No aspen , it's what those like you try to promote while forfeiting sound doctrine and the forfeiting of using the word of God as a guide. I don't think you mean to but you probably see Theologians like Dave Hunt are just too hard line right? You are RC correct? See, you are even denying that there is such a thing as the emergent church. What is meant by Jesus warning about the "falling away" ? It is happening right now. It is evident on this forum and other christian forums that are becoming ultra liberal and nothing like what the bible preached the church to be set apart...in the world but not of it.I think the “Emergent Church” is just a catch phrase for everything bad in the minds of fundamentalists. It is sort of like “politically correct”.
The postmodern emergent church is not about teaching the scripture or discipling saints, but about creating unity and a spiritual experience, and bringing into this modern church whatever feels good, like Taize prayer, any kind of new age teaching, or mysticism, or universalism, not preaching about hell, etc... because if it feels spiritual , it must get us closer to God. Right? Besides biblical truth is just way too subjective and too old school, as long as there is some kind of a collective spiritual worship, group unity and peace that is what we are aiming for because it is LOVE that Jesus taught. People want to enjoy the lectures at church , they don't want to get "preached" at. Truth is in the eye of the beholder and it's just not loving like Jesus was. All that is what the Emergent church teaches and people will eat it up like it is Candy! because it is spiritual candy.
