"Let's have a conversation"

Never heard of the guy or this church. End of conversation.

God invites us to reason with Him. Should we not also attempt to reason with others?

God invites us to reason with Him. Should we not also attempt to reason with others?

We Are not God first of all.
What would others (esp unbelievers) have to offer that is better or truer than Scripture? Is not God's Word sufficient? Don't you think Christians have compromised far enough?

Reason with God? How so please explain?

Isaiah, chapter one. <- Clickable link

I would add the Holy Spirit. When you say is not Gods Word suffient, I would add the Holy Spirit. We all need this in order to stand right with God. But I agree the Word is sustainable, man cannot live on bread alone but on the Word of God.

Thanks for your service.
Yes, the Spirit and Word always work together, but I think you know what I meant.

It's not just one guy, he was just a representative of what has been going on. He wrote a million dollar seller about 20 years ago about the dangers of dating (I kissed Dating Goodbye) for homeschooling groups., has now renounced Christ. https://www.christianpost.com/voice/a-letter-to-josh-harris.html

If you don't know what the Emergent Church is, well...think a hip liberal in clerical garb trying to come up with innovative ideas of interpretation to shock those who hold to biblical faith. (iow, Fundies). And don't tell me you don't know what a Fundie is...if so, end of conversation for sure.

I suppose I could google that but no, have no idea what Fundies are. Sounds like this nut job wrote a book offering misguided advice about dating. Don't surprise me either that he was unfaithful to his wife. All of those self-righteous holier than thou types come out of the same mold. In the end it usually comes down to money.

I suppose I could google that but no, have no idea what Fundies are.

i dont know what a fundie is.
If theres any forum to find out what exactly that is, this would be the thread.

A fundie is a derogatory term coined by theological compromising liberals in their attempt to shame Bible believers who hold to the basics of the Faith.

*Fundie* being a derogatory nickname for a Fundamentalist. Every genuine Christian should be a Fundamentalist. The Bible is the sole authority for Christians, and the fundamentals of the faith (the body of Christian doctrine) are called "the faith which was once delivered unto the saints" by Jude (who exhorts Christians to earnestly contend for the faith).

Unfortunately -- and sadly -- there was a time when all Bible-believing Christians regarded themselves as Fundamentalists (when they broke away from -- or more accurately -- were driven away by theological liberals). But that did not last long enough, and the next generation became *Evangelicals*, followed by the *Neo-Evangelicals*, followed by the *Emergents*, followed by rank liberals and apostates.

Today the majority of evangelical and fundamentalist churches are making serious compromises in order to attract crowds. And all theological liberalism (unbelief) began in the seminaries and Bible schools, then filtered down into the churches. But the majority of ordinary Christians continued to remain in those churches and support them, rather than leave them to their own devices. Today, a good yardstick to determine theological liberalism in Christian denominations is to see where they stand on homosexuality and the ordination of homosexual pastors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blessing_of_same-sex_unions_in_Christian_churches

No, let's not!...

Genesis 3:1-3 NASBS
[1] Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, "Indeed, has God said, 'You shall not eat from any tree of the garden'?" [2] The woman said to the serpent, "From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; [3] but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.'"

The rest is history.
The essence of our message is to be proclaimed, not discussed. In discussion, many compromises are made where human reason begins usurping God's revelation.
Lately many are falling for this tactic of the enemy, the latest being Josh Harris (Google him). Also the Emergent Church has gone down this path. It's the old Hegelian dialectic of Thesis<--->Antithesis resulting in a compromised Synthesis and is spearheading the latest apostasy in the Church.

But the devil is behind it all. DIVISION AND CONFUSION.
