The Emergent Church - what is it?

Could you give us this in a nut-shell, because I don't have an hour and 40 min to watch a video.

Watch it double speed, or just skip it. There is too much in this one video to summarize simply and do it justice.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin - Emergent Church: see https://youtu.be/f6U-HFztQkE

Very interesting videos.

The emergent church isn't just "out there" somewhere. It is shaping the whole paradigm of religious thought.

Videos? Is there more than one? Yes, it is everywhere and who is behind it? This video makes the connections, and most Adventists are asleep to what is going on.

Ok so I watched the first 20-30 min of the video; nothing earth shaking there. Hopefully I can find time to watch more.

However, he does state that the RCC confess they took the wrong tack in the early Reformation days; they tried to fight Protestants. Now they are going to switch tactics. They are going to pray with Protestants.

So we've gone from fighting to praying.

And that's bad...How??

Yes, the Vatican was very zealous in fighting Protestantism when Protestantism was exposing her false doctrines and her usurpations of Christ's prerogatives.
The Vatican's authority to physically and actively persecute through state powers was removed about 220 years ago, and a freedom of religion unprecedented has been enjoyed.

But the Vatican has not changed her doctrines or her bid for full authority as the "mother church", she still holds that she is the only REAL church. Just check out Pope Benedicts proclamations on that subject, which he wrote while head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, June 30, 2000. It threw the Protestants into a bit of consternation for a month or two, but it didn't seem to dampen their eagerness to reconnect with Rome in ecumenical unity.

No, the papacy no longer fights them with swords, he doesn't have to, now we see the message from the papacy is one of seducing the protestants to return to "the true fold", have "Christian unity" and stop the rebellion against papal rule, looking to the "father" as their leader. Pope Francis interprets Malachi 4, the Protestants hearts turn back to the "father". Of course this means Protestants give up all that prophecy, that points out Rome's real ambitions. Protestantism is the one that changed and given up her protest --The pope is praying that Protestants give it up completely and once again come under papal authority-- once American Protestants fully do that -- it's the end of religious freedom (the bastion of religious freedom will be conquered by the Vatican) -- and we are getting closer to that event.

The papacy has not changed.
Protestants will realize only when it's too late what the true motives of the papacy are.

I must be a prophet. Well, kind of. They're mixing atheism with spiritualism.
