"Be not afraid or dismayed by reason of this great multitude for the battle is not yours but God's" (2nd Chronicles 20v15)
One of the enclosures with our March 2007 newsletter
related to ‘2 matters for prayerful and practical consideration’. Thanks
to the generous response of God’s people, in relation to one matter mentioned I
was able to purchase a laptop computer and the PowerPoint programme. Over the
summer months I have been trying to get to grips with this new technology – I
wouldn’t claim to have fully ‘cracked it’ but I have been able to put together
a number of presentations on current issues [such as Scientology, and Islam]
and already a number of churches/fellowships have made arrangements for me to
come to make these presentations. I am truly grateful to all who contributed
and am also grateful to the Lord for opening up these opportunities to utilise
these gifts for the sake of His truth. The second matter related to a possible
ministry trip to

‘The Labyrinth Experience’ in
When Pastor Gary Gilley was our
guest here in March 2006 to address a number of issues, including what has come
to be known as ‘The Emerging Church’; he highlighted how in many
instances churches and fellowships are now ‘supplementing’ or in some cases
virtually ‘replacing’ the reading and preaching of the Word of God with more
visual, sensory-based experiences designed to somehow induce an almost mystical
‘experience’ of ‘God’.
In recent times a couple of
Methodist Churches in
Having spoken to one very sincere Christian lady who is known personally to me and who went through this ‘experience’ she stated that she found it, as a ‘primer for prayer’, to be a stimulating experience. She felt too that those presenting the ‘experience’ genuinely wanted to somehow attract people who might otherwise not darken the door of a church. In these days of falling church attendances I can fully understand their motivation.
The question is – is this the
right ‘way’ to address this problem? A very helpful ‘warning’ ministry
is called ‘Let Us Reason’ and I want now to quote extracts from
one of the articles on their website that was written by their Director, Mike
Oppenheimer. I have also supplied the website link should you wish to read the
entire article.
Extracts
from article by Mike Oppenheimer on http://www.letusreason.org/Nam30.htm
Walking
the labyrinth has become a popular spiritual exercise across the country and
around the world. I first read of it in Leadership Magazine, a Christian
publication and became a bit concerned - since looking into it further I’m
definitely concerned.
Labyrinths
are said to have been used for over 3000-3500 years (depending who you ask),
accurate dating has been difficult. We are told by those who promote their use
that Labyrinths are ancient and have been a part of the sacred landscape
through human history. Those who use the labyrinth describe them as a pattern
with power and a purpose. They are called “divine imprints,” that symbolize an
archetype of wholeness. The Labyrinth is said to encourage healing, clarity,
and peacefulness. There are claims of profound experiences as they affect the
people who use them by connecting them with the deepest part of themselves.
Labyrinths can often have a particular “specialty” in healing, improving ones
health or alleviating symptoms of certain diseases. From the Catholic
Encyclopedia -- Labyrinth is a complicated arrangement of paths and passages;
or a place, usually subterraneous, full of windings, corridors, rooms, etc., so
intricately arranged as to render the getting out of it a very difficult
matter…
Early
Christians took a vow to visit the
“The
labyrinth has its origins in ancient pagan rituals, most famously at
What are
Labyrinths used for; the explanations come from those using it. The Rev. Sarah
Bentley of New Life Institute, a centre for counselling,
education and spiritual growth related to the Austin-area United Methodist
churches, said she introduces labyrinths to people as a form of meditation.
They are training the participant in a walking meditation. Meditation is the
process of quieting the mind, various methods can be used to bring a
consciousness change so that you still your mind, and you become
uncontrolled conscious. Meditation is a spiritual practice of many eastern
religions. We are told that by clearing a space within the mind, and allowing
yourself to experience whatever emotions or thoughts surface during your walk
you come out with a labyrinth experience. Your questions can be answered…It
becomes apparent that although this is taking place inside some churches, it
really is a non-Christian practice. Many New Agers claim they are not into
religion, but practice spirituality. With these types of descriptions, one may
wonder what does this have to do with Christianity? The answer is -Nothing… One
of the major initiators in reviving the labyrinth in our time is Rev. Lauren
Artress…Dr. Artress states, “The labyrinth provides a sacred space where the
inner and outer world can commune, where the thinking mind and the imaginative
heart flow together... a space to listen to our inner voice of wisdom”.
