BRETHREN IN CHRIST JESUS:
I wish that my brethren that are actually serious about their Salvation and Faith on our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ would study a little history about the secret societies of initiation and what it is that they teach. You will discover many of the 2nd century doctrines of Gnosticism with what they teach.
The movie
The Da Vinci Code with Tom Hanks, is actually based on a theme by Gnosticism. At the end of the movie, it proposed that Christ didn't die on the cross, but was removed before He died, and married and had children. And the question was raised about where His children of the day might be, and they wondered if the offspring 'genetically' inherited Christ's power of miracles. Those ideas in that movie right there are from modern-day Gnosticism, showing it still has followers in the world today that push it, and high up in political power followers too, since they got Hollywood to make those kind of movies based on Dan Brown's Gnosticism books suggesting Christ married and His seed is walking around on earth today.
Here is a website link to the Rosicrucian Order (Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis, or AMORC), headquartered out of San Jose, CA.:
The Rosicrucians are a community of mystics who study and practice the metaphysical laws governing the universe. Founded in 1915 by H. Spencer Lewis, the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC is the largest international organization dedicated to perpetuating the ancient Rosicrucian Tradition with hundreds...

Even deeper, they have in their free online library a work called
The Secret Doctrines of Jesus.
Following years of extensive research and journeys to the Holy Land and Egypt, H. Spencer Lewis reveals in this book The Secret Doctrines of Jesus, the hidden doctrines of Jesus and what they mean.

Here's an example of their 'secret teaching' rhetoric:
Here are the facts: That Jesus had many private and secret meetings
or sessions with his disciples and trusted companions is hinted at in
many parts of the New Testament. There is unmistakable evidence of
this fact.
That Jesus possessed some rare, secret, divine, or spiritual, as well as
semi-scientific knowledge that enabled him to perform miracles and to
convey this secret knowledge and power to others is also unmistakable
if we give careful consideration or acceptance to many of the passages
in the New Testament.
That the early Christian workers constituting the very foundation
of the Christian religion were capable of performing miracles, or
applying divine or cosmic principles in a new and different manner
from that which had ever been applied before, is impressed upon our
consciousness as we read and analyze the Synoptic Gospels and other
parts of the New Testament.
That the early Christian church was devoted to two phases of
essential activity—preaching, teaching, postulating, and performing,
healing, demonstrating—is beyond question.
That the Christian church of today no longer practices or
demonstrates those principles of healing or calling upon divine
and natural law for unusual manifestations, but concentrates almost
exclusively upon preaching and postulating, indicates that the Christian
church of today and of the past centuries has either abandoned fully
half of its great work, or that some secret knowledge possessed by the
early Christians has not passed down through the ages from priest to
priest, clergy to clergy, sect to sect.
(from The Secret Doctrines of Jesus by H. Spencer Lewis, one of the first Rosicrucian Imperators in America in the 1900s?)
(Bold emphasis is mine)
Those above statements above by Lewis are in preparation for their false declaration that THEY have those SECRETS that Jesus taught in private to His disciples. It's to draw you in ever so slowly and carefully.
How then is that a type of SPIRITUALIZING The Bible? It's because that is using OTHER DOCTRINES to SUPPLANT what the Scriptures in reality actually teaches. And it's EASY to note, because do you see Lewis in the above quote anything about the POWER SOURCE for the miracles Jesus and His Apostles did, like GOD or The Holy Spirit? NO, that kind of reference to God or The Holy Spirit, which IS in The Scriptures, is OMITTED by Lewis. It's because he attributes those miracles to KNOWELDGE OF DIVINE AND NATURAL LAW; in other word SCIENCE, both PARANORMAL and NATURAL. The Rosicrucian Order at their San Jose facility even have a PARANORMAL EXPERIMENT LAB on their campus.
Their practices involve delving into the OCCULT, the SPIRIT WORLD, and they ASSOCIATE that practice with THE SECRET TEACHING OF JESUS? Yes! It's very... dangerous to one's soul!
Matt 11:12
12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
KJV
So when you hear someone try to preach The Bible in SPIRITUALIZED RIDDLES, trying to act as if THEY... have some SECRET KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS' TEACHING, then WATCH OUT!
"Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel..."
