Promoted Blanchard, who ever that is? Spoke at some conferences with alot of others. Signed some arguably pointless documents. Nope think I got it all.

So my question remains, what does he teach that marks him as a wolf in sheep's clothing rather than perhaps having a lack of discernment about some of the company he keeps, pointless (and political) gestures and being once vulnerable to the siren song of the then new and unfamiliar emergent movement?

Please help me to undertand what measure is being applied here. What I see so far is a lot of people listed in Vic's post that seem to have one thing in common ... they have put their thoughts in writing on understanding and applying the scriptures.

You still missed what was said. Jeremiah teaches from the books written by contemplative writers [Blanchard and Mc Laren] and supports them. These teachings are not Scriptural.

Contemplative/emergent is a new movement teaching mysticism, yoga, and eastern meditation as well as the "ancient mystics" or monks and priests who practiced these things. This is promoted as meditation by contemplative [mystic] prayers and practices, centering prayer, Christ-consciousness, creative visualization, silence, voices, visions, and so forth. This is not of God.

Hope that clears it up a bit