She goes on to speak of the experience of walking the labyrinth in the
following manner: “Walking the labyrinth is a spiritual discipline that invites
us to trust the path, to surrender to the many turns our lives take, and to
walk through the confusion, the fear, the anger, the grief that we cannot avoid
experiencing as we live our earthly lives. The labyrinth is a place where we
can open ourselves to the Holy Spirit. We can ask for guidance and pray for
ourselves and our loved ones.” Certainly one is able to do this without a
Labyrinth, the early church did not depend on this vehicle to help them with
their spirituality. Jesus already instructed us how to be open to his leading
and his answers so why do we need to use this other religious device?… Dr
Lauren Artress says, “To walk a sacred path is to discover our inner sacred
space: that core of feeling that is waiting to have life breathed back into it
through symbols, archetypal forms like the labyrinth, rituals, stories, and
myths.” This has nothing to do with practicing Christianity and everything to
do with other spiritual practices that Bible tells us not to participate in…
What does
the God of the Bible have to say?
Can one
seek or come to know God by a Labyrinth walk? It may be the latest fashion in
spirituality touted as a spiritual tool of meditation and prayer but is it for
a Christian? We are told in Colossians 2: 8: “See to it that no one takes you
captive through philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition,
according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.”
Some are trying to justify this as a Christian tradition. In fact it couldn’t
be, not just because it is not found in the Bible, but because it goes against
everything the Bible and Christianity teaches for one to practice true
spirituality. Walking through the Labyrinth is not a rediscovery of a lost form
of Christian spirituality but pagan spirituality. Though it may be reformed and
repackaged to our modern times, we can be assured it has nothing to do with
Jesus who gave man the true spiritual way of life. I don’t think one can
Christianise this practice, nor justify its use. Especially with what we have
already discovered about how it is being used, is it pleasing to God that we
walk labyrinths when He has told us not to take up pagan practices?… Walking
meditation and stopping to quiet oneself is not promoting prayer. Not all
that is claimed to be spiritual, is good or from God. We are told as Christians
to test the Spirits. Do we now need experiential prayer elements? Did Jesus
look for a Labyrinth to teach people to pray? What happened to going into our
rooms to pray quietly (Matthew 6:6)?… [Lauren] Artress does not withhold her
rejection of the straight and narrow way found within Christianity. She
explains the labyrinth is more forgiving and leads its followers forward in a
flawless path. God’s word states you cannot walk the wide road and claim to
follow Christ who says HIS way is the narrow road and has nothing to do with a
Labyrinth. In Matthew
The use of
‘’The Labyrinth Experience’ may have seemed to those both promoting and
hosting it to be a good ‘way’ to kindle some interest in spirituality
and prayer. In the light of Mike Oppenheimer’s report, the words of Proverbs
The NPP and 2 former
Presbyterian Moderators:
In recent years there has been
much talk and discussion about what has come to be known as the NPP.
This I hasten to add is not referring to the ideology of some ‘supremacist’
political party but rather the NPP refers to a new ‘take’ being put
forward by an array of theologians on the inspired teachings of the Apostle
Paul, in particular in relation to the glorious truth of ‘justification’. The
initials stand for the ‘New Perspective on Paul’ but the reality is that
it is just another attack upon the truth of God’s inspired word and so it is ‘no
new thing under the sun’. When analysed in ‘the cold light of scripture’
this ‘new perspective’ is being used to undermine the very heart of the
true Gospel and is being used to further the aims and ambitions of today’s
liberals and ecumenists. Faithful servants of God have written some very
helpful articles and I want to draw extracts from one particular article that
will hopefully give you an understanding of what sadly is being advanced in
many colleges and seminaries around the world and also close to home. The
article is found on the website of The Trinity Foundation. The article is
entitled ‘The New Perspective on Paul’ and was written by Louis
DeBoer [Editor of American Presbyterian Press]. Herewith are the extracts [with an
occasional added comment by myself] –
‘Let
us first recall what we are being asked to discard, the "old perspective
on Paul." The old perspective declared that Paul was concerned about God's
law, sin, and individual salvation, and taught the Reformation doctrine of
justification by faith alone…Justification is an act of God's free grace
wherein he pardons all our sins and accepts us as righteous in his sight, only
for the righteousness of Christ imputed to us and received by faith alone"
(Westminster Shorter Catechism,
Question 33). The Gospel, the good news, presupposes the bad news, the fall
into sin and man's hopeless condition before a just and holy God, as recounted
in Genesis. Man violated the
covenant of works, which is the covenant God made with Adam in the Garden
before the fall…
The good news, the
Gospel, is that Christ kept this covenant on behalf of His people, His elect.
