I was going to share this on The Shoe’s facebook page, but I know some of you readers are not on there and might enjoy it, too. So I thought I’d throw a quick post on the blog.
The Real Roots of the Emergent Church is put out by Holy Bible Prophecy. And while I don’t know much about that particular ministry or website, I found this film to be very informative and shocking!
This is the description of the film on their website:
This Christian documentary film The Real Roots of the Emergent Church will take an honest look at the leaders of the Emerging Church movement such as Brian McLaren, Doug Pagitt, Tony Jones, Rob Bell, Tony Campolo, Steve Chalke, Peter Rollins, Dan Kimball, Richard Rohr, Phyllis Tickle, Spencer Burke and others. Who are they and what are they teaching? Become familiar with the postmodern Emergent Church and its popular tactic of literary deconstruction applied to the Bible. This film takes an in-depth look at what the Emerging Church believes concerning the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Scriptures, absolute truth, hell, homosexuality, mysticism, contemplative prayer, other religions, and eschatology in comparison to the Bible. Much more than candles and couches!
Subjects of this film were contacted for direct interviews. Doug Pagitt, Tony Jones and others were contacted in April 2011. No response. At a Love Wins book signing, Rob told us he would be willing to do an interview and to contact his church which was done several times with no response. We do not fault them for that knowing they are all probably very busy people. But for this reason we have resorted to their own public statements. This film is our way of joining the conversation.
Participants: Eric Ludy, Joe Schimmel, Chris Rosebrough, Bob DeWaay, Gary Gilley, Ray Yungen, Robert LeBus, Jay Peters, James Sundquist, and Elliott Nesch.
Running Time: 120 minutes.
Hopefully this will answer some questions you may have regarding the Emergent Church, where it came from, what it believes and where it’s going.
God bless!

There was a quote in here – ‘Truth without love is a killer – and Love without the Truth is a liar. The bible commands us to have both’… wow! Elliott Nesch (1 of the speakers) stood out to me and I’m enjoying his Holy Bible prophecy site. Thanks for sharing this video. I started to listen to this some months ago – but took the time to wade thru it more this time. Good to know!

I don’t know anything about the Emergent Church, but I do remember a former pastor showing Rob Bell videos and something just didn’t sit right with me. Thanks for the info.

I’m glad to see other women out there who are aware and curious to inform themselves of the different dangerous heresies and apostasies that is overwhelming the church today, and that you linked up to ‘modest mom’ so others learn about it as well. A good trustworthy web/blog with lots of resources about the emergent church movement and other sects is Appraising Ministries: http://apprising.org/. Check it out if you like! 🙂
