Sadly, it is now being applied to a growing movement of once-professing born again believers. Alisa Childers, author of “Another Gospel?” defines deconstruction as, “the process through everything you’ve ever believed about God and Jesus — the Bible, Christianity, all of the doctrines, all of the history — everything you thought about it, and you’re sort of rethinking everything.”
Don’t get me wrong — as long as the Church is in the hands of sinners, there will always be a place to ask difficult questions about the origins of our theology and religious traditions. Without asking hard questions, spiritual entropy will take over, and we will only spiral downward into deeper and deeper pits of apostacy, errancy, and false teaching. Asking questions is not the problem — but glomming onto wrong answers and heralding them as dogma is.
