EMERGENT CHURCH ALERT: Seeing America Through the Mullahs’ Eyes
Cross Action News ^ | 9-10-08 | Mark D. Tooley

“Emergent” church guru Brian McLaren is urging fellow emergent Christians to see the U.S. as “others see us.” As part of this Christian enlightenment, he shares on his blog a music video in which two Iranian sisters, posing as broadcast journalists hosting an Iranian news broadcast, sing an anti-American diddy about “demoKracy,” while American bombs cascade on innocent civilians. “An Iranian-born friend sent me the link,” McLaren chimed. “And I can’t help but feel it would do my fellow USAmericans a lot of good to let this video/song sink in …” No doubt.

Every few decades a new false Christian movement comes along and confuses the masses who refuse to read the word for themselves. Instead they count on charismatic teachers to tell them what the Bible says.

This Emergent church movement is the latest attack on the Church. The saddest thing is that the attack did not come from the outside, it came from within

Paul told Timothy to be watchful because

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. 2Timothy 2:3-4

He also told the Thessalonians

For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false. 2Thessalonians 2:11

This is just another attack on the Church like all the others, true Christians will know the difference, that's why Bush won twice and now McCain/Palin will also win

Like when the Pharisees wanted to stone Jesus, and He slipped away. The scriptures tell us it was not His time yet.
I see the same thing going on now, it is not time for these things to happen as of yet, but close.

Yes! A few months ago I was directed to a website of a very large church in the northwest valley near Phoenix. The topic was how Christians should respond to homosexuality, but it was all meant to shame us into accepting it with open arms. We were supposed to look at ourselves through the eyes of gays to see what is wrong with US. I was very offended as it reminded me of the lunatics after 9/11 who insisted that, somehow, the attack was OUR fault. “Why do they hate us??” That kind of crap.

I’ll never forget the opening video of a young lesbian talking about how she was treated. Never mind that gays tend to take EVERYTHING personally and believe that every word, gesture, facial expression must be a reaction to their gay-ness. At the end of the video, the interviewer said, “Do you believe you’re a sinner?” The young woman dropped her head for a long time and tears came to her eyes. I don’t remember how she responded, but I thought, “I hope that someone on that film crew takes a few minutes to talk with her about Jesus.” I’ll bet they didn’t, though. They got what they wanted — a slam against Christians.

The “emergent church” is the biggest danger to the true church in present time. It’s been brewing over a number of decades. There’s much online as to what this movement entails and how they’ve wormed their way through churches. We must educate ourselves to know a farce when we see one.

Who th’ hell cares how they see us. If they didn’t roll over for the Muslim creep Mullahs, bombs wouldn’t drop. To hell with ‘em all and all who embrace ‘multi-culturalism’. There IS no hyphenated America. Get in it, or get out of it.
