I believe that the phrase that we're looking for here is "cart before the horse". Or maybe "hideous chutzpah". Take your pick. “I wrote this, therefore it must be of God.”

Or maybe “hideous chutzpah”.

Take your pick.

And how does Ken Know that God tells Ingrid what to write? Because she agrees with him. Brilliant! BTW Ken - I will see your <strong>"God led me to write this" </strong>and raise you <strong>"God appeared to me in a burning hedgebed and told me to tell you that isn't Him you hear"</strong>. My "hedgebed" trumps your milquetoast "led". :cool: It’s all nothing more than spiritual narcissism. And how does Ken Know that God tells Ingrid what to write? Because she agrees with him.

If Ken says do not participate in the apostate "Advent"... And Ingrid states she is looking forward to "Advent" and then posts about how wonderful it is.... And they both claim to be writing the truth.... Who then shall we believe? The SBC who has a questionable standing with his overseers? The Lutheran who will say she watches the RCC channel as it is better than the evangelical religious station? The "pastor" who states anything remotely RCC is apostate? Oh the list goes on and on... Both claim to be writing for God... and yet their "God" contradicts himself over and over.... and people who back both of these "ministries" turn a blind eye and defend them as both right.... really the hypocrisy is overwhelming at times! Believe me, for anything questionable about the emerging church, at least it seems to be biblically rooted, has a grasp a church history and honestly attempts to serve God and love people... and somehow as we do that we are the bad guys. iggy This is the question I ask ever so often… whose “truth” is the “Truth”?

If Ken says do not participate in the apostate “Advent”…

And Ingrid states she is looking forward to “Advent” and then posts about how wonderful it is….

And they both claim to be writing the truth….

Who then shall we believe?

I agree wholeheartedly. Several years ago I used to check in at Slice every day. I thought Ingrid was spot on. Then over time things changed, got much darker and condemning and were are where we are today. Ken has always been problematic in my book. Even back at the start it became evident that Ken believes he is a modern day prophet and hears directly from God. There is no reasoning with such people. I am certainly no fan of the seeker movement and see many problems with the emergent conversation. But I do believe in logic and consistency which does not seem to be high on the "must have" lists of the ODMs. I appreciate this site's administrators who are willing to at least discuss the issues.
