There are those that would gloss over the contradictions or ignore them in any given discussion. Here they are… visibly. Enjoy because there is no way to explain all these in one conversation.

I appreciate your thoughts. You are right–the utilitarian, “ends justifies the means” approach does not always work.

]]> Comment on Bar Church by Paul Smith http://docshawn.com/2013/03/08/bar-church/#comment-1512 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 00:06:29 +0000 http://docshawn.com/?p=4345#comment-1512 Dr. Anderson, I address the “motive” issue here.http://instrument-rated-theology.com/2013/03/08/lowering-the-church-bar-and-moving-worship-to-a-bar/ Lost in all the conversation about “reaching the lost” is the reason we are called to reach out to a lost world. Obviously I disapprove of the “the end justifies the means” kind of thinking that this congregation is employing.

Why, if these types of establishments existed during Jesus’ life, (and they most certainly did) did he not embrace them, and teach his disciples to embrace them? Jesus clearly met with and conversed with many types of individuals during his life – but he never placed himself in an intentionally compromising situation. How can we move people toward a life of holiness and sanctification if we teach them that their behavior is perfectly acceptable?

Just my 2 cents worth of contribution to the conversation.
