Michael Medved And The Wacky Episcopalians

On today's Michael Medved radio show, he addressed the issue that I posted on Sunday on the "reverend" Anne Redding and her being a Christian and a Muslim. Of course, your humble blogger was ahead of the curve on this one.
It is good to know that this is going to be talked about because I fear one of the attempts of liberal Christians is to blur the lines between Christianity and other religions. The overwhelming majority of Christians understand that our religion is unique. It is not compulsory. It is an invitation to have a real relationship with God through his only begotton son, Jesus Christ by the grace of the Holy Ghost.
But, those wacky liberal Espiscopalians forget one of the most important messages of Jesus Christ. It is from the Gospel according to St. John:
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the father, but by me." St. John 14:6
No, not through Moses or Mohammad or the flavor of the month for the liberal Christian and or Episcopalian. What they miss again is that we are invited into that relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Jesus is simply stating the obvious as to what separates a follower of Jesus vs. any other religion. It is NOT exclusive as the liberal would claim.
While the "reverend" Redding was teaching faith development, she should have focused on the above passage and she may have not been so weak as to have to become a Muslim.
Of course, Mr. Medved thought that this is absurd and there was lively discussion, but at the end of the day, no matter what the Bishop of Washington says, the "reverend" Redding will have to make a choice. I have no doubt she will put on the hijab and reject Jesus.

you know 64 this goes beyond just the idea of religion you profess to. if you are in relationship with someone, as in this case Christ, and especially being a pastor, you would have no thought of switching your allegiances as it where. this shows for this pastor it is about religion instead of relationship, and that is the saddest thing of this whole affair.
