There is something perhaps deeper. When I came to be KNOWN by God and KNEW IT in shock led to the Job 42:6 type Deep Repentance. I had been spitting in Jesus's Face for 'believing in God and Jesus' by my own mind and not Objectively WIthin the LIght of Truth. Woe is me! I said, "I had been an Agnostic Christian"..Emergent Church looks like the manifestation of people who are not willing to Pretend honestly to themselves but haven't come to Revelation. Apart from Revelation of some kind ...eventually the ugly weed's roots will manifest into what we are seeing. Spiritually - I see it as a Paradox - the True New Atheism is the Emergent Church...while new atheists might think it is something else.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01980724753973410660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415216177401538805.post-75142028221501837732009-12-08T11:21:19.227-05:002009-12-08T11:21:19.227-05:00Exactly.

Even heresy plays its part in His plan, and the theological errors which inevitably find their way into all of our heads play a role for OUR ultimate good. Every time I uncover another mistake in my thinking, and see it corrected by the Word, I find God's great glory and wisdom afresh. It seems impossible that God would respond so graciously to our wrongheaded notions - almost as impossible as God justifying the ungodly on the basis of faith alone, through the atoning work which He Himself accomplished (using human sin as a means of accomplishing it). But with God all things are possible, because He is that sovereign.THEOparadoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03214982083585956095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415216177401538805.post-17386153561139051192009-12-07T13:52:28.279-05:002009-12-07T13:52:28.279-05:00"Ultimately, however, the emergence and succe...<i>"Ultimately, however, the emergence and success of postmodern philosophy is part of a horrific judgment which God has unleashed, as He gives a sinful world over to its own cravings and allows it to suppress the priceless Truth in unrighteousness."</i> Great point!The Blainemonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13157965154638461280noreply@blogger.com
