What are Taoism and Daoism?-Who is God, Jesus and Holy Spirit?

CAN TAOISM OR DAOISM BE RECONCILED TO JESUS CHRIST?

Taoism, which is also called Daoism, is a Chinese spiritual philosophy that appeared after the Han dynasty based on texts written clear back in the 4^th century B.C.

Daoism is the only original state religion in China.

As center in Taoism is “tao” or “dao” (transcription of the Chinese character 道, which can be translated as “the way”). Tao is a term describing the eternal universal power that runs through everything in the universe and through the cosmic order. Tao/Dao is the state where the two dualist qualities of yin and yang are in harmonious movement and in balance.

Many believe that th universe unfolds harmoniously according to its own cosmic laws, and exercising human free will is directly contrary to this unfolding and disturbs this natural harmony. Instead you should learn to sense the tao flowing through all things and act accordingly.

Tao/Dao, which are, as mentioned the “eternal universal power“, is also the energy used in connection with opening chakra points in Yoga (also called Tao Yoga) – or the power pulled down via Tai Chi – also called Taoist Tai Chi (meaning the Qi energy) – or the energy from meridians used with accupuncture, zone therapy or accupressure, etc.

In addition to the more philosophical and spiritual aspects, Daoism also has a very practical use as the Chinese state religion, where it includes elements of Taoist alchemy, ancestral cult, magic, curses, rituals, meditation, etc. Much of it revolves around worshipping Lao Zi, which is the legendary author of Dao De Jing (the Classic of the Way’s Virtue) and the so-called “Eight Immortals”, along with the attempt of the person to achieve spiritual and physical health through Daoist practice, as well as achieve immortality

The answer to the simple question, “Can Taoism or Daoism be reconciled with Jesus Christ?” is NO…! There is only one God and one mediator to God…

1 Timothy 2:4-6
