He believes in the authority and inerrancy of the Bible; the Emerging Church does not. He did receive criticism for that comment but explained in a followup paper the intent of the comment and that the paper was not intended for a general audience who might misinterpret the comment.<BR/><BR/>Moreland's position is that one can learn from observation of ants and nature, for example, in addition to the Bible. "The heavens declare the Glory of God". He, in no way dismisses anything in the Bible.<BR/><BR/>Do you find the concepts of "General" and "Special" revelation unbiblical? I am curious because I haven't heard this questioned before.<BR/><BR/>Moreland is part of the Vinyard Church, a spinoff of Calvary Chappel. They expect the Holy Spirit to show up in life on a regular basis. Even if one is a cessationist, I don't think the Vinyard Church deserves to be put into the same catagory as the Emerging Church or with the New Age movement.It's not about me.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01092111729237443289noreply@blogger.com
