Whilst I do not know this gentleman personally, I do have concerns regarding his beliefs. The very basis of Christian belief is that Jesus was/is the Son of God, not just the son of a Jewish peasant, (as quoted by him in the Age newspaper 16 Sept 08) There were a number of other alarming false teachings in this article (available on the age website if you want to search for it). What this very prominent melbourne minister is saying does not measure to the truth of the bible. It is this that concerns me about his so called new faith. David and Anonymous

They are both well intentioned.<br/><br/>The point of the blog is that God interacts with His creation, unquestionably. This is not simply an opinion.

Thank you for your comments. They are both well intentioned.

The point of the blog is that God interacts with His creation, unquestionably. This is not simply an opinion. It is the declaration of the Word of God, authenticated through the ages.

One of the things that I have accepted and tried hard not to fall in that trap – from right early on in my officership – is never to deride another persons belief system and theological understanding without knowing where she or he is coming from.

To say that the understanding of a ‘liberal’ United Church minister is faulty and wrong because it does not agree with your understanding is rather a ‘closed mind’ simplistic approach and will not make for good mutual Christian relationships ( even IF he is wrong in your opinion!)

Ask him to explain his position and give him the opportunity to defend himself…. it would be very interesting to hear of the outcome on your blog

Have you possibly misunderstood that “prominent Uniting Church minister”?

Instead of leaning towards a besmirching of another’s theological understanding, why not take a different approach – an approach of dialogue with the allegedgly “very wrong” minister.

Jim, I suggest you open communication channels with the Uniting Church minister in question, discuss your differences and then report back on this blog.

It would be better if a unified position is presented to the world.
