In this Journal, SCP looks at the accumulated damage and apsostosy of
two centuries of liberal scholarship; covering such things as the Quest
for the "Historical Jesus," the gnostic pronouncements of the
Jesus Seminar and their pet project, the Gospel of Thomas, the radical
feminist theology of Mary Daly, Rose Mary Ruether, Virginia Mollenkott
and others as exemplified by the annual mainline denomination "Re-Imagining"
conference, the radical deep ecumenism of Matthew Fox and his Institue
for Creation Spirituality and its look-alike cousin, the Cosmic Christ
of the New Age movement, and finaly, the truth about the real Historical
Jesus.
Those of us who have encountered Him know that Jesus Christ is at the
center of history and stands at the end of history. I learned that fact
in a hotel room in South India over twenty years ago. Like it or not, the
nations of the earth, perhaps with one exception, set their calendars to
the birth of Christ . . . A titanic event must have happened two thousand
years ago for this to be a fact . . . The calendars of the earth are set
to the life of no other man or thing, not Plato, not Ceasar Augustus or
Alexander the Great, not Leonardo daVinci, Newton, or Mozart, not Confucius
or Buddha.
The proclomation of Christ is embedded in the high architecture of Europe,
in its great classical music and art, and in the guiding declarations of
the greatest universities in the world. This fact speaks of a providential
act of God. But in time, this presence will be eroded in a great falling
away to take place over an unknown period of time. Such a process of apostasy
has continued to accelerate in our lifetime. "A great falling away"
from the faith is predicted to be a key sign signalling Christ's return
-- a moment which many have tried but failed to predict.