He hung on the cross in our place and suffered the death that we deserved. He
paid the penalties that this covenant required of those who transgress it. And
more than that, He kept its terms for us. He led the perfectly sinless life of
faithful and personal obedience that God requires of us, thereby earning
everlasting life for us. Christ's perfect obedience to the law of God, His
sinless perfection, His spotless righteousness, is imputed to us at the moment
we believe the Gospel. We are justified, declared not guilty, because of the
imputation of our sins to Christ, and the imputation of His perfect
righteousness to us…The imputation of Christ's righteousness to us when we
believe the Gospel fits us for Heaven and fellowship with a holy God. Both the
obedience to God's law and the satisfaction of God's justice are absolutely
necessary, and both are provided by Jesus Christ. We are saved by His passive
and active obedience, not our own…This is the Gospel that has been preached and
proclaimed, believed and trusted, for the past 2000 years, especially during
the 490 years since the Reformation…And this is the Gospel that we are now
being told is all wrong because it is based on a misunderstanding of
first-century Judaism and what Paul was actually trying to teach…
The New Perspective on
Paul (NPP) says that the Western churches for the past 2000 years, and
especially Protestants for the past 500 years, have all misunderstood Paul…They
claim that justification has nothing to do with our legal standing before
God…but to ecclesiology, the doctrine of the church. Justification is
horizontal [Cecil - the man to man relationship],
not vertical [Cecil - the man to God relationship];…
Paul was not concerned about how we are delivered from our sins as much as he
was concerned about church membership…
According
to the NPP, Second-Temple Judaism was really a religion that believed in
"salvation by grace," and it has been improperly condemned as being a
religion of salvation by works, human merit, and one's own
righteousness…According to the NPP the problem was not that the Judaisers in
the early church were corrupting the Gospel and teaching a false way of
salvation so much as they were confusing badges of church membership….They
refused to admit Gentiles into the church unless they wore the Jewish badges
of covenant membership: circumcision, adherence to the ceremonial law, etc.
[Cecil – this NNP
assertion is totally refuted by Acts 15:1 “And certain men who came down from
Judea taught the brethren and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner
of Moses ye cannot BE SAVED”]
To the NPP, the entire question is,
what is the badge of covenant membership in the New Testament - circumcision or
faith? According to the NPP, "justification" has to do with how we
recognize who is in the covenant family. "Justification by faith"
simply means that faith, as opposed to circumcision, observing the dietary laws
of Moses, etc., is the badge that enables us to recognize who is a Christian,
that is, who is in the covenant community. They are careful to point out that
they mean faith in Christ as Lord, not faith in a substitutionary atonement. [Cecil - An
atonement that ALONE propitiated God’s wrath and that ALONE expiated the guilt
of God’s elect] They believe that the whole plan of
salvation that the Reformers taught as the Gospel is a fabrication based on a
misunderstanding of Paul and Judaism. The following quotations from NPP
theologians give a sense of how they express these views:
The doctrine of justification by
faith came to expression in these key letters of Paul (Galatians and Romans) as his attempt to prove that God's covenant
blessings were for Gentiles as well as Jews…Justification by faith is Paul's
fundamental objection to the idea that God has limited his saving goodness to a
particular people. (1)
[Bishop] N.
