The Emerging Church: Satan's Little Helper

I haven't read a whole lot about the "Emerging Church Movement." I've merely taken it on the good authority of many Bible-believing, Scripture-preaching pastors that it is nothing less than heresy, and quite possibly blasphemy. After reading some quotes from the movement's leader, Brian McLaren, allow me a minute to pick my jaw up from off the floor. Here is just a sample, from Thinkerup (via Truth War Central):

"Frankly, many of us don't know what we should think about homosexuality. We've heard all sides but no position has yet won our confidence so that we can say "it seems good to the Holy Spirit and us."
--Brian McLaren on the Homosexual Question, Out of Ur, Jan. 2006
-----------------
"What if Jesus' secret message reveals a secret plan?".... What if he didn't come to start a new religion--but rather came to start a political, social, religious, artistic, economic, intellectual, and spiritual revolution that would give birth to a new world?"
––Brian McLaren, The Secret Message of Jesus, p. 4
-----------------
“.... Alan Jones is a pioneer in reimagining a Christian faith that emerges from authentic spirituality. His work stimulates and encourages me deeply.” (Brian McLaren's comments on the back flap of Alan Jones' book Reimagining Christianity where Alan Jones states the following about the Christ's crucifixion: "The Church's fixation on the death of Jesus as the universal saving act must end, and the place of the cross must be reimagined in Christian faith. Why? Because of the cult of suffering and the vindictive God behind it." (p. 132)

"The other thread of just criticism addresses the suggestion implicit in the cross that Jesus' sacrifice was to appease an angry god. Penal substitution [the Cross] was the name of this vile doctrine." (p. 168)
-----------------
"I must add, though, that I don't believe making disciples must equal making adherents to the Christian religion. It may be advisable in many circumstances to help people become followers of Jesus and remain within their Buddhist, Hindu, or Jewish contexts."
---Brian McLaren, A Generous Orthodoxy, p. 260

And yet, so many people who want so badly to cling to their old, unChristian beliefs while claiming to be seeking God's kingdom are being blinded by the god of this world. They think that this "there is no truth, we all make our own truth" stuff is the truth. Because, you see, we have to "reinvent" the truth. Please, if you know someone is involved with this stuff, pray that the LORD will open their eyes and save them from it.
