"McLaren makes his first point that Christianity needs to change with the culture and times. According to Brian we also apparently need a change of operations manual, the Bible. The Bible is the “map” for true Christianity from the beginning to the end. What McLaren proposes is that over time, like geography, maps change and so our entire perception of reality must change to keep in lock step with the world. The basic fact that Jesus Christ never changes, that the truth of God’s Word never changes and is always applicable no matter what century you come from, and that Christians are to be light and salt to the world working to change worldviews to a biblical one is no longer part of the palate of the New Age, postmodern, “emerging” Christian. This opens the doors wide to new revelation, a new “Breed”, a new paradigm, and very old heresies."
Visited the Website of what very much appears and is known to be an Emergent Church ...on their statement of faith/what we believe link, then under the heading of Relevance, they actually stated that part of their faith/beliefs is that of what McLaren stated.
so very sad
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
2 Tim 4:3-4
Spurgeon States that the first step toward Apostacy is when men forsake the Truth to adore what is false.
" In looking carefully over the history of the times, and the movement of the times,
of which we have written briefly, this fact is apparent: that where ministers and
Christian churches have held fast to the truth that the Holy Scriptures have been
given by God as an authoritative and infallible rule of faith and practice, they have
never wandered very seriously out of the right way. But when, on the other hand,
reason has been exalted above revelation, and made the exponent of revelation, all
kinds of errors and mischiefs have been the result."
