What harm could come from quoting Kierkegaard?

A day or two ago I asked if NewSpring’s leaders might be inviting trouble by embracing Soren Kierkegaard’s liberalism.

Here’s an example from John Rich about where these ideas can lead.

What lesson should an allegedly Bible-believing Christian such as meself take away from such thoughts? Keep reading the Bible, believe in the bedrock truths of God and his creation. But don’t believe it to be the literal truth (as in, “this is being written on March 17, 2009″ is a literal truth). Know that we live in our time. God’s time is different, and unknown to us. And that God’s truths may not manifest themselves in our lifetimes.

God is the ultimate authority. His word may usually be discerned through the lens of the Bible. Usually; not always.

BCoop, is there anything here you disagree with? Is Rich misinterpreting your Kierkegaard quote? If he were to read your or Perry’s blogs, would he know any better?

This blog is mine alone and does not necessarily–or very often–represent the thinking or sentiments of anyone who disagrees with me, my wife, my employer, my friends, my family, my pastor, my brother, my church and, almost certainly, God. After I hit the Publish button, it doesn’t always even reflect my own thinking. It does seem to often reflect the thinking of Tommy F, Twit Conway and some guy in Minnesota, however.
