The Supremacy of Christ

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. And He is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything He might be preeminent. For in Him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of His cross.
(Colossians 1:15-20 ESV)

The Emergent Church

Rob Bell/Nooma Expose




Parody of Emergent Guru Rob Bell's Nooma video entitled Bull Horn Guy.



McLaren's Attack Against the Doctrines of Hell and the Substitionary Atonement



("God wouldn't ask us to do something that He was incapable of doing" -- where in the Bible does it say that? There's one huge missing rationale that's missing here: God is God and we are not. We are not Holy as He is and thus we have no capacity to understand that He simply cannot "let things go," thus the necessity of the plan of salvation through the cross of Jesus Christ.

This is a good critique and response to the doctrines of Rob Bell, specifically to his book called Velvet Elvis, in which Bell describes the Christian faith as continually changing and growing. The critique is written by a layman named Mark Sohmer who attends a Bible-believing church and who seeks to grow in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. http://www.sohmer.net/Velvet_Elvis.pdf
