[asa] Re: Peacocke's theology and the meaning of "Christian"

Saddam Hussein was not a Christian either as he was a Muslim. Wells belongs to the unification church on his own admission so I am not judging but recording what he says.

It is not your explanation of Arthur's liberal theology which is at fault but your claim he is not a Christian, which I find despicable and contrary to Christ's teaching.

I did not say that "Christian " has no fixed meaning. I am wary of being over-precise as the NT is not either. However once when someone asked if he could be a Christian and not believe in the resurrection I said no.

  But you say that Jonathan Wells is not a Christian,

  That's not judgmental?

  If "Christian" has no fixed meaning, how do you

  know?
