00:00The biggest mistake that churches make is we think that sermons will produce spiritual

00:29maturity.

00:30Now from way back when, our ancestors understood that there's something divine about our breath.

00:52Are you suggesting to me that heaven is actually a place?

00:55The place of God is an individual place that you go?

01:06God is not a provable commodity.

01:08All the evidence in the world does not prove God.

01:15Now I believe that everyone who deserves to be saved will be saved no matter where they

01:25are or what they do.

01:26I believe that everyone who deserves to be saved will be saved no matter where they are

01:27or what they do.

01:55The emergent church, a loosely connected group of Christian churches rebelling against the

02:12cultural war going on in this country when it comes to religion.

02:20I just don't believe in Christianity anymore.

02:23In a sense, you're creating a Christian message that's warm, kind, and popular.

02:28That rejection of the judgmental God and an embrace of an image of a loving, accepting

02:34God.

02:35The cross isn't the center then.

02:36The cross is almost a distraction and false advertising for God.

02:41So here comes Rob Bell, he's made a Christian gospel for you and it's perfectly palatable,

02:46it's much easier to swallow.

02:47That's what you've done, haven't you?

02:48Our purpose is to bring heaven to earth.

02:55With Bono, here's a guy who is a rock singer who has done more to articulate what Christianity

03:01is really about than most of we preachers.

03:03We're looking for some kind of a new moral center.

03:06The person who's done more than anybody to promote these is Bono.

03:09Gosh, if the churches won't get involved, the rock stars will have to cry out.

03:14And so Bono, you know, raise up Bono.

03:17You're leaving out the tough stuff.

03:19You do have to, you know, confine yourself to certain moral strictures if you want to

03:24call yourself a Christian.

03:27I would disagree with them.

03:29According to this critic, unbiblical and historically unreliable.

03:34That's true, isn't it?

03:35I am a gay affirming pastor, which means I don't see it as a sin.

03:43The church is a whore.

03:46And she's my mother.

03:47We're a preacher in Michigan who says there's really no hell.

03:51I believe the man is a false teacher.

03:54I believe he's a heretic.

03:56There's power in listening to the heretic.

03:59And today I actually think that we need to listen to a few heretics.
