No, it does not. It teaches something different, namely that the Church is a family, a Body, a community, an organism and a Bride.<br /><br />These teachings/models above are "unbiblical" because they contradict the Biblical model of Church as a Family and Community and Organism.Keith Gileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328300571647154699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9926207.post-31472048597377736042009-08-02T11:34:44.016-07:002009-08-02T11:34:44.016-07:00Keith,
Some thoughts on this post:
Lately I'...Keith,<br /><br />Some thoughts on this post:<br /><br />Lately I've been reading some of the anti-emergent blogs on the web. What they always harp on is all the practices that are unbiblical that they see in the emergent church such as lectio divina, meditation, prayer labrinths and so on. They say they are unbiblical because those practices aren't exactly spelled out or prescribed in the Bible. So in other words if it is not spelled on in the Bible then it is unbiblical. But in my opinion it has to be contrary to the teachings of the Bible to be unbiblical. The latter gives a lot more freedom than the former. What definition are you using for unbiblical in this post?<br /><br />peace,<br />kevin <br />mt. vernon ohAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9926207.post-44844537144972660342009-07-25T15:45:32.894-07:002009-07-25T15:45:32.894-07:00I was sharing this article with my wife and when w...I was sharing this article with my wife and when we were discussing the "Harvard Model," she said, "So would that mean that the tithe everyone is encouraged to give would actually be your tution fee."<br /><br />I appreciate all your thoughts on the Church, it's the "stuff" you don't hear in church.<br /><br />BillyBillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00792733494900656285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9926207.post-89701950808504735582009-07-24T16:45:12.015-07:002009-07-24T16:45:12.015-07:00Great stuff again Keith.

I know examples of each of these models and unfortunately, belonged to some of them. <br /><br />Perhaps, the "church" has gone underground (ie; the title of this blogspot)and we are in the midst of a third reformation.<br /><br />Peace <br /><br />MikeMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04148200931578403227noreply@blogger.com
