CHUCK SMITH JR.
PROMOTES CONTEMPLATIVE AND CATHOLIC RITUALS
[From
Lighthouse Trails - posted here 1/29/06]
"In a January
15th sermon, Calvary Chapel Pastor Chuck
Smith Jr. ended his message by giving the sign of the cross, a
Catholic gesture. In light of the following statement by Smith Jr., this
is not too surprising: In his book, The
End of the World As We Know It, ... he stated:" More and more Protestant Christians—and
we are way behind the Roman Catholics on this score—are discovering a
new, yet old way of reading the Bible: lectio
divina." p. 103
It appears that Chuck Smith Jr. has jumped on the contemplative/emergent
bandwagon."

Chuck Smith Jr. answers the Question: Do Good People
Go to Hell? His answer: "No one's doctrine is perfect. I suppose
that in some ways, we are all as far from the truth as the Mormons are
from orthodox Christian theology. We will not have to pass a doctrinal
exam to enter the kingdom of heaven. But we will have to pass another
type of exam (i.e., 2 Corinthians 5:10). Were we good people? Did we
follow Jesus in His compassion to others? "
