I read his ‘Velvet Elvis’ book. He has some good insights on Jewish rabinical tradition, and when you plug in some of the events of the Gospels, some interesting perspectives emerge. Pretty neat book- but I still won’t go to a church with any kind of full-time hierachy.
Cyrano is slogging through velvet elvis right now. It’s atrocious, some of the stuff he’s been reading aloud to me.
“jesus believes in you” that’s nonsense! Jesus doesn’t BELIEVE anything. He KNOWS all.
He commands us to believe because we DON’T know all.
It’s so man centered it’s hard to know where to begin, plus he incorporates universalism and eastern mysticism, both corruptions of the gospel. I guess salt water and fresh water CAN come from the same spring? Jesus was wrong then.
