Depending on your point of view that's either a biblical lifestyle of spiritual abuse. My blog <A HREF="http://church-discipline.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">church-discipline blog</A> is all about these issues.

I would like to think that the emerging church leans heavily on the entire Sermon of the Mount (the social justice/liberation side of the emerging church.)<BR/><BR/>Perhaps also some Psalms and verses of celebration and praise.Mike Clinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08968049104737268713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14736201.post-1122981859950866872005-08-02T07:24:00.000-04:002005-08-02T07:24:00.000-04:00Baptists like verses like Romans 8:35ff and the ha...Baptists like verses like Romans 8:35ff and the hand verse in John.

(2) Can the so-called "emergent church" be characterized by any particular text?<BR/><BR/>Perhaps Matt. 9:16-17 <BR/><BR/>"No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse. Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved." <BR/><BR/>(Only gender inclusive, of course)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10446605654747592907noreply@blogger.com
