I am ashamed as I supported the original paperback and gave one to everyone I knew many years ago. For that I am deeply sorry! I knew that family intimately in the 70's ... And I'm certain many folks are surprised by this turn of events. Paul has been deeply affected by the tragedies of the past. But so have many of us. To truly submit to God is to be really free. His sacrifice of love was for me! And you! I hope you will review the last book "lies" for those that may get caught in the current of the "marshmallow God " that mr. Young is manipulating. Let us pray for him every day. He is under a great judgment sadly...

I included an except of your review. http://wp.me/p5mKzs-nmAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04795026101197459900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-58010365716979212562015-08-26T11:54:33.710-04:002015-08-26T11:54:33.710-04:00I had another thought to follow up. Brian MacLaren...I had another thought to follow up. Brian MacLaren also makes a BIG deal of flaunting his super duper piety by questioning everything and saying we can't know for sure. I grabbed one of his 'a new kind of christianity' books in 2010 or 2011 and am content knowing that's one less that got into the hands of the people at the Episcopal church I happened to be inside (there was an unrelated event going on that had rented the space, I think).<br /><br />For me, it's incredibly insulting when someone else says, "I'm so ignorant, and therefore you have to be ignorant, too, and can't know anything, either!" Uh, no. You can be ignorant in your false piety but I actually do know a few things and your hasty generalization fallacy does nothing to change the truth.<br /><br />A show of piety should be a dead giveaway of falsehood. I've seen it in Greek Orthodox, I've seen it in Catholics, I've seen it in Hindus, and I've seen it in atheists. It ironically seems to be less pervasive among Jews (I suppose that's because whether they're orthodox or godless, they generally don't seem to care and prefer to keep their beliefs to themselves, rather than tell others what they think about them), but that's likely a statistical anomaly. There's not quite as many Jews as there are the other groups, after all.<br /><br />Promoting one's own piety/humility/ignorance is actually pride. Define pride as denying the truth about who you are. It generally takes the form of "I think more highly of myself than I ought," which is a lie, and thus profanes God, who is Truth. But some people try to get around that by making a big deal about how lowly they are. In reality, it's just another form of thinking highly of oneself, because they've decided that it's virtuous to be lowly, so they "think more lowly of oneself, so that they can think more highly of themselves for thinking more lowly of themselves than they ought." And cancel the similar units, and you're back to plain old pride. Congratulating oneself on one's virtue based on lying about and denying what is really true about your character.<br /><br />The falsely pious make a big deal of their own ignorance, thereby denying their own ability to know the truth; denying that they're smart enough to know better; hoping to avoid the charge of being without excuse. But their facade will fail.A<br /><br />Because "their folly will be made known to everyone," which I suppose is either all the discerning saints, now, or everyone ever, at the Judgment.Hakam Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114741274619345717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-71664995926623911752015-08-20T10:39:07.903-04:002015-08-20T10:39:07.903-04:00What a comprehensive, insightful,and true article ...What a comprehensive, insightful,and true article written about this book, Eve, and about its author.

It might seem pious to wonder about why it all went wrong for 40 years, but it actually betrays the heart of an unregenerate person."<br /><br />If the Holy Spirit will guide us in all truth, to claim that one is regenerated by the Holy Spirit and then not come to the knowledge of the truth for years and years is to declare that God is impotent/incompetent to ensure the proper education of His children.<br /><br />Since God certainly is by no means incompetent, to declare lifelong ignorance in the same breath as professing faith, is to do no more than to declare oneself to be a false convert, to proclaim that one lacks the illumination of the Holy Spirit, because one lacks the Holy Spirit.<br /><br />My sentence structure drifted toward the 1800s the more I kept writing, there. :DHakam Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114741274619345717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-49866651053651015442015-08-19T15:36:31.460-04:002015-08-19T15:36:31.460-04:00Most frustrating to me, with all the hoopla in ima...Most frustrating to me, with all the hoopla in image-media about lions supposedly being these great graceful beings that often are intended to represent God himself, is that it is SIN and SATAN that are referred to as a "roaring lion, prowling around and seeking whom he may devour," and "crouching at the door, desiring to have you."<br /><br />Not God. Sure, Christ is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. But Facebook images seem to implicate that every time you see a lion, you're supposed to think "oh that's representing God." Nuh-uh. <br /><br />When anything is presented indiscriminately in such a fashion, I agree that that strikes me as creepy.Hakam Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114741274619345717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-20442955846764744172015-08-19T05:23:22.108-04:002015-08-19T05:23:22.108-04:00Interesting!

In Beth Moore's case she said she felt a force unparalleled take over and physically wrote it for her. The body is the actual channel through wiich the demon complets his work.<br /><br />As for television, Jerry Mander (his real name) wrote a very interesting book called "Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television".

But the lion was eye-to-eye with a woman in a wedding dress, the woman casting an adoring look at the lion. Of course you can guess that the imagery was to portray King Jesus with his bride--us.<br /><br />But instead of coming across as a bold and beautiful metaphor of how much Jesus loves His church, i found it creepy. Someone even took the time to explain the metaphor to me. I replied that I still found it creepy,<br /><br />Sometimes, art happens.

When you boil it all down, sinners do not want to submit to God. Sinners want to be in control, not have God in control. That is exactly what Young is doing with this book. Trying to find an alternative explanation for things instead of submitting, because HE wants to be the master of his reality.<br /><br />Excellent analysis. I heartily agree with everything you have said here. Thanks.<br /><br />Jennifer<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
