Baptist Standard follows up on Kimball controversy

DallasNews Religion | Sam Hodges:

“Charles Kimball is the Wake Forest professor and author who spoke at a Texas Baptist conference in February. His comment that Christianity and Islam talk about the same God has gradually become controversial within state Baptist circles.”

Ed Cognoski responds:

In the beginning, Abraham and his family worshipped God, and it was good. After begatting upon begatting, Abraham's descendents moved apart and grew apart in their understanding and memory of God. Eventually, these micro changes reached a point where the descendents of Abraham could no longer have theological intercourse with fertile result. Cumulative micro changes had resulted in divine speciation. Yahweh, Jesus, Allah were the common names given to the new species of supreme beings worshipped by the children of God. God saw this and was not pleased. But scientists nodded their heads knowingly.*

* This lesson of evolution was unwittingly made possible by the Baptist General Convention of Texas.
