A Paucity of Sound Teaching in America Today
Published April 1st, 2007 by Dwayna in Christian Authenticity, Christian Worship, Contemplative Spirituality, Emerging Church, False Teaching, Feminism in the ChurchWould anyone like to know what trouble I am having finding a good church in Manhattan? I have documented the latest in the saga today on my blog. It was my worst experience yet here in a church parlor where “Christian” books are supposedly sold, and this came from a church with a reputation for being the most “sound” church in Manhattan, a very large reformed PCA Presbyterian Church.
I don’t know what grieves me the most as I write about this today–the fact that I found such error there on the book table this morning after the service or the fact that I was not even surprised.
They were selling a biography of Julian of Norwich. And who was Julian of Norwich? She was a pantheist and revered goddess-worshiping ”mystic” by the feminists. To give you a taste of her beliefs here is a quote from her:
“Jesus Christ, who does well against evil, is our very mother.”
I can thank the feminists over at Christians for Biblical Equality for that quote, which they feature with praise from Caroline W. Bynum’s book Jesus as Mother, Studies in the Spirituality of the Middle Ages, p. 131. Ruth Tucker, a leading teacher over at CBE used this quote to try to convince us that it is biblical to call God “mother.” (See my fact sheet posted on the articles page of the Lighting The Way web site for more information, subtitled the “Jesus of CBE” in the article “CBE’s Mother god”).
By the way, last week I got in some more study materials on this group from books by CBE authors. As the research continues, I am aghast by my latest find of a compilation of ”inclusive hymns” by Jann Aldredge-Clanton, a featured author with CBE. I just ordered a copy to further expose the spirit of these “Christian” women. Page 102 is sure to be a favorite of the CBE women, as well as the witches. It is entitled “Oh Mother Rock Who Bore Us.”
