I believe the author was "defrocked" from the strict Lutheran denomination because he proposed a more biblical (and less Lutheran) view of the so-called "Lord's supper". You may wish to read his article regarding his recognition that Luther never really shook the remnants of the Catholic (transubstantiation) error and attempted to concoct a "little bit of both" view. Some from his former denom wish to avoid giving this the consubstantiation appelation. It seems, however, unavoidable.
The writer seems dead-on with both O'Reilly and the Lord's Supper. He's probably happy to be "defrocked" by another crazy organization.
Satan will appear as everything you desire.
Luke said he checked all the sources before he wrote.
O’Reilly says that Luke is wrong about Jesus’ words on the cross.
Luke spoke with the people who saw it and wrote about it. O’Reilly spoke to a few scholars a couple thousand years later.
It’s just odd to say that they reporter on the spot is wrong, when you are thousands of years later with zero alternative sources.
More likely that Bill just couldn’t figure out the sayings from the cross, so he had to find himself an out.
Yep.
Do you understand the difference?
I bought one of these books trying to explain every thing about Jesus fifty years ago and will never buy another one.
The only object in writing the books are to make money.
Without a doubt he’s Fox News resident Obama supporter. Not a day goes by he does not talk about the “hard right” being out of touch with average Americans.
O’Reilly claims he went to Harvard. Does anyone remember seeing him there, can he produce transcripts. Some of the thing he says are like the stuff of a 12 year mentally handicapped kid. He also ends the Jesus book by saying the “body was never found”. Duh!
The most charitable thing I can bring myself to say about O’Reilly is that he is confused.
I’m waiting for his next blockbuster, Killing Bill O’Reilly.
Good one.
