I love the fact he mentioned early on that the church had NO clue what the modern problems of the day were. Don't think that has changed much until recently.

@jacmia you know i often ask myself, " why do the rich, wealthy, or the underhanded people always have wonderful luck? a comfortable wonderful life... while the poor stay poor, the hungry stay hungry and suffer in a terrible life. looks like god plays favorites dosent it? I guess it real easy for the poweful and wealthy to sit in a church talking about how much they love god because he gave them all that money basically. while some kid lives sick and hungry on the streets with nothing...

"The most comprehensive review of personality and political orientation to date . . . found that conservatives have a greater desire to reach a decision quickly and stick to it, and are higher on conscientiousness, which includes neatness, orderliness, duty, and rule-following. Liberals are higher on openness, which includes intellectual curiosity, excitement-seeking, novelty, creativity for its own sake, and a craving for stimulation like travel, color, art, music, and literature."

Christianity = hate

Christianity = violence

Christianity = lies

Its unbelievable that in this day and age people still find truth in this fairy tale

lol. By the way, the Southern Baptists are having creation care conferences and they are recycling. There's hope!

If any one wants to know the truth of whats REALLY going on in the Body of Christ, a good place to start would be olivetreeviews and then add .this guy is off his rocker, he's not teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I dont even think he used a bible during this presentation, he's really not better than a politician or social scientist, and not of Jesus, sorry read 2Timothy 4:3 and you will find this guy there and possible YOURSELVES.

@HelpmeJeshua Get Eric Barger's new dvd Divorced from Church: How Apostasy is Scattering the Sheep..dealing with Emergent thinking, liberal theology,"seeker" philosophies, seromns on global warming, and"green Christianity" and false church growth gimmicks. WATCH OUT , these kind of teachings are leading people quickly astray from what is REALLY going on,

@HelpmeJeshua BE VERY CAREFUL, the real BODY OF CHRIST, has written him of as apostasy and a heretic. read 2 Timothy 4:3, if this guy is hooked up with the world and the WORLD gives him the stamp of approval, LOOK out he's most likely NOT of JESUS. View my channel for info on the Emergent Church and the social gospel, it is not the truth of what God says about himself or us for that matter. He teaches an all-inclusive feel good Jesus, which is not what Jesus says about himself.

I have finally found teaching that agrees with my understanding of the Grace and message of Life and Love brought by Jesus. Much of teaching in Christianity has always seemed so irrelevant and in direct conflict, ie Grace and Love are taught, but the general consensus is to judge and condemn anyone who is in sin. If we know that we all fall short of God's glory, shouldn't we allow people to wrought out their deeds with God? John 3: 17-23 Isn't that what Jesus/Holy Spirit came for?
