The information for this post was taken from the Christian News who gleaned their information from (Christianity Today?) I use the parentheses and a? because I sometimes wonder Christiananity Today stands. This is my first post regarding this interview with false teacher Miroslav Wolf. I plan on continuing posts on this article until I cover the points Dr. Wolf made in this interview.
I often comment on things that should seem obvious to all; but is what I say obvious to all? I think it should be obvious to all but may not be because there is so much of a mess that has been made trying to denigrate True Christianity. I am sure that many of us would like to believe that our Jewish neighbor, Muslim associate at work and Mormon and Buddhist friends are all going to be saved when it is all said and done.This is of course, not the case and would make the true Christian faith irrelevant as all would be saved because of there works . This mindset also calls Jesus a liar and questions the veracity of the Scriptures themselves and in the end results in socially moral atheism, if there is such a thing (because it doen't matter what you believe you can even be your own God as long as you are a good person and everything is ok!) even Satan is saved because in this scheme of things he does not exist or is forgiven. This is precisely why the Reformation started in the first place which the Emergent Movement is trying to unravel. This would seem to be what Miroslav Wolf , a theological professor at Yale Divinity School and formerly Fuller Seminary Professor ( no surprise here either) would suggest and being that it itches the ears it just feels so good! Just because it feels good does not mean we do it .
Wolf believes that it is important that Christians and Muslims realize that they worship the same God because 1: They make up two of the world's largest religions and comprise more than half of the people in the world
2: Christians and Muslims are at each other's throats literally if not figuratively and we need to find ways to live peaceably together.
These are his quotes by the way!
Well hug a tree and free to be you and me!
Tell that to the Coptics and Catholics in the Middle East who have asked for nothing more than to live in equality and peace. Not only does Dr. Wolf get it wrong theologically but geopolitically( Geopolitics takes the backseat here). In my area, there are a lot of Copts who have told me what is happening in Egypt and it is not good and that as a minority and Christians they have always wanted peace and this pursuit of peace is not the doctrine and practice
Here comes the Cortisone the itch is about to disappear.
Christ did not come to this world to bring peace but to save it from sin. Christ says in Matthew 10:34-35 Think not that Iam come to send peace on earth. I came not to send peace but a sword . For I am come to set a man against his father a daughter against her mother , and the daughter in law against her mother in law.(KJV) So much for peace ! So Christ does not promise peace and if we do not believe that He is the only way to Heaven we are accusing Him of being a liar. If we say he is lying then His Word has no place in our lives and we have no salvation.
