“Jesus was objectively Christ from his birth in Bethlehem, his conception in Nazareth, just like you and I are objectively Christ.”🚩 -Richard Rohr [1]
The Bible app shares a Rohr devotional [2] and John Mark Comer quotes Rohr on his Practicing the Way website [3]. Given the impact the Bible app and Comer both have had upon numerous Christians, it is imperative that we earnestly examine Friar Rohr’s teachings.
The following links provide 80 hours of personal research pertaining to Richard Rohr’s theology and how it compares to Christianity (printable Google Doc and Blog format). This information was gathered from Richard Rohr’s books, devotionals, and interviews. What is shared here are his own words (not my own) side-by-side with Scripture and Christian commentary.
It’s also necessary to mention that I have reached out to both John Mark Comer and the YouVersion Bible app on two or three occasions only to get generic responses via email in return. I am genuinely praying that they do consider looking into the research, and am trusting God is using it all for good…according to His purposes (Romans 8).
“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.”
— Jesus (Matthew 24:23-24)
