The postmodernism of the Emergent Church is back. People like @kkdumez are leading the charge, and not being forthcoming about it. Ive done a thread on this before, it may be time for another thread soon.
But for now, look at the the Author @kkdumez is praising here:

That author is Brian Mclaren, who was the most popular figure in the emergent church. He agreed with and spread postmodernism and postmodern thinkers and books. Here, he wrote the forward to a book called "What Would Jesus Deconstruct"

If you doubt it's postmodernism:
Pic 1 is a description of "What Would Jesus Deconstruct", which says the book is postmodernism top to bottom.
Pic 2 is Brian Mclaren's book "Church on the other side: Ministry in the Postmodern Matrix," which is even more postmodernism.

This isn't guilt by association. In pics 1 and 2 @KKdumez explicitly says she's using deconstruction, and wants the deconstruction to go deep.
In pic 3, from the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, we see deconstruction is a postmodern method developed by Jacques Derrida

These people will tell you to your face that postmodernism is nothing to worry about, that it is a bogey man invented by fundamentalists to scare you. Then they turn around and use postmodern methods and praise postmodern authors.
This is complete dishonesty.

There isn't time for a full thread here, but the people claiming postmodernism is not a threat are not being straight with evangelicals, and many of them work in evangelical institutions and seminaries.
And they just lie about what they believe.

If they want to be postmodern they can do that, all I ask is that they tell me the truth about what they believe. I do not think that is asking too much.
