The point of quoting Gandhi was not to win an argument but to disply the attitude and the reception that Christians have gotten in this time.
One of ECM’s favorite people to quote is Gandhi (i.e. called, The Christ of the Indian Road). The ECM when quoting Ghandi are just embracing what is called, Emerging Dalit Theology (read: James Massey, Down Trodden: The Struggle of India’s Dalits for Identity, Solidarity and Liberation. Geneva: WCC, 1997) over the Holy Scriptures.

Gandhi, who is not a Christian, would have never accepted Christ, if Christ himself was “in person” doing miracles, feeding the poor, etc., etc., etc. You assume that depraved man desires to hear the Gospel when in fact they despise it. Only the Holy Spirit regenerates a person, and that, only if they were elect from the very foundation of the world. The enemies of the Church will always find something to complain about—and some of it is merited. However, in spite of the Churches problems, of which there are many, the Church is still accomplishing the mission God has ordained it to do. It will succeed—this we are promised!

That said, the Church today does need to improve its witness on many fronts. However, we DO NOT need ECM, Gandhi, or another depraved individual’s criticism or interpretation of the Holy Writ to reach that conclusion. We have the Word of God which says—“do it.” We have the Holy Spirit to guide, direct, strengthen, and convict us to “do it.” Why do those in the ECM need these “scholars,” that are enemies of the Church, to direct them in doing biblical truth?

The end game of the ECM is merely: "I can do all the Bible says as Satan instructs and strengthens me!" <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/drop.gif" alt="" />
