The Southwestern Washington Synod of the ELCA posted on Facebook a quote by noted liberal theologian Marcus Borg. The quote, below, says what one believes is not important for salvation. Of course, this is false. The Bible tells us, many times, that belief in Christ is needed for salvation. (See Romans 10:9-10 and Acts 16:31)
The Christian church should be helping people believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. But Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's presiding bishop thinks all will go to heaven, and universal salvation is widely accepted in the denomination. I fear, for all listening to them, who will wind up in hell.

The universalism-preaching ELCA understandably still lionizes the late "Christian" panentheist and Jesus Seminar heretic Marcus Borg.

Borg and the Jesus Seminar spent their careers trying to dismantle Christianity. Quoting them for faith advice is hardly any better than Madalyn Murray O'Hair. Of course, Josh McDowell and Lee Strobel are contemporaries of Borg, and their books proved him wrong at every point, especially regarding the quote above. So when will the ELCA post a quote from McDowell, or Strobel -- or even this quote from Jesus (John 8:24b): "For unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”
