This sort of reminds me of the arrogant hand that keeps taking a claw hammer to it's own head, all the while laughing manically in victory. If the church cannot be Christ-like in its behavior towards itself, is it any wonder the world is such a mess? Sigh.

RB is not the point of this post... he's just an example that was used to highlight another point. I don’t care about RB either.

Looks like I found the party. I don't really care much for RB, I'll probably never read one of his books. I have watched a few video clips and my opinion is that he is not the kind of guy I would want for a pastor. He comes off as an intellectual/trendy guy for sure, but that doesn't carry much weight with me personally. We spend lots of time arguing about these prominent guys like somehow it makes us more relevant or plugged in to what is going on in the national scene. It ends up sounding like the "peanut gallery." RB has zero impact on my life. I would rather talk about things that do. It always makes for heated discussions on blogs though, so maybe that's why we do it. Vanity. Well good morning brothers.

It took some advising from Don Stewart to finally get it changed. But that language of seperate was clearly deemed heretical by the church through her councils and creeds throughout history. How exactly does Dave come to his conclusion about what constitutes heresy? Is he the ultimate authority on that issue?

Missler too. Steve wrote,

How many people had to call him out over his piss poor scholarship in "What Love is This?" How many second and third generation sources did he use or quotes out of context? How many times did he have to be told that he was off with his historical assements and conclusions and needed to correct them? I found enough historical and factual errors in the first 6 chapters alone to write a 27 page letter to a friend who was promoting this drivel. Where were all you "watch dogs" then? Or is any stick good enough when people are on "that other" team? I have enough education to know when someone is making stuff up, and Dave does so quite often while waxing wise. And if men like you will defend him at all costs, it is no wonder he will lose his audience when he "cries wolf" again and again. He may be right on this issue or that one, but undiscerning supporters of the discerners removes their actual credibility. And if Dave is dealing with Rob Bell in the same manner he dealt with Calvin, Rob has my sympathy because I wonder if Dave can actually read a book. Steve

I allowed myself to get a bit riled up by the content on this thread. 2. When I became riled up, I stated an accusation that was not necessary. 3. I have deleted the one post that had the accusation. It has stirred up more unnecessary accusations and has provoked a threat to turn me into Calvary Chapel Headquarters (which doesn't exist). 4. I will continue to block or delete the posts of those who are antagonistic. Jim.. I appreciate your words. I would like to state an apology.
