Warnings About the Post-Modern, Liberal, Emerging Church Movement

Are you, your church, or someone you know unknowingly being influenced? If so, where is it heading?

Please note: I do not say the things I say in this video to be mean or to offend anyone. Rather, I say what I say out of genuine Christian love, concern, a growing burden, and out of a clear conviction of what dangers I see coming on many in our churches.

I'm wanting to become a Christian but another Christian on youtube said to keep away from the churches because they are corrupt and they twist God's word. They want to be apart of the system, not the Kingdom of God. They only tell people what they want to hear and care about money and he said that it's full of sinful hypocrites and that Jesus doesn't dwell in buildings made by men, he only dwells inside of us when we are good and that a relationship with Jesus can only save us.

@piaybackjunkie17 He/she is right in some respects. However, there are still many good churches out there and fellowship is really vital. Jesus said where 2 or 3 are gathered in His name He is in the midst (Matt. 18:20) and the writer of Hebrews says that we are not to forsake the gathering of ourselves together (Heb. 10:25).

@piaybackjunkie17 I would suggest setting aside a couple of months visiting local Christian churches. An ideal church will be having regular Bible studies, prayer meetings, preaching out of the Bible, and be warm and welcoming. I will also end you a PM re. becoming a Christian.

Amen Shaz...I am so glad you are one of the few who speaks out against these guys. Jubliee Church in Grantham, you need to stamp out this "Fire spirit" thing. Joyce Meyer..Jesus did not go to hell and your salavation does not depend on u believing this. Baptised churches...you should be teaching about Gods plans for Israel, they need to hear it! I think Jacob Phrash has it spot on....."If your doctrine is wrong...you are wrong" I think small home groups are the way to go (my opinioun)

@tickpenwa Interesting post. Thanks.

man, imagine if we spent as much time feeding the hungry and clothing the naked as we did arguing over theology.

"And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you." - Matthew 24:4

Many are sadly deceived.

@lookingup82 thanks for the link. sadly articles about the pope in the west are typically fraught with difficulties. I would want to read the Pope's ACTUAL SPEECH (which should be posted on the holy see's website at vatican(.)va) to see what was actually said, not just some reporters second or third hand interpretation of it.

[XSC3]

@lookingup82 Pope Benedict has written entire libraries about Jesus, and he's certainly not looking to become Muslim. Popes usually speak in diplomatic language. remember the flack he got for quoting the harsh words of an Emperor against Muhammad. Muslims regard Jesus as a prophet, and so I'd be surprised if they'd be offended if Jesus was mentioned in a speech by the leader of the world's ancient Christians.

@lookingup82 use of "inclusive language" in bible translations has always been controversial. I'm simply skeptical of the claim that this was done to appease "Muslims."

[XSC3]

@lookingup82 Muslims refer to Allah as "He" after all. if they were trying to placate Muslims they'd need to do a lot more to the bible than change the phrase "Son of God." Muslims reject the idea of Jesus dying, for example. that's a big one. in their view he was never crucified. a lot of the things Jesus said would offend them as well. so I highly doubt this was done as you say. I'd like to see more proof first if you don't mind.

[XSC3]

@lookingup82 I'd like to see some more information about this "controversy." I'm immediately skeptical of such a claim. for starters, why would this be done to placate Muslims? Muslims don't accept the Bible in the first place, and would have far bigger problems with it than the terms used to refer to the persons of the Trinity. If what you say is true (about the bible translations) it's far more likely it was done by liberal Christians who are offended by the divine "masculine"