T. Wright
"Justification" in the
first century was not about how someone might establish a relationship with
God. It was about God's eschatological definition, both future and present, of
who was, in fact, a member of his people…Despite a long tradition to the
contrary, the problem Paul addresses in
Galatians is not the question of how precisely someone becomes a
Christian or attains to a relationship with God…The problem he addresses is:
Should ex-pagan converts be circumcised or not?… it has to do, quite obviously,
with the question of how you define the people of God. Are they to be defined
by the badges of the Jewish race, or in some other way? (2)
By
"the gospel" Paul does not mean "justification by faith."
He means the announcement that the crucified and risen Jesus is Lord…To believe
it is both to have assurance…and to know that one belongs in the single family of God, called to share table fellowship with all
other believers without distinction (Galatians
2:11-21). (3)…It is not how you become a Christian, so much as how
you can tell who is a member of the covenant family…the doctrine which insists
that all who share faith in Christ belong at the same table…the central tenet
of the NPP ‘Justification’ is not about salvation from sin, but about "who
belongs at the same dinner table." It is about social fellowship and food,
not sin and righteousness.
The
Agenda of the New Perspective
What motivated the originators of the NPP to craft this
revisionist view of Paul's theology? Since they have been rather explicit in
promoting the alleged benefits of their "perspective," we can gain a
direct insight into their agenda. I will cover it under the following heads –
1. Anti-Semitism. Proponents of
the NPP say they want to vindicate Paul from the charge of anti-Semitism. They
think Paul's harsh words against the Judaizers and his low estimation of
first-century Judaism lays him open to a charge of anti-Semitism…Now, Paul was
himself a Jew, with a passion for the salvation of his fellow Israelites…Paul
even said, “For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my
brethren” [Romans 9:3]… These are not the words of an anti-Semite, but of a man
desperately labouring to bring salvation to his fellow Jews who are trapped in
the coils of a false religion,
2. Ecumenism.
The proponents of the NPP decry the results of the Christian
Reformation…They believe that both sides in the Reformation misunderstood Paul,
and that the entire Reformation was a gigantic mistake….and they hope that
their teachings will reunite Catholics and Protestants…They see their novel
doctrine as particularly useful in reuniting all branches of the
"Christian" church and accomplishing the goal of one church in one
world.
3. Socialism.
Third, they see their doctrine as of great use in advancing the
church in its primary goal of promoting "social justice." [Cecil –
4. The Gospel.
Finally…The Gospel of the Christian church, which was restored in
the Christian Reformation, must be eliminated and replaced with something else, something more relevant, more
mundane, more tangible. The NPP is radically opposed to the Biblical doctrines of sin and
salvation…and it asserts that Christians have misunderstood the Bible on this
very basic point for the past 2,000 years..
Now there is a common
thread to all these concerns. There is a uniformity to this agenda. These are
all Liberal concerns. Christians are concerned about truth. Christians are
concerned about sin and the salvation of their fellow men, about their eternal
standing before a just and a holy God. Liberals have other concerns. They do
not believe in the Gospel. They see no need for it because they do not believe
in man's desperate condition before God. Their concerns, like the Sadducees of
old, are all related to this present world. The New Perspective is the latest
form of theological Liberalism.

Ligon Duncan, "The Attractions of the New Perspective(s) on Paul.
This
article by Louis DeBoer continues on to consider ‘The Attractions of the New Perspective’ and ‘Theological History Fabricated by the
NPP’ before drawing some ‘Conclusions’ in which Mr DeBoer writes – “Today's "Evangelicals" [Cecil – those promoting the NPP] extend the right
hand of fellowship to wolves in sheep's clothing [Cecil – likeminded liberal ecumenists] and count
heretics [Cecil - The Pope, his priests,
so-called “Evangelical Catholics” etc] as "esteemed brethren."
In the light of this very helpful article by Mr DeBoer I want now
to relate this NPP to 2 former Irish Presbyterian Moderators namely Trevor
Morrow and Russell Birney. Back in the late 1990’s I had identified how
they were twisting and misrepresenting Paul’s letter to the Galatians. Their
‘heresy’, for that’s what it is, didn’t go under the banner of the NPP but in
the light of the more recent controversy addressed by Mr DeBoer I can now see
that this is precisely what both Mr Morrow and Mr Birney
were advocating. Mr DeBoer identified
‘ecumenism’ as being on the agenda of those promoting the NPP and it was in
precisely this context that both Mr Morrow and Mr Birney
set forth their ‘twisted teachings’. What follows now are extracts from what I
wrote about the teachings of Trevor Morrow and Russell
Birney.
