Will you bow the knee?

re: McLaren, et al, emerging church manipulation and deceptions
quote from recent article: herescope
"Be prepared for a total makeover of Christianity in Brian McLaren's most recent book, Everything Must Change. He calls it a DeepShift. And be cautioned: if you embark upon any criticisms of this book, you have already been caricatured, castigated, ridiculed and mocked. You are part of a bad old "suicide machine" metaphor that is destroying planetary peace, damaging the earth's ecosystem, creating "global dysfunctions" and contributing to "systemic injustice" (p. 34) -- all caused by your dangerously antiquated "conventional" theological "framing story." You are likely to be "tense, judgmental, imbalanced, reactionary, negative, and hypocritical." (p. 33) You are part of a failed religion "that has specialized in people's destination in the afterlife but has failed to address significant social injustices in this life." You have also neglected to "address the dominant societal and global realities" of "systemic injustice, systemic poverty, systemic ecological crisis," etc. (p. 33)"
-------------------------------------------
As the delusion grows stronger, the 'forces at play' will be and are now turning up the pressure for compliance. If you will resist expect to be castigated, as seen in the above quote. But, as these resist the truth, so too stand strong and resist these "men of corrupt minds, and reprobate concerning the faith", and their malicious rhetoric. They shall not succeed. The Lord shall soon take up the controversy with them himself.
Bow not the knee!
Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was. (2 Tim. 3:8-9)
