When I began to have serious doubts about Berg, the kind that could no longer be put on a shelf and wrapped in a bundle of faith, reading the Bible was what got me to really start doubting Berg.
I read 1Cor.5 one day with the Family Mo Letter glasses off about how the early church dealt with a guy who had sex with his stepmother (his father's wife) and when reading the condemnation of this, I thought, Wow, why have I never seen this before?
But of course I had read it before, but with the Berg-glasses on, interpreting everything through the lens of the Mo Letters like 'When is adultery not adultery any more?' or 'they didn't have the faith back then for our sexual freedoms but we are no longer have to obey the New Testament, Paul was a damned Jew, and I have as much right to my opinion as he has to his.'
I realized Berg was like the guy in 1 Cor. 5 who laid his step-mother.