On Trevor
Morrow I wrote -
‘I mentioned the 1998
‘For Presbyterians like myself, who still hold
to the principle of the Reformation – of justification by faith alone, the
implications are straightforward. If these [’29
Catholic’] testimonies are evidence of real faith in Christ, then whatever
our theological differences, these Roman Catholic believers are justified by
faith alone, and so are our brothers and sisters in Christ’. In Paul’s
letter to the Galatians, he saw this doctrine [justification by faith
alone] as vital for Christian fellowship and freedom. The Jewish
Christians from
Trevor
Morrow is teaching that Paul’s
argument with the Judaisers was centred upon what the basis for ‘fellowship’
should be. This is Mr Morrow’s ‘devious scripture-twisting’ that I referred
to earlier. Paul’s argument was not dealing with the basis of ‘Christian
fellowship’ but with the basis for ‘salvation’. “The gospel of
Christ [alone] is the power of God unto salvation” [Romans 1:16] and the
Judaisers were preaching a ‘gospel’ of ‘Christ + works’ [just like Rome] that
can never “save” anyone and so these preachers and their ‘gospel’ were placed
under God’s curse [Galatians 1:8-9]. Paul positively encourages the discernment
of and separation from such false teachers whereas Trevor Morrow
teaches that those who rightly exercise Biblical discernment and separation
are the ones who are in error. Trevor Morrow, by
what he wrote in his ‘Commendation’ is…guilty of mimicking the role
played by the Apostle Peter in the ‘Galatian error’
On Russell
Birney I wrote –
‘On
This NPP,
as I wrote earlier, ‘is just another attack upon the truth of God’s
inspired word’ but it is a very serious one because it undermines the very
heart of the glorious gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. What is particularly
worrying, from a local standpoint, is the fact that 2 men elected in the last
decade to the role of Moderator in the largest Protestant church grouping in
Ireland have been in the forefront of promoting this gospel-destroying heresy.
It is to be hoped that their influence will not adversely influence or affect
what is being taught as ‘The Gospel’ in the theological college in
In
conclusion, the Daily Devotional ‘Footprints of Faith’ had these
thoughts for 18 July [when writing this article] on the
phrase “To teach them war” [Judges 3:2] – “It was necessary for God’s
ancient people to learn the discipline of war…We must know the enemy. How vital
is good intelligence in a military campaign. Child of God, do not underestimate
the strength of the enemy. It is not for nothing that he is compared to a lion
and a dragon. How subtle is our adversary. He can
disguise himself as an angel of light…We must develop a holy skill in the use
of the weaponry placed at our disposal. There is ‘the sword of the Spirit’,
which is the Word of God, How wonderfully our Saviour wielded that sword…He met
every subtle satanic onslaught with ‘It is written’…We can wage a good warfare
only as we are ‘strong in the Lord and in the power of his might’ [Ephesians
Tony Campolo and ISLAM [2]
As stated
on page 9 of my June newsletter I want to outline some further
misrepresentations of Islam that have been made by Tony Campolo. I want to
quote some extracts from an interview Tony Campolo [TC] gave to Shane
Claiborne [SC] [founder of an ‘evangelical’ Monastic Community
called ‘The Simple way’] on ‘Evangelicals and Inter-Faith Co-operation’.
[SC] Both Muslims and Christians are very evangelical in the
sense of desiring others to come to faith in their God. When we talk about
inter-religious cooperation, does that mean that we need to stop trying to
convert each other?
[TC] We don't have to give up trying to convert each other.
