I totally agree about the way that biblical urban myths morph into Christian orthodoxy. My mother still believes the camel thing. I do think there are insights, fresh even, that can help us make Jesus’ message live. Glen Stassen’s 14 triads insight I feel is one example (http://www.fullerseminary.net/sot/faculty/stassen/14Triads.htm).
I am also a fan of Wink’s work on the “cheek, etc.” passage(s) (http://www.spiritualityhealth.com/newsh/items/article/item_9283.html).

By the way, I removed the comment not because I mind being reprimanded but because I don’t want the person mentioned. My original comments were vague enough that I didn’t think it would tip anyone off. It’s not about him — a person whose faith, passion, and on-target teaching about discipleship I greatly value.

Please feel free to post the same thing without the name.

Mike,

Are you and Wade sure that guys’s insights are not accurate? Are you talking about RB from MHBC? When is it wrong to try and cast the “story” in the “science”?

Love you brother.

Oooh! I WAS taught how to spell, though! The nuns would be SO disappointed!

Sorry - I didn’t mean to perpetuate anything here! I’m just a relative newbie to the Christian/CofC world as I was raised Catholic. Which is also why I get a little nervous about people who might be passing info. that is NOT Biblical as scripture. I cannot tell you how many things I was taught in Catholic scholl that I thought were in the Bible, but weren’t, so sorry if I get a little jumpy.

Walter,
Good call. I would suggest that most of the STUFF YOU’VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE comes from Ray Vander Laan. I don’t think he’s a member there. In fact, I think he’s on staff somewhere else. But I think he’s kind of Rob’s mentor.

Forget the DaVinci Code - this is great stuff on our “Mystery Preacher”.

Speaking of inaccuracies by preachers, I sure hope the tale about the finest coffee in the world is false. I actually heard this: there is a rare type of bean that travels through a worm’s digestive tract…I’ll say no more. But somehow this related to the gospel.

Figure that code!

Yeah - I figured out through the clues that it’s the guy I was thinking of. I’m still wondering if anyone knows of a resource where I can look up Christian books & DVD’s & check them for authenticity. Does one exist? I’d like to buy this guy’s DVD’s to show our teens, but I don’t want to present false info. But maybe this is covered under Paul’s “As long as Christ is preached” speech? Help!

I am a self confessed big time fan of the “mystery” preacher we are all talking about. Yes, go ahead and get those DVD’s - they are awesome. I have used all of them up to this point in some form of teaching.

And the concepts in the book with the “white cover” are awesome too.

But I will be more of a critical listener and reader from now on. But really, who do you hear and read that you don’t filter at some level? I love McLaren and he makes me a better believer but I don’t “buy” everything he says as true. I hate to openly admit this here but I love listening to Paula White preach because she inspires me with scripture, but I certainly don’t agree with everything she preaches.
As for Elvis’ buddy from Chicago I buy most of what he teaches because he draws me to Jesus and the cross, not to himself.
