Speak the truth in love. Eph 4:15

[wagglebee]

The Diocese is bringing him here. Marcus Borg is one of the founders of the Jesus Seminar in 1985. The Jesus Seminar is a group of liberal scholars who have decided that very little of what is portrayed in the Gospels is historically accurate. They say that they are in search of the “historical” Jesus, rather than the Jesus of “myth” as portrayed by the Church for the last 2000 years.

These people are among the most dangerous groups to Christianity today. Groups such as the Jesus Seminar find an eager audience in the readers of books such as "The DaVinci Code" and all of the new age nonsense. The secularists know that if they destroy the Gospel they can destroy Christianity, which is there goal. The writings of Josephus (who had no Christian leaning per se) essentially parallel the Gospels, but these are overlooked because they do not help the secularists.

All I can say is:
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Matt. 7:15

I suppose that in ECUSA Churches the liturgy still includes the Nicene Creed?

Do Spong, Robertson and their ilk still recite it, just move their lips or sit through it?

C.S. Lewis nailed it with his comment about pride. Sheesh.

If this is any measure, I agree with most of the 12 Theses that Spong has written.

And I consider myself an agnostic, certainly not an Episcopalian.
