Technorati“It is a logical impossibility for someone to be both a Muslim and Christian since they stand in direct opposition to each other on such crucial theological issues as the cross, resurrection, and salvation,” Caner, a former devout Muslim, said to The Christian Post.
And Chuck Colson, founder of the Christian ministry Prison Fellowship, commented that “there’s so much wrong here that I scarcely know where to begin,” in response to Redding’s dual faith.
Colson pointed out that religion is not only about “feelings,” but being Christian is about believing in undeniable truths such as original sin, the Trinity and the divinity of Christ.
“Redding is simply an extreme example in the Episcopal Church,” concluded Colson in a commentary last month.
Currently, The Episcopal Church is experiencing a number of divisions within the American church body and facing a possible split with the worldwide Anglican Communion over its pro-gay stance, which the majority of Anglican leaders have called a departure from Anglican tradition and a violation of Scripture.
The Anglican body in the United States has been given until Sept. 30 to unequivocally pledge not to consecrate another openly gay bishop or authorize official prayers for same-sex couples. If Episcopalians fail to agree to the demands, they risk losing their full membership in the communion.
Christian Post reporter Michelle Vu in Washington contributed to this report.
