MARCUS BORG: “NON-EXCLUSIVE” AND “PROGRESSIVE CHRISTIAN” »

Marcus Borg tells us in Jesus And Buddha: The Parallel Sayings of which he is editor:
I write as a Jesus scholar and a devoted non-exclusivist Christian. Buddhists might see matters differently and I know that some Christians would. But the cumulative product of my thinking and experience is the conclusion that Jesus and the Buddha [...]

CONTEMPLATIVE/CENTERING PRAYER AS “CHRISTIAN” MEDITATION »

At Apprising Ministries you will likely hear me talking more about the new spirituality which has now slithered its way deep into postevangelicalism from its den in the Emerging Church. The fact is this neopagan Gnostic spirituality is most pointedly on display in the misguided mysticism of the Emergent Church with its reimagined postliberal theology. [...]

HERETICAL MARCUS BORG TO INFECT WISCONSIN »

Phil Haslanger informs us in The Captital Times that so-called Progressive Christian and scholar Marcus Borg:
is one of those rare public religious scholars whose low-key demeanor masks the passion he generates across the spectrum of Christian groups.For some, he represents the worst heresies of liberal Christianity, wrapped up in the notion that he questions rather than [...]

“PROGRESSIVE CHRISTIANITY” IS NEITHER PROGRESSIVE OR CHRISTIAN »

I titled this short post concerning Marcus Borg as I did because these progressive snakes are attempting to pass themselves off as genuine Christians to the world and they are currently infiltrating the Body of Christ through their daughter the Emergent Church. You need to understand that so-called “Progressive Christianity” is really just old liberal [...]

JESUS AND BUDDHA: A CHRISTIAN VIEW »

As a companion to Christian Research Net post Opposites Attract Buddhists here in the essay by Marcus Borg referenced below he begins by telling us, “I am by confession a Christian of a nonliteralist and nonexclusivist kind (once Lutheran, now Episcopalian).” But what you’ll read within this piece is the end result of Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism; it is neither [...]
