Modern or Post Modern?

[MeCajunboy]

Do you really understand what post modernist means? modern and post modern are of the world and are damaging to a Christians soul and connection with God. We are living in Post modern time, basically a politically correct time where everyone is equal and everyone is right, no one has all the answers and anyone who does have all the answers, ie Christians are seen as dangerous and deluded.

You can see how many individual churches and clergy have split away as they allow post modernist thinking to cloud their judgment, such as saying there is nothing wrong with homosexuality , denying supernatural events like virgin birth and resurrection took place and even pouring doubt on if there is a hell.

The only label we should be concerned with is wearing that of

A definition for modernism would be -

A set of standards that can be scientifically tested in some fashion that provide a way for a purer and more enlightened way of thinking. Within Christianity, things such as the miracles would be denied because they can't be scientifically tested or explained.

A definition for post-modernity is like trying to nail jello to the wall. It is near impossible because a definition would be a form of an absolute statement, which would contradict post-modernity's stance.

However, the idea is that there is no way to ultimately know all truth, and that most truth is discovered through the experiences we have at large, within our community, and as an individual.

Well Me cajundoy, I prefer Andrews definition of post modernism, to yours, becaues yours is only a copy and pasted definition that you posted from Wikipedia from google.

Postmodernism is an idea that has been extremely controversial and difficult to define among scholars, intellectuals, and historians, because the term implies to many that the modern historical period has passed. Nevertheless, most agree that postmodern ideas have influenced philosophy, art, critical theory, literature, architecture, design, marketing/business, interpretation of history, and culture since the late 20th century.

But thanks for the "basic training" effort anyway!

I daresay that Andrew was referring to the p/modernism that is raising it's heretical head in the church, not art or literature or architecture and so forth. No one can modernise or p/ modernise the word of God which has been unchangeable since the beginning of time.

Now I am not saying that the emergent church or the pdc are flagrantly altering the word of God, but they are diluting it to be more agreeable with that, which the present generation wish to hear. When Jesus said, for example.... *if you too, dont repent you will surely perish*, that's exactly what He meant. Now the likes of R Warren and his ilk are inclined to add an *if* or *but* or add or subtract something that would mislead the actual content of what Jesus really did say, and that seems to me the danger, that Andrew was referring to.

Then of course I could be wrong and if I am I'm sure I'll hear about it. Let us not forget the real purpose that Jesus came for. and it wasn't to clean up HIV in Africa....... even the atheists are involved in that cause and many other humanitrian projects.

have a nice day in our Saviour.
