Actually he's a well known Biblical scholar and devoutly religious from an early age, but he's getting on in years.

Actually, he's a homo(sexual). That is his (pagan) religion.

If he is a well known biblical scholar, why did he come to the conclusion, cited above, that the Bible is, in effect, detrimental to humanity? Where do his moral teachings come from, and why should they be accepted by anyone?

[Bogolyubski]

A well-known Biblical "scholar" who denies the virgin brith, denies the miracles, and denies the resurrection. Liberal "Christianity" epitomized. It's apostasy - nothing more.

Were you referring to Satan or the defrocked Bishop Spong?

wonder how he squares his homosexuality with the Bible?

Yeah, he's "religious" all right ... .

He's no Biblical scholar. He's a heretic.

Actually, you're wrong. Bishop Spong used to be my bishop. He's an arrogant,narrow-minded egotist who has nothing but scorn for anyone who accepts traditional Christian teachings. He seems to believe that the world began with Darwin, and that everything that happened before is irrelevant. He delights in attacking some of the most loved traditions of Anglican worship, such as the beautiful ceremony of Lessons and Carols (done in preparation for Christmas)He says it must be eliminated.
He also says that the only part of the Nicene creed he believes is the phrase "he suffered, died and was buried."
As for the Bible, he is fond of saying"The Church wrote the Bible and the Church can always rewrite the Bible". I don't know where you got the idea that he is devout. While he was bishop, Episcopal Church membership in his diocese dropped 40%; it is now almost entirely in the hands of militant leftists.

"Scholar"?? I'm afraid you're quite delusional.

The man is a blaspheming liar and perverter of the Bible -- IOW, he's a tool of Satan.

Actually he is a heretic and is typical of what is wrong with the Episcopal Church.

In my view being a well known Biblical scholar and devoutly religious from an early age doesn't matter in light of heresy, blasphemy, and sacrilege. Are you saying that he talks this way because he suffers from dementia? That would be an entirely different matter.

[LittleBoPeep]

Nuts!! He doesn't believe in the trinity, the sacraments, salvation through Christ. He doesn't even believe in God!!
He is no scholar, he is an anti-Christ.
