The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum N.T. Wright

The answer to this is clearly indicated in muchforgiven's latest reply. Sometimes (for me most always) instinct (the Holy Spirit's witness) is to be preferred over what some might want to call 'caution'. It all sounds so lofty and 'Christ-like', but in the end the destruction of the Church results. Look at how Federal Vision has flourished due to those in power not having the strength or perhaps even wisdom to have dealt strongly with the individuals promoting it at the beginning!! It has been YEARS and all that has really happened is a few statements that disparage this damnable heresy.

Isn't this rather contradictory to what you have already said, i.e., we shouldn't jump to conclusions about someone reading N.T. Wright's book and even recommending it to his congregation? Just the fact that the book was written by N.T. Wright should send up myriad red flags and stir up serious questions as to this man's thinking. You may want to give such a person the benefit of the doubt, but not I. Something is terribly wrong and I wouldn't hesitate to find out what is going on KNOWING that if he recommended such a book by such an well-known author, this is bad.
