…having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them. They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth. (2 Timothy 3:5-7)

Be Careful Who You Listen To You Just Might Become As Blind As They Are

In ‘REFLECTIONS’ on ‘emerging’ IKON: ‘God in the hands of angry sinners’ my friend Cecil Andrews of Take Heed Ministries in Northern Ireland tells us about “a seminar” that he attended a couple of years ago where the speaker “was Peter Rollins.”

Among other things Andrews then shares the following:

I then had the opportunity to ask Peter Rollins if he viewed the biblical truth of what God’s people understand as ‘penal substitution’ [that Christ suffered at the hands of God the Father as their substitute to save them from sin’s condemnation] in the same light as Brian McLaren and Steve Chalke, namely that in their opinion, that constitutes ‘cosmic and divine child abuse’.

I was pleased to hear Peter Rollins say that he did not share their views on ‘penal substitution’ and he then proceeded to say that within IKON there were a variety of understandings about what did or did not happen on the cross. I pressed him to state whether he believed that Christ’s death was an atoning, redeeming substitutionary sacrifice to save sinners. He was honest enough to admit that he had not come to a final conclusion on that – ‘the jury was still out’. (Online source)

Odd, isn’t it; allegedly the jury’s still out nearly 2,000 years later concerning the very heart of God’s Gospel and the most important event in human history. And yet, as you can see in in Rob Bell, Peter Rollins, And Queermergent’s Adele Sakler, Rollins supposedly has their verdict that in violation of Holy Scripture homosexuality is now an acceptable lifestyle for the Christian.
