An apology?

For the first time, today, I am reading through the 1611 Church of England translation edition (Thomas Nelson Publishers) for the book of Isaiah.  It’s masterful.

Harvard Divinity School Pluralism at its best

Reading this, don’t you feel warm fuzzies all over that Wendy has for other American gals who like to share their Christian convictions? 

Religious pluralism leaves you feeling so happy and peaceful, doesn’t it?

“Sister” Wendy reminds me of the “brethren” in Isaiah 66:5 who hate you and cast you out for sincerely seeking to be loyal to Jehovah rather than the clamor of religious group speak.

I bet that Wendy would categorize any passionate love for Isaiah’s YHWH as “fanatical”, “abusive”, “over the top”, and “out of your mind” in today’s enlightened America.
