Andy Stanley the HERITIC hireling is just too illinformed, lazy and derilict in his position of "shepherding" and protecting the flock entrusted to his care to simply read and communicate the truths and facts found in Josh McDowell's apologetic masterpiece "The New Evidence that Demands a Verdict".
I have but one question: where did Andy Stanley go to seminary and get his MDiv degree from?
As someone who has taught Biblical Studies, Systematic Theology, and Pastoral Studies on both the under graduate and graduate level, I can assure you that every theologically sound, biblically based evangelical seminary requires their MDiv, and Th.M. degree students to take a minimum of at least one course on Appologetics. And this subject is also thoroughly covered in the basic course of Bibliology, which all students are usually required to take in order to graduate.
So, in Andy Staney's case the ONLY conclusion that I can draw is that if Andy went to seminary and took either of these BASIC courses then he is taking this position because he does not believe the Bible is the Word of God, period! Therefore, Andy Stanley is a HERITIC. Following the principles outlined in Matthew 18, Andy Stanley should be tried, removed from his position and his ministerial credentials should be revolked by the Southern Baptist denomination.
The SBC doesn't have the power to discipline a pastor. The action would have to come from the local church, and as long as he's bringing in the cash, the Deacons are unlikely to act.
He went to Dallas Theological.
Swindoll’s DTS is NOT Chafer’s DTS.
But then again, even in the good old days, DTS cranked out Bob Thieme at some point - so nothing’s perfect.
I’d blame Andy Stanley’s last 20 years rather than his seminary background, at this point.
He got his MDiv from Dallas Theological Seminary.
It’s spelled heretic. Where did you go to seminary? ;)
