I personally have had my Bible opened by Borg et al but perhaps not in the same sense as the Presiding Bishop of TEc. The modern heresies have stimulated me to study the classic ones (I found Bishop Allison's book, The Cruelty of Heresy to be a good starting place) as well as to study the Holy Book more intentionally.Undergroundpewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10182191422663119484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107887.post-26429177660673798882011-11-16T07:38:47.094-05:002011-11-16T07:38:47.094-05:00Of course we must be kind to the Borgs, the Crossa...Of course we must be kind to the Borgs, the Crossans, and the Spongs of the church, those who advance the theory of Jesus as mere great man, or even mere crazy, radical man, for Bshp Allison would even say that these are useful heresies for a church which is not yet dead. We should also feel empathy and sadness for their high intellects which have run them amuck. For all of their redactions, higher criticisms and "projects" and all of their deep knowledge of archeaology and biblical text, their book knowledge has hidden their ability to understand man, and even the Everlasting Man. Their whole premise is based on the single falsehood that any trial lawyer and every school boy can easily expose and it is this: when men want to tell lies, they get together and conspire on a common story- they make themselves look good, they eliminate and reconcile the small differences in stories. This is what men do. Men and boys who tell the truth, however, always have slightly different recollections of the same account, for no two people ever see or tell an event even in the exactly the same way, unless of course there is a conspiracy of lies. Our brothers Spong, Crosson and Borg, in being so intent on proving themselves right and Jesus so wrong by making much of minor inconsistencies as proofs of biblical falsity, have actually proved the opposite from their false knowledge and misunderstanding of man, and even boys. We should thank them for honing our faith against the sharpening stones of their high, though misguided, intellects.hank wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15854269670894659728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107887.post-7973058388037379822011-11-14T09:10:35.504-05:002011-11-14T09:10:35.504-05:00Of course it does not help when your fellow congre...Of course it does not help when your fellow congregants are wanting you to leave.Undergroundpewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10182191422663119484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107887.post-26223359183531720762011-11-14T09:09:27.037-05:002011-11-14T09:09:27.037-05:00Randall,
