In pieces like Outlaw Preachers Miss This at Apprising Ministries we’ve brought to your attention a rather rapscallion bunch, who have crowned themselves outlaw preachers, and are now sprouting up around head Outlaw gay affirming “pastor” Jay Bakker. This growing, largely Biblically illiterate, *cough* group of  “preachers” is currently quite busy Turning God’s Grace Into An Idol. 

For more on what is meant by that the interested reader is referred to ELCA, Gospel Reductionism, And Homosexuality. Now we wish to alert you that today “pastor” Connie Waters, whom AM introduced you to in Jay Bakker In Memphis On Same-Sex Marriage, excitedly Tweets:

The Outlaw video has arrived! http://vimeo.com/6342344 (RT TO EVERYONE and post this on your blogs and facebooks!) #outlawpreachers (Online source)

This link above takes you to the video below, which is an ode to outlaws, lovingly set to the “worship” music of AC/DC’s Back In Black. It contains many still shots, to use a figure of speech, of various rebels against the final authority of the Word of God. I found it interesting to note that at 1:12 we even see Existential Punk aka practicing lesbian “Christ-follower” Adele Sakler.

Still think this is simply an isolated movement with no ties to the egregiously ecumenical Emerging Church aka Emergent Church—morphing into Emergence Christianity (EC); think again. Check the credits for this nefarious piece and you see the name of EC leader Tony Jones, “theologian in residence” at the EC church of his quasi-universalist “pastor” Doug Pagitt. 

You may also recall from Queermergent Adele Sakler And Emergent Village that it was Jones who would first introduce us to Sakler and her Queermergent group. In fact, as of this writing, the top post at Queermergent is a “sermon” from Sakler’s friend “queer inclusive” ELCA “pastor” Nadia Bolz-Weber. And oddly enough pastrix Bolz-Weber, who has publicly aligned herself with these snakes, is missing from the video.

By the way, the video also informs us of an upcoming gathering of the deceived:

The Outlaw Preacher Conference is on its way! Spring 2010 Details TBA

In addition we find out that all the “Outlaw Precasts” can be found at the website of Khad Young, who’s Bakker’s partner in perverting the grace of God. Just the same, at first glance the following from Waters would appear rather curious:

Dangit! TheOutlaws can’t even have a video without it being blogged abt!https://www.apprising.org/2009/08/meet-outlaw-preachers/ #outlawpreachers (Online source)

But then again, Jesus did tell us that there’s a real reason that viperidae are nocturnal:

“This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God.” (John 3:19-21)

For my more conservative ELCA readers, it all means this warped antinomianism is already coming to a youth group near you. And for the rest, I strongly suggest you take a good, long, look at your Young Adult and Youth ministries before such as these come slithering into your own evangelical churches.
