EMERGING CHURCH, JAY BAKKER AND OUTLAW PREACHERS

Apprising Ministries has been warning you about the Growing Gay Agenda In Evangelicalism; therein you will see heretical theologian Tony Jones, unquestionably a leading spokesman for the sinfully ecumenical Emerging Church de-formation of the Christian faith aka Emergent Church—that’s now morphed into Emergence Christianity (EC)—speak of “a shift” toward full inclusion of GLBTQ people within evangelicalism.
Awhile back in Emerging Church To TransFORM Outlaw Preachers I talked about the EC group TransFORM, a network created by Steve Knight of Emergent Village. As I’ve said before, most all of the familiar names in the EC existential rebellion against the final authority of the Bible are to be found within; and it’s very important for you to realize that the EC has now also embraced a bunch self-described, largely gay-affirming, Outlaw Preachers (OP) who’ve come slithering up all around “pastor” Jay Bakker.
In Meet Outlaw Preachers I brought to your attention that this rather rapscallion bunch of largely biblically illiterate, *cough* group of “preachers” is currently working hard at Turning God’s Grace Into An Idol. OPs include such EC luminaries as Queermergent’s Adele Sakler and self-described “Queer Affirming” ELCA “pastor” Nadia Bolz-Weber, who was recently featured at the EC apostasia-palooza Christianity 21 put on by Jones along with his equally heretical quasi-universalist “pastor” Doug Pagitt.
And together one of the pet doctrines of such as these right now is the foolish attempt to try and convince the Body of Christ that the deviant lifestyle of having sexual relations with another of the same sex, i.e homosexuality, is a viable one for the regenerated Christian. You should also know that Bakker’s right hand OP happens to be Lutheran-trained Khad Young, who among other things, set up and runs the OP website.
Today OP tweets:
@outlawpreachers “[D]o not harvest the grain along the edges of your fields. … Leave them for the poor.” (Leviticus 19:9-10) /via @NLTverse Online source)
Well ok, since they wanted us in Leviticus today, how about Leviticus 18:22/via the NASB:
“You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.”
That’s pretty clear; and then Khad Young gives us this quote from Church Reformer Martin Luther:
@khad “When sin is forgiven and the conscience liberated from the burden … of sin, [we] can bear everything easily.” — Luther /via @lutheranbible (Online source)
And here’s some more wisdom for Young and his brood of Outlaw i.e. No Law preachers from Martin Luther On Homosexuality, who correctly identifies homosexuality with the sin of Sodom.:
I for my part do not enjoy dealing with this passage [Genesis 19:4-5], because so far the ears of the Germans are innocent of and uncontaminated by this monstrous depravity; for even though disgrace, like other sins, has crept in through an ungodly soldier and a lewd merchant, still the rest of the people are unaware of what is being done in secret.
The Carthusian monks deserve to be hated because they were the first to bring this terrible pollution into Germany from the monasteries of Italy. (Luther’s Works, Vol. 3, 251-252)
Nope; no support whatsoever there from Luther for those who are unrepentant in their practice of sexual immorality through same-sex sexual relations, which will always be outside of marriage according to Jesus.
