A Heretic Chatters to the Wind

Bishop Gene Robinson offers his blasphemous "prayer" to his own personal god.

Jane Wilson said...: This is a clear political statement and has nothing to do with prayer. If indeed it is a 'prayer' it is seemingly to a powerless, uninterested being. Hope not in Jesus is no hope at all.; January 19, 2009 at 4:12 PM
Mike said...: I read the text of his prayer and didn't find anything particularly blasphemous in it...agree that it was more of a speech than a prayer to a personal God...but most public prayers given on behalf of politicians are. I have a feeling that no matter what he said you would consider it blaphemous because of who he is not necessarily what he says.; January 22, 2009 at 2:41 PM

Once again you are wrong. The man is a heretic. Of course for those who don't believe that doctrine matters then there is no such thing as heresy. But when a man prays to the god of our many understandings then clearly he is praying to an idol. That you don't know this is very sad and tells us a lot about the increasingly sad legacy of the emergent church fad.; January 22, 2009 at 7:32 PM

I'm not an idiot and I don't need to "chill out". Most of the people who read this blog are not idiots. I will not let you dignify the bishop's blasphemy on this blog.; January 23, 2009 at 2:10 PM
Mike said...: did I call you an idiot? I don't recall using that kind of language...all I said was that I took Robinson's comment "God of many understandings" differently than you did...and that I don't care for someone telling me what I believe and don't believe because I happen to be open to some postmodern ideas about scripture...is that so offensive? I don't get it...unless you put me and Robinson in the same category...in which case we are back to the "label, demonize it" strategy.; January 23, 2009 at 3:58 PM
Todd Pruitt said...: Mike,

To address God as "the god of our many understandings" is inappropriate. It is idolatry. If you think that is a legitimate way to address the God of Scripture then I am sorry for you. I really don't care how you "take it." God has told us who he is. You can read about him in the Bible.

My blog = last word on this thread.; January 23, 2009 at 4:29 PM
