Archbishops unclear on the concept


Archbishop Desmond Tutu has written a book entitled God is Not a Christian.

Tutu, who has sufficient contempt for the clear words of Christ to be a universalist, admits that He isn't a Hindu or a Buddhist or a Moslem, either. Apparently this Anglican archbishop believes in a generic, one-size-fits-all deity who might best be addressed in prayer by "To Whom it may concern."

 Does the Second Person of the Trinity believe in Himself? If not, that's quite an identity crisis God has going there.

Actually, it's more complicated than that. On any showing, if you're a Christian,  you believe that God the Father sent God the Son as a unique revelation of Himself on a mission of redemption that was of vital importance to the posibility of human salvation, and that God the Holy Spirit bears witness to Him through the Word (defined somehow). Hard to reconcile any of this with Archbishop Tutu's thesis, of course.. But we now know from his own lips what we've suspected for a long time,

While God (at least the Christian God- whom Christians, again by definition, believe is the only real one) is indeed a Christian,  Desmond Tutu is not.
