BRIAN MCLAREN – ‘EVERYTHING MUST CHANGE’: JESUS’ SECOND COMING (PART 2)
By Ken Silva pastor-teacher on Oct 17, 2007 in Brian McLaren, Current Issues, Emergent Church
Chris Rosebrough of Extreme Theology has posted the second part of his review of “Everything Must Change” the new book by Brian McLaren. Part two looks at Brian McLaren’s rejection of the historic doctrine of Christ’s Second Coming.
Said Rosebrough:
Jesus’ return in glory has been the hope of Christians for two millennia. But we learn in “Everything Must Change” that this is NOT Brian McLaren’s hope at all!
Brian McLaren has re-imagined and re-crafted a kinder and gentler Jesus who WOULD NEVER return to judge the world and forcefully establish His Kingdom on Earth. The “Jesus” that McLaren has created is more like Ghandi. McLaren’s “Jesus” works by subverting Imperialism through the use of non-violence and would never utilize the methods of Imperialism to establish his own kingdom.
