On the Streets of Babylon: Dissing the Resurrection

Babylon is fallen, is fallen,... 
Come out of her, my people,

Revelation 14:8/18:4


There seem to be some Dissing the "Resurrection" on the Streets of Babylon...
 
"While much of the recent divisions within mainline denominations in the West have centered around marriage and sexual ethics, the nature of Jesus' resurrection has also been contested.

In May 2018, Methodist minister Roger Wolsey penned a blog making the case for progressive Christianity including the statement: “Going to heaven after we die isn’t what the faith or salvation is about. … Jesus’ resurrection didn’t have to be understood as a physical one for it to be a real and meaningful one."
He argued that Paul and many of the early disciples encountered a "spiritually risen" Christ."
