So Josh had asked Jason if he could use his post from the previous blowout as a beginning for a new discussion.
here is his next installment.
After reading it all I can do is bang my head on the table. It seems like the ground keeps shifting away from what we're talking about. Josh seems to be unable to stay on point or avoid using fallacious reasoning and arguing out of both sides of his mouth. I dunno if I'm still banned, but my question would be, if he insists that he can be seeker sensitive without compromising the message, why is the message at both Living Hope and Emmaus where he served for ten years, including his own messages which I have listened to, already compromised? Sure, if you have the wrong message already, it's fine and dandy to say you won't compromise it. But you already have, Josh.
The same applies to Jim Johnson's church out in Camarillo, CA, 'sister' church (somehow?) to Living Hope in St Michael MN. The messages there are all pietistic legalism just like at Emmaus and Living Hope. HOW TO have a better life just follow these guidelines. HOW TO please the Lord by your works. They've got the cart before the horse in their message emphasis, and no amount of good quality music can redeem that.
