Comments on the New Testament and Early Christianity (and related matters)
Janet, I did specify in my comment which specific type of progs I am speaking to/against. If you look at the 8 -pointers, those who believe orthodoxy is a grand conspiracy, and those who believe that the vows taken take second place to a pledge made to a caucus group, you will see a group of people that are as divisiveness as fundamentalists.
There are progressives who are orthodoxy and affirming. I cheer them on. I am them. But, those who say Christianity is but a path among many, those who deny the bodily resurrection of Christ, those who believe Jesus was a mere man, and the such? There can be no division made, as Wesley said, with someone who simply claims to be a Christian.
I applaud David’s audacity via this post. His tone matches his purpose; his prose is pitch-perfect for the hour and the crowd. I think he’ll walk the tightrope right up to and through General Conference because he believes there’s no legislative solution to the impasse. I think he also believes there isn’t a compromise that will (actually) work to spare the church. One thing we can count on: “The human mind may devise many plans, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will be established” (Proverbs 19:21).
