Here is another example of poor judgment and lack of discernment coming from www.newspring.cc NewSpring Church. We see
another twisting of the Scriptures and redefining of terms like the "world". Perry Noble's second Reformation is taking place in the Upstate of
SC focusing on changing our church culture and replacing it with NewSpring culture. This assault focuses heavy on redefining words and calling people like me a
Pharisee. Noble claims that people like me are religious and p^%$ed off. I will get into Perry Noble's teaching that Jesus was a radical soon. I just need
to lay a foundation showing how NewSpring has twisted definitions to justify their sin and rebellion.

This is yet another attempts to redefine the biblical perspective of the world. The Bible is very clear about the world and how we are not to love the world. What this children's minister is doing is trying to justify his love of rap music by adding a little humanism to the mix. The result is that God really did not mean you couldn't enjoy culture because after all Paul used Greek culture to lead people to Christ using an idol to an unknown god. By changing the meaning of the term "world" in 1 John 2:15-17, we now have this new definition of World:
NewSpring's new definition of the world:
World: where live as Christians. As long as we say "Jesus" anything in the world is fine as long as you put Jesus in it.
The Bible is very clear about not loving the world or this present age:
1 John 2:15-17 (New American Standard Bible)
Do Not Love the World
15Do not love the world nor the things in the world If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.
17The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.
You can follow Pudge at http://twitter.com/pudgehuckaby He is a good example of someone who is captured by the world rather than captured by Jesus. This is the fruit of the errors taught by hireling Perry Noble.
Colossians 2:6-8 (New American Standard Bible)
6Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,
7having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established [a]in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude.
8See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.
This is a classic example of talking with two mouths. I have personally confronted Mr. Huckaby in the past only for him to fall back into NewSpring's new definition of "not loving the world", because according to NewSpring dogma as long as you say Jesus, volunteer for the church, and put Jesus first then it's ok because people are just being Pharisee's who judge you!
The Bible is very clear about language and sin:
Colossians 3:8 (New International Version)
8But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.
1 John 4 (New American Standard Bible)
1Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
2By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;
3and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.
4You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.
5They are from the world; therefore they speak as from the world, and the world listens to them.
6We are from God; he who knows God listens to us; he who is not from God does not listen to us By this we know the spirit of truth and the
spirit of error.
We are working hard to expose this false church.
