Or we could say, and I’ve tried to argue this here and there, they cease to exist as an image bearing human being. They’re saying in effect, ‘I no longer want to be somebody who is called to reflect God’s wisdom into the world and reflect the praises of the world back to God. I just don’t want to be that sort of creature anymore.’
(Protestia) Famed New Testament scholar N.T. Wright has weighed in on the state of those who explicitly reject Christ and salvation, suggesting they’ll simply be annihilated or exist in some state of being a creation, but not an image bearer.
We last wrote about Wright after he suggested that abortion may be a tragic yet best allowable option in cases of rape, incest, or for the mental health of the mother who can’t deal with a child with physical and mental deformities, that belief in the bodily resurrection of Christ is not necessary to be a Christian, that “Adam” and “Eve” were simply a primal pair of hominids (a type of primates that first appeared 5-7 million years ago) living among other hominids when “some strange force or power” called to be a part of “the human” project, and that God will save billions of people who have never heard of Jesus, but are “following the light that they have been given so far.”
Research: Progressive (Social Justice) ‘Christianity’
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 N.T. Wright.
