One earlier judgment was the Church Growth Movement (CGM) vomited out of Fuller Theological Seminary; itself a judgment from God. One that’s now so perverted it has been sponsoring the radio podcasts of Doug Pagitt, the long apostate universalist Emerging Church “pastor.”

Not only that but FTS has even employed Pagitt’s equally apostate “theologian in residence” Dr. Tony Jones, and I showed you Tony Jones Argues For Open Marriage And Polyamory. In other words, this foolish FTS professor is actually arguing in favor of sexual immorality.

A couple of years ago the Christian News service One News Now filed this report:

A conservative activist is questioning some of the conclusions Christian researcher George Barna reached in his “Spiritual Profile of Homosexual Adults.”

The new Barna survey of homosexual adults finds that 27 percent qualify as born-again Christians and 43 percent have an “orthodox, biblical perception of God.” According to Barna, “People who portray gay adults as godless, hedonistic, Christian bashers are not working with the facts.

A substantial majority of gays cite their faith as a central facet of their life, consider themselves to be Christian, and claim to have some type of meaningful personal commitment to Jesus Christ active in their life today.”… (Online source)

Well, Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons can cite precisely the same thing, and they also consider themselves Christians with an even more meaningful personal commitment to a Jesus than you do. 2 Corinthians 11:4 is crystal clear in that it’s quite possible to have “faith” in another Jesus. Here, see for yourself; the truth is, there are many of them — Will The Real Jesus Please Stand Up?

Before we trot out cries of a false analogy, here’s something you need to very carefully consider. Someone who tries to make the claim that the Bible teaches the unrepentant practice of sexual immorality with a member of the same sex—which is precisely what homosexuality is—should be not considered sin, are themselves, worshiping a god every bit as false as any non-Christian cult or false religion out there.

Again, I’m warning you to brace for a tsunami of apostasy likely to pound the coast when the evil aggressive pro-homosexual agenda launches a full-on assault upon evangelicalism because they know its leaders are way too timid to stand up to them. In addition, its main ally the Emerging Church has already softened up evanjellyfish’s younger sectors. They began to do so through opening them up to corrupt Counter Reformation Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM).

This had a two-pronged effect; first of all, it blew up the pillar of sola Scriptura, which allowed postmodern fog to spread while CSM killed critical thinking skills. Now the younger and weaker sheep were defenseless as the EC began its relentless bombardment of mainstream evangelical Young Adult and Youth ministries with their pro-homosexual propaganda. That’s why I recently covered Miley Cyrus And Gay Marriage, which I took some friendly fire for doing.

Let me explain something; I don’t personally consider people like Cyrus or Heidi Montag, who was also mentioned in that prior piece, to be genuine Christians. However, 1) they themselves do profess to be, 2) many people do consider them such, and 3) this is a good example of the prevailing politically correct pro-homosexual supposedly evangelical witness among celebrities. Don’t kid yourself into thinking this isn’t also the dominant view of the young in your church.

Now we add to this spurious CSM, and its antibiblical fruit, has so saturated evanjellyfish that we’re witnessing a new “theology by liver shiver.” So e.g. we see James Robison And Rick Warren Working To Reverse The Protestant Reformation. As well as this lunacy in the Lord’s Name: James Robison Says Jesus Is In The Heart Of Mormon Glenn Beck. There you’ll hear Robison tell us, “Because he says he loves Jesus, I believe Jesus has come into his heart.” In other words, Robison has decided Beck is a Christian based upon his feelings.

Ok, I wonder how Robison and others with liver shiver theology are going to deal with people as in this video clip below. I must humbly suggest that you seriously begin asking yourself, now that more and more people are conditioned to reject sola Scriptura (same as those in mainline denominations once were), just how it is that you plan to respond when openly homosexual “Christ-followers” are held up as acceptable role models for your own Christian youth. Such is the case with this video interview to follow.

