10 Signs You May Have Just Entered... The Emergent Church Zone

Have you ever heard an emergent post-modern speak and thought something was just off? Do you get tired of people telling you there is no absolute truth without realizing that their statement would have to be absolutely true? If you walk into a church that's saying things like this, you may have just crossed into... the emergent zone.

The Bible actually spoke about the emergent post-modern church at great length. Just look up these terms: "hypocrisy" and "hypocrite". You'll find plenty of verses addressing the subject matter these people are putting forth.

Loved this video! #8 was my favorite.

The word you use most in this video is "they." I thought the Church was supposed to be a "we," regardless of disagreements? I get the whole being snarky for a sense of humor, but if you think these things are legitimate issues, and that they are going to hell for it, shouldn't there be a care or longing for your brothers and sisters? Where's the love?

"Many people, entering what they think is a church, have entered into something bizarre."

Some of us think all churches--indeed, all religions--are bizarre. It's just a matter of degree.

Great video.

There is no god. I have no idea what the origins of live and the universe are; I do have plenty of evidence that there wasn't a 7 day event and that Jesus didn't ride a raptor. And I refuse to pay money for the privilege to sing stupid songs, stand up and down with a bunch of strangers and watch some twit swan around in stupid clothes and talk to someone invisible. The fastest-growing segment of the US population? "None of the Above."

I don't have faith and I have way more self-respect than to charge strangers money to tell them things nobody could possibly know.

@NixonisLord No one's got more faith than an atheist. To believe some massive explosion (entirely accidental) happened where some single celled (magically quickened) organism blew out into a pool of water that immediately started mass producing at a phenomenal rate that split off into thousands of different species, forming hearts then lungs then stomachs then kidneys, eyes, nose... etc. Lord God! You guys must have faith in your belief in absolutely nothing!

Informative and chilling video. Each of us need to rely on Holy Spirit to understand the Word for without Holy Spirit we can twist the Bible into saying anything and be deceived by false teaching from a church.
