Eric Metaxas Is Wrong About Dietrich Bonhoeffer

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Eric Metaxas has had a prolific career riding the coattails of the Post-War Consensus martyr, Dietrich Bonhoeffer. In  a recent spat with the Episcopalian Church USA, Metaxas chastises them for invoking Dietrich Bonhoeffer for their liberal opposition to President Trump. However, in a twist of irony, Metaxas’s critiques of Episcopalians ring more true of Bonhoeffer himself.

What the Episcopalians say about Bonhoeffer matters not. Far be they from the first liberals to invoke Bonhoeffer to oppose Trump or as a test of orthodoxy….

CRN has compiled a list of false teachers and several other professing Christians we’ve warned you about over the years. The list also contains those we must keep an eye on plus movements, organizations and “frauds, phonies and money-grubbing religious quacks” to mark and avoid as per Romans 16:17-18 such as Eric Mataxes.
