Re: Adultery as Hyperbole?

It sounds like Keener is advocating the preservation of all remarriages. I disagree. Many remarriages involve cheated spouses and I think in most cases that returning to the original spouse would be most righteous. Other remarriages may directly be justifiable based on Jesus' exception clause or Pau...

Re: what do you think of this vid ?

Thanks for the feedback Steve. I want to be slow in leaping to judgment of these men also. Honestly, I think most of them are probably sincere but misguided. Others may in fact be wolves in sheep's clothing. God knows. I want to continue praying for them and hopefully be less "abrasive" in speaking ...

Re: Adultery as Hyperbole?

I appreciate the dialogue. Thank you brothers for your input. It sounds like we'd all agree here that marriage is dissoluble. If so, is it only for the exception of adultery (Matt 5:32; 19:9), or abandonment by an unbelieving spouse (1 Cor 7:15) as some, but not all, would argue? Or was Jesus teachi...

Adultery as Hyperbole?

I've been wrestling over the issue of marriage, divorce and remarriage for several years now, not because I find myself in these circumstances but have seen much painful division in the body of Christ because of the various views on this topic. I thought I was familiar with all the views on this iss...

Re: what do you think of this vid ?

Thanks for checking out the movie and the constructive criticism Jeremiah. It seems to me that Emergents, especially Bell, McLaren and Pagitt, typically view heaven and hell that way probably because of the passages that speak of the Kingdom of Heaven as a present spiritual reality, but fail to make...

Re: Rob Bell/Chan...other edgy emergents ?

While "heresy hunting" can certainly be unhealthy, I think we are admonished to expose error. "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine " (II Tim. 4:2). "Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be abl...

If anybody is interested in learning more about Emergent, check out a documentary called The Real Roots of the Emergent Church : http://www.holybibleprophecy.org/films/the-real-roots-of-the-emergent-church/ I know many critics have unfairly quoted Emergent leaders by taking isolated sound bytes out ...