The interview was conducted by Alexis “Lexi” Allen for her The Lexi Show and appeared on The Word Network, which also features many of the same ol’ quasi-Christian Word Faith flakes that you’ll find peddling their spiritual snake oil on the Trinity Blasphemy Broadcasting Network. You’re about to meet openly homosexual “Bishop” O.C. Allen III, pastor of something called The Vision Church of Atlanta (VC) and his partner Rashad Burgess, who is referred to as “The First G,” which is short for The First Gentleman:

If you didn’t know, in urban circles it’s customary to refer to the pastor’s wife as The First Lady; hence Burgess’ moniker. As you’ll hear, this social club—it’s not actually a church by Biblical standards—was begun in the couple’s living room. At the time this is written I couldn’t get the VC website to open so from it’s You Tube channel we find out it’s allegedly:

a vibrant, active and diverse congregation. We are a community rooted in worship, fellowship, diversity, witness, spiritual development, service and justice. The Vision Church congregation offers all people the opportunity to explore and discover their destiny within the context of a safe and nurturing Christ-centered community. (Online source)

Discovering destiny sounds a lot like Saddleback Church of Rick Warren; and since VC is also billing itself as “Christ-centered” it seems the James Robison liver shiver crowd will now have to believe Jesus has also come into the hearts of Messrs. Allen and Burgess even in the midst of their flagrant unrepentant sexual immorality, no? Such is the slippery slope more and more in the mainstream are on when they decide doctrine by feelings instead of Scripture.

Upon what basis can a James Robison accept a pagan idolator like Glenn Beck as a Christian brother and not also accept homosexual fornicators like Allen and Burgess as well? However, Jesus hasn’t changed His mind; He’s clearly told us, and no matter how nice they may be — You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination (Leviticus 18:22). And further:

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)

In this time of timid tolerance and liver shiver theology you can imagine what’s going to happen to faithful Christians who stand upon the Rock of God’s Word while so-called Christ-followers cower before the world…and sooner than we know:

 Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. (2 Timothy 3:12)

So much for the phony messages of attractional Prophet-Führers of God’s wonderful dream for your life…

DOUG PAGITT AND THE EMERGING CHURCH GAY AGENDA

HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA EVIL PERSONIFIED

Print this entry

by John Hendryx

Visitor: If monergistic regeneration is true, why oppose others views on homosexual marriage and other controversial issues? “No man can come to Me unless the Father who send Me draw him”

Response: we really don’t even need a controversial issue. All human beings, apart from grace, are in bondage to sin and cannot do otherwise.

You were born with the inability to perfectly obey the 10 commandments. And are you saying now that a person can come to faith apart from grace, and apart from the work of the Holy Spirit? Being “born this way” does not alleviate us or responsibility.

If you can obey all of God’s commands by yourself, with your own boasted free will, apart from grace, then you frankly don’t need Christ, and could save yourself. Christ came precisely because we cannot help ourselves. It is a matter of mercy. Consider this example: if you borrowed $100 million from the bank to start a new company and instead you squandered it all in a week of wild living in Las Vegas.

Does your inability to repay the bank alleviate you of the responsibility to do so? No of course not. Likewise we all fell in Adam and are responsible for all of our subsequent sins. Our inability to lift a finger toward our salvation, after the fall, does not alleviate us from the responsibility to obey. Otherwise, using your logic, God would be obligated to forgive us all because the fall rendered us morally impotent.

But this simply is not the case. When God shows ill-deserving sinners that, from our own natural resources we cannot obey His commands (Rom 3:19, 20; 1 Cor 2:14), we then, by grace, turn to God for mercy. And yet God is not obligated to save anyone. He would be just to send us all to the lake of fire. But he has mercy on many in Jesus Christ, in spite of our rebellion.

‎”No man can come to Me unless the Father who send Me draw him” – John 6:44 …. Take a look just before this verse (44) to verse 37 which is in the same context …. it says “ALL THAT THE FATHER GIVES TO BE WILL COME TO ME.” Not some but ALL. This means that ALL persons that the Father draws will believe. Come to me means believe in me. This create a syllogism which makes the non-Reformed understanding of the verse, frankly, untenable.

