While it sounds complicated, the way of "deconstructing, eliminating and re-purposing" is in fact the easy path (for the revisionist). Shouldering the cross and abiding in His Word to the revisionist appears far too difficult. The revisionist would have to give up far to many of their earthly wants and desires to take the narrow path. They seem to forget that His yoke is easy and His burden is light after all.Undergroundpewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10182191422663119484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107887.post-59896251378072963842012-03-15T23:30:32.350-04:002012-03-15T23:30:32.350-04:00These questions are best viewed as a subset of the...These questions are best viewed as a subset of the infiltration of Christianity by linguistic post modernists. That is, they take a text and "deconstruct" it to create something new which the author, in this case God, never intended or meant. It's part and parcel of creating "new" truths from old verities. For example, I can read the Bible and know what God thinks of marriage--precisely what it is and is not. It is only by deconstructing, eliminating or re-purposing passage, do we come to an interpretation which, essentially, allows us to reach any conclusion we want.<br /><br />And people wonder why attendance and membership in progressive/liberal denominations is dropping through the floor. It's simple. If we interpret the Church to be just like the world, it's more fun to play golf on Sunday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
