Re: Deep Church: Reflection #1 - Emergents Like to Protest

James,
I think you have some interesting and innovative ideas to share and on the same level I also believe the Concerned Nazarenes has valid points to share. In another frame of reference Brian Mclaren has some worhty ideas to share, but he is not a Nazarene. My understanding from your very own writings are of your being a confessed Nazarene by your beliefs of John Wesley's propagations. My main point that I want to stress borders upon your method of execution, which is nugatory and gives the impression of a negative disposition. The word "emergent nazarene" bears an offensive nature to those in favor of their Nazarene heritage, and I am one of these people. Love people, all people, even to those we most disagree. Preach/ live your faith, and share it to your heart's content, and I don't really believe you can honestly tell me you agree with all Mclaren propagates, I don't and neither does he agree with all the Nazarene doctrines. He is wise who winneth souls says the Bible and this is what we are about. Me, I am a middle of the road guy, I am not in the fight between the concerned or emergent... Ya'll have fun, but please consider the damage you do to the Gospel of Christ! Peace of Christ - Roy

Sounds to me like you are in a huge state of discontent with the Church,
umh! I will pray for you to give this to the Lord.
1 Peter 5:7 - Casting all your care your care Him; for He careth for you.
*"Always rejoice, constantly pray, in everything give thanks. For this is
God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (*1 Thess.
5:16–18<http: www.biblestudytools.com="" onlinestudybible="" bible.cgi?word="1th+5:16-18&version=nas">
*).*
**Peace of Christ my friend!

Dude, my Lord is bigger than the tiny God you speak of, He is bigger than technology, man, He is the creator of it! The Church is not a mere building, the Church is all the born again believers in Jesus Christ. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Eph.6:12 Where are you coming up with your theology, surely not from the Word of God!

Psalm 62:1-12
I am not a changing Christian, but a growing one. 1 Peter 2:1
I did google "rapid discontinuous change" and dor you check out www.persecution.com and see the real battle for our faith today! Your emergent church I believe will be part of this persecution coming to America. We don't need to change the Church, we are the Church! We just need to live it.

The world we live in is, and has alway been in a constant state of change, even in the time of Christ. God changes not, He is the same today, tomorrow, and yes, yesterday. My Bible is the same as the day I was born and just as relevant. So, whats your point!

Re: Denomination Caves To Concerned Nazarenes

Brent,
I bet you never had a heart to heart talk with a concerned Nazarene, or even yet a fundamentalist. I doubt that you have very much mental understanding of either. The concerned Nazarenes see something to be concerned about, which you obviously do not. You have offended me with your comments about us, and I will pray for the peace of Christ to flood your soul. The last time I checked the diversity you spoke of must be backed up with scripture.

I say Praise the Lord that you are getting away from this trash. It is not glorifying to our Lord Jesus Christ in the least bit. Although, the site is closing, but what about your heart to this mess.
