In Did ELCA Pastrix Nadia Bolz-Weber Just Call Jesus “A Schmuck”?

The main reason for […]

In posts such as Contemplative Spirituality Growing Within Mainstream Evangelicalism and The Nightmare Beginning For Mainstream Evangelicalism here at Apprising Ministries I’ve been attempting to alert you to a very dark and threatening same-sex storm that is right now approaching hurricane force, and which is currently only slightly off the coast of the mainstream evangelical community.

By Ken Silva pastor-teacher on Aug 30, 2009 in Homosexuality/"Christian", Quotes | Comments Off on MARTIN LUTHER ON HOMOSEXUALITY

Thus says the LORD:”Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls.

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.

By AM on Aug 18, 2009 in Current Issues, Homosexuality/"Christian", Jay Bakker, Radio Appearances | Comments Off on KEN SILVA, JAY BAKKER AND HOMOSEXUALITY
Lately in articles like The Nightmare Beginning For Mainstream Evangelicalism AM has warned that by watching how the highly divisive issue of homosexuality is ripping apart the mainline denominations e.g. the Episcopal Church and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America mainstream evangelicalism itself is getting another peek at its own impending future. “Gay Affirming” clergy like ELCA “pastor” Nadia Bolz-Weber and “Outlaw pastor” […]

Apprising Ministries has lately been covering the growing affirmation within the egregiously ecumenical Emerging Church aka Emergent Church—currently morphing into Emergence Christianity—(EC) that someone unrepentant in their practice of homosexuality is also living a viable lifestyle for the Christian. One of the clearest examples is punk “pastor” Jay Bakker, head of what’s becoming known as outlaw preachers. I also told you in The Emerging Church Highjacking Evangelicalism that for the EC to […]