What we have to do is show respect to one another. And to speak to each other
with a sense that even if people don't convert, they are God's people, God
loves them, and we do not make the judgment of who is going to heaven and who
is going to hell…I think that what we all have to do is leave judgment up
to God. The Muslim community is very evangelistic, however what Muslims will
not do is condemn Jews and Christians to Hell if in fact they do not accept
Islam…Islam is much more gracious towards evangelical Christians who are
faithful to the New Testament, than Christians are towards Islamic people who
are faithful to the Koran…Mohammad was very understanding that there was
great truth in Christianity. He differed with us in that he felt he had a
more complete truth, and Islam would hold to that, but Mohammad contended
that we would ultimately be judged in terms of the truth that we had at our
disposal…I've got to believe that Jesus is the only Saviour but being a
Christian is not the only way to be
saved.
As you will see I have underlined some sections of what is a
composite of replies given by Tony Campolo and I want to expose what he has
stated to the spotlight of both Scripture and also what Islam actually teaches.
I will take a couple of his statements and compare them with what the Bible
teaches and then take another couple of his statements and compare them with
what the Koran teaches. The upshot of all of this is clear - Tony Campolo is a
man that no Christian should trust.

‘even if
people don't convert, they are God's people, God loves them, and we do not
make the judgment of who is going to heaven and who is going to hell’ |
In a
recent article on the group IKON I wrote the following and it has application
to what Tony Campolo said about unconverted people being – ‘God’s
people’ – In the article I wrote - ‘God’s ‘family’, those who can truly refer to Him as “Father” is
restricted to those who have been brought into a saving, eternal living
relationship with Him, grounded on the atoning work of Christ on the cross
and brought about through the regenerating work of God the Holy Spirit. When
someone undergoes a genuine work of Holy Spirit regeneration one of the many
“spiritual blessings” with which they are “blessed” [see Ephesians 1:3] is
that they are then “adopted” into God’s family and can rightly call Him “Abba
– Father” [see Ephesians 1:5, Romans 8:14-16 and Galatians 4:4-5}. It is only
those who have been truly “born again” [see John 3:3-7] who can joyfully and
confidently affirm “Beloved, NOW are we the children of God” [1 John 3:2]. |

‘Jesus is the only Saviour but being a Christian is not
the only way to
be saved’ |
Just as
Muslims classify non-Muslims as infidels/unbelievers so Christians classify
non-Christians as unbelievers. Why? Well, turning again to my article on IKON
I wrote this and again it has application to Tony Campolo stating that ‘being
a Christian is not the only way to be saved’. I wrote – ‘the
Lord said to the disbelieving of His day – “If ye believe not that I am he
[God’s promised Messiah] ye shall die in your sins”… In John |

son of Marium… whoever [like
Christians] associates (others) with
Allah, then Allah has forbidden to him the garden [paradise/heaven], and his abode is the fire [HELL]…a
painful chastisement shall befall those among them who disbelieve’ [HELL] Surah 8:36-37 ‘those who disbelieve shall be driven
together to hell. That Allah might separate the impure from the good…then
cast it into hell’ |
|
Mohammad was very under-standing that there was great
truth in Christianity |
The
deity and atoning death of Jesus Christ separate Christianity from all the
other false religions of the world. What had Mohammad to say on these issues? Surah
19:88-93 ‘they
[Christians] say: The Beneficent God has taken (to
Himself) a son… an abominable assertion. The heavens may almost be rent
thereat, and the earth cleave asunder, and the mountains fall down in pieces,
that they [Christians] ascribe a son to the Beneficent God… it is not
worthy of the Beneficent God that He should take (to Himself) a son. There is
no one in the heavens and the earth but will come to the Beneficent God as a
servant’. [All, including Christ, are
merely servants/slaves] Surah 4:157 ‘their saying: Surely we have killed the Messiah,
Isa [Jesus] son of Marium… they did not kill him nor did
they crucify him… they killed him not for sure.’ |
Contrary
to what Tony Campolo said in the interview, unconverted Muslims are not ‘God’s
people’, only Christians are ‘saved’, Islam does condemn Jews and Christians
to ‘hell’ as ‘liars’ and Mohammad had no understanding of THE ‘great truth’
of Christianity – the person and work of Christ. Tony Campolo certainly has
what it takes to be a member of the wolf pack of Matthew 7:15-16.
