No emergent, let alone you guys, would ever “declare to His people their transgressions” – Chris P.

I would agree on some level, however, that same case could be made for the “orthodox” and “ODM” crowd. The next time one of you guys publicly takes Ingrid to task I will bake a cake!

I’ve missed your whit Chris… thanks for chimming in.

Usually musicians are much more tender hearted.

Except brass players. They pretty much all have hearts of stone…lips of steel…uh…lungs of gas…

Yes.

I will guarantee the odm types do more “good works” than any of you.
The ecm/emrgent purpose driven folk have their reward.

So humbly stated…

I guarantee that not all that say Lord, Lord will enter the Kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 7: 21″Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

1 Peter 5:4-6
4And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away. 5Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,
“God opposes the proud
but gives grace to the humble.”[a] 6Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time

Just sonething to think about.

How am I supposed to keep up when you guys keep handing off the Mantle of Omniscience ™ to each other?

But I cannot understand arguing over feeding the poor, etc., as a complimentary gospel role. I guess I don’t understand because I’m not hungry.

I will guarantee the odm types do more “good works” than any of you.

Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.

Its like Chris P is rebuking himself.
