Emergent

I honestly don't know much about the "Emerging" and "Emergent" church movements. However I do know that the bible warns us that in the last days;

For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.2 Timothy 4:3-4 (NIV)

For the reason that Timothy mentions, I believe we all need to be VERY careful on being led astray. This isn't a new warning...it is simply a more urgent warning as we watch the foundations of society, food supplies and world peace start to shake.

With that being said, I happen to catch an article on Rapture Ready that was talking about Brian McLaren and some of his statements. http://raptureready.com/soap/tt1.html Brian is an author and church leader and I know his name has come up many times in the "emerging" discussion. If someone starts saying that Jesus died as a political statement and compares him to other people who died for similar causes...we need to run towards the word of God and away from such false teachers.
