Suffice it to say that I was raised United Methodist, and left nearly thirty years ago when that church was already teaching Matthew Fox's heresy in Bible studies back then, so this current bit of heresy doesn't surprise me. IMO the key phrase in the article is the UMC pastor's assertion that unborn babies are "guilty enough" of Original Sin so as to justify killing them. Wouldn't that justify (in this pastor's mind) the killing of any unsaved person, born or unborn?
There is nothing good to say about this dead heretic, his bizarre theology, or the theologically liberal world out of which he comes. Nor will I defend my denomination which has provided haven for heretics and heresy. Nonetheless, I know of many individual churches which are Godly places where lost souls can find salvation. For now I believe God has me continue on their behalf the fight to resist the darkness. I do not discern a much longer ministry there, though. I sense a soon to come line of demarcation.
