From 2004:
Liberal Ex-bishop Attacks in The Sins of Scripture
The former bishop John Shelby Spong, published his new book "The Sins of Scripture" last month, this includes considerable Biblical reinterpretation (such as the homosexuality of St. Paul) and the historical uses of scripture to justify terrible acts/crimes and sins against other people. "Can we really worship the God found in the Bible who sent the 'angel of death' across the land of Egypt to murder the firstborn males in every Egyptian household?" Bishop Spong asks. Or what about 1 Samuel 15, in which God is quoted as issuing orders to wipe out all the Amalekites: 'Kill both man and woman, child and infant.' As for the New Testament, Revelation 19:17 has an angel handing out invitations to a divine dinner of 'the flesh of all people.'" -
Ugh!
