OR HOW TO PICK AND CHOOSE YOUR OWN VIEWS:
A Review of "Bottom Line Beliefs" [by Michael B. Brown] & written by Mary Ann Collins, 1st November 2009.
This book claims to describe twelve "bottom line" beliefs that all Christians hold in common. However, its description of those beliefs is confusing, and at times clearly contrary to Scripture. For example, in discussing what happens after we die (chapter 12), it includes reincarnation as a belief that is held by some Christians (p. 94). However, reincarnation is contrary to Jesus' parable about the sheep and the goats (Matthew 25:31-46). And it is clearly refuted in the book of Hebrews, which says,
"it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment." (Hebrews 9:27, emphasis added)
I have discussed two chapters dealing with beliefs that are absolutely foundational to Christianity.
Following that are some general comments about the book.
