No, Crossan is a historian
***He’s a simple heretic, pushing his own idealogical excrement onto history. Such heresy catches weak fish like you in its net because you agree with it and don’t want to submit to Christ’s authority as God Himself.

Kevmo on Crossan: "***He’s a simple heretic, pushing his own idealogical excrement onto history.

FRiend, Crossan is a historian, period.
Whether he is also still Christian (he was a Catholic priest), I don't know, but there are only two possibilities:

  1. Crossan, unlikely, may have left his Church altogether, and is no longer Christian.
    In that case, by your own definition Kevmo, Crossan could not possibly be a "heretic", just as Jews & atheists are not "heretics".

  2. Far more likely, Crossan is still a member in good standing of his Church, and his Church has no problem with his historical analyses.
    So again, there is no possible way that Crossan is a "heretic".

Just because, FRiend, you don't like Crossan's historical analyses, doesn't make them "heretical".
Indeed, since you've never read even one word of Crossan's work, what you don't like is what you've heard second, or third-hand about it, evidence on which no possible court in the entire known Universe would convict anybody of "heresy".

Crossan is a historian, not heretic.
Kevmo is an orthodox believer who wouldn't know real history if it walked up and slapped him in the face.
