CASEY FRESWICK: "VELVET ELVIS" BY ROB BELL MERGER OF DIALECTIC PHILOSOPHY, LIBERALISM, AND NEO-ORTHODOXY »

Rob Bell’s repainting of false teaching looks like a merger of the dialectic philosophy of Hegel, the liberalism of Rudolph Bultmann and the neo-orthodoxy of Karl Barth.

PLEASE PRAY FOR ME »

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. (2 Timothy 4:7-8) […]

GARY GILLEY: "CELEBRATION OF DISCIPLINE" BY RICHARD FOSTER ENCYCLOPEDIA OF THEOLOGICAL ERROR »

Celebration of Discipline alone, not even referencing [Richard] Foster’s other writings and teachings and ministries, is a virtual encyclopedia of theological error. We would be hard pressed to find in one so-called evangelical volume such a composite of false teaching. These include faulty views on the subjective leading of God (pp. 10, 16-17, 18, 50, 95, […]
