Men and women, I have been specifically trained in counter-cult apologetics and I get letters and comments like this every single day, and most particularly this is the identical reaction every time any of us dare touch their golden Buddha Rob Bell.

In fact Rob Bell himself has been quoted as saying of his critics:

"But I love everybody and you're next!" he says, giggling. "That's how I respond to criticism." <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Bell is and does the unexpected. Then again, he says, so does God.

Yes, Rob; He does. And I love my Lord and since He hates what you're doing, so I guess I'm next. You see, as a pastor-teacher Jesus tells me to Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. So it might just wipe that smirk off your face when I tell you that this is no game with me because here little rob says things here that should be shocking to anyone who cares for young people at all:

I believe that people have been missing the point of the bible and rob bell has brought it back in a new way. That new way is seeing scripture through jewish eyes. He is reinventing how to do church. Being a theology major, Rob bell has been a big inspiration on how to bring the text alive and get rid of a fundelmentalist (sic) view of the bible that causes hate in are world.

The Designs Of Neo-Liberal Cult Comes Emerging
Beloved, I ask you; can't you see Satan's hate for God's Word and the blatant attack on Reformed theology here? I tell you in the Lord that now is the time to put down silly differences over petty labels and hear what has just been said. Just look the influence of cult leaders like Brian McLaren and Rob Bell here: "people have been missing the point of the Bible." Yea, hath God said? The absolute first thing any cult leader does is to kick out the authority of the Bible. What do think you just read? "Rob Bell brought it back in a new way."

See the circular reasoning here. Says who? And the reply from someone caught in this cult will be to appeal to one of its leaders and say e.g. "Rob Bell has brought it back." All he's doing is repainting the neo-orthodox existential view of Scripture. But this will only lead right back down the same old broad road of liberalism to the Fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of man, and the neighborhood of "I pick and choose the parts of the Bible I happen to like." And even if I have to stand alone, I defy any of these leaders of the Emergent Church cult to pick up their Bibles and refute me.

Not that they will ever win that argument which is actually with the Lord and not me anyway, but they will also have to argue with Dr. Martin's work in Christ as well. Author of The Kingdom of the Cults, the classic book on cult apologetics, Martin also said on page 12 of his The Rise of the Cults:

A cult, then, is a group of people polarized around someone's interpretation of the Bible and is characterized by major deviations from orthodox Christianity relative to the cardinal doctrines of the Christian faith,

It should be obvious to anyone God has granted eyes to see that Rob Bell and Guru Brian McLaren and the Emergent Church fit the above definition perfectly. And forget the Emergent howls of their classic hue and cry: "But we're so divisive." Rubbish! Because before their was "diversity" there was a day when this Emergent rebellion first began. Consider this from Herescope:

Do not be deceived. The "emerging church" movement did not spontaneously erupt. It was a well-funded and well-organized movement from its very inception. It appears to have been fashioned by a handful of corporate business leaders who wished to create a counter-cultural evangelical movement. The intended purpose appears to have been identifying and recruiting potential young leaders for comprehensive indoctrination. One of the chief outcomes has been the further degradation and deconstruction of traditional Christianity.

If you really wish to understand how a young man like rob got twisted this way then you need to focus on the neo-orthodox (at best) view of Holy Scripture mostif not allof these new breed of so-called "Christian" mystics have. I tell you the absolute Truth, while on paper these vipers may give lip service to the authority of Scripture, they should know that they only fool themselves because the Lord knows that in practice it is not unlike the apostate Church of Rome: Experience=tradition; and spiritual experience=interpretation for these new Gnostics in The Ecumenical Church of Deceit.

Perhaps you think these words are too harsh. I wonder what would the average Christian today would have said to John the Baptist? Men and women, you should know that what I have just taught has already more then been backed up by numerous other fine ministers of the Gospel, though they would not choose to speak with this much vitriol. However, this is no concern of mine because I know Who sent me.

Also I am already on record e.g. Take Off The Gloves that there's no time left to play spiritual patty-cake while having pointless "conversation" with people who only reinterpret what is said. And not only that but they also deny that anyone can know with certainty what God has said in Scripture anyway. So why in the world are we wasting any more of the Master's time with such a fruitless tactic? I offer this as a plea for us to finally throw these unregenerate rebels and Spiritual Pedophiles out of God's House!
