritual root and that the spiritual world controls the natural world, so the key to affect any situation is thought to lie in the spiritual realm. The shamanistic worldview is one of works and a knowledge of the occult. To bring about the desired results in the natural world, a shaman relies on his expertise and the power of the objects he possesses.
In an animistic/shamanistic faith system, the world is a frightening place full of spirits that must be appeased. If placated, the spirits may bless you, or, if angered, they can become vindictive and hurt you or make you sick. Shamans are hired to enter the supernatural realm, discern the reason for the calamity, and find a means to restore healing and harmony. Shamans are feared and hold great influence within their tribes, as they purport to hold the power of healing as well as the power to kill or injure. Thus, it is not only the spirits that must be placated; the shamans must be kept happy, too.
Shamans often use hallucinogenic drugs, physical wounding, or extreme fasting to achieve an altered state of consciousness. Amulets, bells, drums, songs, dancing, or chanting might be part of the ceremonies that allow them to journey into the supernatural realm. Shamans also call on animating spirits and commonly use totemic items such as rocks or bones believed to hold special powers. Souls of the dead, animal spirits, or spirits of rocks or trees might also be summoned to act as guides. Shamanism maintains that certain places hold particular power or provide access to the spiritual world.
Even among those who follow this belief system, the role of shaman is recognized as a high-risk occupation. Navigating the spiritual realm is a dangerous undertaking. Depression, mental illness, and death from the use of entheogenic drugs are all possible.
Shamanism was the underlying belief system in the early biblical lands. God commanded His people against intermarriage and the worship of the territorial gods permeating the Promised Land. Deuteronomy 18:9–13 and other passages carry strong directives against involvement with spiritists, mediums, necromancers, and those who practice sorcery and witchcraft (Leviticus 18:21; 20:2, 4; 2 Kings 17:31; 2 Chronicles 28:3; 33:6, Isaiah 57:5; Ezekiel 16:21).
The Bible teaches that we live in enemy territory. First Peter 5:8 refers to this spiritual battle and the reality of the unseen world around us. As Christians, we do not put stock in shamans, the rituals they perform, or the talismans they wield. Rather, our trust is in the power of the Word of God (Hebrews 4:12), the power of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:4), and the power of the gospel (Romans 1:16).
