mankind) apostate Roman Catholicism in the first place. In fact, this is really the exact same dead-end road that would end up producing centered on the self (i.e. The central issue with the Blackabys, and with men like Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster, is that their “experience” always ends up interpreting the Bible for them, which is absolutely backward-and sure to lead to spiritual disaster.
The implications, if taken and followed out seriously by anyone (-God forbid!), are absolutely catastrophic.
This chapter is just about the single most appalling trainwreck I’ve read in recent memory, whether viewed exegetically, hermeneutically, theologically, or pastorally. Note here also that Phillips is reviewing a chapter of the book How Then Should We Choose?, edited by Douglas S. Nor “is it about them as Christians or men.” With this out of the way, we turn to the very serious point of contention that must be addressed within the evangelical community now that it has also embraced the far worse so-called “Christian” mysticism of the extremely ecumenical Emerging Church, which has always been at its core. One of the goals of Emergent Church was to drag ascetic and pietistic “disciplines” back into the Protestant community. While some still dream that there’s some “ODM world,” the truth is I have no connection whatsoever to anyone at Pyro.įirst, just as Phillips, AM also wants you to know that what is written “ is not about the Blackabys, but about the view they advocate in this book” mentioned below. As an illustration we’ll consider Non Sola Scriptura: the Blackaby view of God’s will - 1 from Dan Phillips over at the fine online discernment and apologetics ministry blog Pyromaniacs.
We present the following here at Apprising Ministries as further example that, even within the more conservative mainstream of ostensibly Protestant evangelicalism, highly subjective “experience” is now beginning to trump the written text of the Bible.