By Apprising Ministries special correspondent Mike Ratilff of Possessing the Treasure

[6:1] When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints? [2] Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? [3] Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life! [4] So if you have such cases, why do you lay them before those who have no standing in the church? [5] I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no one among you wise enough to settle a dispute between the brothers, [6] but brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers? [7] To have lawsuits at all with one another is already a defeat for you. Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded? [8] But you yourselves wrong and defraud—even your own brothers! [9] Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, [10] nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. [11] And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. (1 Corinthians 6:1-11 ESV)

As we have been studying over the last several months, genuine Christians are not “of this world.” We are new creations under a new covenant, a better covenant. However, many try to blend what is in the Old Covenant and the Mosaic Covenant with what is in the New Covenant causing much confusion. A close study of Matthew 5, 6, & 7 shows that those bought with a price, those in the New Covenant, are not here on this Earth to occupy it, subdue it, or transform it. No, we are here as witnesses of the Gospel and to give an account of the hope that is within us to those still in their sins. God will draw some of them to himself through this and of these, we make disciples. As we study our role in world as our Lord and the writers of the New Testament reveal it, we see that we only are conquerors in the Spiritual sense while it will appear that the evil of this world, even that which pretends to be Christian, but is not, will appear to be victorious to most.

In the passage from 1 Corinthians 6, which I placed at the top of this post, our brother, the Apostle Paul tells us not to become partakers with ways of the world. Those he wrote to were even going so far as to bring civil suit against one another in the courts, that is, before unbelievers. In v7 he says, “To have lawsuits at with one another is already a defeat for you. Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded?” There you go! That is the difference between those in Christ and those still in their sins. Our focus as we mature must become more and more eternal rather than secular. Also, it is better to suffer loss to another brother rather than haul that brother before a secular court. Involving ourselves that way with the unrighteous is making us partners with evil. He makes that clear what that means in vv9-10, but he also graciously makes it clear in v11 that these very same believers were once partakers of those very same sins, but now they are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Earlier this month, on December 7^th, in Geneva, Switzerland, President Barak Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton presented to the world their intent to force the gay agenda upon all countries. Here is the link to the article. My brethren, I do not like to get involved in political discussions and I do not intend to mix that with what we do here, but as a warning to you, I brought this up so that you would understand that the political leadership of the United States of America is evil personified. This agenda of theirs to push for “gay rights” is anti-Christian. It is an attack on what God has ordained as what marriage is and what it is not. The Word of God clearly shows that homosexuality is a sin. There can be no compromise between the “gay agenda” and genuine Christianity. Why? It is because what it stands for is evil, those who support it are evil, and those who are guilty of not standing firm against evil will be held accountable before God.

The political process is just a lot of spin with the media trying to manipulate people into getting their favorites elected without it looking like that is what they are doing. Only a doofus cannot see that. The conservatives compromise to look good to the media. It is sickening. I just do not watch television much anymore. Why would I want to be brainwashed by evil personified?

Soli Deo Gloria!

GAY-AFFIRMING JAY BAKKER CRITIQUES KEN SILVA AT RELIGION DISPATCHES

DOUG PAGITT AND THE EMERGING CHURCH GAY AGENDA

MILEY CYRUS AND GAY MARRIAGE

Print this entry

You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

There Is No Unity With Such As These

Apprising Ministries has been attempting to alert you over the past few months, e.g. in pieces like Doug Pagitt And Homosexual Sin and Jay Bakker Critiques Ken Silva At Religion Dispatches , to the evil pro-homosexual agenda slithering within the neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church aka the Emerging Church.

You need to know that this movement, which is now regrouping in an attempt gain more strength, has already penetrated deeply into mainstream evangelicalism—metastasizing as a spiritual cancer carried by corrupt critical-thinking killing Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM).

