What is the emergent church? what is good about it?

[Blik]

For the past 1900 years men and women, Believers and non Believers, have literally combed every passage known to the Canon and associated with the Canon. We've had multiple idealism's pertaining to every meaning and revelation. It is true, that once in awhile something like a word or two or maybe even a phrase can change in meaning, because those using the Septuagint are not aware that Greek sometimes did not have [exact] words for the Hebrew Letters/Characters when translating from the Hebrew Tanakh [why I use the Tanakh]. And it has caused some misinformation to be falsely preached/taught. But those are rarer these days.

But I am curious to know what your meaning is here to what I've quoted from your post?

What is possible that could be new that we today are understanding that even 1.500 years ago they missed?

I mean, from my own perspective and viewpoint, I have seen Paul's Letters being misused as a license to sin, but that's been an issue for the past 300 years. I've seen interpretations falsely claiming we are smaller (g)ods because we have the One True God living within us. I've seen people using gimmicks like crystals to claim prisms have something to do with God. And even today, we have Major Denominations [allowing] same sex Preachers/Teachers/Leaders within the Body of Christ. We have Universalism teaching the God is going to allow everyone, know matter if you DENY or ACCEPT God will be awarded Heaven after they die. We've even had Preachers claim that God put a RANSOM on them if a certain amount of cash flow was not reached. We have Seeker Friendly Churches that avoid the Condemnation of the Holy Spirit and allow their Congregation to be full blown sinners. We have Churches preaching Yeshua and Satan were Brothers. We have Churches preaching the Ark Angel Michael is the Messiah and true Savior of God. We have Churches that are clearly demonic oppressed full of the Kundalini spirit. We've basically seen it all. And that does not include the Abomination called the Catholic Church.

So please enlighten me here, what is possible that from the Apostles, to the Church Fathers, to Modern Day Believers, what have we missed that is NEW and Emerging?

I think that what was missed was the importance of the old testament to our understanding of the one true God. That understanding is important, and must be seen through the lens of the new covenant, not the old covenant.

I was fortunate in how I was raised. My Leadership within my Family, also was the same Leadership within the Church, held their positions to a very High Standard. I always heard they understood many sheep just take their word as Gospel because they don't read the Bible for themselves. Which to my Family, as Leaders, meant they knew God was holding them more accountable for what was preached and taught from the Pulpit. So, from a very young toddler and up, I was taught from the Tanakh, which has the Torah, and the KJV Bible. I knew from Cover to Cover that Yeshua was the God throughout the Bible that dealt with His own creation, mankind.

But as I grew older and eventually began living this life according to my own choices. I soon realized from visiting other Churches. Not many sheep had been taught this basic Bible Knowledge. They would immediately call me a liar and want me to debate their Pastor or those whom they deemed possessed Biblical Knowledge.

Now don't get me wrong here, I love the trinity, but there are so many Verses where those who were ignorant was pushing a trinity sighting and they were so far off the mark even hitting the broad side of a barn was impossible for them. They had the Father and Holy Spirit all over the Old Testament and only Yeshua in the New Covenant. These people are so confused it's like watching a dog running in circles trying to catch its own tail.

So according to your assessment concerning the Old Testament and its meanings relating to Christ and other Spiritual aspects, I absolutely agree with you!
