YouTube - Let's Talk Post-Modernism and the Emergent Church...

Interesting. Sproul, Mohler, and Ravi Zacharias.

1. Language deconstruction resulting in anti-intellectual, irrational, mysticized theology. A friend, Rev. Castellano, an Anglican, is doing doctoral work on philosophical deconstructionism and relativism--at a more sophisticated level than this scribec.

2. Religion as a "mood." Rejection of cognitive and propositional revelation.

3. Emergent brand. Brian McClaren--relativistic religion. Rejection of the law of contradiction.

4. Today's liberals are yesterday's evangelicals. Liberalism was originally rooted in "pietism."

5. "Orthodox" or classical, confessional Christians. Erasmus's claim against Luther for propositional truths on predestination.

6. "Boredom of God." Non-critical people like sheep follow the Emergents and Emerging leaders.

7. Fear and dislike of debate. "Divisive" is the claim. "Relativize" doctrine. These men say, "You can't kill doctrine and truth in the streets over the quest for `peace.'"

Recommending Dr. Scott Clark's "Recovering the Reformed Confession." While not an Anglican, it has substantial import to classical, Reformational Anglicans---not the M3-types, 'Murrikan Mutant Manglicans. But brave, thoughtful, courageous, thinking Reformed Anglicans.
