BioLogos or Diabolus?

Kent Sparks - #19986

I have no interest in preserving Christianity ... I believe because, as I understand it, it makes sense of human experience. But if it turns out that Christianity fails to do that, I’ll simply turn elsewhere.

St Peter

After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. So Jesus said to the Twelve, "Do you want to go away as well?" Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.

(Jn 6:66-68)

  1. 1. Wham!

    2. Doesn't give the impression of a man who was broken by the burden of sin (much less noetic sin), does it?

    3. Perhaps he was converted by a "Try Jesus" bumper sticker?

  2. And to think the youngsters who have been taken in by this sort of cryptic-athieo speak whine at me for calling them "stealth atheists."

  3. Steve, You say that BIOLOGOS, Enns, Sparks, are attempting to justify their infidelity, and you imply that they hate God, and that is the REASON behind the BIOLOGOS website.

    Now read Sparks and Enns' books as listed on my list of five books every Christian apologist ought to read, and deal with the rational arguments that first raised questions in each of their minds. They did not start out with a wish to justify any sort of infidelity. They studied the questions that a wide range of scholars have been asking about the OT, and began asking their own questions in each of their books.

    Please stick to addressing the questions in their books.

    i) You're such an incorrigible fool. I reviewed Pete's book when it first came out.

    ii) You're in no position to dictate to Christians what books we ought to read.

    iii) It's clear from his articles at BioLogos that Sparks is rehashing stock objections which have been around for decades. Nothing I haven't dealt with before.

    iv) The fact that an apostate like you is vouching for their motives has about as much credibility as a character reference from the Old Serpent.
