Erickson has usefully turned subtext into text. Many evangelicals like him do think liberal Protestantism is Satanic, but are usually to cagey to be explicit. https://twitter.com/EWErickson/status/944601917405188096 …

I like how you can't appreciate that there is a difference between Jesus and Erick Erickson.

I realize your point, to the extent you have one besides momentary convenience, is to delegitimize the use of religious language in religious debate, but there's a reason the harshest language in the Gospels aims at false teachers. see also http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/_P80.HTM …

Do you agree with Erickson's point that liberal Protestants are Satanists?

Your words, not his. As a Catholic, I naturally diverge from Protestant readings of Scripture, which should be read as originally intended as understood via 2,000 years of tradition & scholarship.

You understand that this is a position that Erickson said is Satanic ("talking serpent").

Nope (although I'm comfortable with grave theological differences among friends). Evans is assuredly not arguing for reliance on Church tradition.

Her position is much closer to the Catholic church than Erickson's literalism.

No, because her position is constrained by neither text nor tradition. That is the path to just making stuff up.

The idea that liberal protestants are just "making stuff up" is a shameful libel on a major branch of Christianity.
