The "Letter"

I would love for someone to write a letter like this,


Dear Emergent Pastor,

You have been my pastor now for three years and I have gained much from you. However, I recently found out that I am made right with God through what Jesus did on the cross for me. But you said it was for social justice and also Israel. Why didn't you tell me the truth? I found out that I don't have to do all the good works you taught to be right with God; that they should flow naturally after conversion. Why didn't you tell me that? In fact, why didn't you teach me the Bible the way it was written instead of bringing in your postmodern philosophical spin onto it. I just don't get it. Why would you hide such a wonderful gospel from me. And, from the others in the church? Why would you change it so drastically.
Thankfuly, I recently met someone who finally told me the real gospel. But what I really don't get is knowing that you heard the true gospel in your church while you were growing up. So, why in the world wouldn't you tell US? I mean, even if you presented both "gospels," that would be better than hiding the one from us. So, with great respect, I am withdrawing my membership from your church and going to a real one.

Yours truly,

Your emergent church member (former)