So I continue warning you that you really do need to understand there’s a very dark and threatening same-sex storm—now rapidly approaching hurricane force—looming just off the coast of your own local evangelical church. My advice is to get yourself prepare for more stories like this one.

Only in the very near future—in evangelical churches closer to you than you may believe—the result will be reversed. I point you now to an Associated Baptist Press piece Gay-marriage stand costs pastor his pulpit. There we’re informed:

An Australian Baptist pastor and his congregation have parted company over the issue of gay marriage. Matt Glover, pastor of Lilydale Baptist Church, said recently on a marriage-equality website  that allowing same-sex marriages would benefit marriage as an institution:

“When a couple want to be part of the institution of marriage, when they fully accept the same rights and responsibilities of marriage and treat marriage with the respect it deserves, why should they NOT get married?” he asked. “As a Christian minister, I believe that marriage is under threat from many angles, but also believe that recognizing same-sex unions will help return marriage to its rightful place in society.” (Online source)

Very people-friendly; very politically correct. But here’s what Jesus says of such hirelings posing as pastors —  They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them. (1 John 4:5) Now notice the division Glover’s groveling had:

That prompted two months of congregational turmoil that ended with a closed-door meeting that the pastor was not invited to attend, the Victoria Age reported  Dec. 6. Church leaders told the newspaper that Glover is no longer senior pastor but the congregation was instructed not to comment. (Online source)

Here we see another illustration of how those pushing this pro-homosexual agenda upon the Christian community are the ones sowing confusion and division. Let me show you something that’s been turned backward due to all the emerging postmodern pandering to unbelievers. Consider this from God’s Word:

Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. (Galatians 6:7-10)

Did you catch that; our first responsibilty is to our fellow believers, God’s chosen people. Martin Luther’s comment is helpful here:

In this verse the Apostle summarizes his instructions on the proper support of the ministers and of the poor. He paraphrases the words of Christ: “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.” (John 9:4)

Our good deeds are to be directed primarily at those who share the Christian faith with us, “the household of faith,” as Paul calls them, among whom the ministers rank first as objects of our well doing.[1]

Forget the foolish charge that saying so means we don’t care about our fellow man. Jesus commands us to love our neighbor as ourselves; and so we do. The problem is rooted in the fact that today, largely through the infection of corrupt Counter Reformation Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism, mankind is falling in love with…itself (cf. 2 Timothy 3:2).

This leads to misunderstanding of the mission of the Christian church, which is evangelism. Glover shows us he doesn’t understand that when he sings the same old tired emerging postmodern theme song:

Glover said keeping up with rapid changes in culture was a key issue facing the church. “We don’t have to embrace everything that comes our way, but we do need to recognize that our people live, work and play in this culture and our efforts at discipleship must meet them there,” he said.

“Issues like sexuality, mental health and relationships in all their forms can’t be ignored, but they can’t be simplified either. They are complex and we need to think them through carefully, acknowledging our history and tradition, but also with the courage to step outside of our comfort zones when we need to.” (Online source)

It’s time for Christians to remind such as these that “changes in culture” have absolutely nothing to do with the mission Jesus has given His Church, whihc is summed up in —  “As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you” (John 20:21). Contrary to popular culture, Jesus was not a social reformer.

The fact is, “Issues like sexuality, mental health and relationships” etc. will be positively impacted as a by-product of preaching the Gospel of forgiveness of sins in Jesus Name. In other words, if we want a better world we preach Jesus Christ and Him crucified and let God convert people:

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. (Romans 1:16)

You need to remember that same-sex marrige is an oxymoron. Our Creator defines marriage as exclusively between a man and a woman:

He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.” (Matthew 19:4-6)

It couldn’t be clearer…if one actually believe what the Bible says. The pro-homosexual lobby simply does not…

You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

There Is No Unity With Such As These

Apprising Ministries has been attempting to alert you, e.g. in pieces like Doug Pagitt And Homosexual Sin and Jay Bakker Critiques Ken Silva At Religion Dispatches , to the evil pro-gay agenda the neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church aka the Emerging Church.

