I'm a little confused at the moment.

I was thinking today.

You know how everyone knows the example that if you throw a frog in a pot of boiling water, it'll jump out immediately, but if you had the frog in cool water and slowly begin to heat it up, it would eventually die. I started to think about that story and the state of christianity today.

What if....and this is saying what if, we were slowly being boiled and we don't even know about it? What if we were slowly changing the Bible ever so slightly that the true meaning, the original meaning of what God wanted us to hear is totally gone?? For example, "The Message"....I'm not saying that "The Message" is wrong or anything, but I've read some things that don't really make sense. The Message seems to take the language of a modern world, but in some instances, it is making it seem "nicer" than it seems...more appealing to the modern person?? Couldn't some of the paraphrasing be misinterpreted?? and what if someone takes that version and paraphrases it again...would some of the meaning be lost?? Maybe I'm just not that great with my english to fully comprehend the context of some of the words.

Some things that also creates an urk inside me is the emergent church. It kind of seems like they are more of a "new age" kind of church with the chanting and all that. Also with the relaxed church services, where people sit at tables and drink coffee. Services they say that are "seeker sensitive", but isn't that just masking christianity. How sensitive should we be before we go too far.

Because of this, are we raising a generation of people that know very little about the Bible and the truths?

You know the Bible says that there will be false prophets, but when we say false prophets, we usually think of someone to totally goes against the teachings of Jesus, but what if these prophets are people that misinterpret, guide people to what they think are the teachings of Jesus???

Am I becoming like the generation before me??? Where they think that something like the drums has no place in the church?? Is this stuff the new wave of christianity???
