Emergent cr@p August 29, 2006

I had been exposed to the really bad, bad, bad theology of the “emergent church” on the Lifelong Learners board at the Sonlight Forums. When I first heard of it, I just could NOT believe that anyone calling themself an actual Christian could espouse such swill. Well, it appears that it continues to be widespread. IMO, as in “in my observation,” although I am by no means an “emergent” expert, the core of this movement is to take the sovereignty out of God, as if one could actually do so.
Uncle Steve, of the Careful Thought blog in my blogroll, has posted something on this topic in his blog today, and it’s worth a peep.
I am SO there!
I’m so glad to see this post. Been reading about this ‘movement’ for over a year (because of having a brother who’s into it) and have come to the same conclusion as you.
The “feel good” mentality has drifted over into the mainline churches and the New Age has been welcomed in with it. And it seems some folks are just totally ignorant of what’s happening.
Have at it, girl!
Hey, have either of you (or anyone else) checked back on Steve’s thread? Andrew Perriman from opensourcetheology.net is getting into it w/ Steve, but I think Steve is holding his own!
