Does the Revd ever read the bible?

This is all working towards Jesus being declared officially, a metaphor. Bank on it.

More recently he was part of the campaign to legalise assisted suicide in Scotland.Pretty much tells you why he denies Jesus Christ. He sees him as competition.

You know, we hear stuff like this from dum-dums like this guy, and ask “doesn’t he know what the Bible says????”
But really, how is this functionally different from Catholicism directly contradicting the plain teaching of the biblical text as well?

Peter 3:18 (KJV):
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit

Hey Rev how about listening to Jesus himself:
Matthew 20:28:
“just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

It's a most ghastly theology except for all the other theologies, such as...
- Thinking that a holy just God who declared that the penalty for sin was death is going to ignore unforgiven sin.
- Thinking that a holy just God who knows no sin, is going to accept you if you have 51% good deeds and only 49% evil deeds like the Islamic scales of justice.
- Thinking that if you do something good it makes up for having done something bad, for scriptures say if you knew it was good, it's only what you should have done anyway.
- Thinking that there is no God and this life is all there is.

To: smokingfrog
it was "ghastly theology" to believe that Jesus Christ died for sinners. The nature of God includes love and justice.The justice of God required that God find a way that the penalty due to us for our sin would be paid, for he could not accept us into fellowship with himself unless the penalty was paid.Paul explains that this was why God sent Christ to be a "propitiation" (Rom.3:25), which is a sacrifice that bears God's wrath so that God becomes "propitious" or favorably disposed toward us.God sent Christ to die and pay the penalty for our sins.This is basic atonement theory in theology books.

Technically, he is a heretic, being a 'member' of the 'Church' of Scotland.
Now, he's a Christian apostate.

Debate, discussion, the expression of different points of view, symptoms of the death of the West. Imagine this clown expressing this blather in the period 1200 to 1700 A.D.

To corrupt those that do obviously. Infiltrate and destroy. It’s worked spectacularly thusfar.
