DOWN WITH SOLA SCRIPTURA!
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves…always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth. (2 Timothy 3:1-2,7)
Phyllis Tickle Scratches Itching Ears With Her Bedtime Story Of “The Great Emergence”
In her post The Great Emergence Event will Tickle Ears our friend Carla over at More Books and Things tells us a bit about the Empress of Emergence Phyllis Tickle, fresh from her teaching at the Mars Hill Bible Church of Rob Bell, and her October event where she’ll be conducting story-time:
The book is called Great Emergence, The: How Christianity Is Changing and Why by Phyllis Tickle. The big event (thegreatemergence.com/TheEvent) is called The Great Emergence, a one day conference that will take place in Winnipeg on October 31 (Halloween). It’s being promoted as…
A BOOK… AN EVENT… A PHENOMENON…
The event consists of four main sessions with author/speaker Phyllis Tickle. In between these sessions, participants will also do the daily office (three daily times of scheduled prayer) based on a bestselling book called The Divine Hours (also by Phyllis Tickle). (Online source)
Some familiar with Apprising Ministries know that my late mother was from Sydney, Nova Scotia so Canada has always held a special place in my heart. Previously in Phyllis Tickle And The Emerging Church: It’s Not If Sola Scriptura Ends But When AM brought you an eyewitness report of the first Great Emergence Event, which was held last December and put on by Jopa Productions. The quote by Tickle contained in the title of my post denigrating the Word of God reveals that this is not a move of God at all.
For those who don’t know the Jo(nes)Pa(gitt) company specializing in “innovative learning events & social media consulting” is actually Tony Jones, theologian in the Emerging Church aka Emergent Church—now morphing into Emergence Christianity (EC)—along with his quasi-universalist pastor Doug Pagitt. They’re also the dubious duo behind the upcoming EC gathering called Christianity 21, which you can find out more about in Christianity 21: Emerging Voices Of A Pseudo-Christian Faith.
OK, Something called Emerging Spirit from the United Church of Canada carries an recent interview with Phyllis Tickle where we’re told:
Declining church membership, the breaking down of denominational loyalty and barriers, the rise of new “emergent” churches that blend ancient rituals, litanies and hymns together with contemporary forms of worship and calls for social action–something is happening out there. But what is it? And why is it happening now?
What’s happening is as old as religion itself, says Phyllis Tickle, author of the book The Great Emergence: How Christianity is Changing and Why. Tickle, who will be speaking at The Great Emergence, a one-day conference in Winnipeg on October 31, 2009, explored the link between the church’s history of change and the new face of the church today in an interview with Winnipeg freelance writer John Longhurst. (Online source)
Tickle told the truth there; this Emergence de-formation aka apostasy is indeed “as old as religion itself.” Tickle also further scratches itching emerging ears as she muses:
Evangelicalism has lost much of its credibility and much of its spiritual energy of late, in much the same way that mainline Protestantism has. In their place is a new approach called the Emergent Church. This is a new gathering of believers that is not based on traditional denominations, creeds or beliefs. (Online source)
Trickles of truth again; much of evangelicalism has lost their First Love and is now as apostate as Roman Catholicism, but this “new approach” of the EC is really as old as Genesis 3 where their father mocked: Indeed, has God said? The wise person will recognize dreamers and false prophets like Phyllis Tickle for who they really are — having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people (2 Timothy 3:5).

At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision. (Daniel 9:23)
Is there any limitation in the Spirit of God? Why should not the feeblest minister become the means of salvation to thousands? Is God’s arm shortened? When I bid you pray that God would make the ministry quick and powerful, like a two-edged sword, for the salvation of sinners, I am not setting you a hard, much less an impossible, task.
We have but to ask and to get. Before we call, God will answer; and while we are yet speaking, he will hear. God alone can know what may come of this sermon, if he chooses to bless it. From this moment you may pray more, from this moment God may bless the ministry more. From this hour other pulpits may become more full of life and vigor than before. From this moment the Word of God may flow and run and rush and get to itself an amazing and boundless victory.
Only wrestle in prayer, meet together in your houses, go to your closets, be instant, be earnest in season and out of season, agonize for ouls, and all that you have heard shall be forgotten in what you shall see, and all that others have told you shall be as nothing compared with what you shall hear with your ears and behold with your eyes in your own minds. (Charles Spurgeon, At the Master’s Feet, July 4)
Mark Shea and the Desperate Defense of Marian Mythology

by James White
I just received my set of Mark Shea’s three volume set, Mary, Mother of the Son. I began looking through it a bit Tuesday evening, and noticed no personal references in the indexes. But, as I looked at his attempt to force Revelation 12 into one of the few supports for the edifice of Marian theology I noted that either his publisher did not include footnote references in the index, or, they just didn’t want to include my name. In any case, ironically, yesterday morning I was sent this from Shea’s blog:
I’m happy to report that I have not yet seen a single negative review! Catholic response has been uniformly thumbs up, which makes Papa proud of his baby. (Of course, there will *be* negative reviews from guys like James White, Eric Svendsen, James Swan and the other nattering nabobs of anti-Catholicism, whose *job* is to give a negative review to stuff like this.) But once you get away from the anti-Catholic fever swamps, I will be interested to see how the book fares in place like Christianity Today, where you have honest Evangelicals who are serious about trying to engage Catholics, well, honestly.
