   Janice,
   You could also read a bit more widely than Holding and study what some moderate Evangelicals have to say about the Bible, science, or even homosexuality. Have
   you read Tony Campolo...

  
   @ The Tony Campolo that tells people they should thank God for Karl Marx? This is a "moderate"???
  
   Oh, yes, I know all about Tony - he's a member of the radical religious left. Here's a link to one of the items I posted about him in 2004. Click link and scroll down to October 11th....
  
   "I'm not convinced that Jesus only lives in Christians." -Tony Campolo Charlie Rose show on January 24, 1997
  
   In actuality, it's the voice of a hard-core follower of Herbert Marcuse. He's a Marcusian Marxist - pure and simple.
 In other words a Christian who cares about peace, equality, poverty, health, environment etc. No wonder some consider him to be a radical.
 Tony seems to have done quite a lot for the inner city youth. ..." ~ Pim
 @ Matt. 7:22 "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not ..... in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

 There's a MAJOR difference between religious "do-gooder" gadflies and the biblical example of "The Good Samaritan".

I see... And the difference is? That their behavior does more justice to the biblical theme of the good samaritan than those who judge in the name of the Lord?

Has it occurred to you that it may be you who has departed from Him? I know this may sound like a harsh question but the sword cuts on two side you realize?
You seem to judge quickly, on incomplete data, willing to cast stones and yet unwilling to accept responsibility for what you say.

What have you done for the inner city youth lately? Or is it simple to call those who work in the name of the Lord and spread love, peace and justice 'Marxists'? To some of us such people may seem to be a threat as their behavior falls in line with Jesus's teaching far more than we could ever hope for.

Janice, I will keep you in my prayers.
In Christ
