I am disturbed by articles like this one. In light of this, I would like to present to you the officialCRN Method of Research:

When there is a shortage of juicy hit pieces, begin with step #1

  1. go to www.youtube.com
  2. seach for words like church, emergent, dance, elvis, crazy, funny, postmodern, young adult
  3. find a video from an event that you know nothing about that happened in a church that no one has heard of
  4. write a scathing headline like “I am sure that God is proud of this filth!”
  5. copy the URL to your piece and click “publish”


it’s as simple as that! You too can be the watchdoggie for every church in America!

It’s one thing to fight “heresy” in churches that are highly influential and affecting other communities of faith. It is another thing to become the theology/methodology patrol for every single church in the world. Ken Silva (who is the general editor for the editor, and thus responsible for all articles) has no idea what went on at this event, has no clue what was preached, or even what they believe. All he knows is that they had a funny opening at a young adults event. I am sure that Ken will give us some excuse about how God is pleased to have called him to police all of youtube now as well.

Edit:
Looks like the watchdoggie stormtroopers are starting to come out in the youtube comments. If you feel like leaving some encouragement please do so. -Tim Reed

Ken dug way back in his archives (10-26-06) to re-hash some more wannabe dirt on Rob Bell.  One needs to go no further than the first few lines of his rusty hit piece to see his agenda and fleeting intelligence.  He starts with a quote from Velvet Elvis

‘Humans are guilty because of our sin, and God is the judge who has to deal with our sin because he is holy and and any act of sin goes against his core nature. He has to deal with it. Enter Jesus, who dies on the cross in our place. Jesus gets what we deserve; we get what Jesus deserved (107).’

Not exactly Rob. Jesus is God Himself and He doesn’t “deserve,” or need to earn, nor be given anything. That aside, here Bell is speaking of “humans,” mankind in general.

Um… is this really that hard?  Jesus deserved to return to heaven and be with the father, we deserved death and punishment for sins.  So, we get heaven, and Jesus received death and punishment for our sins.  No where did Rob say that Jesus needed to earn or be given anything.  And is he really attempting to use the “mankind in general” to prove Bell is a Universalist?  This isn’t rocket science people.  Hey Ken, don’t look now, but your agenda is showing.
