Is there a difference between him and John Spong? I thought Wallace at least believes Jesus is God and man and He physically resurrected on the third day, that salvation is trusting in Jesus Christ alone as Lord and Saviour alone and not of doing any works in merit for salvation.
And I thought he at least opposes porn, gay marriage, drugs legalization, and abortions. Or am I mistaken?
Not much! Spong is a member of the ... what is it now...Jesus debate? Jesus society? AH The Jesus Seminar. Along with the wonderful Marcus J Borg who wrote "Taking the Bible Seriously but Not Literally."
I hear my friends who are wintering in Tennessee just went to church down there and noticed their long time United Methodist church pastor was preaching from Wallis's "God's Politics" (aka Jim's politics) and the assistant, female, pastor was leading Sunday School using one of Spong's books. I can't recall the title. She was appalled. She hadn't known about Wallis etc until I alerted her to Wallis's alliance with our denomination (my ex denomination) President Glen Palmberg.
You know, he thinks all those things are private matters, but if God had his way, we wouldn't do them.