You need to know that this movement is gaining even more strength and has already penetrated deeply into mainstream evangelicalism—metastasizing as a spiritual cancer carried by corrupt critical-thinking killing Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM). So I continue warning you that you really do need to understand there’s a very dark and threatening same-sex storm—now rapidly approaching hurricane force—looming just off the coast of your own local evangelical church.

Be aware that the EC’s “big tent” postmodern form of Progressive Christianity aka Emergence Christianity is a whole lot closer to the center of increasingly inclusive evangelicalism than you may even know; particularly so in your younger sectors. This Liberalism 2.0 de-formation of the Christian faith has been attacking the cardinal doctrine of sola Scriptura in the mainstream for years now, which is why you’re finding yourself having a hard time understanding some of the things your pastor’s preaching and some of the new programs you’ve seen coming into your own local church.

As more and more of mainstream evangelicalism embraces the warped philosophy (it’s not a theology) of this egregiously ecumenical anti-Chrstianity within the Emerging Church—and it will—one is then simply left with their feelings, i.e. your fallen corrupt human reasoning, as a guide in spiritual matters. Here now further example of where this always leads; and to see, one need only look at how the uber-divisive pro-gay lobby has quite literally torn apart the mainline denominations. We have yet another vivid illustration below from a Christian Post piece PCUSA Votes to Allow Openly Gay Clergy, which ran back on May 11.

It really came as no surprise today when Dinesh Ramde of the Associated Press informs us that in the no longer Christian PCUSA:

A Wisconsin man who left his Presbyterian ministry in California more than 20 years ago after telling his  congregation that he is gay was welcomed back into the church leadership  on Saturday as its first openly gay ordained minister.

In a quavering voice ripe with emotion, the Rev. Scott Anderson told the hundreds of friends and backers who packed Covenant Presbyterian Church in Madison for his ordination ceremony that he never thought the day would come.

“To the thousands of Presbyterians who have worked and prayed for almost 40 years for this day, I give  thanks,” Mr. Anderson, 56, said. “And I give thanks for those who disagree with  what we’re doing today yet who know that we are one in Jesus Christ.”

When he was presented to the crowd, audience members gave him a thunderous standing ovation and began roaring with cheers.

“That was very atypical of Presbyterians,” Doug Poland, an elder at Covenant, told the Wisconsin State Journal. “Usually our hands are in our laps.”

Mr. Anderson  was closeted when he served as a minister in Sacramento, Calif., from  1983 until 1990. When a couple threatened to reveal his sexual  orientation, he came out to his congregation and resigned because the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) barred homosexuals from serving as ministers.

But  things changed last year when the church’s national assembly voted to  remove the ban, clearing the way for Mr. Anderson’s ordination. (Online source)

As Erin Benziger pointed out today at Do Not Be Surprised…

Sorry, but if you are living in persistent, unrepentant sin, we are not one in Jesus Christ. Repent, turn from your sin, embrace Jesus Christ in submissive faith as Savior and Lord.

“Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be
deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within ou, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” (1 Corinthians 6:9-11; 18-20)

And all God’s people said…Come quickly, Lord Jesus! (Online source)

DOUG PAGITT AND HIS SOLOMON’S PORCH AFFIRM HOMOSEXUAL SIN

EMERGING CHURCH OUTLAW PREACHERS NOT LIKE JESUS

GAY MORMON APPOINTED TO LDS CHURCH LEADERSHIP

Print this entry

I’m warning you to brace for a tsunami of apostasy likely to hit first when the aggressive pro-homosexual agenda launches a full-on assault upon evangelicalism because they know its leaders are way too timid to stand up to them.

That’s why I recently covered Miley Cyrus And Gay Marriage, which I took flak for doing. Let me explain something; I don’t personally consider Cyrus and Heidi Montag to be genuine Christians.

However, 1) they themselves do profess to be, 2) many people do consider them such, and 3) this is a good example of the pro-gay evangelical witness among celebrities.

