If one is of the opinion that there are no gods, that opinion is driven by a worldview, a philosophical position, even if the atheist is not aware of it.

And I don't have a doctorate but I understand that malarkey. ;-) I’m not big into the Evolution debate because I simply have better things to do with my time but the “time line” of the birds’ Evolution not being “chronological progression” is priceless.

]]> Comment on Mart De Haan and Emergent Church Influence? by Don Blosser http://blog.whatisman.com/2009/04/06/mart-de-haan-emergent-church-influence/comment-page-1/#comment-34 Don Blosser Thu, 05 Nov 2009 06:50:31 +0000 http://blog.whatisman.com/2009/04/06/mart-de-haan-emergent-church-influence/#comment-34 I have some related concerns about Mr. DeHaan and the future direction of RBC ministries. These concerns arose when I did a search on their website for "The Shack". I was curious if RBC had taken a stand regarding W.P. Young's heretical and blasphemous book. I was disappointed (if that is a strong enough word) to learn that not only had Mart DeHaan spoken glowingly of this book, he had even gone out of his way to speak disparagingly of the book's critics, coming just short of accusing them of taking book passages out of context. I have posted 3 or 4 comments on that article page and have yet to hear back from Mr. DeHaan. When I used the [Contact Us] link to voice concerns, I heard back from a different member of the RBC staff who, while admitting that many of his friends and family think The Shack is "a blasphemous book", unashamedly admitted that he himself loves it very much. Personally, I cannot comprehend how someone who truly knows Jesus as Lord and Savior could tolerate, much less appreciate, a book that presents the One who holds in perfect order billions of galaxies as a bumbling incompetent oaf who spills thing on people and can't catch one lousy fish that he really wants to catch. Nor can I fathom how a believer in the Bible as the revealed Word of God could speak well of a book that puts in the mouth of its false god, lying words which dare to contradict what God has clearly revealed as true. I put this in similar terms to both RBC staff. Neither has bothered to address my question. I fear that (unless we see a parenthetical period of revival in response to a desperate cry from God's people) we are just now seeing the small, beginning waves of a soon-coming tsunami of apostasy. The signs are clear: Many formerly sound ministries going ecumenical at the cost of truth. Dehaan & RBC drifting. The Gaithers flirting with W.P. Young and Emergent leaders. Billy Graham on Schuller's show saying a person can be a born again, heaven -bound Muslim or Atheist, never having heard the gospel or even the name of Jesus. The "Emerging "church" downplaying the Bible, the Church and the Cross. The brain washing of American youth re: homosexuality (an all out attack on the inspiration and reliability of the Word of God). The recent poll showing 57 percent of evangelical church attenders believe many religions can lead to eternal life...and on and on... grab a flashlight, the lights are going out fast!

The original deception of Genesis 3 consisted of Eve's failure to accurately recall the commands of God, and her being convinced to rely on her own assessment of what her course of action would be. Trust in God, in contrast, infers an necessary distrust of one's self; a reliance upon Divine revelation and not one's own insights, as Proverbs 3:5,6 indicate."
