If you have an opinion, your a LEGALIST!

I am sick and tired of being called Pharisaical or that I am legalistic every time a make a statement about a “emergent’ type ministry!

This all started when Way of the Master Radio (WOTM) spoke about an ad made by xxxchurch.com. In the ad, there is a puppet named Pete the Porno Puppet and his friend is Ron Jeremy, a porn legend who sees nothing wrong with porn. The 30 second spot includes the puppet saying the word pornography in a mocking tone a few times as well as guest Jeremy saying that porn is consenting adults having consenting sex for consenting adults to watch. Needless to say, WOTM did not agree with their methods or the message. xxxchurch (X3) posted a fairly grumpy blog about WOTM and how they didn’t care what people thought but decided it was wise to publish the ministries phone number and email for hate mail. I found it amusing that they said that they would not bash wotm but they said the host had no courage.

I love X3’s accountability software called x3watch but I don’t agree with their methods such as Pete or Wally the Wiener (a huge blow up penis). As usual with any other fairly emergent ministry, as soon as someone posted a comment to their blog x3 was more than ready to say that Jesus was cutting edge and if you disagree with them you are being legalistic (interesting how they can never be in the wrong).

If you say that a huge blow up penis is a little much for a Christian ministry they are quick to bring up Jesus overturning tables but if you think that street preaching is good they will tell you that you are being too in your face…. since when did a 15 foot penis become a every day occurrence??

I am not saying that nothing X3 does is ever right nor am I say that wotm is perfect (blog on them coming soon) but isn’t it possible for two ministries to disagree without one being told they are legalistic. If x3 stands behind their tools that’s fine but why all the nasty comments?

I would love to hear your thought on either ministry or their tools as well as the fact opinions no longer seem to be allowed without someone being legalistic.

God bless,
Anthony
