Gene Robinson: Montanist Heretic

Gene Robinson: Montanist Heretic

When the history of the 19-21st century is written centuries from now it will treat a heretical movement named Liberal Protestantism (which by then will no longer exist as a major force) not very kindly. To get an idea of the ways it will be viewed, one can look at past heretical movements such as Gnosticism, Montanism, Arianism, etc.

I suspect that there will be strong evidence for treating the late 19th to 21st centuries as a period in which there was a great revival of Montanism. Texts like the this article by Gene Robinson in The Washington Post entitled "What Does the Bible Really Say About Homosexuality? Reading Texts of Terror." (see: http://onfaith.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/guestvoices/2010/12/what_does_the_bible_really_say_about_homosexuality_reading_texts_of_terror.html)
For a fuller analysis, I recommend the blog, The Reformed Pastor, which has an extensive analysis of this article here (http://reformedpastor.wordpress.com/2010/12/07/gene-robinson-teaches-the-bible/)
