“The sheer arrogance of it all is mind-boggling. Who does Stanley think he is to redefine Christianity? He’s not the first to try this, of course—liberal theologians have been doing it for centuries. But Stanley is particularly dangerous because he comes from a respected evangelical background, yet he is leading people down the exact same path that others have followed into heresy. It’s the same old liberal poison, dressed up in new packaging.”
(The Dissenter) Andy Stanley, the son of famed late pastor Charles Stanley, has once again taken the liberty of redefining Christianity on his own terms. In his latest sermon, he laid out a scandalous proposition … Christians, he suggests, need only believe in two miracles—the creation of the universe and the resurrection of Jesus. Just two. That’s it. Forget the rest.
Toss aside the virgin birth, the miraculous healings, the prophecies fulfilled with pinpoint accuracy, the ascension into heaven—none of that is essential anymore. According to Stanley, you can deny almost everything else in Scripture and still call yourself a Christian.
