Monasticism or Marxism

Pastor-teacher Ken Silva connects the dots of the affection for monasticism & the "New Evangelicals". The pattern that pattern emerges proves there is nothing new under the sun...

"...this neo-monastic “Protestant” evangelical return to the religious bondage of apostate Roman Catholicism has also positioned itself as another offshoot of the emerging church. Using its patented smorgasbord spiritual blender approach to the Christian faith—picking and choosing whatever they like from any movement/tradition which even remotely claims it was/is Christian—they then puree its doctrine until it takes on the fluid consistency necessary to reimagine [read: twist] it with the relativism of postmodernism."
