the difference between “postmodernist” deconstructionism and the Emerging Church deconstructionism…

I think some are missing the difference between “postmodernist” deconstructionism and the ec deconstructionism…

In a way that you might understand it, it is the difference for us as when Luther deconstructed ” For it is by grace you have been saved, through penance” which was the Latin translation and what was taught by the Roman Catholic Church…

Luther deconstructed the verse and found in the Greek it was
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith”

Thus we had the reformation.

We are not deconstructing to make it whatever we want to believe… that is a great misunderstanding of how the tool of deconstruction is actually being used.

We are looking at our faith and trying to return to it’s essence and true Spirit… we see that like the misunderstanding of the Latin that Luther pointed out there are other areas like that we have accepted into our faith that has corrupted it from the truth of scripture and the ministry of Jesus.

One person pointed out that the 1st reformation gave us the Bible…
and this being a sort of reformation is not giving us back Jesus or the High Christology we have lost through the influence of modernism…

Again, not all modernism is evil if the tools are used properly… that reasoning can be carried into how we use the tools of postmodernism as we REACH OUT to the culture around us.

What we see you doing is akin to the RCC did to Luther… try to defend the traditions and disregard we need to continually seek to be a loyal to the truth of Scripture as we can.
