New age beliefs taught by Dr. Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, etc. teaches us that we can indeed create our own reality using our thoughts. We can manifest anything in our life using the power of our intentions. We can manifest money, hapiness, prosperity, health, relationships, etc... using the power of our intention. If we intend something it will magically manifest. The idea stems from that we are part of God or God and that we have the power to create anything we desire. My question is that can you believe in creating what you desire and still be a christian, jew, or muslim? please explain

Of course. God wants us all to use the power he has given us in our daily lives. It isn't magically manifested in our lives. It is us manifesting it in our lives through God's gifts to us. It amazes me that people will believe that Moses parted the Red Sea, and Jesus turned water into wine, but people can't believe that we too can work miracles in our own lives through God.

New age belief has been around since Bible times. It use to be called Gnostism. What you believe is a lie. Anything plus Jesus is nothing. If you do not come to understand that you have sinned and can do nothing to redeem yourself and accept that God's Son Jesus did this for you, all the wishing yourself happy and prosperous and healthy will do you no good in the end. A Christian is someone who believes that Christ died, was buried and rose again. A Jew is God's chosen person but not all of them believe in what Christ did for them. A muslim believe that Mohammad is savior and the difference between Mohammad and Christ is that Christ rose again where Mohammad did not.
You can' t create what you want to believe you have to choose and there is going to either be a good choice or a bad one and consequences for every action we make.

obviously the guy wants money. the only way you can manifest happiness is ignore your surroundings. forget about war and human suffering. the only way to prosper is that someone else doesnt. i couldnt create what i desire and be a jew because they believe in circumcision

No... not for those of The Christian Faith... All Faith is in God, His Word, The Word who is Jesus The Christ , and in God's promise to all who come to Him in The Way he proscribes.
God is The Reality of Christian Faith... it would be a sin for one of The Faith to participate in such practices as you mention.

Frankly, religion is just "training wheels" for becoming a moral person.
Once you develop your own moral structure then you then can step beyond the controls that organized religion try to put on you and live your life as you, yourself, feel is moral.

No. The premise is fundamentally flawed. Our minds aren't creating a reality, they are creating delusions.

No, if you believe that, you are stupider than a christian.