It’s also a vivid picture of where much of the younger sectors of evangelicalism already stands. For example, we’ll consider the Emerging Church of apostate universalist “pastor” Doug Pagitt.

You’ll see in Doug Pagitt And Homosexual Sin that his Solomon’s Porch, where equally heretical Dr. Tony Jones is the progressive “theologian in residence,” indeed Solomon’s Porch Affirms Homosexual Sin.

The neo-liberal cult of Emergence Christianity operating within the Emerging Church is aggressively trying to make the deviant lifestyle of unrepentant homosexuality acceptable even for a Christian.

With this in mind, I point you to the fine work Gay Christian Movement Watch and Gay churchfest features ‘Sunday Best’ winner LeAndria Johnson. We’re informed:

If you are a gospel music idol worshipper, you won’t like this. If you are one of those deceived false converts who believe homosexuals have place in God’s house, you won’t like this either. And finally if you are a fearful of standing for holiness, you definitely won’t like this. Perhaps at this point, you should just exit this story. Despite all the feel good goobley-gook that is called preaching in the contemporary church, GCM Watch apologetically holds up God’s standard. Let God be true and every man a liar.

The homosexual churchfest is back in the spotlight. Each year, you can count on some misguided gospel industry worker to show up to collect a check “minister”…

In short, the storyline goes like this: the gay church people wave money but obfuscate their real agenda. Gospel music industry booking agents, hungry to keep their client in the spotlight and get paid, grab the gay church money. No mention of gay church appearances is made on client’s website. When GCM Watch shines attention on the dirty deeds, managers claim ignorance, gospel music industry workers claim ignorance or feign “ministry”. Gay church stands by and snicker like alley cats. And around and around we go with all the gay church-gospel music drama.

So, here we are again.

We can now add LeAndria Johnson to the list of the fallen ones. Johnson is the “Season 3″ winner of BET’s top money making gospel blackface show Sunday’s Best. Johnson is the second winner of the show to matriculate into the gay churchworld. But is that any surprise that SB is cranking out gay church performers?…

Leandria Johnson performed at TD Jakes so-called leadership conference in March. She also performed at Dorinda Clark Cole’s music conference. If we really want to know why homosexuality and the spirit of perversion is so strong in the church, the blame is squarely at the feet of so called leaders who have opened the doors of God’s house of prayer and made it into a den of sexual perversion.

And when you buy their music and attend their concerts, you by proxy, endorse their sins… (Online source)

JAY BAKKER CRITIQUES KEN SILVA AT RELIGION DISPATCHES

DOUG PAGITT AND THE EMERGING CHURCH GAY AGENDA

TONY JONES ARGUES FOR OPEN MARRIAGE AND POLYAMORY

Print this entry

One subset within this Emergent cult is a rather rapscallion bunch, who have crowned themselves Outlaw Preachers, and are now slithering all around head Outlaw gay affirming “pastor” Jay Bakker.

This growing, largely Biblically illiterate,  group of *cough* “preachers” is currently quite busy Turning God’s Grace Into An Idol.

Sadly, these snakes wouldn’t know proper Biblical doctrine if it bit them. I’ve talked about another one of their leading spokesmen in Outlaw Preachers Khad Young And Jay Bakker Don’t Love Enough.

Young’s following in the footsteps of the original outlaw preacher Jay Bakker and they have a primary calling to advance. OP’s are aggressively pushing their evil pro-homosexual agenda to try and make the deviant and sinful lifestyle of same-sex sexual relations i.e. homosexuality a viable one for the Christian.

This they plan to do with the assistance of some of the bigger “name” Outlaw Preachers in the EC, such as self-professed “queer affirming” ELCA pastrix Nadia Bolz-Weber and Bakker’s good friend apostate Fuller Theological Seminary professor Dr. Tony Jones.

