Pilgrim:

Thanks for sharing your insight on this. I had not heard of this man, so anything concerning him, his views, or his teachings was new to me. Your comments were strong enough to merit further research, so I Googled his name. Suffice it to say that I was shocked at some of what I read. I’m not going to waste my time reading further, nor will I pollute my mind or spirit with his teachings.

I was taken back by the first line in one of his writings:

The American obsession with the second coming of Jesus — especially with distorted interpretations of it — continues unabated.

I don’t know whether I should laugh, get angry, or shake my head in pity. Frankly, if I were attending muchforgiven’s church, I’d be compelled to consider looking elsewhere for sound teaching. I would be very concerned about a pastor who is referencing a teacher such as Wright and even recommending his book(s). Whatever happened to being good Bereans?
