Attention: false teacher scores big! and way too easy! (a post about Susan Wise Bauer)

Wolf in sheep's clothing heretical false teacher (Peter Enns) performs vile and bloody cunnilingus and sodomy on doctrinally shallow and of little discernment Christian lady (Susan Wise Bauer). Turn away !

It's hard to link this one, but here's the gist: Susan Wise Bauer has a little home schooling publishing mini-empire going, and a (former, finally kicked out) professor from the seminary (Westminster Theological Seminary) she graduated from has been allowed by her to be published on an offshoot of her Peace Hill Press. He's been allowed to publish a series of books he's written for children no less. The professor is Peter Enns, heir apparent to Shelby Spong in the category of attention whore "I'm a Christian, I teach Christians, and I'm a practical atheist, oh, did I say that? only others who think they can know truth have said it? how does one define atheist? the bible is full of errors, oh but I believe the bible! did you know, children, that there are many 'messiahs' and Jesus is but one, oh, did I say that? but what is the context? are you anti-semitic? a racist perhaps? children must be taught gently, and that apostle Paul guy? he got things wrong, oh, did I say that? but did you hear the academic nuance? if not you can't complain, just give me your children...and by the way Adam never existed, it's all a myth, because Evolution (Peace Be Upon It) is the Truth and your children will not be allowed to live in a fantasy world where your fantasies of sin will disturb them, oh, did I say 'your' children?"

Susan Wise Bauer is a nice woman, perhaps, but she is a shallow woman. I believe she fears biblical doctrine for the same reasons she fears expressing any - any - political opinion, because she fears man more than she fears God, and doesn't even really know what that means. She works in an Ivy League environment. Basically she's scared shitless.

To be so naive, though, as to be the easy victim of a false teacher creep so obvious as a Peter Enns (who is also now a child brain predator) has now put Susan Wise Bauer in a new category. She's now allowing harm to be done, to the most vulnerable among us no less, through her enabling.

Susan, if you had a school girl crush on Professor Enns way back when, just get over it.

Susan's contribution to the doctrinal debate regarding Enns' work is basically this: "Who cares what anybody believes about Genesis? Christianity is about Jesus Christ!" OK, Susan, easy to see how Enns got a job at Westminster Theological Seminary in the first place if you're a graduate and you are spouting half-masticated Ramen like that.

My advice: moth ball the Enns books, and make a public apology (with a promise that you will actually study apostolic biblical doctrine sometime at least in the near future). You know about public apologies, Susan! (She wrote a book on them...)
