Subject: post modernism in the churches thinking |
Bible Note: Dear Forum, The intent of my question was to try to stimulate some thinking regarding what is happening in the modern church. Moderism ia a concept that things are based upon what we can empirically verify. Post modernism seeks to deconstruct this. Such an attitude of modrenism exists in the medical sphere but their ethics is about post modernism. Mayor ethical decisions are starting to be made without any reference points at all. The church is backing away from the debate because the issuse are too big and hard for us to deal with. One of the reasons for such postion is that we will not become aquainted with the issues and frame strong biblcal responses. Most of the society see advances in science to be beyond their control. Let the experts deal with them. But as schaffer warned the more we hand over to the experts the more we quieten the truth. Are we as a church being tricked into silence be the confusion that a post modernism approach seeks to create. The result is that no voice will be heard for the right except in our own excluisive circles. I would welcome comments. Regards Aussis |
