DOWN WITH SOLA SCRIPTURA! 

 

Even as one who holds to the Biblical Reformed doctrines of grace it is still surprising how fast and how far this apostasy within evangelicalism is spreading. Take for example Christianity Today Promoting Classic Contemplative Book and Gary Gilley Reviews: The Attentive Life, Discerning God’s Presence In All Things By Leighton Ford.

And so we point out that open theist Greg Boyd is not only gaining increasing popularity within the mainstream evangelical community but even within the postliberal cult currently infecting evangelical youth groups of the Emergent Church, now morphing into Emergence Christianity, as espoused e.g. by Rob Bell and his pomo pal Peter Rollins.

Apprising Ministries believes that truly those who are apostatizing with their god with a man-shaped hole in its heart have no shame; because not only are they attacking of God’s absolute sovereignty in man’s salvation, but now they are even more boldly attacking the very omniscience of the LORD God Almighty Creator of Heaven and earth Himself.

You need to understand that no one in their right spiritual mind would ever dare to do so. And in this excellent, and thoroughly Biblical, article solidly refuting Boyd’s heretical and mystical dreaming of open theism Bob DeWaay is dead-on-target when he writes:

In recent years, some evangelicals have rekindled an old controversy by asserting that God does not have exhaustive foreknowledge. That is to say that He does not know everything that is going to happen. This is an old controversy…

In this article I shall respond to a recent challenge issued in the book God of the Possible by Gregory A. Boyd. He writes: “What is particularly sad about the current state of this debate is that Scripture seems to be playing a small role in it. Most published criticisms raised against the open view have largely ignored the biblical grounds on which open theists base their position.”

If it is so that published criticisms do not interact with the specific Scriptures put forth to support the “open” position, then I shall make a contribution toward rectifying this. In this essay I will interact with several of Dr. Boyd’s key proof texts, though space does not permit dealing with all of them. I shall show that the passages cited, if taken in their Biblical context, do not prove Dr. Boyd’s assertion that God lacks knowledge of some of the future. (Online source)

Men and women, there’s really no new forms of apostasy under the sin; just new names and familiar faces. You can read the rest of DeWaay’s excellent article by clicking here.

*Note* Please also know that Bob DeWaay is the author of Redefining Christianity: Understanding the Purpose Driven Movement, one of the best books I have read refuting the skewed teachings of Rick Warren. And as one who’s long been tracking the Emerging Church, with pleasure, I also heartily recommend DeWaay’s new book The Emerging Church: Undefining Christianity.
