"One of my aims is to unhook them from allegiance to the Bible as something they follow instead of their conscience or, ironically, the example of Jesus," he said. "That's the choice you have to make if you are going to be a humanist Christian. I want to introduce younger evangelicals to the idea that they have to recalibrate their loyalty. They can live by the Bible or live by Jesus. They can't do both". --Christianity is about doing both because Jesus wrote that Bible! In fact, John 1:14 plainly says Jesus is "the Word made flesh, and dwelt among us." In short, no servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other. (Luke 16:13) This is what's being personified by this man's confused philosophy. During the times when he 'believes' in God, Schaeffer clearly hates Him, though it's self-evident Schaeffer never really knew Him either. This is what happens when people are taught to view the bible as a collection of out-of-context verses which can mean anything you want them too. Schaeffer is described in this article as "formerly evangelical royalty" because his father was Francis Shaeffer, who was hugely influential in the Christian conservative movement in the late 1970's and early 1980's. To give you an idea of how bad the elder Schaeffer's theology really was, famed false prophet Tim LaHaye cites him as a positive influence in LaHaye's terrible 1980 book "The Battle of the Mind." Both are a major reason why the Protestant movement is dead today with the exception of the small remnant which will not be defeated. We are in the 11th Hour right now, and if you are among those who haven't fully broken your ties with your old churches, please do so now! No, I'm not saying you shouldn't still try to reach out to people in the fallen churches, but you simply cannot continue to have fellowship with them if you want to be counted among God's true church. Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues (Revelation 18:4) isn't a suggestion. It's a command to the obedient child of God. When you receive a thus-sayeth- the-Lord from the bible, you need to take it seriously.
