Dr. Francis Macnab

Hm… I think some folks are correct in saying that whenever a church has the word “uniting” or “united” in its name, there’s trouble a-brewing.

Dr. Francis Macnab, a noted psychotherapist and executive minister at St. Michael’s Uniting Church in Melbourne, Australia, has proclaimed “a new faith for the 21st Century” that goes beyond orthodox Christianity.

Firing a provocative salvo to launch his new faith, he has claimed, among other things, that the Ten Commandments are “one of the most negative documents ever written”; Abraham is probably a concoction (of the imagination), Moses a mass murderer and Jesus, well, now, he was just a Jewish peasant and certainly was not God.

I’m back with another installment where I share with you my favorite blog posts in the past week:

Here’s who: Joseph.

No, no, not the Joseph who served the Egyptian pharaoh and therefore saved his father Jacob and his own family from famine, but the Joseph who married Mary and fathered other children with her, among whom is James the half-brother of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I mean, this man Joseph is seldom mentioned in sermons on obedience though I think he must have been one of the most obedient servants. When he was asked to marry Mary, his betrothed who was then with child, he didn’t say “no”. Neither did he refuse to flee to Egypt when told to do so.
