The emphasis here for emergent Christians is on serving and being generous. They think it is more important to live and act in faithful ways rather than obsessing about what we should believe.

No they don't. They just talk about it and try to get others to be generous. All their money goes towards movie admissions, coffee and beer. They live and act like a bunch of people impressed with themeselves. When it comes down to actually caring about actual people, they don't. In fact they hate them in the worst way. They help them into hell.

You have a lot bad to say about this movement and give examples that I haven't seen.

You have written:

"As for humility, emergents are the most arrogant people I have ever come across."

"They live and act like a bunch of people impressed with themeselves."

"When it comes down to actually caring about actual people, they don't."

"If they use their Bible at all it is for visualization stories or for mantra ideas to help them reach the mystic 'cloud of unknowing.'"

"What these people call deconstruction and reconstruction honest people just call lying and scamming."

"They often will completely redefine terms and then claim to accept the label."

"They are an apostate faction trying to subvert the gospel itself."

From your past posts it seems the only experience you have had with the emergent movement is a liberal youth pastor at your church. Now granted, I prefer the Kimball side to the movement than the MacLaren side. I believe MacLaren has some personal baggage that he brings from his past experience with the evangelical movement. However, even though the emerging church is a fledgling movement, it is an important one to reach the increasingly unchurched youth in America.

You got that right. Although I don’t know that someone like Jim Wallis is as insincere as someone like say, Nancy Pelosi and the ‘secular’ religious demoncrats. Jim Wallis seems sincere like all those naive animals in Orwell’s book who end up in the same predicament at the end as they were in at the beginning, while Pelosi and her ilk are the pigs who replace the oppressors.

Doesn’t make Jim wallis any less screwed up however. He’s an enabler of these oppressors.