However, they love to put on the air that they’re not really pushing their views upon anyone else. Right; and the Pope’s not Roman Catholic. Any of us who’ve argued with them (in the debate sense) know this tweet today from Khad Young contains as much truth as the typical political speech:

(Online source)

That sentiment of the OP’s Khad Young sounds very pious but it only reveals his ignorance of the Bible and how unlike Jesus Christ they really are. Consider in Mark 12 where Jesus is debating in public with the Pharisees and the Sadducees:

And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?” Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.

And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” And the scribe said to him, “You are right, Teacher. You have truly said that he is one, and there is no other besides him.

And to love him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And after that no one dared to ask him any more questions. (Mark 12:28-34)

Did you see that, Jesus was disputing—arguing, debating—with these religious leaders. This scribe approaches Jesus because he had obviously been impressed by what the Lord had said, which of course he would never have heard unless Jesus had been willing to make a public stand for the Truth.

Now here’s the great Bible commentator Matthew Henry on this passage from his classic commentary:

See here the method Christ takes to clear and establish this truth, which they attempted to darken, and give a shock to. This was a matter of moment, and therefore Christ does not pass it over lightly, but enlarges upon it, that, if they should not be reclaimed, yet others might be confirmed.

He charges the Sadducees with error, and charges that upon their ignorance. They who banter the doctrine of the resurrection as some do in our age, would be thought the only knowing men, because the only free thinkers, when really they are the fools in Israel, and the most enslaved and, prejudiced thinkers in the world. (Online source)

It’s precisely because Jesus took a path to “clear and establish the truth” by debating these things in public that we now have His example concerning “the method” Christians are to employ with religious leaders who teach false doctrine; for example, the pernicious pro-homosexual skubalon of  Jay Bakker.

Yet another reason we are to reject these “Christ-followers” who aren’t at all like Christ Jesus…

THE NEW CHRISTIANS WITH CHRISTIANITY WORTH BELIEVING—NO SOLA SCRIPTURA: YES, WOMEN PASTORS AND QUEER CHRISTIANS

I’m warning you to brace for a tsunami of apostasy likely to hit first when the aggressive pro-homosexual lobby launches a full-on assault upon evangelicalism because they know its leaders are way too timid to stand up to them.

In addition, its Emergent Church ally has softened up evanjellyfish’s younger sectors, which they did through infecting them with corrupt Counter Reformation Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM).

By using CSM to blow up the pillar of sola Scriptura, it opened the door for EC leaders to then begin relentlessly bombarding Young Adult and Youth ministries with pro-homosexual propaganda.

That’s why I recently covered Miley Cyrus And Gay Marriage, which I took flak for doing. Let me explain something; I don’t personally consider Cyrus and Heidi Montag to be genuine Christians.

However, 1) they themselves do profess to be, 2) many people do consider them such, and 3) this is a good example of the pro-gay evangelical witness among celebrities.

It’s also a vivid picture of where much of the younger sectors of evangelicalism already stands. For example, we’ll consider the Emerging Church of apostate universalist “pastor” Doug Pagitt.

You’ll see in Doug Pagitt And Homosexual Sin that his Solomon’s Porch, where equally heretical Dr. Tony Jones is the progressive “theologian in residence,” indeed Solomon’s Porch Affirms Homosexual Sin.

The neo-liberal cult of Emergence Christianity operating within the Emerging Church is aggressively seeking to make the deviant lifestyle of unrepentant homosexuality acceptable for even the evangelical Christian.

With this in mind, let me show you that now even the ultra-conservative non-Christian cult of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons) is on the edge of the homosexual debate detonating within it.

Yesterday the Salt Lake City Tribune informs us that a Gay Mormon named to key local LDS leadership post in San Francisco:

When members of San Francisco’s LDS Bay Ward want to meet with the bishop, they’ll call Mitch Mayne. When they want to schedule a wedding or a reunion at the Mormon meetinghouse, they’ll turn to Mayne. When the bishop convenes a ward council, Mayne will be there.

