The Emerging Church, Doctrines of Demons and “Open Christianity”
Published March 27th, 2008 by Editor in Emerging Church, Postevangelicalism
Dr. Samir Selmanovic who serves on the Coordinating Group for Emergent Village contributes a chapter
called “The Sweet Problem of Inclusiveness: Finding Our God in the Other” in
An Emergent Manifesto of Hope a recent book edited
by Emergent anti-theologian Tony Jones
and his pastor Doug Pagitt
In a piece at Apprising Ministries Selmanovic gives further indication where we are headed with this inclusivism of the Emergent Church when he says:
For most critics of such open Christianity, the problem with inclusiveness is that it allows for truth to be found in other religions.
To emerging Christians, that problem is sweet…
Moreover, if non-Christians can know our God, then we want to benefit from their contribution to our faith. (196, emphasis mine)
Anyone who thinks that is what Jesus was crucified for doesn’t know Christ from Buddha.
