TONY JONES: INFLUENTIAL THEOLOGIAN OF EMERGENCE CHRISTIANITY OUT OF THE CLOSET

DOWN WITH SOLA SCRIPTURA! 

RELIGIOUS DOCTRINE ITSELF NO LONGER DUE RESPECT...NEVER AGAIN 
Tony Jones, author of the book The New Christianity Christians and a leading theologian in the Emergent Church is out of the closet now concerning his views that unrepentant practicing homosexuals can become Christians, which Apprising Ministries first pointed out in Tony Jones and the Emergent Church: “Christian” Gay is A-Ok.

We took a lot of heat for bringing it out but yesterday in Same Sex Marriage Blogalogue: How I Went from There to Here Jones has removed all doubt as to his position, and that which he feels the Body of Christ itself should take, regarding those who are unrepentantly practicing the sin of homosexuality:

And yet, all the time I could feel myself drifting toward acceptance that gay persons are fully human persons and should be afforded all of the cultural and ecclesial benefits that I am.  (“Aha!” my critics will laugh derisively, “I knew he and his ilk were on a continuous leftward slide!”)

In any case, I now believe that GLBTQ can live lives in accord with biblical Christianity (at least as much as any of us can!) and that their monogamy can and should be sanctioned and blessed by church and state.

You know, a couple of years ago Dr. John MacArthur was dead on target when he said, “One of the big issues is homosexuality in the emerging church; they don’t want to take a position on homosexuality… A homosexual will not inherit the Kingdom of God (see-1 Corinthians 6:9-10); that’s pretty clear” (Online source). However, one is now emerging. 

Indeed not long from now I fully expect that budding politician Doug Pagitt, pastor of Tony Jones, will follow suit. And it can’t be too far off for Tony Campolo to also finally come out publicly in agreement with both Jones and his wife Peggy Campolo, who has long held the heretical view Tony Jones espouses above.

Men and women, it was always only a matter of time with this postliberal cult. And next “soon” you will see someone who is a prominent member of this Emergence Christianity currently practicing the sin of homosexuality who will come out. For these people are only growing bolder the longer effete evangelical leaders cower in the corner and refuse to call sin, sin.

You’d best consider that practicing “lesbian Christ-follower” Adele Sakler is already co-leader of the Richmond Emergent Cohort aligned with Emergent Village and then ask yourself a couple of hard questions: What is this type of repudiation of Sola Scriptura possibly doing within Protestant evangelicalism; and, why are these teachers of a counterfeit Christianity holding court within the youth ministries of your local church?
