Apparently, a bunch of people who are my dearest friends are out to ruin Christianity. (Um, like it needed any help?) Anyway, these two guys (Kev and Ted)–shh, they’re Calvinists (not that there’s anything wrong with that) are going to save us all from utter spiritual ruin with their brand new book, Why We Aren’t Emergent: By Two Guys Who Should Be. This is a book that aims to criticize the Emergent Church for thinking outside of the “evangelical norm.” But what is weird is that the “reformed” belief in T.U.L.I.P. would have never existed if it hadn’t been for somebody being “free” enough to think outside the box.
A new book that you should check out is written by my friend Doug Pagitt; it’s called A Christianity Worth Believing: Hope-filled, Open-armed, Alive-and-well Faith for the Left Out, Left Behind, and Let Down in us All. Doug is crazy, loud, out-spoken, hilarious, ballsy, and um, emergent. I’ll be interviewing him for my blog in the next few weeks, so if you have any questions that you would like for me to ask him, send an email to JesusNeedsNewPR@gmail.com.
I had lunch with my new friend Adam Ellis yesterday. He’s a pastor in town from West Virginia, taking a class at Lipscomb University. We talked a lot about books.
Viagra is for the treatment of inability to get or keep an erection and similar states when erection is of low quality. When you buy remedies like cialis from canada you should know about cialis online canada. It may have a lot of brands, but only one ATC Code. Erectile dysfunction, defined as the persistent impossibility to maintain a satisfactory hard-on, affects an estimated 15 to 30 millions men in the America alone. Sexual health is an substantial part of a man’s life, no question his age etc.
Well maybe Kev and Ted are just against the emergent ideas such as “we cant know anything for certain” or “lets just have a conversation and not believe anything” or the “what if” questions without any substance.
Yes John Calvin and Martin Luther thought outside of the box but they had biblical reasons for it.
And the reasons don’t have to be biblical if an emergent person doesn’t believe in biblical authority. So yea being emergent is nothing new in the sense of changing one’s theology, but to just be unorthodox, liberal, progressive or different just for the heck of it doesn’t make sense to me. I’d respect the emergent church more if they would define their beliefs. And I’d like to see an emergent apologist.
