Change of Theological Definitions!
Dr. Mark Amstutz teaches a course at Wheaton
College entitled “Forgiveness and Reconciliation.” You think this is a
class about how believers are reconciled to God? Think again! It’s about
international and social reconciliation, the dispensing of justice, and
organizing humanitarian programs.
Amstutz writes: “As Christians, we are supposed to
go out and redeem the structures of society, but we need to watch that
we’re not corrupted by any institution or by the culture itself.” He
adds, our vibrant faith should be a check on the institutions, beliefs,
and practices of any society. Note that theology is out, i.e., what God
has done spiritually for mankind through the work of Christ on the
cross. Political and social reconciliation is in!
Amstutz is simply advocating liberalism.
Advocating social reconciliation is simply warmed over liberalism
re-packaged for our generation.
Secular Psychology clothed in the coat of Christianity
Wheaton College professors Drs. Richard Butman and
Barrett McRay have written a new book for once-conservative (but now
liberal) InterVarsity Press, entitled Modern Psychopathologies. The book
is billed as a resource for students and mental health professionals
that addresses contemporary secular understanding of psychopathology in
relation to a Christian worldview.
How can secular psychology that is evil to the
core have any relationship with biblical Christianity? But the two have
now wedded and formed a warped and twisted “emotional theology.”
Evangelical Historian goes to teach at Notre Dame?
How does this work? Dr. Mark Noll has been a
history professor at Wheaton College for twenty-seven years. He has now
gone to Notre Dame to teach. The head of the history department there,
Dr. John McGreevy, says Noll is a good historian because of his interest
in “global Christianity.”
How could Noll express with zeal his views about
the sins of Catholicism, the importance of the Reformation as it moved
away from the Catholic Church, and what is important today in true
biblical and spiritual Christianity, while he is now locked into a
premier Catholic establishment, and is on their payroll?
Something is wrong with this picture!
