Does postmodern philosophy in combination with Christianity completely rule out rationalism when it comes to defining doctrine and keeping order in churches? For example, a church is claiming that the Holy Spirit is causing people's hair color to change. Can the postmodern Christian rationally examine these seemingly anti-biblical claims and refute them, or does the philosophy rule that out? Or, to give a more realistic example: a church claims that God is telling them Universal Salvation is a correct doctrine. Can the postmodern Christian examine this claim with the Biblical texts? If not, then perhaps we should seek a better alternative to both modernism AND postmodernism. Is there such a thing?
What I am getting at is this: will postmodernism in combination with Christianity result in many people reverting back to pure, unwarranted, superstition?
What do you think? Provide examples, also.
