In a recent article former Episcopal Bishop John Shelby Spong who is promoting his new book entitled "Reclaiming the Bible for a Non-Religious World" states that, "I do not think for one moment that the Bible is any literal sense the ‘Word of God." John Spong also states in the latter part of the article that, "Christianity is not supposed to make you secure", and that "Christianity is not about saving people from their sins."
Wow...
Spong has also advocated for feminism and gay rights within the church and society as a whole, and has even gone as far to challenge the virgin birth of Christ and deny the physical resurrection of Christ.
Hebrews 13:9
Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.
