*blocks your path*
who is him?
David Bentley Hart
*puts universalism in your Bible*
*acts like an asshole to everyone he cites, even when said person is cited positively*
*rejects the resurrection of the flesh*
*rejects the essence-energy distinction*
*claims early Christians were divided between the regular and the "Pneumatic", and that early Christianity and Gnosticism weren't distinguishable overall*
*writes shitty books that have never convinced a single atheist*
*claims the schism between the Orthodox and the Catholics didn't really happen*
*claims the early Christians were Communists*
*is a self-proclaimed anarchist and votes left-wing*
*accuses Orthodox clergymen of being Eunomians*
Whew, that sure was a busy day for David Bentley Hack!
Don't forget, he also said that the Bible stole the ideas of afterlife and resurrection from the Zoroastrians.

A complete and utter heretic? I find myself every day longing for Christ's coming, and I marvel at His patience with these snakes.

It's going to get way, way worse before it gets better.
Seems like a really smart guy. Is he really that heretical?
His gnostic stuff seems overblown to me (meaning overblown by people don’t like him). His book, the Story of Christianity had a pretty good chapter on the gnostics and why they weren’t Christian, what was different between them and Christians, and why Christianity was accepted by people whereas Gnosticism was rejected. I never got the impression from him that he thinks Gnosticism is true or authentic Christianity. It seems to me he just thinks Gnosticism is older than a lot of scholars say, and he thinks there was a lot more overlap between Christian and gnostic communities than a lot of more orthodox Christians like to portray. I don’t realky see what’s wrong with that
So why are protestants memeing this faggot?
Protestants? What are you talking about?
I only see protestants cheering up this guy. Whether if it is ironically or otherwise I don't know.
...
It's more theological opinion than heresy, those types of people are attracted to orthodoxy since little is defined in comparison to Catholicism I think that is why.
this is the first thread I've ever seen of this heretic
these are the kinds of memes shared on dbh's facebook fan page, wow
All these Lefties will sure be disappointed to know that Heaven is an absolute monarchy.
what a tigger
leftism/progressivism is inherently un-Christian, God's word is eternal
not agreeing with the image but what about progressive revelation
that was 2000 years ago

Something tells me they won't find this out.
