"um this guy is a dangerous heretic. "All Scripture is God-breathed" 2 Timothy 3:16"
He is far more intelligent than your average evangelist! Paul was the heretic and much of what he said contradicts the finer spiritual teachings attributed to Jesus.
If you read the Bible , it's really not a very moral book. It's full of viloence , rape killing, incest , slavery and a few morals thrown in. The fact that people think that the Bible is a good book, made by God, shows how much people don't think and don't bother to read the Bible. It's primitive Bronze age bullshit written by near savages who seem to have just discovered morality. People are such sheep ! Please, please please try to do a little thinking. We need to do better as human beings.
@allthesealsareopen God did not write the bible, although he did inspire it. I'm sure Spong has faith that scripture was inspired from God. He doesn't say it's incorrect. As for the nuclear weapons, I'm not sure what you're talking about.
@allthesealsareopen I'm hoping you're just trolling. But then, you are 51 years old. I'm guessing you've grown up in a very hardcore christianity and you're pretty set in your ways. I pray for you, I really do, because you are stone cold crazy, sir or madam. You are nuts. Did you even read what you just wrote? What happened on the 21st?! Who's son are you talking about?! Great wars and earthquakes? These are all things that have happened since day one. You're a paranoid fool. How can you exist?
@allthesealsareopen Are you insane? Naming yourself 'the seals are open'? What's the even for? You think you're doing 'God's Work' spreading the news that YOU THINK the world is over? Some cosmic scroll is being unraveled? Naw. This isn't worthwhile for YOU, or anyone. You're just here to make a big scene and get people riled up. The world is no different than it was yesterday. There's no seals. No end times. No Antichrists or any other fear-based paranoia that the bible spreads. Just humanity.
Who gives a good goddamn what Jesus taught? Jesus was a roman era peasant who had a few semi enlightened though fundamentally flawed ideas and was, by the way, completely mental. This guy is a common era man who has an extensive study of those ideas and teaches people how to have a religious outlook that's not completely based on 2000 year old tribal superstitions. Fuck your Christ with a broom handle, I'm tired of hearing about the teachings of a jewish sorcerer.
@whyteay says the "non-Christian" who just so happened to look at a video dealing with Christianity. It must be hard being in your shoes. Having deep issues is never easy.
I think Spong would rather be known as a good man than as a religious one. I wonder why this guy would want to be known as "reverend" since he doesn't seem to value revering people who claim to be God's agent.
@ChaoticMethod23 "Reverend" refers to the person (agent) not the diety. It is Reverend Spong, not Revering Spong. I wonder why he would want that word in front of his name, particularly in light of what other people who put that word in front of their name do in the name of God (as if they knew anything about what God wants).
"It is quite shocking just what a person can get away with in the United States just by putting the word 'Reverend' in front of their name." - C Hitchens
This is the entire gospel in a nutshell... "By this shall you know that you are my disciples, that you love one another." Spong is right the mark, despite the thoughts of you haters of his, Christ's, true gospel.
Humanism, plain and simple, the teachings of Simon Magus. Simon the sorcerer. A universal religion that causes many to fall into the ditch. Do not fall for the shortcomings of man.
Seems like he's preaching a message of unity. That is a fantasy and not biblical at all. He takes many things out of context and wants to make Christianity "all inclusive", and IT IS NOT. Jesus says in LUKE 12:51 "Suppose ye that I come to bring peace?" I tell you no, but rather division: From now on there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father: the mother against the daughter....
thanks for getting the point. He's preaching tolerance and inclusiveness for all men under god. What a distinctly unchristian and yet christ-like message.
The Bible has done more to harm the human race than do good for it
