The Emergent Church?

Past generations that looked at the church and saw that change was needed called for a renewed commitment to God and a return to His word as the foundational truth of the faith.. Today there is a movement that is calling for change in the church, but the change does not include a return to Biblical truth. In fact it is just the opposite - it is a call to reject the Bible or to look at scripture as something that needs a brand new interpretation for a new generation. It is a
reinventing the church.

With all this new reinterpreting and reinventing you would think we would have something never heard of before - something fresh and unique. NO - the Emergent Church has taken New Age Philosophy, Eastern Mysticism, and man centered humanistic beliefs and tacked on Christian terminology calling it a new kind of Christianity.

This new teaching is in fact very old. It has been around a long time and was first revealed in the Garden of Eden when Satan came to Eve to deceive her into thinking that she could be smarter than God. Brian Maclaren and others within the so-called Emergent church are the newest version of Satan's false teachers. The Bible warns us that in the last days people will want their ears tickled above all else.

They seek to replace the sound teaching of the Bible with humanistic philosophy that sounds good to the flesh, but in the end is damming to the soul. They teach that there is no hell, salvation can be found through many means other than Christ, and the Bible is a flawed man made book.

Beware Satan has infiltrated the church and preaches every Sunday from Emergent Church pulpits.

2Th 2:9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, 10 and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie

2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
