Because of the quote from Kierkegaard, this post sounds familiar but I could not find anywhere that sionnsar posted it. If it is a duplicate, forgive me. Unless you haven't read it, in which case, as always enjoy Chris Johnson's willingness to speak truth to power.

I also wonder if these guys don't get 'talking points' from 815. We had a visiting bishop (Shannon Mallory) on the same Sunday and he delivered almost exactly the same homily. --newheart

FReepmail sionnsar if you want on or off this moderately high-volume ping list (typically 3-7 pings/day).
This list is pinged by sionnsar and newheart.

At some point in the past, liberal theologians diligently read the Scriptures and came up with ingenious scholarly devices to carefully undermine confidence in the Scriptures and to refute Scriptural doctrine.

This generation of liberal theologians, unlike their forebears, do not even bother to read Scripture in the first place.

The old liberal theologian stance was: "Jesus taught that He was the only way, but in other ways He encourages compassion for the wayward. Therefore there is a conflict at the heart of the New Testament - we have to ask ourselves how to resolve this difficulty" etc., etc. Specious, but based on reading passages from the Scripture against one another.

Today it's: "Jesus hung out with lepers and stuff. He was like, totally tolerant of anything anybody ever did. So it doesn't matter what you believe. He wouldn't care."

The latter point of view is the view of someone who has never actually studied the Scriptures with any attention.

Heretics used to be extremely clever. Now they are subliterate morons.

But we Christians are a bunch of scheming swindlers.

Maybe SOMEBODY is suffering a delusional breakdown here and wants to drag everyone into the asylum with him.

Take any words in the New Testament and forget everything except pledging yourself to act accordingly. My God, you will say, if I do that my whole life will be ruined.

For those who worship the old man, their old lives will be ruined. .. The only sacrifice required today is to sacrifice the old man. Let God regenerate and sanctify the spirit per His will.

This is a pretty good example of heresy. Some heretics say there is no God, others that Jesus was not God, others say that there are not 3 Persons in the Blessed Trinity. There is really no end to the ways you can get it wrong when you reject the Truth.

We have natural reason and the observable universe around us. By those things we are responsible for our choice to recognize the existence of God. But we also have free will. By that, we can choose to deny the existence of God. But we are responsible for that choice.

Here a "Christian" who really ought to know better, rejects Divine Revelation, which, by the way, no mortal can arrive at by his own power, since it is God that revealed it. We would not know that there is no other name by which a man can be saved if God had not explained it. But He did. Now it's our turn.

It is up to the Rev. Dr. George Regas, Rector Emeritus of All Saints Episcopal Church of Pasadena, California, to step down off his pseudo high-horse and acknowledge his utter dependence upon Divine Revelation. If he does not do so before he breathes his last, he will have taken in a lie in exchange for the Truth, Who is blessed forever. Amen.
