TONY CAMPOLO AND THE POWER OF DOUBLESPEAK
By Ken Silva pastor-teacher on Apr 7, 2008 in Current Issues
Over at Slice of Ladicea Ingrid Schlueter begins sharing some of her research into Emergent Evangelical Prophet Tony Campolo. Be wary of these “progressive” postliberal self-professed “Red Letter Christians” such as Campolo, Jim Wallis, Brian McLaren and Shane Claiborne. You need to understand that they all use the following methodology to forge their reimagined version of the social gospel advanced by the original Cult of Liberal Theology:
WorldnetDaily’s Joseph Farah addresses the eel-like behavior of Dr. Tony Campolo when it comes to hard, fast moral issues addressed in God’s Word. With verbal slight of tongue, by leaving words out, by redefining words, by weaving this way and that, by a variety of smoke and mirror tricks, Campolo tries to appear as though he is oh-so-biblical, while he is anything but. As heretic emeritus of the emerging church movement, (long before it was called “emergent”), Campolo has been undermining the authority of the Word of God for years.
Over the next few days, I will be sharing some excerpts from a paper on Campolo that I wrote several years ago. Bear in mind this was written long before the emerging church emphasis on environmentalist causes, etc. (Online source)