On Sunday, Mayne was installed in a highly visible role as the bishop’s “executive secretary,” assisting the local LDS leader in virtually every task.

Mayne is openly gay — a fact that has created a buzz up and down the Mormon Internet world. (Online source) 

Over at Religion Dispatches Joanna Brooks, who “grew up in a conservative Mormon home,” tells us in Openly Gay Mormon Appointed to LDS Church Leadership Position:

news came across the Mormon grapevine: an openly gay Mormon man named Mitch Mayne had been asked (or “called,” in Mormon parlance) to serve as a leader in an LDS congregation in San Francisco.

Before receiving his call to serve in San Francisco, Mayne had been attending an LDS congregation in Oakland, where Mormons have been especially active in efforts to repair damage to interfaith and LDS-LGBT relations since the LDS Church’s heavy involvement in California’s 2008 Proposition 8 campaign.

Mayne was also in a committed, monogamous relationship with his male partner. About a year ago, Mayne decided to end his relationship, for reasons not related to religion. It was, he said, the hardest thing he ever did: harder, even, than burying his parents.

Mayne felt he needed time to heal, and he chose to take a break from relationships altogether. Several months later, Bishop Don Fletcher of the San Francisco Bay Ward asked him to serve as ward executive secretary, a leadership position that serves with the ward lay-pastoral leadership (or “bishopric,” in Mormon terms) to coordinate congregational administrative and pastoral functions and to participate in congregational executive-level decision-making as well. (Online source)

Now we get to one of the main reasons I bring this to your attention. We’re told Mayne was “attending an LDS congregation” and “was also in a committed, monogamous relationship with his male partner.”

Mayne himself adds:

You had better begin thinking about how you’re going to deal with things like this because the homosexual hurricane is headed for your own local evangelical church. SLC Tribune also informs us:

He is not the first self-identified gay member to hold a key leadership position within the LDS Church’s all-volunteer clergy and staffing. A Seattle ward (congregation), for example, reportedly had a gay counselor to the bishop and in Oakland, Calif., a gay man is on the stake’s high council and is a temple worker.

But Mayne may be the first local LDS leader to announce his orientation over the pulpit. He also was chosen specifically to help build bridges between the Bay Area’s Mormon and gay communities, a gap that was widened by the LDS Church’s overt support of Proposition 8, defining marriage as exclusively between a man and a woman. (Online source)

This shows the pro-homosexual lobby has penetrated the LDS Church already; and further, with Mitch Mayne we have an unrepentant homosexual man who’s helping to attack the marriage covenant.

I want you to be aware that as I monitor Intel from the evil pro-homosexual lobby, even those ostensibly conservative evangelicals ala Andrew Marin will become involved in that attack to support the LGBT community.

You should know, it isn’t only the Emerging Church leaders who’re aiding and abetting enemy forces with their pro-homosexual penetration of the mainstream of the church visible, and they’re not going away.

Now courtesy of my Australian friend Ben Davis and Symphony of Scripture AM prepares you how to disarm a weapon used by the LGBT community:

The argument goes like this: “No doubt Paul was unaware of the distinction between sexual orientation, over which one has apparently very little choice, and sexual behavior, over which one does.” (Walter Wink)

Edward T. Welch, Blame in on the Brain? P&R Publishing, 1998, p. 158-159:

Is it possible that the biblical texts were ignorant about homosexual orientation and were thus prohibiting only ‘unnatural’ homosexual practice by participants of heterosexual orientation?This would suggest that the practicing homosexuals in the Bible were involved in homosexuality against their natural inclinations. Yet the nature of sin is that people sin because they want to sin (James 1:13-15). It comes from our desires.

No one is dragged into sin kicking and screaming. Homosexuality existed in biblical times because people enjoyed it; they were drawn to it by their own hearts (Mark 7:21-23). An artificial distinction between (sinful) homosexual practice and (justifiable) homosexual orientation contradicts the Scripture’s constant connection of desire, orientation and deed.

If the deed was prohibited in Scripture, the desire was too.
