"Interesting. Isn't the whole Christian message a set up?"

I don't really believe the above statement at all. But what I am certain of is this: people in our time are quick to defend man and very slow to defend the Word of God. The only way to be able to discern the truth in our time is to STUDY God's Word and stop filling our eyes and ears and minds with garbage. Bell's occasional accuracies are overshadowed by his frequent fast and loose messages.

Rob Bell tried to inject that Hipps was setting them up...wow...when are people going to see that the entire emergent movement is a setup...a bait and switch..."everything must change"..."the shift"...the medium is NOT the message, but it is the method of raking in the big bucks...as for the guy who referenced the Balaam story: God did speak to me thru this video...and the word was run from this false teaching as fast as you can...

You guys are doing a good job.

@dmoniac69 It's not merely seeming like idolatry. It is idolatry. Also, a cross or a crucifix is idolatry. Even churches are often treated with a sense of idolatry. The ironic part is that the Gnostics were the ones who worshipped experience of God above all else, who directly followed Jesus' rather than idolized him example and it was a Gnostic who created the first New Testament canon. Without the Gnostics, there might be no Christian Bible today, just a bunch of disconnected texts instead.

@UnrealHelix

Cool.

[dallasmckinley]

Yeah... these guys seem to start out with a catch phrase/thought... which develops into nothing. Never learn a thing except that its really useless if your goal is to become a disciple of Jesus Christ. People have probably come to Jesus through the emerging church, like they do through dead religion occasionally, but it is deeply flawed. Back to the vid: yeah, a waist of my time.

It's ironic that this is a Youtube video.

Medium matters, but not not as much as Hipps says, I think. And of course we're the most important medium; it doesn't seem to be a new idea to me.

[Thresholds]

From selling Porsches to selling Jesus. Sounds totally great.

[UnrealHelix]

I never learn anything from these guys. Not a thing.

@dmoniac69 You have a good point. I have a partial Jewish background and in spite I became Christian some years ago, something was not right with contemporary theology. Many pastors have turned the words of the Bible into a golden calf and whenever someone comes with a new teaching they fear more about themselves and losing their flocks (and jobs). I read the Bible many times but somewhat Rob Bell helped me to put all the pieces together and now I freely and openly accept that I believe in Jesus
