Hemingway comments:
I was at the NPC breakfast with Wright this morning, and no one seems to have picked up on what I thought was one of the most remarkable comments this morning:Hemingway then quotes all of John 10:16, which I offer here from the ESV:
MODERATOR: Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto the father but through me.” Do you believe this? And do you think Islam is a way to salvation?That was the extent of his answer, and after he gave it, Wright backed suddenly away from the podium to gaze at the audience for dramatic effect.
WRIGHT: Jesus also said, “Other sheep have I who are not of this fold.”
And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.Does that say what Wright seems to think it says?
Hemingway comments:
As a practicing Christian, I've always been under the distinct impression that Christianity was not to be regarded as part of a spiritual smorgasbord where all options are equally valid, as Wright seems to suggest here.The Corner on National Review Online
