I listened to the interview that the pastor conducted with William young in its entirety after I read his blog posting, and what I found most interesting is that penal substitution is the only problem he still had with the book after the interview. He questioned him on Young's view of women, his concept of hell, that Jesus " did not die to make us Christian", etc. Yet, penal substitution is the only problem that still remained ( and Young even said " Not many people are getting stuck on this same issue").
According to Merriam Webster's dictionary (www.merriam-webster-dictionary.com), the definition of a heresy is a a " self-imposed question" of a belief of an orthodox position of a church. If that is the case, we are all heretics. we all have questioned the bible or the church in one form or another on something. Anyone who is gone against the bible on anything, if their church's doctrine states that the bible is the inerrant word of God, is a heretic. Even Jesus was branded a heretic by the religious leaders. anyone who is thinking outside of the box in any denomination will be branded one as well.
A wife. a mother. A pastor's wife. Above all, a Christ follower.
